It's OK to wear a cross in, It's OK to make the sign of the cross, because that's the majority religion. Headscarves, however, are considered a "outfit ostensibly showing a [...] religious affiliation" and that should, according to some french lawmakers, be banned.

The unity mile, of course. It’s 10,688.54 m.

Or about 11 swedish miles per day.

I mean, it depends on how you define species. If we have a morphological species definition, then appearance is everything. Does individuals that look very similar, have similar dna and can have fertile offspring not count to the same species if their behavior is different?

What’s wrong with trumps right hand?

Can I suggest vim or emacs?

I think that they can’t deny access to the US military bases in Greenland.

Sorry, I misread your comment.

I mean, what is the compromise here exactly? Don’t deport all the children with cancer? Only shut down half of the department of education?

Is the cat ok?

I thought it was the other way around. The thickest part of the can is the top, followed by the bottom. The sides are much thinner. I thought the reasoning behind switching to tall and narrow cans with the same internal volume was to save on aluminium.

No, no. That’s what the real leader of the country (Musk) thinks.

I remember seeing an interview with Margaret Thatcher where she said that rail could never be successfully privatized. Just as a reminder of how extreme Musk’s ideas are.

Vi hasn’t been updated since 2005. Aren’t everyone just using vim or neovim?

Doom emacs. There is no end to customizability with emacs. Doom provides a great starting point for most things.

I knew a guy whose dad was a carpenter. He used to bike everywhere with a small trailer hitched to his bike. He moved construction lumber and everything using that bike.

These devices also collect a lot of personal data. The internet connection isn’t necessarily for the device to be useful, but rather to serve ads or sell user information to the highest bidder. Just look at how cars gather data that insurance companies buy. Or the news that Jeep were going to start displaying ads in the center console.

Dwm is a really customizable window manager. You just need to know C and write everything yourself!

I mean, if you fit in with all the norms that society sets and you feel happy, you don’t need mental health care. However, as soon as you don’t fit in or if you don’t feel happy, it might be a good idea to see a therapist to get help to deal with these feelings. Of course, the therapy should be free if you need it and everyone that even remotely feel the need to talk with someone should get to see a therapist.

I’m saying that being trans seems hard. I don’t envy those who are, because of all the stress and transphobia. I still maintain that it could be a good thing to talk with a therapist when meeting hardships in life, and untreated gender dysphoria must be a hardship. I don’t want anyone to feel like talking with someone about their problems is a negative thing. We all need to vent and be seen for the individuals that we are, especially when we go through rough times.

If that makes me a gatekeeper, I guess I am one. Personally, I think I’m just arguing for mental health care for all.

This is exactly right. AI can only interpolate between datapoints. I used to write code for research papers and chat gpt couldn’t understand a thing I asked of it.
