Cancer is my worst fear and has also killed so many of my family and loved ones. It's a slow painful death where you get progressively weaker. I really do hope there is some light at the end of the tunnel there.

It is indeed livable, you just may not be able to conceive how it is so. Contrary to what many think, nihilism is not just the assertion that reality lacks meaning, but a philosophy based around the implications of such a reality. To parap

That's true. I spent a few years trying to make it as a dance music producer, and I was constantly working my butt off writing music and doing sound design. My work was never even close to being good enough because you really do have t

Many American police have authority complexes and take any indignation as a front to their existence. There's also the whole 'not held accountable for their crimes' aspect which I suspect contributes to the lack of trust betw

Companies don't really deserve praise, practically ever because their motives are ultimately guided by profits. They only act in the interest of revenue. Sometimes those interests align with the employees, but let's not pretend th

Most american voters have a phobia of government.

That's a good perspective. I drifted away from pomodoro's precisely because I found the intervals too be a bit too rigid and the breaks occurred when I'd be in the middle of something. Instead using one or more as a bootstrap

Nearly all companies "steal" from their employees. If the company makes any profit whatsoever, that is surplus value which has not been paid to the employees who generated it.

Helm is awesome!! U-He makes a bunch of great quality instruments, another one that is really spectacular is Zebra. It also runs on linux! Which is more or less a desert when it comes to interesting audio plugins.

With good reason, the last medication my psych gave me left me with liver damage.

Psychiatrists are basically drug gatekeepers. They don't really listen to your problems, they just try to infer what medication is best for you (in a 10 min window) depending on how you act.

How do you reconcile that when using a proxy to search, like DDG with the `g!` flag?

I've noticed this and wonder why it is... Maybe developers /engineers are prone to seeking out, trying to identify constraints?

Speaking as a vegan, veg protein powder is very convenient compared to always having to include alt-meats and protein rich foods (like soy, tvp or vital wheat gluten) in my meals. For breakfast I get 30g to start my day with, it's nice

How would you describe practicing 'art' of learning a codebase? Surely there's a more efficient way than to just stare it down for weeks on end.
