   So you’ve never encountered a situation where going against the grain, even if for completely good reasons, fails? I know I’ve been in that place more than once. GP was only saying that going with the herd is most of the time a more success

   I also had the same experience, but not everyone has the same qualms about rejecting other's invitations. I know for a fact that I was considered rude for politely rejecting drinks when I decided against drinking, possibly cultural.

   Elon by himself is leveraging his fortune to try to influence politics as much. This can also destabilize a country.

   The experience is really seamless, mostly it just works… which IMO is nothing special as they mostly support installing the latest and maybe a couple of other versions, and software that requires weird stuff will likely be packaged in a sel

   I think that’s also an artificial limitation on the network side. I was able to get an eSim from mexico sent to me across the atlantic just with a whatsapp photo. The shitty part was that a friend had to go to the office and pretend to be m

   Let’s be real. Actions against climate change are even more inconvenient than a road blockade; if certain kind of people are inconvenienced enough because of this, what makes anyone think they are sympathetic to the cause? Combating climate

   I know that this comment will seem as pro china, but really your comment is really weird and almost funny. The way you portray the two perspectives sounds like a good Chinese government action being spun like a bad thing because actually &q

    Mexican people also jokingly say stupid shit like you have to act gay 5 mins to avoid it the gayness to accumulate. I put the joke about black labels being a taste rank on the same “stupid things people say” bucket.

    Not OP, but I can describe a similar experience. Still feels better than brand new $current-year non m1 laptops.

    Does it really matter? I mean we did had deadly pandemics before biolabs were a thing. Other than blaming China because that’s what Americans want to do now, I haven’t heard anything interesting about what to do if the lab leak hypotheses i

    I’m concerned about this ideas about weakness and helplessness. I mean, if we look at history, we can see that these “resourceful” people were often malnourished and victims of natural calamities, although we have a survivor bias as we can

    I don’t say they don’t work. I’m saying that the concept of mutual aid as described by Kropotkin, has not succeeded there. Please refrain to engage in sarcasm if your reading and context understanding is that poor.

    Feminist concerns aside, I don’t think mutual aid has really succeeded in a hard hierarchical society like these who are explicitly patriarchal, even if it appears like it does to external observers.

    I have a different reading of GP. It’s not that being an adult involves pain, but that growing up almost certainly involves pain; changes, uncertainty, giving up stuff, all of this causes pain. And I certainly agree that people seem to be a

    In my experience, it’s easier to understand everything as a single project with the mind map of flakes. Although it is as you mentioned that a lot of complexity is hidden and can bit you in the ass, like home manager not (necessarily) using

    I’m not claiming a lack of skill. I’m calling bullshit on the scenario where a distressed family member which is low key claiming you’re mishandling the patient is suddenly calmed when confronted by a doctor that is reading a script filled
