- Comment on if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you? 2 weeks ago:
It seems that everyone already answered, but I will give my perspective as well.
It’s definitely very different for each person. Some people need the money more or less. Some people suffer more in their job or less. Some people have more options or less.
I like to imagine a scale where on one side you have the reasons to leave and on another side you have the reasons to stay. And reasons to leave are multiplied by how many options you have outside.
So if your job is terrible and you’re pretty financially stable and you have a lot of options for finding other jobs then the scale would lean towards leaving. Or if your job is pretty terrible, but you’re not financially stable and you don’t have a lot of options, then the scale would be pretty equal and you’ll have to take a risk.

Also, sending things to space is way, way, way worse for our planet per kg of stuff, because of the fuel and parts that it takes

One persons trash is another persons treasure.
There is a reason why this is a universal saying.
If it’s up for grabs, grab it

Ironically, the power hungriness of AI might actually do good for the environment if it normalizes nuclear energy.
Quite the twist

- Comment on A Prominent Accessibility Advocate Worked With Studios and Inspired Change. But She Never Actually Existed. 2 months ago:
Religion is often not a choice. For example you are gay, and also born in a muslim house, maybe your famiky decided that you are more important to them then the homophobia, and so, you are gay and a muslim because nothing pushed you to detach from your default religion.

- Comment on Which one is selected? The "Yes" option or the "No" option? 2 months ago:
I think that might be because modern UI tends to move away from 3d and insted highlights the selected button (making it lighter in color)
- Comment on How can I get a screw like this out? 2 months ago:
Try addinv a rubber band between the screw and the screwdriver, it adds friction which sometimes (usually not) helps
- Comment on How the fuck do you meet new people? 2 months ago:
Think about something you are passionate about, it can be biking, cars, some sport, maybe some morals that you believe in, faith, cards, or really anything, as long as you feel some passion or attraction to it.
Then find events that relate to this thing (can be multiple things) usually you can find irl events in WhatsApp groups, facebook groups, meetup, etc. And just go there a few times.
I was in a similar position as you about 3 years ago, and by doing this I quickly met a lot of people, a small amount of I actually bonded with.
Having an event that at it’s core has a subject that everyone shares a passion towards, really helps people bond, and it raises the chance that you will share other passions with the people there.
- Comment on Which one is selected? The "Yes" option or the "No" option? 2 months ago:
Not a great UI but honestly the yes looks pressed in the 3d meaning of the word.
So it’s not terrible

Nice, just straight up admit to it.
At least they are honest, right?
- Comment on Educational 2 months ago:
As far as I understand Israel doesn’t claim that it didn’t bomb a school area, it claims that it was filled with terrorists and had to go.
If I’m understanding this right, Israel is saying “this is the price that Gaza pays because we have to kill the terrorists” while also trying to minimize to the press how many civilians were actually caught up in these bombings.
Basically killing Hamas is above any Palestinian human rights for Israel, though I suspect that if the world wasn’t watching, the genocidal government there would actually just straight up give orders to kill them all.
