- Comment on Do people confuse your nationality? 3 hours ago:
ppl sometimes ask where i’m from, assuming i’m not native. i use the opportunity to fool them a bit, by pointing in the direction of my birthplace and say “from over there”. they assume i misunderstood and rephrase and i can reveal that i really was born just a few kilometers in that direction. i really enjoy doing that, because i think its absolutely irrelevant and inadequate to ask. foreigners will reveal where they’re from when they’re ready. some ppl didn’t come for fun and being reminded of their origins can trigger bad/sad memories they’re not ready to handle.
- Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so? 11 hours ago:
I think you should consider your mom is very hurt right now and my be overreacting by pulling you into the fight because of that. However, a cheater isn’t a good role model and neither is the destroyer of marriages. She got that right.
IMO you should suggest a compromise, like staying with him, but berating him and his mistress from time to time and should also be transparent about it, so they know it’s due punishment and a compromise for not leaving him.

- its moral is women may be abandoned by their partners for being chareer first, getting an abortion or not wanting kids, even if it’s risky for their health.
- it features domestic violence, which can trigger some ppl
- it implies characters of a family friendly movie had interspecies sex

ppl should really reconsider using the zootopia abortion fanfic as a meme template
- Comment on I am disappointed in the AI discourse 5 days ago:
but it doesn’t do that for an entire index. it can just skim a few exrra pages you’re currently chatting about. it will, for example, have trouble with latest news or finding the ne domain of someones favorite piracy site, after the old one got shut down.

- Comment on Where does technology come from in Star Wars? 1 week ago:
that’s so discriminating. are ypu saying aliens aren’t people?
from our perspective, everyone in star was is technically an alien, because it’s happening “a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away”

lol, they’ll just paint them in gangsta ninja colors 😄
- Comment on Southport attack survivor calls for kitchen knives to be blunt tipped 1 week ago:
You can’t ban all useful things that can also be used as weapons. It’s too many. New ones are invented as you read this. You gonna forbid baseball bats? Bricks? Tree branches? Tools? This can’t work.
You gotta draw the line at things that have been created to be used as a weapon.
- Comment on How can open source projects get acquired by third parties? 1 week ago:
if it’s tied to a domain name, that domain can be acquired.
the code that is open source stays like that, but if they get all original authors on board, they can release a new version that is not open source; basically a closed source fork.
this is because the original authors can re-release their intellectual property under different licenses as much as they want, but then it’s out there with multiple licenses and people can choose which version they want to use as long as they respect the license that comes with that version.

maybe her “being dressed like that” affects your ability to interpret speech bubbles 🤭
- Comment on Time Stop 2 weeks ago:
why. just live your whole life as much as possibble in stopped time. no appointments. no dealing with annoying ppl. no alarm clock. then time resumes and there’s your corpse and you had the best life possible.
- Comment on Stack overflow is almost dead 2 weeks ago:
actually, i was surprised it took off at all, because there are plenty less formal alternatives, but the name is catchy with devs. maybe that’s all it took.
- Comment on Stack overflow is almost dead 2 weeks ago:
and link a slightly similar question, which’s answers can’t be used in your case, because of the small difference. also, it’s outdated since four years.

no, it’s not weird. you gotta stay open minded.

stop the slut shaming!
- Comment on If someone is bullied to suicide/threatened to death, and they actually attempt something like that or die, will the person who told them to do so get charged? 3 weeks ago:
I think this is the one case where you should use hanged instead of hung, but I’m not a native speaker, so not 100% sure.

what if they’re into that?
also, implying there is a future this far ahead.

You could then be replaced by an android that just uses this info to interact with those people, instead of yourself. You’d never have to meet ppl again. 5 stars 😄

It’s not your fault. Just sayan.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
In other languages, German for instance, its pronounced kinda like “weh” or like the letter V in English. It’s easier to say that way. Back in the day I sometimes said “triple double u” to not have to say it the actual, complicated way 😅

- Comment on Shinji need a little bit of motivation 4 weeks ago:
It’s really bad in anime, but unfortunately irrational behaviour happens in many shows. Then again we get people refusing to wear their mask during a global pnademic. So yeah, maybe some lunacy is spot on realistic idk

did they use multiple accounts to vote multiple times?

hyprland has useful features for a tiling compositor, like a special container you can toggle that goes in front of your workspace and is easy to customise and set up.
However, i think wayfire, even though much harder to set up (it needs a proper config and some helper apps or it’s just empty and you can’t even launch anything), has cooler effects and has a simple tiling plugin.
Also Gnome/mutter with the Forge extension is better than both, because you can optionally use just the mouse to drag windows at the title bar and drop them in a tiling frame of your choice. This is very helpful when your left hand is full of cheeto dust etc… Gnome also has the extensions Burn My Windows, Focus, Desktop Cube and Dash to Panel
which get you cool effects as well. It also has a Tweaks tool and the extension Just Perfection, which give you additional customization options. Gnome is very easy to set up and usable OOTB, even though not fine tuned. Also it is still backwards compatible to X11, in case you need that one app that looks crap in wayland (looking at you, Java)

yes, because text covers it and it’s blurry. almost didn’t find it.
