When people have created a narrative that “white x y z men” are responsible for all the evil in the world (I’m exagerating, but you get my drift), it creates a very difficult situation when those people are facing some serious difficulties. The intellectually lazy thing to do in that case is to brush it off or minimize it, like in the ways you’ve described. And unfortunately, that’s the route those same people will take, since identity politics are intellectually lazy (and lacking compassion, but that’s another story).

The unfortunate part of it is that the right has taken advantage of that wide open flank, which is one main reasons we’re in this current clusterfuck.

In case anyone was thinking the same thing I was: no, it wasn’t a parasite, it was named that way due to its shape.

I literally read through the rules for the third time or something and couldn’t find “the rule”. Am I too stupid to read?

In Germany that’s called a hooker’s breakfast.

The page is here. Under “rate addendum number 7” you can find a pdf with the prices.

It can’t be said often enough: fuck Axel Springer.

This is pretty old, from the time he was arrested:

Sind leider nicht die ersten. VIA in Kanada hat es schon vor ca. Einem Jahr eingeführt.

Liebe DB, wehe ihr kopiert das.

It’s an announcement to stay as far away as possible from whoever said that. Might even call it negging.

I’m not saying it shouldn’t be safer. I would much rather see Amtrak there, in large part because of their safety record. What I’m saying is that Bright line is still safer than cars. So yes, ensure Bright line increases its safety standards, but it’s not a reason to argue against expansion of the Brightline network (unless, for instance, you want to argue for Amtrak expansion instead - then I would be on board), as it still is shifting people from a more dangerous to a safer mode of transit, even if there is plenty of room for improvement in that safer mode of transit.

The point of these next gen file systems aren’t raw performance, they are reliability, performance for specific cases, and reduced data usage. For example:

• Copy on Write means it’s very performant to create snapshots

• incremental backups are much quicker

• checksumming means the filesystem directly and reliably detects data corruption

• built-in support for raid means a simplified setup and integration of scrubbing features into the filesystem, which can then take advantage of checksumming etc.

• deduplication can automatically recognize duplicated data and as such reduce data use

These are things that tend to reduce performance, not increase it. Which is why, when performance on these filesystems stays the same or even increases, that’s a major accomplishment.

Ob Döner oder Drehspieß hat nur mit dem Fleischanteil zu tun. Hähnchendöner darf es nach wie vor geben. Also zumindest theoretisch machen sie da nichts falsch solange der Fleischanteil hoch genug ist.

Do you even know how many people are killed by cars each year? This is nothing compared to that. Most cases cited here are because people acted completely recklessly. The same can’t be said about many car accidents.

Ich möchte nicht wissen, wer ihn ersetzt. Bei dem aktuellen Druck von der Politik kann das nicht gut werden. Ich befürchte schon Mehdorn 2.0

Yup.

Legal experts agree, a sale to The Onion is more likely now that Infowars’ fate has shifted to Texas state court.

Yup, I saw that one as well after I left this comment. It showed really well not only that this is the largest number of journalists killed in such a conflict, but by really, really far. And did it in a way that shocked even me.

You don’t have to apologize for “therapy speak” - this is off my chest, after all. And it seems, it needed to get out, you needed to tell someone, you wanted to be heard. And that is completely legitimate. In fact, it’s a step in the right direction - you’ve come from bottling it up to telling someone - even if it’s “just” on the internet. It’s a important step forward.

What you’re feeling is entirely justified. What happened to you is unacceptable, and high blood pressure or whatever else is no excuse. Most importantly, it’s not your fault. You had a right to a proper childhood.

I don’t know how the healthcare situation is where you live, but I would recommend looking into therapy. It’s not an overnight cure, give it plenty of time - I mean, years. It will be worth it.

Also, I don’t know if you still live with your mother - if you do, I would be sure to move out. Find an apprenticeship you like, find an interesting job, an interesting field of study, something that gets you amount like minded people. Maybe there are some programming related jobs around? If you already have a history on whichever git platform, that can look great on a resume.

Sending you a hug from the other side of the internet. It’s going to be OK.

P.S. Many adults don’t really feel much like adults, either. You’re in good company.

I watched that segment. I remember them saying very clearly that Israel didn’t allow them to film it. So you know what they did? They showed footage from the ground, and didn’t mince words as to how horrific things were. They showed the landscape, where barely anything is standing. They showed people digging through the ground looking for spilled kernels. There was absolutely no way you could watch that report and not understand the insanity of what is going on there.

In fact, anyone who follows CBC’s news coverage has no reason to not understand the depths of the horrors happening in Gaza, or in Palestine in general. They don’t shove it into the corner. They place it center stage. Again, and again, and again. As if to say, “don’t forget what is happening here”.

The CBC definitely has its faults, but this article is blowing things way, way out of proportion.
