I’ve driven both sides and there’s no difference, it just takes a little to adjust. I prefer a gearstick on the left, though, since my dominant hand is better at micro movements with the wheel and gear shifting is such a basic action. But really, the difference is barely noticeable.

Uh… Take away the ironic “men’s rights” part and you are your dad. Unless you’re actively ensuring your feeds are not algorithm content and the parts of the internet you’re hanging out in aren’t socially reinforcing…

Otherwise, we call these “echo chambers”. And funny enough is that those in them create the most “me vs them” content, all the while constantly reassuring “the audienice” that they’re not in one.

But, yeah. I’m sure I’m wrong and helping your dad to navigate through the ongoing onslaught of media is something you’ve tried.

Edit: GOD DAMN I’m so self- righteous and sassy tonight. Ignore the sass. Get the vibe. A apologise for the sass, but I won’t delete because the vibe.

Point is, you and your dad have two opposing feeds. Recognise that they are feeds and move on from that.

Yes.

But it’ll be the most extravagant protest ever. The who’s who will be there. No doubt, down Rodeo Drive,. The lenses of every contributor to your feed algorithm. The best of opinion pieces journalism.

You can set user labels for them. That’s fun. Just some stupid quirky thing that makes you laugh whenever the respond to you.

Sometimes I still start typing, but just to realise a few words in that it’s entirely pointless. But usually I don’t bother blocking.

My block list isn’t very big (14 if you exclude NSFW accounts), so if you’re on it, you’re something of a special level of toxic.

Let’s say that you’ve just significantly upgraded your GPU. If you were getting the most out of your CPU with your previous GPU, there’s a good chance that your new GPU will be held back by that older component. So now, you need a new CPU or some percentage of your new GPU’s performance is wasted. Except, getting a new CPU that’s worth the upgrade usually means getting a new motherboard, which might also require new RAM, and so on.

This guy’s friends should keep him away from computers and just give him an iPad to play with.

I envy people that can sleep like that. According to my watch, I managed just shy of a combined 90mins of sleep on a 16h flight and I was trying to sleep for most of it. This after I knew I’d struggle so sleep starved myself to four hours of sleep the night before 🫤

Meanwhile my friend successfully opted to nap in the car while I did a quick grocery shop…

If I’m not lateral, it ain’t happening. I’m open to any tips, but I’ve probably tried them all besides dosing.

Wow. Just in time.

PwC strikes again.

I’ve only seen this expressed in single statement messages, rarely emails or more complex message communication. Periods tend to only be useful for separating standalone statements with sentence complexity, so people may not use them when there is just one statement containing a small word count.

In fact, this is a grammatically consistent behaviour in formal English. As an example, the proper use of a period in bullet points is that they are not used unless the bullet point contained other punctuation marks earlier which increase their reading complexity to a more formal sentence rather than a quick statement. When we message people, we are often just speaking in an exchange of single bullet points due to the inefficiencies of soft keyboards.

If we go into further detail, periods come into play—though, some times we just switch to voice for a more robust and regular style of communication. Similarly, when we use physical keyboards, the speed and ease of them tends to have our spoken complexity go up and subsequently so does the requirement for periods to be used, and they are.

Placing other statement stoppers that are not periods are simply voluntary markers to underscore sentiment of that statement. They honestly have more place in such context as they’re providing actual purpose without the need to expand into multiple sentences or explanation on the slow soft key medium. In that sense, it is also not too dissimilar to and old timer complaining about telegrams using broken English.

I am starting to see individuals as how dependent they are on society.

The good news is that I don’t think we need to worry about a “,World War”. The bad news is that when WW3 inevitably happens, it’ll be the worst waste of lives yet.

I don’t know where I was going with that, but that’s where we’re going.

I had some teachers when I was in school that would just hand you a paper, hand you a book, and that was it.

Couldn’t do that if I even tried. I’d be so bored, I’d have to teach just to pass the time quicker lol

I was educated in Australia for quite some time and we kind of formed friendships with our teachers. Always ceremonious thank yous, gifts, and hugs from the class as we’d finish up the year and move onto new teachers.

Will never forget Mr Schwartz, Mr Hornby, and Ms Chamberlain. Teachers that lit up our worlds and had massive respect from all the kids.

56% of them are partially illiterate or worse.

It is many things. Institutional misogyny can be a cause for some.

per se “by or in itself or themselves; intrinsically.”

My female friend had a female doctor try to talk her out of a contraceptives prescription; that she was 28 and should be having babies…

It’s not a misogyny thing, per se, rather just people that define their lives by the templates supplied by societal stereotypes. Never take advice from a person that doesn’t think for themself.

More than that. Planes are just fancy flying cattle trucks. A lot of the time I’m in one it’s so I can get to a destination I’ll be hiking for several days lol. I’m all for Team Pilgrimage.

I’m sure it’s fine. Most Christians aren’t Christians anyway, especially if this takes place in the States.

It is. Humans aren’t forbidden and we’d be considered a clean animal.
