Frankly, governments should always have gone full Linux. Or other FLOSS alternatives

I see no reason for preferring corporate controlled services, especially by corporations not in your jurisdiction, to FLOSS that you can have full control over, and in the worst case can take over development or help direct it

I know you wrote H and O, and not H2 and O2, but I’m going to assume the gas forms because those two substances pretty much cannot exist in their pure forms

And for those, O2 is necessary for our life, and H2 is non-toxic, it’s just very flammable. So I don’t know if the comparison fully works

Of course, you’re right if you mean pure H and pure O, but, again, they will immediately combine to form a new substance

“everyone’s punching up” ignores the influence of personality and compatibility though

To me appearance isn’t that important (as long as it’s feminine), what is though, us how much I like their personality, and that’s not only subjective, but also something that can be worked on. Moreover, if you like someone’s personality, chances are they like yours too, because at that point a lot of it is about compatibility as well (if I like someone who likes DnD, chances are they do the same, right?)

Humans are too much of social creatures for it to be a simple measure of “who’s hotter” evolutionary speaking

Outer worlds just felt so uninteresting to me. I played it, and it was a forgettable experience imo

Well, that doesn’t matter for blåhaj, which disables downvotes, at least

I just want to point out that Greta Thunberg is 22 years old. She’s been an adult for 4 years now

Frankly at this point self-diagnosis shouldn’t be as demonized as it is. Because getting a diagnosis is, 1. Expensive, 2. Involved as all hell sometimes, 3. Not all professionals being great, and 4. In certain countries cough the US cough, it gets you literally put on a list

I say this as someone who is diagnosed. Just preface any statements you make with you not being professionally diagnosed and that you think you might likely have it and such, and you should be fine. Ultimately the point of the diagnosis is to help you. If you feel like the autistic framework is useful to understanding yourself, use it.

Except it would still have severe consequences if it’s intelligence. Especially if it may label the person as a traitor

As a Norwegian, I don’t either. There are plenty other good electric cars

To me minimalism is about consciously thinking about what items I keep in my environment. Mostly this means I don’t buy random stuff unless I’m certain I’m going to use it, so I wouldn’t even have a canoe in the first place

I do not like when there’s a lot of stuff, it stresses me out and overwhelms me, and generally, in my experience, just causes more issues than it solves in the long run. That doesn’t mean you should throw away stuff you might need, but more that you actively think about the things you have, instead of mindlessly gathering more

So, what if I were to, say, inherit a canoe and had the space to store it? Would I throw it away? No, but I would donate it to a school yard sale

Well like, you could have a hammer without the canoe, you know

Minimalism isn’t about “as little as possible”. It’s about only having what you need. Basic tools are part of the “only what you need”, unless you got readily access to a shared supply of tools

Where? In my country there isn’t less variety, no

As a rule of thumb, there typically are very few people clamoring for volunteer leader positions. It’s a constant problem you see even in irl non-profit organizations, unless they’re fairly big/famous

It just turns out that, it’s actually just a lot of responsibility and work. Most people realize this, and don’t have the capacity to do the work, so often there even are no candidates for the leader positions… until someone reluctantly steps up because otherwise the organization would die

At least, that’s my experience in the real life organizations and clubs I’ve volunteered in

Hell yeah. Being a slut is great

I mean, it is unironically a good question though. There’s no biological reason for why that can’t happen, and in fact, it would be more efficient! You’d be less exposed to predators etc

The actual answer is, of course, that there are other reasons for why it’s a longer activity. Such as, for example, it being about social bonding

Marx when contradictions of capitalism:

I don’t know if that analogy fully works. Bees get safety, they get a maintained home, as a colony they get healthcare from pests and similar, they get security when things get rough

Yes, they do more work, but the beekeeper also cares for them, and ensures their survival to a greater degree

Not to mention, they’re not caged, they’re free to leave

Is this a regional thing? People don’t really use she or he for animals here. I live in Europe for reference

Probably doesn’t help that ‘she’ and ‘dog’ sound very similar in my language

Yes

It’s worth to keep in mind that whether something is disparaging or not depends on the intention, and the context. Similar to how, say, “gay” can be used both positively and negatively, for example, “that’s so gay”.

So why do some people like it/its? You’d need to ask the relevant person, there can be different reasons that are ultimately personal.

But here’s one way to think about it: We use ‘it’ for animals, right? Like if we have a dog, which we love, we often will still say ‘it’ for it, right? But that doesn’t mean we value it less, or somehow objectify it, or treat it like an object. We still acknowledge and respect it as a living breathing feeling being, and yet we may still use ‘it’ for it. This may be one way people might think of using it/its for themselves, at least!

And also there’s something about the vibe of it/its, I dunno, it’s hard to describe, but it is kinda growing on me a little bit as well

Oh neat! I’ve used this actually

Thanks for making mods :3
