Once we see no snowfall where it should be, arctics not freezing as they usually do, we know we fucked up. Wait...we've been seeing these patterns last year didn't we?

It's like that in most of East Asia (and Southeast as well). I don't know what will turn that around, Thailand's cannabis legalization was the only hope but that is also at risk of being taken back.

There are some countries (Indonesia) which it is mandatory to have a religion, at least it must be listed in your ID. Atheists will just list any (official) religion they want on it and don't practice. Sucks that it's so easy to discriminate people based on that.

That post was HP. LG is a korean company which makes lots of home appliances like washing machines, fridges, vac cleaner, etc.

This is for real the Linux desktop year for me, went through the switch just before the new year. Had to reinstall a couple times but no big deal, and I get to learn as well.

Not sure if out-of-the-box distros are now that user friendly yet or not, but I remember getting Ubuntu running several years ago was frustrating (no sound, bad sound quality etc) and now running EOS was pretty smooth. Pretty sure something like Mint will be user friendly enough for the general population.

Yeah, it's just a popular tactic for politicians to scare people then show that they are working on something to mitigate the "threat". Immigrants, muslims, the jew, the non believers, the radiation (but not the pollution bcs it is a money maker) etc etc

And his sandals.

There are literally 72 senators who voted against calling it a genocide dude... But everything is the president's fault, eh?

Dude, nobody's obsessed with their genitals but the zealots...

In Indonesian, there's an idiom "guru kencing berdiri, murid kencing berlari" which literally translates to teacher pee standing, students pee running. Meaning that students/followers learn not only good examples but the bad as well, and will one day be better at it than their predecessors.

Hey dude, similar experience here.

I grew up a minority, and went to study abroad where my ethnicity is the majority, then stayed for work. People would assume I'm local by my appearance, and as long as I don't have to speak, I'm blending in. I visit home quite often, once in one or two years, but every time, the feeling of being an outsider grows. I haven't been contacting most of my friends for a while, and my personal values have changed. As you said, parents are ageing, streets are different, and the empty lots I used to play in have been built.

Even though I said I feel more welcome in my current residence, being a foreigner means some landlords don't let me rent their apartment, and some banking services aren't open for me. Can't buy properties either.

I feel like an outsider anywhere I go, and I come from a country with stupidly weak passport. Can't have multiple nationalities either.

But I'll visit home often, and spend more time with my family. Time flies and things change too quickly, it'll be good to celebrate what little we have.

Wouldn't this thread be super biased to Linux users since those who use linux as a daily driver tend to talk about it more often than win/mac users?

It's just a prototype for the steering system, but the prelude looks pretty good

I think he just meant that we are a failure to our own ideals, for such a smart species we failed to be responsible or keep these companies accountable. Lets say that dinosaurs had millions of years of existence and we achieved more in thousands of years, but wouldn't it be a shame if our achievements is what led us to our own extinction? Icarus's fall would be nothing in comparison to ours, and that in itself can be considered a failure.

Sorry, it's just the "I set the bar too low" meme 😅. Yes, I'm currently in Taiwan.

A lot of companies seems to do that a lot, cut corners on the quality a little bit, push out the extra reserve capacity, etc. Then when a complaint occurs y'all quality engineers get the short end of the stick. What doesn't cost the company costs us more time, effort, mental and physical health.

if you type their name often enough, you will inevitably type them as softdiks.

I'm all supportive for the reduction of meat consumption, but I believe even collective individual action won't cut it.

Thanks! Hope for good things ahead to us all.

Well, I totally agree with you. I somewhat fall into that category as well (younger-ish generation anxious for the future).

Ha! That's hilarious, though in some places people would want your head on a silver platter...

Holy cow, eh...

Ha, yeah fair point.

Best of luck to you too!
