It’s worth reading, because it’s very factual, as in, they don’t inject any particular viewpoint or opinion into the writing, unlike some other outlets. Whether or not they chose to report on certain events over others due to bias, I do not know.
I remember them being wrong one time point though, because they reported on something chaotic that had just happened or was still happening where details were unclear.

The company is probably going to charge their customers even more for the work you do in your working time.
Someone already pays that money. The workers just don’t receive it.
If everybody was self-employed, those are the prices that would be paid.

I’ve tried a few different distributions and yeah, it varies.
It seems logical to get Ubuntu Studio for audio, but in my personal opinion it’s kinda bloated. I’ve tried most of the included software at some point and decided that I’m not going to use it.
I’d rather have a clean simple distro and then just install Reaper for all my audio needs.
That has worked out great on both Mint and Puppy. I don’t know about Ubuntu, because it’s been several years since I tried that.
I did also install a few games on Mint, but nothing like AAA games, because the PC doesn’t have a graphics card. I just play Minecraft and Sauerbraten. No issues with those.
Maybe I’m lucky, or maybe it’s because it’s old hardware or pretty standard laptops, but I’m also not trying much, so I also expect it to work.
Keep it simple. I think that might be the key, because I have seriously not had a single issue with anything, nor have I typed a single line in the terminal.
If I needed a multipurpose PC, I’d probably go with Mint as of now. I’d install one app at a time and figure out what I actual need instead of trying to make everything work at once.
That’s what I’m doing with my DAW right now. One plugin at a time. If something doesn’t behave, then I don’t need it. When I turn on the PC to make music, I don’t want to waste time fixing stuff. I’m totally over trying to fit a square block into a round hole. I’ve already tried that for too many years using Windows.
They’ll learn the lesson of a break up just like anyone else. They’ll get over it and eventually find another chatbot.
It might even prepare them somewhat for IRL relationships. Things do not always work out and you can’t count on the other part to always do as expected.
It could actually be interesting to give these bots less than ideal personalities just to teach the users how to interact with actual people. With some caution though, because I can definitely see that go really bad too.

I’m going to report you to the fashion police.
I once lost my glasses and used an ordinary drinking glass as a monocle as substitute. It wasn’t perfect, but good enough for me to find my glasses. (This was before cell phones had cameras).
Having been very near sighted for most of my life, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not really that big of a handicap. It’s mostly an issue for reading things, and even that can be done when putting it close enough.
I can’t really think of anything in a hypothetical apocalypse where 20/20 vision would be absolutely necessary.
what difference does it make if it’s through a web browser on the work desktop or my personal tablet.
Yeah what difference does it make? Why don’t you use your own device?
I really don’t feel the need to identify myself as any sort of -ism.
What matters more to me is how you act. It doesn’t matter if someone identifies as a feminist if they don’t act like one.
I think I do, but I’m probably not the best to evaluate my own behavior.
Anyway, since we’re on the topic, it recently came to my attention that most top charts for media like music, films and online content is absolutely dominated by men. For no particular reason, it’s just what people consume. I wonder why. Coming from a place that is seemingly more equal than most of the world, I’m surprised that the people here, even the women, are still consuming more content made by men than by women. So I set out to change my own consumption. Looking through my YouTube subscriptions I found that I myself was watching only content from men, so I started subscribing to more women doing content within my usual interests. I mean, I’m not looking for women doing things because they’re women, but rather women doing things that everyone might do, but they just happen to be women. It’s difficult. It feels like fighting against the algorithms just to find it, and I gotta say, a lot of the content made by women is still trying to get subscriptions based on the idea that everyone on the internet is a man. Seriously, women. When I’m searching for geeky stuff I’m not going to subscribe to your ass or breasts. Take that shit to OnlyFans or whatever. I actually want to hear or watch the topic from your perspective. And seriously, men… please behave. It’s so fucking cringe to read your lustful comments anytime a smart women dares present her face in any of the serious channels. I definitely understand why women upload less content if that’s the feedback they get.
Well, I did manage to find some channels worth subscribing to, and at the moment I’m probably up to a third of my subscriptions being from women. I don’t think I can push it much further without having to watch things that I have no interest in or which conflicts with any of my already mentioned points. I’ll also have to acknowledge that there are differences in what topics interests men and women enough to post about or consume.
However, finally, I would suggest anyone who ever searches for something to sometimes get the woman to explain it to you instead of choosing the man every time.
Maybe that would be funny of it was somebody else.

They just make a bank transfer. The real issue is the taxation.
Every country has a threshold for how much someone can receive without paying taxes.
I stopped bothering to personalize my phones, because they don’t feel personal. They’re just disposable tools.
I see a lot of people having sink plungers next to their toilets. That might work for some things, but they might as well be using any other object.
When a pipe is clogged it’s basically impossible to push anything through. It’s stuck for a reason. The pushing motion might compress the clog somewhat, but it’s really the pulling which causes it to move backwards and hopefully unclog it. This usually requires a plunger that actually seals the opening, or you’ll have to push and pull until the water itself gets in motion to pull back the clog.
Another trick for unclogging toilets is to fill a bucket of water and pour it in a steady stream from as high as you can reach. Obviously start pouring from the seat and then lift the bucket while pouring. The gravity from the height will create a very strong narrow stream with enough force to pierce through or wash back the clog.
Shibuya Sky is a must see. You’ll need to buy tickets in advance to guarantee that you can get up there.
I’d also recommend the art exhibition/experience called Team Labs. It’s difficult to explain what it is, but I believe anyone of any age would enjoy it. https://www.teamlab.art/e/planets/ Make sure to get tickets in advance and be on time.
That’s really the key for everything. There’s always a lot of people in Tokyo, and all of them have to eat, so if you want anything that is not McDonald’s you’ll need to reserve a table. It’s not super difficult to get, but you just need to book in advance.
Now that is something I’ve never thought about before and also wish I hadn’t read.
Anyway, I googled it, and hemorrhoids are actually not necessarily open wounds, and if they are, at least the blood is flowing outwards which might hinder the bacteria from getting into the blood stream. The bacteria from the asshole doesn’t survive well outside the intestines, so there’s a low risk of them crawling back up into an open wound.
However it does happen, and that could cause blood poisoning, which is potentially lethal if untreated. You’d probably want to treat it though because you’d experience severe fever and other clear signs.
I’ll achieve this knowledge in the “don’t worry about it” folder.
