Lots of folks replying don’t seem believe in self empathy.
That makes me sad.
Self empathy is the foundation of empathy toward others.
The golden rule - treat others as I want to be treated - only really became effective, for my friends, after I learned to treat myself well.
Is self empathy distinct from self pity?
Absolutely.
Pity is when I wallow in how unfair everything is to me.
Empathy is when I realize I genuinely got dealt a shit hand, then give myself some time to recover, and then get on with life.
so what’s the fucking point?
I’ve heard that covering up abhorrent crimes takes special amounts of money.
But maybe they’ll release the Epstein files any day now to prove that rumor wrong, and we can all relax.
I don’t fit into any of these…yet
Can I interest you in Linux Mint, today?
I am joking.
Unless you want to try Linux, in which case let me (or any of us) know…
What language is the CLI written in?
Yes, running a CLI from inside a container can be a pain, but it’s not a big deal for the people asking.
I would just provide a trivial Dockerfile and see if anyone uses it.
This seems like a job for a WordPress blog or GitHub pages.
I’ll be happy to be your evil grand vizier, if you need one.
I’ll be super chill to hang out with in my palace, while my Grand Vizier takes care of day to day business.
This is a delight, and you are correct. That said, in the spirit of this silly thread, I provide solutions, below:
If I buy a house worth 950000, would I only be allowed to save 50000.
Yes. It will be time to get some roommates.
- what about if the house increase in value so that it is worth 2 million, should I just accept that I loose 1 million?
Yes. Or rather, exactly half of the house. Time to rent a storage unit, and put up some tarps to divide the entryway.
What about stocks?
Better sell some.
Inflation or Deflation, when/how will you update that limit?
Cost of living increases have long been understood and easy enough to calculate.
But - when I’m global leader, COLA for millionaires will only start after exactly as many years as the local minimum wage went without updates.
innocent wompra
I’ve always assumed that womp rats, being roughly 2 meters long, were intended as a kind of R.O.U.S. (Rodents of Unusual Size) and are presumably equally aggressive and dangerous.
I realize it’s a stretch, but it’s been stuck in my head canon since I first saw Star Wars.
What do I do if adult tells me they want to play with hot wheels with me? I say yes.
Fuck yeah. Hot wheels are great.
I hate investing
Mutual Funds / Index funds are your best bet. (Look for descriptive words like “broad”, “mix” or “full market” in the description).
If you can, pick out one named “target retirement YYYY” with YYYY being within a few years of whatever year you will turn 67.
It will automatically follow investing best practices based on your current age - agrressive earlier, and very cautious later.
I’m not familiar with all the details of how it works
Perfect recipe to get ripped off. (Most people I know say that insurance/investment combined products suck. I’ve heard some disagreement whether they’re just a bad deal, or such a bad deal they ought to be a crime.)
the need to constantly change jobs to move ahead financially also keeps people on unsteady ground with relationships.
That’s a great point.
Can I find a broken window and start sanding it with sandpaper, as an extreme example?
Yes, provided you have a way to polish it back to transparent again, after changing the shape.
I’m pleased to report that all those other promised utopia frameworks turned out perfect, and aren’t in any way still a huge daily pain in the ass. I expect no less from this time around. Computers are finally smart. It’s great.
It’s the AI that is prone to delusions, or was that just me?
A little more time and a lot more money. But the savings will be huge. The savings will make the current era of extravagant burning piles of money look like a sound investment. You’ll be glad you got in on the ground floor…
We do need a little more time, though. And money.
Linux Mint is so nice.
I would turn off “Secure Boot” in BIOS before doing the upgrade.
It officially works, but can throw in unnecessary challenges - and Mom probably isn’t traveling with national secrets next week anyway.
if they want a document printed they just go out to some print shop.
In fairness, it can be expensive to stock the holy water necessary to fend off the demons that inhabit all printers.
“yes”, “no”, and “ship” is hilarious.
Makes me suspect they have some lawyers on staff who were able to read America’s laws -b which read to a lay-lerson as ‘we absolutely always spy on everything you host on our soil’.
