Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

I've now been trying for weeks, I've pored over documentation, I even tried reviewing the code, but I can r figure it out.... How do you enable post translation? I've even got a libre translate instance but I just can't figure it out.

Oh, good. That key Intel of what's over the Atlantic ocean is protected.

This'll sound strange, but I always felt like people who got into computers later didn't really know computers. It's like, go back and deal with the fickleness, of having to deal with drivers and irqs and dmas directly, of having to deeply care about exactly which hardware you had. With later versions of windows all that got abstracted away.

Someone who only ever grew up with ide never experienced calibrating a hard drive. Imagine that!!!

One thing friendica supports that nothing else does as far as I know is rss feeds. One of the features I really miss from that platform.

Same here. I'm following a bunch of people who I might have some strong disagreements with on really important things, but nonetheless I respect them because they have interesting things to say.

How arrogant must someone be to think they've got all the answers and anyone who disagrees isn't just wrong, but so wrong they're irredeemably evil?

The big defederators out there, the instances with the biggest block lists, often they aren't even just defederating based on disagreements, they're also disagreeing based on association. Just refusing to silence wrongthinkers is enough to be cast out with them.

That's not the sort of world I want to live in.

Because if they knew what they were doing they probably wouldn't have ended up in customer facing it.

They don't even realize that not being able to tolerate any viewpoints not exactly like your own doesn't make you a good person...

Something people from further south don't understand is that when the temperature gets cold enough, you start seeing the reaper just walking from your house to your car, or from your car to the store.

It wasn't the coldest this week, but the wind was brutal. I saw the reaper.

The concept of wearing a belt in space so your pants don't fall down feels foreign to me.

>tfw no cute quirky gf to hang out with my wife and son and I
Feels bad, man.

How a society built on science and technology can rely on a philosophy that says there's no such thing as objective truth is absurd. Some truth may be fuzzier than others, but of course there are objective truths, and if anyone thinks that's not the case, go wrestle some wild lions and bears -- It doesn't matter what your opinion on the matter is, you're gonna die because they're bigger and stronger than you.

Fact check: Mostly False

While it is true that he embezzled money and spent it on hookers then took the best 1990s hooker for himself, and snopes does consist of that guy and a 90s hooker (probably, how the fuck would I know?), the ex wife probably took the cat.

Surprised to see the cuck media posting something like this, since they're all sucking off his teet.

In the 11th century, the song dynasty lost northern china to the Liao people despite outnumbering them in population 100 to 1. Instead of reforming their military they say in the capital writing poetry about how great it would be if they could only win. At the same time, Muslims from modern-day Afghanistan invaded modern-day India. The Indians outnumbered them in population by 100 to 1, but instead of improving their military they built nicer temples to the gods so they could be granted victory.

Making videos about how great apprenticeships are to get more people into apprenticeships instead of actually do something to make more apprenticeships feels extremely similar.

Every time I see something like this, I get so incredibly pissed off.

Imagine how offensive this is to all the kids who want an apprenticeship and can't get one because there are none. Pretty much everyone in my generation has to go to college, that's how you get your apprenticeship. And these Ivory Tower morons don't realize that.

"earn while you learn" how about stop lying?

Maybe instead of handing all this money to filmmakers to make movies about how great being an apprentice would be they use it to try to create some apprenticeships? Most places aren't approaching labor crisis, they're there. And nobody is doing anything about it but making movies about how great it would be if people were employed in jobs that don't exist.

One problem is that there's a lot of politics tied to such job postings. For example, a company might want to have a US IT job posting stay unfilled so they can bring in an H1B.

Back in the day we had Newtonian physics and we liked it! Quantum mechanics is degeneracy! Go to hell with your insane quantum nonsense and give us back our clockwork universe!
