Als I hate this doubly for the kid. Your mom getting arrested for your slightest sign of independence will fuck you up.

This so much. So much bullshit is being done to "protect children" and it actually hurts them.

"Women should consider that their choices about their bodies might frustrate men"

I'm reading when I'm traveling longish distances by train. Which isn't often but it makes the rides way better. Currently I'm reading up on some political/economical stuff.

I'm out of university for ~3 years and I noticed I have regained my appetite for learning new stuff. So I'm reading stuff that I want to know more about.

I tried to have a more regular routine of reading but similar to you it made me read less because it felt like a chore. And I realized that it's for entertainment and personal growth, which I'm fine with going at its own pace.

I never got how people read more than one book at once but if it works for you that's great! I feel like I'd just forget what the other books are about while I read one of them.

I think that is a bit disingenuous. They apparently asked for passports to find Israelis not just any Jews. As deplorable as this still is, it's different from "any Jews".

Also: If russian hools started to openly endorse the war against Ukraine in a region where a lot of Ukrainian refugees are located I would absolutely advise caution for every russian visitor in that region no matter their stance and especially if they want to express their fandom to the same football team as those hools.

The effect seems to be even bigger than the one following the economic crisis of 2007/8 which surprises me. Did the opposition suddenly get better at blaming?

Imagine putin started setting his trolls on the agenda of whatever kompromat they have on trump. I imagine it's a lot. That would definitely make trump mad. First and foremost he protects his ego.

I'm not sure if that's how posting things to the public works. Optics will always be a part of that.

That's only helpful if you feel like there have actually been improvements over the last few years/decades.

A lot of people feel like crime is constantly rising, morals in general are not being valued anymore and that the economy is constantly in decline. Mixed with a widespread believe that most politicians are bought anyways.

These feelings aren't rooted in facts but they are there and they make it difficult to simultaneously believe in gradual improvement.

Isn't there value in niche projects? If we just had freebsd it wouldn't cover all the usecases there are and it shouldn't. Niche usecases sometimes need niche software

Yeah I only just saw the times on the graph of OP. That's strange indeed.

I just wanted to say, if I planned to retire then that would have been f'ing scary. It played out ok in the end. But trusting that when literally your life's savings are at stake is a big ask

I'm curious, doesn't WhatsApp require a phone number to be attached to an account? As in, I thought activating it doesn't work on devices without a SIM card?
