Re:Life Lessons from the Death Bed on Wednesday November 01, 2023 @10:40AM (#38098816)
I'm on the spectrum and whenever I think about possible regrets I might have on my deathbed, I always end up thinking “Who cares, I'm going to die anyway. Everything I have experienced will vanish with me, including the regrets I might possibly have.” It's nihilistic but I can’t help it.
I saw the popup just once, I updated most of the filters used by uBlockOrigin and I haven't seen it since.
A relevant documentary, although slightly more about women and the world in general, is Birthgap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6s8QlIGanA, where they talk about "unplanned childlessness"

How does that work in dating? If you are afraid of making people uncomfortable by asking them out, escalating things and putting them in situations where they have to say no to you, you may just end up being single for life.

"Arm" and "hand" are two very different things (I guess?), but they are the same word (рука) in Russian.

I have noticed that Wikipedia is often pushed to the bottom of the page compared to a few years ago where it would always be at the very top.

yeah, no way "food will be handed out for free" when you can make a profit by selling it; they'd rather throw it away (and they do) than give it away for free

I'm too low-IQ to understand what this means.

What pisses me off is that some legitimate websites like project goutenberg are all blocked by my Internet provider in Italy and I have to go through a VPN to access them. Same for scribd, vdoc, libgen and so on.

In some of the ones I get the filled data is all uppercase so they are very easy to spot.

Btw, in macOS Monetery 12.4 Apple also removed country flags for keyboard input.
It always plays the video for a few seconds the first time, than goes back to the beginning and plays it correctly till the end. God forbid if you try to mute/unmute it. On Firefox at least.
