  • As someone in stem who has never felt smarter than anyone how do you justify your sucess?

    Jump

  • So many things factor into success besides being smart: effort, discipline, charisma, connections, and sometimes just luck. That’s not to say you aren’t smart. It could be a case of imposter syndrome, or your skills not being applied in the right way. Either way, you don’t need to “justify” success or lack of it. Just do the best with what you were given.

  • Slight tangent: maybe this is just an online thing since I hardly ever hear it in real life, but I do not understand the mean comments towards short men (especially from women who are still shorter than them). You get all the benefits of man™ in compact form. What’s not to like??

  • I have 100 euros a month to donate to open source projects. Do you think its better to donate more to fewer projects or less to more projects?

    Jump

  • Smaller, recurring donations to several of the projects you use most often or whose purpose you most support is what I would do. You can browse for projects you might want to donate to from this list on codeberg or OpenCollective, or look for individual developers you want to support.

    Personal recommendations: your Linux distribution and Fediverse instances of choice, LibreOffice, WireGuard, Archive.org, Anna’s Archive, Signal, KDE, Wikipedia.

  • What's the best thing that happened to you this week?

    Jump

  • Quality time with friends is always refreshing ☺️

    Getting to spend time with some of mine and going out to a concert were was the high point of my week.

  • Using hand sanitizer to stop a snake from trying to eat itself

    Jump

  • From what I’ve read, it’s very rare for snakes to do this and it happens when they are sick, stressed, or confused to the point of mistaking themselves for prey. It’s more common in captive snakes that don’t have room to stretch out properly and mistake their own tail for that of another snake. The scent and taste of the hand sanitizer is strong and unpleasant enough to break them out of the behavior.

    Surprised by how much of itself it managed to swallow.

  • US plans to review up to five years of the social media history of foreign travelers

    Jump

  • It’s more than than just social media:

    As well as the collection of social media information, the new document proposes the gathering of an applicant's telephone numbers and email addresses used over the last five and 10 years respectively, and more information about their family members including their addresses and telephone numbers.

    An announcement on the website for the US Embassy and Consulate in Mexico states certain visa applicants must list all social media usernames or handles of every platform they have used in the last five years. 

    It warns that if any social media information is not listed, it could lead to both current and future visas being denied.

    What happens if you don’t use social media or claim that you don’t? I assume it will be up to the discretion of whoever reviews the application, and that the entire policy will lead to a well-deserved drop in tourism revenue.

  • What are your Valentine's Day plans?

    Jump

  • That’s nice, I hope you have fun 😊

    I never celebrated Valentine’s Day unless my partner wanted to do something. This year I was going to bake a dessert and take some fun photos for my crush as a simple gesture but things haven’t been going well so most likely I am going to work and get some chores done instead.

  • Why do russian parents insist on being treated to home cooked meals?

    Jump

  • It is custom in some cultures, including mine, to host holidays and personal events in your own home and visit friends and family in their homes when it is their turn. There may not be (or have been at the time) a good selection of restaurants, those restaurants might be expensive or exclusive, and inviting someone for a home cooked meal feels like the more personal and thoughtful thing to do. Some older generations have a hard time letting go of these customs without understanding that circumstances have changed (less family and community support, more options for eating out).

    It can be exhausting having to regularly host and clean before and after large groups of people on top of all your other responsibilities and I can’t blame anyone for wanting to celebrate in a restaurant or somewhere outside the home.

  • Been putting a lot of thought into this

  • No intentional murder, but I assume that if grandma gets drafted into the ski jump or if random untrained people like Dale the electrician are pitted against each other in Olympic fencing, boxing, or rugby, there are going to be a few deaths.
