Next year we will be further from 2000 than Nixons presidency.

Don’t worry. People born in 19xx also only look like adults.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When Allah drowned Fir’awn [Pharaoh of Egypt as he was pursuing Moses and the people of Benny Israel] he said: ‘I believe that there is no god except the One that the children of Isra’il believe in.’ So Jibrail [The Angel Gabriel] said: ‘O Muhammad! If you could only have seen me, while I was taking (the mud) from the sea, and filling his mouth out of fear that the mercy would reach him.’

According to Islam no-one is beyond achieving forgiveness if they sincerely repent as the mercy and forgiveness of God is limitless. However except for explicitly mentioned people such as the Prophets, we do not know who achieves Paradise and who is punished in Hell until the day of judgement. Not even the Angels closest to God know.

I broke xorg.conf when i installed Linux Mint about a year ago, but i forgot what for. Ironically i never had issues with an Arch based distro.

It was quite funny when the candidate race started and Trump wasn’t rerunning yet and the FBI raided Mar a Lago for the stolen files. The sentiment was usually something along the lines of

“yeah Trump was not perfect and we always said this and we of course always let the authorities do their job, but also they should raid Biden and if Trump is convicted he is not a good president, but there is candidate x,y that is totally amazing.”

Sometimes i wonder how much of it are just shills, how much it is people who suffer form serious cognitive issues and how much it is people who are aware but fine with lying to themselves constantly.

There is also people who just hang on their phone all day or gossip in the kitchen. I have seen that in the best and in the worst working conditions.

There is good reason, why the principle “same pay for same work” usually does not include surveillance of productivity. But it does feel infuriating to not make 3x as much despite having 3x the productivity of some people that have a similar or even higher salary thanks to seniority, when i am basically financing their lack of productivity.

I agree that the term “laziness” is often used by management to shift blame onto the workers and i don’t know how a solution could look like that would address real laziness without infringing on workers rights.

If the service is advertised as no data limit, aka “take as man woodchips as you like” they shouldn’t track back on it.

That is if the other parties aren’t largely complicit. Looking at you Germany, Denmark, France, Finland, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Poland, Hungary…

Depends on the age group imo.

I think the people who experienced internet from ca. 2005-2015 will have the best English on average. Because in this time English was simply necessary to get a grip on a lot of media, games, websites… Now a lot of things are translated, sometimes by force (youtube, reddit…) and with bad auto-translation. Also German content creators became much more widespread since 2015, so now people might never need to look past their language horizon.

Of course the dates and statements aren’t absolutes, just general observations.

If you are diving the first comes in very practically.

Bro, your institutions are captured. Yes they run society still, but they run it against the people who are supposedly to be protected by them. This is why fascist takeovers start with the institutions and then the institutions keep running, giving formal “legitimacy” to the crimes of the fascists. Nazi Germany did everything legal in Nazi Germany. Opposing Nazi Germany was criminal in Nazi Germany and against the institutions of Nazi Germany. But it was the right fucking thing to do.

I hope more hardware manufactures offer to ship without a windows license. It is cheaper for everyone and people have less hassle installing an OS of their choice on the device.

Everyone should read 1984.

It is not logical to take Christianity as a representation of all other religions.

For a debate about similarities and differences between the Abrahamic religions i can recommend to have a look at this informative and entertaining Panel.

Jews and Muslims also think many Christian concepts to be illogical, especially the concept of Trinity or Jesus as son of God, which we see in contradiction to the oneness of God.

I doubt that to be a serious concern for companies. Especially with how marketing regularly revolves around sexualizing their messages and how things like hostesses are a thing at many trade-fairs. The CEO of NVIDIA signed a boob ffs.

Also the only time i came across the term gimp was in Pulp Fiction. If it wasn’t for that movie i wouldn’t know that it has something to do with BDSM.

But really, what are things why GIMP is rationally not suitable for industry work? Is it a lack of certain features? Is it performance? Is it an impossible to learn UI? Because in your other reply all i read was that people who are used to PS just stick with it, because that is what they are used to. Which then brings us to exactly what the meme is criticizing.

And at the monthly pricing of Adobe that switching costs only justify themselves for so long. Also a friend of mine who does photo and video stuff for weddings and events as a side-gig has been furious how having to have Win11 to use Adobe cost him 5k because his old computer was not compatible anymore.

So i am curious to understand, if there is rational reasons, why taking the shit from Adobe is worth it. Of course if certain standard workflows take 1 minute in PS and 2 minutes in GIMP that adds up over a full time job. On the other hand if professional users were to support the open source development, these issues could be addressed, creating value for everyone except Adobe.

I don’t do graphic design and only use GIMP for making memes. Could you give a few pointers, why GIMP is not usable compared to photoshop?

On what basis comes the conclusion that there is no architect behind it?

Do students in elementary school understand why they have all the subjects? Do students in secondary school understand yet, that if they want to pursue higher education as an engineer they need good math and physics? Do students who prefer the humanities yet understand the focus of studies such as sociology vs. anthropology vs. ethnology? Does me as an engineer not understanding why i had to learn how to analyze poems in grade 7-10 invalidate the necessity of that education for someone who later studied linguistics and literature?

Us not being able to comprehend an architecture does not mean it is not there. In the same way, before there were microscopes bacteria still existed, even though many early proponents of there being small life forms that would cause diseases were ridiculed.

Opposing religion is not scientific. Any good scientist understands the limits of his knowledge. Opposing religion is a matter of faith just as embracing religion is a matter of faith.

Things feel weird, strange or unnatural because they go against instinctive feelings.

As for why they are more likely to go wrong it is quite simple. Two teenagers are more trouble than one teenager. Especially if they are in competition with each other. Jealousy is a key driver for violence and young men are the demographic generally most violent. These are things that you know subconsciously, as you have most likely experienced them yourself. As for negative experience with men and in particular men seeking sexual contact i think every women will be able to confirm danger and or having experienced abuse themselves. Now you have two rabbit-horny high on testosterone teenagers that have to “share” one teenage girl. This should cause an instinctive negative reaction by every parent.

As for studies which analyzed the situation where one men has multiple women concluded that these relationships negatively affect the women and their children psychologically.

Now this of course is different compared to a situation where one women has multiple men. A situation which seems to be much less prevalent and i couldnt find studies on quickly. As to why they are much less prevalent, this gives reason for even more worry. There is reason to believe them to be less stable and likely end up with violence, where women on average a physically much less stronger than men.
