Really not good, maybe a 2 or 3. I'm not in debt or physically ill or anything but other than that I'm really struggling.

My life feels like it hasn't really started yet, but I'm in my late 20s already. Never been in a real relationship, never done anything meaningful in my life, I've always had friends but never really been close with anyone. I'm going back and forth between being intensely exhausted by work and just getting through the week, and then being really depressed and just trying to get through the weekend.

I feel like I've already missed out on so much of life, (living with extreme anxiety, living as the wrong gender, etc has kept me from most meaningful milestones in life) and I don't want to miss the rest of it, but I feel like that's what I'm doing every day. Part of me still believes that I can still do great things, and that I can love and be loved, but I'm too afraid and in too much pain to really change anything.

Well, that's the simplest explanation.

I found this one interesting but oddly sad to listen to. It can be hard sometimes to listen to a bunch of accomplished, passionate people happily talking about doing what they love

Well, I wasn't meaning to make the claim that the worst natural fiber is environmentally better than the best animal fiber. I definitely think sustainably farmed natural fibers are still better than using animals, although I am not an expert on the subject. Also not denying that wool clearly is a pretty good material in some ways.

Really, I'm coming at this from an ethical persplective - I don't think we should have livestock at all, and I don't think we should continue to breed domesticated sheep. Also, are they just being sheared, or also killed? (including the children)

And from a land use perspective, it could either be completely natural environment, or usable human space

I think that this sort of thing is way way better than the status quo, but it isn't quite what I would consider utopia

Or the panels could be on existing structures instead of taking up addional space, and we could get our fibers and food from plant sources instead of exploiting animals.

Although this is infinitely better than coal and factory farms.

I really like this.

I think most people have heard the "you need to work on yourself first" advice, which just feels unhelpful.

And I've always felt that people calling themselves "king" or "queen" is them being narcissistic.

But this advice nicely reframes both of those things into a really good mindset.

While I think a lot of people agree with you, this is a real unpopular opinion to me. I love capsule shapes and large radii. I like my ui to feel soft, not pointy. shrug

Rounded corners do create a lot of opportunity to implement it poorly, though. I see a lot of rounded corners that aren't concentric, or worse, are inconsistently rounded (For example, I'm extremely irritated by some US highway road signs where the border is rounded but the square corners are left on)

Or go full hydra and add two for each one that is removed

I think I agree with most of the comments in this thread, but I feel like your #2 is actually an unpopular opinion! I don't think I've interacted with a scrollbar in the past decade, and the only purpose is to see where on the page I am, which doesn't feel very important. (something like a pdf viewer where that matters should have a proper page preview anyway)

So I don't really need scrollbars at all, and I'm glad they aren't adding visual clutter.

(although I'm pretty sure you should be able to force scrollbars to be visble, at least on browsers)

Don't forget the year glasses! Although those peaked in the 2000s (with a resurgence in 2020)

 

The fediverse used to feel pretty anti-ai, but over the past month or two I've noticed a LOT of generated memes and images, and they tend to have positive votes.

Has there been a sudden culture shift here? Or is there a substantial percentage of people just unable to tell the difference anymore?
