Yup, that could also be said about music, cinema and any other form of art/entertainment/distraction. It doesn't produce anything "useful", but again, what is "useful" varies from one person to another. Some would say the waste of money is the point. You blow fireworks because you can.

Ultimately nothing matters because there is no true meaning of life, so anything that pulls you away from the dark nothingness of existence is good to take.

Can't wait to get insulted by the AI for asking a "stupid" question and be told the answer has already been asked without a link but with a passive aggressive tone hinting my family tree might have been close knit akin to a thumbleweed.

I'd argue that by your own criteria, English is that language.

My view on it is:

The world turned before we existed, it will keep turning long after we're gone.

The economy is manmade. It was modelled for humans by humans, and if we have to change how it works for it to survive, we will always find some bullshit new rule to append to the rest.

Making kids to sustain an economy is just a pyramid scheme. Don't make kids other than because you want them and you want to love them otherwise you're just scamming them.

Structured chaos is key

That's a very specific descriptive, tell me more.

Because they don't care about performances. They just want you to not pirate the game for the first couple weeks after release so they can make the most sales money, then once the crack is out, they remove Denuvo...or not.

The security is for their benefit not yours, so they don't have a reason to trust your hardware over proprietary software they control.

But maybe I'm wrong, I'm just assuming. I'm not a dickhead using Denuvo.

You look at the dishes, comprehend how you would do them if you did, build a plan, then put it in the back of your mind and go about your day.

Daily commute and sleep deprivation that derives from it is mind numbing. The only reason leaders want people to work at the office is so they don't pay for empty offices.

Want people to innovate ? Give them free time to do research on a subject your company could benefit from.

Want people to meet with their teams ? Organize team activities once in a while. Everyone will benefit and be happier for it.

Erm erm, one sec.

Ok you can crucify me now xD

Don't worry, for those of you who don't like fiberglass they also make them with asbestos. I heard you can walk on lava with them.

Nor of a quality end product.

Incapacity to discuss random topics just for the fun of it. Taking herself too seriously.

"It is what it is" is not a mood, it's a lifestyle.

It's hilarious, it's almost like they got so used to having their way with a captive console audience that they didn't consider PC players have a choice.

"doing a little extra" They forgot to mention "unpaid"

Nice try management.

Lossless compression.

I should call her

Also statistically, on the amount of monkeys that do not write Hamlet to the letter. There is an insane amount that missed it by a single letter, or punctuation sign.

Could be recency bias, could be that fashion is a cycle that repeats and old fashions are rediscovered. Could be laziness because at some point it becomes easier to trim a beard once every month than shave everyday.

Some people's skin also can't handle daily trauma from razors.

It also looks more interesting than a vanilla clean shave, imo. People might be looking to stand out for that reason.

This is gonna sound silly, but feeding the local birds is really therapeutical. For the span of a moment it's not about you, it's about the simplicity of feeding an animal you don't know, that will likely not care if you come back. No strings attached.

I used to wonder why old people do that, now I get it. It just feels nice.

A word of advice though if you plan on doing that, look up what you should and should not feed wild animals. Bread is supposedly terrible for ducks. And crows will go crazy about peanuts. Funny to see them crack them open too.

Did a jewelry workshop and crafted myself a silver ring that looked dope af. That was enjoyable.

I've been told that originally Asus was called Pegasus. But they shortened it to be listed higher in alphabetical order lists.

Guess they're trying to 😎 bring back the Peg.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying it's not the friendliest way to enthuse beginners to this way of working.

I get it's frustrating, but when you're asking your first question ever, it feels like paying for everyone else. xD

I don't know the guy nor care about American politics so don't take this comment as a support for either side, but reading the comment, I'm curious. Without the caption, would you still say the same things about his face ?

Like if it said this guy was a Nobel prize winner instead, would your opinion of him be different?

He has a very average face to me, nothing noteworthy. At best he looks like an awkward french teacher.

Inconsequential ? Sigh story of my life.

The "Aaaaaaargh fuck that hurts" virus, causing the "That's a lot of damage disease". Deadly of course .

So a catholic school ? /s

I don't think it's a deliberate thing to use technical jargon you're used to. It's just that you're used to it so your brain thinks everyone does too.

It's not a matter of ill intent but just a lack of pedagogy.
