This does work for some people, but my experience was that having my livelihood depend on my passion completely killed my passion.

District attorney's quote in the LA Times article this one sources:

Arson to me is a real head-scratcher. I do not understand ... somebody who is suspected of arson does something where they get no value out of it

He's only got half of the equation here. People generally don't premeditate actions when they expect to lose more than they'll get out of it. This story is so sad when you realize that this guy got to the point where he concluded prison couldn't be any worse. I don't think that just manifests out of thin air overnight after a couple hard days.

Like 5-10 years ago there was a "subreddit simulator" which would generate fake reddit posts generated from specific subreddits. It was almost entirely garbage, but that time the /r/askreddit simulator posted "Redditors of reddit, what's the biggest mistake my mom makes in bed?" probably justified that whole endeavor. Such a perfect encapsulation of the content.

idk posting "ai;dr" as a reply is not functionally different from posting "ai" other than needing three more characters to type.

If either party actually disagreed on principle, we would have heard someone criticize the war on principle and not on breaking procedural norms or not planning the war well enough. Virtually every critique I have seen from elected officials, at least before this explicitly genocidal statement here, is some form of those two. "This war was poorly planned" is only a sidenote observation from someone actually opposed to a war of aggression. It's the most milquetoast opposition you can give to claim you were always against it when things go wrong. No way in hell am I going to accept that they were powerless to stop him when no one will even clearly lay out the actual reasons why this is wrong.

We know that actions speak louder than words, but if we want to give anyone else in our government the benefit of the doubt we're gonna have to figure out what comes next after words.

Yes someone needs to warn the Iranians that this administration doesn't always negotiate in good faith, they're clearly not aware of that possibility.

Officers now have to decide whether or not to commit war crimes? Wow, that is a dilemma, I wouldn't want to be forced to make that decision. This article does a really good job humanizing their struggle, you can't help but feel bad for them.

I beat the demo before getting the actual game, the demo was just levels 1, 2, and 10. When you beat the demo it gives you a code to skip to level 11 in the full version. I ended up beating the game after using the code, but I could never beat level 3, so I never even got to play levels 4 through 9.

Actually yes, people being crushed under inescapable debt should get to enjoy things sometimes.

You're right, it is.

You can try all you want, but you will never get me to read the articles before commenting.

99.9% of people using WINE/Proton aren’t going to have any idea what fsync is

Speaking, although I've heard the term thrown around a lot. Can I get a layman's overview?

A friend once texted me that she really liked my writing and said "It sounds like you", with "sounds" italicized. It was like she was just focusing on my writing and hadn't even thought through that using "like you" as unambiguously complimentary is a bigger compliment towards me than towards my writing.
