I don't think anyone ever said anything about it being convenient. I'm pretty sure I specifically said it was bad just not as bad as it could be.

We could address that more, but we're going to come back to "Its not the 60s". What you're saying is not substantially different from saying the Elves had it better before they left Valinor. Probably true but my friend, it doesn't really apply. I think you may be succumbing to nostalgia too, one of my favorite youtube creators once described nostalgia as a form of depression and I'm not sure I've ever felt a deeper kinship with some random dude online.

Even then, I feel like you've vastly misrepresented the 60s, what do you even think hippie culture was? That was a dedication to changing yourself and the way you lived DRASTICALLY, it was nothing but change and the community was built to try to thrive on an ever shifting background. It was defined almost entirely by all the things you said you don't want to do.

The world is not going to change to your liking because you're pursuing a lifestyle dedicated to avoiding that outcome and you aren't going to be happy anywhere until you change that. The problem isn't the world, it is your approach to it and the fact that you're letting depression control your life instead of trying to make rational decisions.

I had an opportunity to play with one for 10 minutes or so once, and my exposure was super limited, but it didn't immediately feel like it was better than options that were only a few hundred bucks all in.

Could show increasing value long term maybe and I wouldn't say it's a bad product but I couldn't see enough to justify getting one with the other cheaper and potentially better options out there.

The gambling odds have started to show a significantly better chance for Kamala winning than Biden now, it's an interesting shift.

And, those odds aren't odds that only take affect if she is made the nominee, there's no prerequisites there, it's generic odds of just Kamala running and winning the election period.

I'm pessimistic and hope I'm wrong, but I think we might be underestimating the pull of racism/sexism that still exists.

I feel like if we put Kamala at the top of the ticket, she'd need a really strong and 'traditional' running mate. Like, this guys got to be the straightest, whitest and richest guy you've ever seen. I kinda feel like they've been exploring that with a lot of top democratic people meeting with Biden lately.

Yeah, it's like... no shit, few of us expect Democrats to lose the popular vote unless our guy does something like bribes a pornstar or commits fraud or something.

This is like when someone tells a depressed person 'just dont be sad' but I've had tinnitus for over a decade, mine could potentially be minor.

Dedicating a good amount of time to telling myself over and over that the noise didn't exist in my head really helped my ability to deal with it. I don't ever think about it or notice it unless someone says the word tinnitus and my brain keys in on it. If you haven't heard about it before, the drumming on the back of your skill trick is also a real (if very temporary) fix for me and a lot of other people I've talked to.

I love this link.

Considering it's coming up pretty close to being a century old, I'm actually surprised how much of this has made it into the common lexicon.

I feel like even the etymology on capped could be interesting and maybe share a common source with modern cap.

She mostly successfully pivoted to legit work.

She had a few non-adult movies and she's a columnist with Slate now.

I see where your head is at here, but it sounds like you're focusing on containerized items. A lot of people are going to look at you real weird if you think of scaling down a container as equivalent to shutting down a server. We can all see where your mind is going and there is logic there, but it's more akin to closing chrome when you're not using it than it is to shutting down the computer running chrome.

There's been a push for decades that everyone should be respectful and peaceful and not bother anyone when they protest in any way. The entire country forgetting how we've accomplished almost every major societal change.
