Re:Can a worker-owned restaurant work on Monday August 28, 2023 @10:00PM (#37302636)
Pay in my own restaurant??!! WTF!!
Very "intensely memorable" feelings/things don't have names!! The smell of old grass or barnes or rain on dry soil or kinds of breeze at certain temperature and level of humidity.. Many of these random things without names are still there and don't require words.
Tech companies have completely zombified the customers and are winning and chain scamming the customer every step of the way!!

bom trabalho, although I think you could've done without the torturous bloat of react!
Re:American English Dialects on Saturday August 05, 2023 @02:50AM (#37009622)
The map is atrocious.. Too much detail at that scale!! And I think I might've heard of the existence of an Appalachian category in Places like WV and parts of Tennessee. I'm a foreigner and even when I could barely tell the difference between dialects, I could very clearly see the huge difference between how people in WV and Eastern PA accents vs NJ and NY on the coast. Also, it seems odd that the "Canadian" dialect-s are so neatly aligned with the border!! I feel like people in much of Alberta speak some generic North American English and not a lot of "aboat". North of Ottawa in Quebec, Hull specifically, almost nobody speaks English!!! I lived there and everything was in French. Some people couldn't and did care to speak English even as a second language. The English that people speak in Quebec and particularly Montreal seems to also differ from the generic Canadian accent you know!

Conspiracy theories and pseudoscience in all its forms might also be aspects of this fake industrialized religiosity!!

Re:Never waste your midlife crisis on Friday July 21, 2023 @03:25AM (#36810996)
A mid-life crisis is not necessarily a bad thing!! It's probably one of the most important spiritual experiences a person can have. We are told that Mohammed used to spend long times in the Hiraa cave kinda meditating or thinking about things that are not part of ordinary life.. Somebody with midlife crisis is one who has questions and searching for answers! They are asking: "Who am I? What am I doing in this world!?"
Not much happened " intellectually and culturally" after the said event!! Modern science was started with the likes of Galileo and Copernicus, was crystallized at the time of Newton and some great improvements happened in the 19th century and very early decades of the 20th. I think the impact of the steam engine and the discovery/development of vaccines in the 18th century are much more impactful than anything humans did after the Manhattan project, apart, maybe, from artificial fertilizers (Oh that was developed before the great war). Planes, cars, sliced bread all came before!!! There is only one exception, computers but these haven't done much to add to mankind happiness. They replaced fax machines and are trying to replace phones helped spread pornography and rage, but so far their effect on humanity is marginal compared to the steam engine or even sliced bread.
Re:Never waste your midlife crisis on Monday July 17, 2023 @10:26PM (#36767050)
Yes, you can almost say that St. Augustine and Luther and others were having some sort of quarter/mid-life crises.
Re:Never waste your midlife crisis on Monday July 17, 2023 @10:19PM (#36767005)
It's not!! We were told as kids that prophets in general became prophets at that age around 40!! It's the case for Mohammed at least and if your read up on his life around that age, you can easily imagine he was going through a mid-life crisis!!
I lived many years in the US and almost nobody ever asked me about my religion or initiated a conversation about it.. I shared an apartment with a Canadian who used to ask me constantly about religion and how I prayed and when I prayed.. It was almost annoying!
I shouldn't be terrified by the mistreatment of millions of South Asian laborers in these oppressive oil-gas countries, but I should be terrified because of this random dude!! No thanks, journal de Septentrion!
Re:1x Programming on Monday April 18, 2022 @01:58PM (#31074199)
10X bullshitters are a rare breed!
We all need this!!
One post per week is too limiting!! There are days when I want to talk to or mention 10 friends!
Remember, these are just random opinions of some random person.. Education, institutions, politics, technology, sex, work, art, and media. This seems like a very random categorization of "things".. Why is food or religion or violence or consumerism there?

I've been spending more and more time time in the terminal and that's why I like this page. I agree the colors seem random. I wish there is some utility that converts markdown to both HTML and formatted terminal text.

It's largely a matter of opinion!! For almost a decade, I've never played a game apart from that dinosaur thing on chrome when there is no Internet!
I love You and have it in my bookmarks. It gets many things right and better the current monopolist.

The problem is even when you sign up, they restrict your account for commenting or liking something!! Now they want your phone number!!! Fuck you Agorwawol!! I hope this musk do something about it, although I doubt it!! They are all scumbags!!
Re:I stopped advertising and nothing happened on Thursday April 07, 2022 @03:07PM (#30949000)
Internet ads are garbage.. I would pay attention to a well-made radio or tv ad, but online ads just the scum of earth!! My eyes skip over embedded text ads and I don't have the patience to see a video ad.. Ad blockers take care of most of that!!! I don't know how this scam "industry" keeps getting away with robbing businesspeople who are supposed to be smarter than the rest of us!!! The only form of advertising I am kinda OK with and believe might work is those sponsored ads by youtubers or affiliate links and the like..
Going with some kind of browser extension would've been better!!
