Anyone else with a variable place on the scale? I’m 3 normally but can go up to 1 on a limited scope in short bursts with effort.
It’s like my brain has a limited rendering throughput so it’s either a low quality version of the entire object, or a small high quality zoomed in section
Hm, water elementals do offer a lot of … possibilities. Lubrication might be a problem though because of all the water
Well if there’s a choice - social club. What’s even the point of having a job if you work all day just to survive and then try to squeeze socializing in the little time that remains until you need to sleep
Net positive to the world by a lot.
His fight for software freedom was essential for shaping technology in the last couple of decades. Basically any software today is based on open source directly or indirectly.
Don’t listen to him about child psychology though
It mimics the official one perfectly
All of them. Beliefs are what makes a person good/bad. Any bad actions come from those bad beliefs, but belief must exist first.
Let me give a very simplistic example. Most of us agree that murder is bad. In order for someone to commit murder they must first believe there are some cases where killing another person is justified or even desirable specifically for them. And not commonly agreed on ones like self-defense.
We even encode this difference in laws. Killing with intention is called “murder”, while if it’s done unintentionally it’s a lesser change of “manslaughter”. Belief is what decides severity of the action.
Remember when Citroen was the leader in design and technology. Pepperidge farm remembers

This way of phrasing it is very bad. The idea of golden rule is to consider others as equal to yourself, and award them the same benefit of the doubt you would want others to give you before judging you.
It doesn’t really cover the cases if someone is actively malicious towards you. It’s basically outside of the scope of this rule.
In any way it’s too flawed as a base for further developing a moral system. I recommend to look into the idea of Original position or “veil of ignorance” for a different approach to the same problem.
Why they insist on original stories: They don’t see black and white people as same and interchangeable, but as fundamentally different and separate.
Why they still complain: They don’t want black people to be protagonists, this makes black people appear human, can’t have that.
(north-east of Spain) After 2 years of insufferable heat and drought, we finally have a nice summer. Still hot and sunny but not too hot, with occasional rain. I haven’t even used AC yet this year. I hope this continues
Tone. Use Firefox/Linux/whatever posts also get downvoted when they are to preachy.
Wrong: “If you use Windows/eat meat you are evil, repent now !!11! There are no reasons for any person to be doing it, if you don’t understand that you are a monster as well.”
Right: "I/my company/my dog were using Windows/eating meat and it’s not all bad but the negatives outweight the positives. That’s why I switched to Linux/not eating meat. If anyone else wants to try this is a good way to start: … "
Osmand would be the best one if it wasn’t so slow. Compared to organic maps the rendering lag is not only noticeable but very annoying
Unfortunately not, and the time estimates are quite inaccurate. Sigh, it’s the price for not having to deal with Googles shit

Makes perfect sense. Actors are selected from a population you live in. If you did a production of Shakespeare in Uganda most actors will have black skin, if you do it in Ireland most actors will have white skin. That’s part of what acting means - representing a character that’s not you.
Reading historical fiction is different - first it’s historical so it has to follow what really happened. And we know what those people look like. Second it’s written so you have to imagine characters. Imagination has to follow certain patterns or stereotypes you already know about the historical period.
Doesn’t matter. It’s not about the number but their roles in the story. The core racist belief is that some races are inferior. If you make a person of the “inferior” race a protagonist = woke.
Btw, I hate having to say this, making protagonists black doesn’t make a show good on it’s own, you still have to tell a good story.
That’s the correct way to do it.
The wrong way to to do it is: moving to another team requires you to go through the full hiring process. Any lateral movement, for example backend engineer -> fronted engineer is treated as if you’re a junior starting a completely new career.
Beer. I’m boring.
And also I don’t want to get wasted, so something long with low alcohol does it for me.
As someone said before it’s not directly a consequence of a workplace, it’s a part of interracting with a random selection of people from wildly different backgrounds.
Nod your head as if you weakly agree. Throw in a random opinion of your own, but I don’t recommend the extreme ones. Questions also work especially when they are seemingly neutral and cause doubt in the original speaker.
For example if a Christian nationalist starts hating on Mexicans don’t fall into the trap of repeating typical responses about respect for immigrants. Ask him how he reconciles that with the fact that Mexicans are predominantly Christians. Or something unexpected like that.
