Not being happy in a relationship is enough to move on. You don’t really owe anything to someone who isn’t fulfilling your needs
Of course have a chat about things first if relevant, but it seems like you already have done enough
Realize your self worth, and take care of yourself

Sure, but space habitats are far far more useful than underwater ones
There is definitively no shortage of challenges in orbit

The funny thing is, a cheap quartz crystal based clock is more accurate than the best mechanical clock
Fancy clocks being more accurate than cheap clocks is literally just marketing.
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 1 month ago:
On the other hand, do keep in mind that mighty empires have fallen. We cannot say for sure that things will be fine just because in the past the USA has survived

- Comment on German football club leaves X, warning Elon Musk ‘capable of influencing German election’ 2 months ago:
Then again, discord is not outright fascist. Yes it’s a shitty company, but shitty companies are the standard
Twitter though? I feel as if a lot more people could go “if you want to ever talk with me again, go here” and people would follow. It’s a bit harder to argue for staying on twitter when all of this shit is going on
Then again, a lot of my friends are still on twitter despite me telling how fucking dangerous that site is now, so eh. I don’t really get it, though. Then again, I have little sympathy for people who complain that something is too complex just because it doesn’t do literally everything for you. A lot of people are just addicted to convenience, despite it harming them in the long run

While true, it’s very unlikely we’ll use hydrogen. It’s very impractical for this use compared to alternatives

- Comment on Colin Anderson Calls GTA 2 the ‘Unsung Hero’ of the Franchise | Retro Gaming News 24/7 2 months ago:
That’s very funny to me, since GTA 2 is the only GTA I have fond memories of
But then again, I was a kid so. Not exactly the most refined tastes

Should you even call something out as a repost when the last time it was posted was 4 years ago?
After all, millions of people have been born during that time

- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 2 months ago:
AI has been used for these things for decades, they are just in the background and not noticed by laypeople
Though the biggest issue is that when people say “AI” today, they mean specifically LLMs, but the world of AI is so much larger than that
- Comment on "You'll end up in a van down by the river" if you do drugs, don't go to college, etc. advice never includes the warning: "Don't suffer major Depression that gives you complete apathy for existence." 2 months ago:
People vastly underestimate the influence of chronic illness when it comes to adverse living situations
When you’re struggling to be productive and work, society treats you like trash, and often won’t give you the support you need. And this is a lot more common than people are willing to admit
- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 2 months ago:

Then again, I don’t live in th US
- Comment on Girl without smartphone unable to join in lesson — 'I feel guilty for not buying my daughter one for school' 2 months ago:
I’m surprised everyone having laptops and using them for school isn’t standard. It’s been standard when I was in school here in Norway a decade ago
- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 2 months ago:
Disposable vapes, not vapes in general
Banning disposable vapes are just a strictly positive thing

Okay but if you get hit and die from the shrapnel of a grenade, I won’t say that you died of blood loss, or from shrapnel, but not from the grenade directly. I will just say “killed by a grenade”
- Comment on Why do residential skyscrapers always seem to include balconies that never get used? 2 months ago:
Okay but the original comment never mentioned building codes, but the rental agreement
- Comment on Octopus 3 months ago:
Well, sure, but would you rather write that a substanc has a pH value of 11, or the absolute value, which is the hydrogen ion molar concentration, which would be 0.00000000001?
- Comment on Octopus 3 months ago:
In addition, pH is a logarithmic scale, a pH of 3 is 10x more acidic than pH 4
- Comment on New Yorker’s ‘Social Media Is Killing Kids’ Article Waits 71 Paragraphs To Admit Evidence Doesn’t Support The Premise 3 months ago:
I can tell you for a fact that if I were to unalive myself today my parents would blame it on social media, the school system being woke, queer people “confusing” me, vaccines, or whatever else
But they’d never look at themselves and think that maybe how they treated me as a child led to consequences that still heavily affect me today. Where their “parenting” led to mental health issues that I struggle with even still decently into my 20s
(And in case you’re worried, no I won’t kill myself, don’t worry)

I see a lot more people complaining/joking about arch users than arch users proselytizing
- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 3 months ago:
Yeah, it’s useful, you just gotta keep it on a short leash, which is difficult when you don’t know what you’re doing
Basically, it’s a useful tool for experienced developers that know what to look out for
