Average life spans. People in ancient times didn't drop dead at forty. They regularly lived to be advanced ages we would consider normal. It's just that infant and young child deaths were so common it really drags down the average.

That's a really long article to say that the pig was high on duty and died as a result. Everybody knows that fentanyl exposure syndrome is BS but they still can't help but imply the fuck out of it.

When citizens OD and crash, they're treated like the deadly menace that they are. Pigs are protected by fairy tales and moonbeams.

I can not be created, only confirmed.

Watching Youtube videos. It's as good as college for anyone with a little savvy. I'll bet that Youtube employs more PHD philosophers than any three universities.

Turf grass. It's the stupidest crop ever cultivated by humanity.

Lawns are an 17th century European fashion trend. We poison the soil with herbicides to defend grass. We poison the water with fertilizers to feed grass. Many US households through HOAs or zoning regulations are legally required to cultivate and martian grass. Grass doesn't feed anyone, except the insects that die soon afterwards from all the poison.

Maybe your looking for "toxic-positivity"?

It's the type of mindset where everything must be positive, even if that means discounting or ignoring negative feelings, bad behavior, and bad situations.

This is a recognized psychological phenomena and can range from normal "keep your chin up" type stuff to full blown "FUD will not be tolerated" cult type stuff

There are telegraphs with higher bandwidth than this thing.

SciShow is good people making science content aimed at a general audience.

I don't understand all the friction Gnome gets. Yes, I'm satisfied with everything default on the Debian/ Fedora Workstation. That's because the DE get's the hell out of my way and most everything can be easily managed without touching the mouse.

Those two things alone are so important to me, and such an improvement over Windows, that I've just never gotten around to trying other DE seriously.

Audiophiles get a lot of friction, but this kind of person exists in almost any hobby. People fascinated by equipment and ascetics who loose the plot about what their hobby is all about.
