  Or doesn’t speak English as a first language. Or wasn’t educated yet and they’re young. Or live in a small town where they once met a single black man a decade ago and are too poor to leave.

  Unrelated note, bigots are unimaginative and don’t want to be educated. That’s why many people fall into the category you defined.

  The best part about being better than others is that you don’t realize it because you’re not the sort to bother comparing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We humiliate ourselves to the people we like so they will never like us back.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  My mom does this.

  There’s a certain amount of self depreciation that is acceptable. It’s useful for showing that you aren’t threatening and are self aware.

  But if it’s constant, it shows lack of confidence and some self hatred. That can be exhausting.

  And it’s wrong. You should think highly of yourself. You’re at least in the top 50% of all people, if not higher.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caddy reverse proxy fails with a login page⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know how to answer your question. But it might be that your router doesn’t like being access as a url. I know I had to tell mine to accept login.router.net as itself.

  I also just want to highlight:

  The router and the host running Caddy, are different machines

  This means your credentials are being passed in plain text over your network between caddy and the router. This might be OK to you. But wanted to highlight for anyone else reading.

  It’s a lesson most people eventually learn. I hope you get there sooner than later.

  There are a very small number of objectively attractive people. Maybe 5%. Everything after that is subjective. Which is really good for the rest of us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder why we don't have an NPS score for people?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I can. You’re a 7/10.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder why we don't have an NPS score for people?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a very insecure woman, … want to know what their “score” is.

  You’re an 11/10. A goddess among the plebes. And you need to stop caring about other people’s opinions.

  Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and most of them stink. Once you realize that other people’s judgement is poor, you’ll be much happier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosted voice assistant with mobile app⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s gotten better. Which is to say, it’s almost feature compatible with the old assistant. But you can also give it context. So for example, if you say “remind me X”, you can get it to automatically remind you tomorrow with an alert at 9am, unless you specify a different time. And it’s ok if you screw up the phrasing a bit.

  But DIY is infinitely better. If you have the resources.

  It’s way simpler that way and basically the same benefit.

  Unrelated to self hosting: jira or whatever ticketing system your company uses. They tend to have integrations into those other apps where you right click and create a ticket. Then the ticket list is my source of truth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unconventional strategy.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a big difference between having no doubt, and thinking you’re infallible.

  I believe if I drop something it will fall to the ground because objects with mass produce gravity. It may be that some other completely different force is at work, besides gravity. But I don’t believe that to be true. But if there is evidence that it is true, I will change my mind.

  A good way to check if you believe something is to look at how you act. You see the cat, you act like. It’s a cat, you believe it’s a cat. If you see the cat, and hesitate and doubt, then you don’t believe it’s a cat. You may do some thinking and then determine it is a cat, and start believing it. And then you will act accordingly.

  And that’s why funerals disprove religious belief. If people truly believed in their religion, and believed in the afterlife, funerals would be happy not sad. But they don’t believe in their religion. They hope that they’re right. But they don’t believe it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unconventional strategy.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry if it seems flippant, but I’ve been down this discussion before. Done the research before. And I’ve come to conclusions already taking into account what you sent. A quick Google of “what religions believe other religions are right” would get similar results.

  The end result is: all religions make up their rules. It’s just people finding ways to live with other people. There’s nothing in them that isn’t explained easily by reality, or disproved easily by saying “no it isn’t”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unconventional strategy.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to be. I learned a lot about a lot of religions. I was seriously Catholic for 18 years. They all have a dogma that their believers don’t follow well. They’re often internally inconsistent in their rules. They don’t get us new knowledge or truth or understanding of the universe.

  If you objectively look at religion and how it’s used, it seems to be a convenient way to keep sociopaths under control (threat of a punishing father figure), a way to cope with mortality, and a way to funnel money and accomplish social goals. They had interesting uses in the past as forms of local government and keeping people from killing each other. They’re often used by horrible people to enhance their power and abuse others.

  But today what’s the point? Get a hobby, join a club, follow the laws, and accept that death is the end.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unconventional strategy.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A realists accountability is to reproducibility and observability.

  But if you can believe anything, and that makes you happy, then good. I personally believe red is green and drive how I like. Sure I’ve killed a few people, but that’s in reality so I don’t believe it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unconventional strategy.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So Hindu believe that the alien worshipping death cult that thinks all Hindu should die is as true as their own religion? That doesn’t seem right.
