    Why shouldn’t people use windows?

    You can’t expect the average person to be tech savvy enough to use Linux and most people cannot afford a Mac. Especially in developing countries.

    Windows is the best OS for the average person. Just not for advanced users such as researchers

    people figure out the system

    Only tech savvy people figure out how to go around this system. Roughly 80% ~ 90% of consumers will not realize what’s happening or won’t bother figuring out a solution.

    Hell, even if only 10% of the consumers paid a slightly higher price the company still earns more by buying your data.

    Statistics are on the side of the company. Buying consumer data is always the best strategy for them. The only thing that can limit abuse of privacy and consumer rights is government regulation.


  • So you’re saying that everyone that dislikes anime “just doesn’t get it” ? That’s a pretty silly take.

    I’ve watched about 100 different shows and all kinds of anime genres over many years but I stopped because I can’t do it anymore

    Most Anime shows suffer from the same issues. Personally The 2 most difficult things to deal with in are:

    - Incredibly frustrating dialogue

    I hate how characters speak in an extremely unrealistic and cringy way. It throws me off every time and I can’t connect with the characters. It doesn’t need to be realistic dialogue of course. I just think that anime is very far removed from acceptable dialogue, even for a show

    - Shows never go beyond their basic tropes

    Edgy anime is edgy and then nothing else. Every slice of life is just that and nothing else. Everything is extremely formulaic and you’re just left with the characters. And the characters are unidimensional. Please add some substance to the plot. Create more human and imperfect characters. Every character represents a trope and has no more nuance than that. The clumsy character is just clumsy. The bully character is just a bully. The main character is either the smartest or the most powerful being in the universe. EVERY TIME.

    Seinen anime is a bit better regarding this last point. but it’s still too much. I can’t sit through an episode without cringing several times. Especially over the dialogue









  • The 7 deadly sins are never mentioned in the bible. They were discussed by a few different people but made popular by Pope Gregory 1st in 590 AD. So therefore are an invention of the church and need to be taken with a grain of salt.

    Pride especially is the most stupid one. Should Jhonny not be proud of his skills? Should one not be proud of anything to be able to go into heaven? If you earn a gold medal at a sport would you go to hell for saying that you were the best athlete?

    And can we be sure that Jhonny accepted the bet because of greed for the fiddle? Could it not be necessity? Could it not be convenience or simply confidence in his skills?

    Ultimately it’s just a story created for a song so the specifics don’t matter.

    The point I’m making is that the 7 deadly sins are stupid and people should stop referencing them



  • What’s to see?

    I wish people would see past the idea that millionaires are evil people (and yeah they are), and understand that the root of this issue is on the economic/governmental system that allows people to hoard this much wealth

    Yes it’s dystopian as fuck how much money he’s able to make. But that’s not a result of him being evil or something. That’s a result of how the advertisement Industry works.

    He’s just a guy that mastered the YouTube game and is doing what he’s good at. He could retire or take a more relaxed work routine and still be a millionaire. But he works a lot to make more YouTube content because he likes it.

    I don’t like Mr. Beast. But don’t think he’s doing anything unethical




  • I’m sorry that you had a bad experience with your psychologist.

    If I can point out one thing that might help you is that these thoughts largely come from an evolutionary trait called Negative Bias

    Negative Bias is the disproportionate focus on bad events and/or memories compared to good events.

    It applies to a large range of memories and our ability to perceive danger. Evolutionary it makes sense because our embarrassing memories makes us afraid or unwilling to behave in a way that the social group doesn’t like.

    You can imagine when humans lived in societies in small groups of 30 people, that disrespecting someone could get you kicked out of the group and potentially starve to death in the wild. So there is a very strong evolutionary pressure that made your brain evolve to avoid repeating bad scenarios

    Your constant embarrassing, sad, or traumatic memories are your brain reminding you over and over not to be in that situation again.

    Unfortunately your brain didn’t evolve to be happy. It evolved to survive.

    All I wanted to explain is that these memories are not your fault. Don’t feel like you’re any different because you have bad memories constantly. Accept that your brain will do what it is programmed to do and learn how to work around those tendencies.

    And I could recommend trying another psychologist. I’m also available to chat if you’d like. Cheers 🙂


  • That’s a great comment. I go though basically the same steps with my constant flow of embarrassing and/or sad memories

    If they’re useful then maybe I should explore this thought for a little longer, or try to speak with someone

    If I have nothing to gain from it and it’s just making me cringe or sad I try to do something else to distract myself

    It’s important to not shut these memories down immediately. Some memories really need to be explored in order for you to properly leave them in the past. And you can bottle up a bunch of emotions if you refuse to think about thoughts that come to you constantly.

    The context doesn’t make a difference

    In base 10 --> 1/3 is 0.333…

    In base 12 --> 1/3 is 0.4

    But they’re both the same number.

    Base 10 simply is not capable of displaying it in a concise format. We could say that this is a notation issue. No notation is perfect. Base 10 has some confusing implications
