No, traveling can be fun and exciting and novel, so many people long to do it. Travel has very little to do with narcissism. The thing that should be criticized here is the page of angry, useless nonsense you wrote. It doesn't help any

Most C-inspired languages (most popular programming languages) allow this. The only ones I've used that don't are Go and Swift. And I find it a little annoying. If you're worried about bugs, there are other things in C/C

I was going to say: This world is pretty impressive, but I'd rather see what people do in a survival world. For some reason I thought it would be a utopia with marvelous redstone machines everywhere, automating everything, etc. But not

Useful things are wonderful, even if they're obvious and not new or even innovative. The problem is considering things like Snapchat, Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter innovative when they're absolutely not. They're fundamental

I was planning to watch it the night before, but it was cancelled because of a sailboat or something nearby. How silly, I thought. It's not like it's going to explode...

I think you would find that most iOS users are just as utilitarian. The vast majority of complaints you see on iOS app reviews concern functionality. If anyone, you should accuse Apple of being (overly?) concerned with aesthetics.

Clever idea, but I think I would prefer automatic doors and conveniently located motion-sensing sanitizer dispensers. And as much as I like embedded software, I don't think it's particularly useful or worthwhile in something like

I spent months of my freshman year highly anxious for similar first-world reasons. I excel at and enjoy lots of things and felt like school was making me commit to one field. I would spend days very inactive, stressing out about, for exampl

If the point of getting a forum site running on a Raspberry Pi is just for novelty & challenge, ignore this. But I think the most practical solution here is to forget the Raspberry Pi altogether or to set up the majority of processing a

I bet this is part of the reason most people are not independent & creative thinkers. And I would bet that it also has something to do with why creative people often end up with mental health issues down the road. It's definitely e

Haha, I'm glad I'm not the only one who cringes at the sight of the iOS Safari share icon. My brain starts panicking a little while trying to decipher its meaning.
