Yeah. I also floss every day, clean up the kitchen as I cook, keep off-site backups of my personal data, call my mother regularly to thank her for raising me, read the terms and conditions to online services, keep an up-to-date to-do list, and change all my passwords once a month.
- HeckFeck 7y agoI see you're aiming for the sainthood too. You don't also happen to help elderly women across the road, let everyone else out at a junction and never fail to say 'please' and 'thank-you'?
- edw 7y agoAt the risk of being serious for a moment, saying "please" and "thank you" are two of the lowest effort, highest reward, and plainly decent things you can do as a human.
- corodra 7y agoLooks like we found the Canadian! All jokes aside, yea... I mean... that's normally beaten into you as a child even if you grew up white trash. I would know.
- nnq 7y agoMuh. It's OK to be one of those endless-pleasers-and-thankers, that's how you are... but stop being so fucking condescending about it! ...some of us "other kind" of people actually consider excessive politeness as offensive because it wastes time and pollutes conversations and after a certain we'll start actually being offensive with people like you, and you'll just stare amazed at how horrible people we can be! When in fact we're just snapping unable to put with more verbal abuse coming in terms of "please" and and "t you" from people like you.
- qorrect 7y agoThank you please.
- stjohnswarts 7y agoThanks for your input nnq. Please tell us more. Thanks!
- edw 7y agoI advocated saying please and thank you, so I obviously believe that the more often one utters the phrases, independent of any context, the better human being one is? Not everyone is relentlessly virtue signaling or karma whoring, whether in IRL or on HN.
- xkcdfan001 7y agoYeah and some people are mediocre at their craft.
- EpicEng 7y agoAnd some people are arrogant jerks, but I'd never jump to that conclusion after reading a single comment.
- corodra 7y agoSuddenly I feel very lonely for the fact I do actually clean the kitchen during and right after cooking...
- stackola 7y agoAnd I feel glad I still have my mom and am calling her regularly. Call your moms!
- 52-6F-62 7y agoPff. My mother's a modern woman. We text and email. (I feel bad I don't phone more often)
- hombre_fatal 7y agoIt's a weird quirk of the brain how easy it is to wait until the food hardens onto the cooking utensils before cleaning it (sometimes needing a hammer and chisel to remove it) rather than just rinsing it off immediately with water. Yet, despite knowing this, picking the former route every damn time anyways. If you're like this, try putting on some small bluetooth headphones. Now cleaning the dishes just becomes a way to keep yourself busy while listening to an interesting podcast.
- that_jojo 7y agoEvery time I clean right after I cook I'm stunned by how quick, easy and painless it is. You know, the two times a year I actually do it.
- LanceH 7y agoThe difficulty for me is that a lot of food is best right off the stove. Then I have to clean it quickly afterward while happy and full, which is difficult.
- corodra 7y agoIt's weird... I'm a real lazy person. I do the dishes immediately because of this reason, it's faster and easier. I absolutely hate doing crusty dishes. So, I'm just confused in general why people wait. Its straight up less effort to do it sooner than later.
- pubkraal 7y agoI believed it until your password remark. That's a bad, bad practice.
- kungtotte 7y agoEven with a password manager?
- bransonf 7y agoEnlighten me, why?
- kube-system 7y agoNot sure I'd call it a 'bad bad practice' for a user to do it voluntarily, but it's unnecessary. I think the above commenter is thinking about the requirement a user to change a password on a timed basis. There's been a good bit of research done in this area, and the consensus is that it just causes most people to stick a number at the end of their password anyway, making the policy completely worthless at best, but it often leads to people writing their passwords down.
- stjohnswarts 7y agoYeah I think it does more harm than good for sure.
- kaazhan 7y agoDo you have a link to the research you're speaking about ? My company is really about this kind of things and i'm not convinced it's really usefull
- kube-system 7y agoIt’s not research, but I would point them at NIST 800-63. These are well thought out standards that the entire US government follows. It would be tough to find a more comprehensive or authoritative source that says otherwise. https://www.nist.gov/itl/tig/projects/special-publication-800-63 https://www.nist.gov/itl/tig/projects/special-publication-80...
- koliber 7y agoI imagine you do some of these things, some of the time. Do you write some tests, sometimes before coding something?
- blaser-waffle 7y ago> read the terms and conditions to online services sure you do
