How to I relax? My shoulders get so tense at times that it leads to crippling headaches.

God damn it, why are there people that think that genocide is competition in effectiveness on every damn side?

Primary genocide requirement is intent. And out of five definitions, only one involves outright killing.

Read the convention before arguing about genocide. (1) (2)

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group

On the other hand, if it works in Firefox, it’s likely to work everywhere else.

I use Firefox for development and then, barring some weird chrome bug, things just work everywhere.

When people say “pointers are hard”, they mean “I have no idea where the star goes and now an ampersand is also implicated”.

Different disciplines - different thresholds. But yeah, that’s exactly it.

With software engineering, the unknown space is vast, yet the tools are great. So it’s very easy to start tinkering and get lost in the process.

That’s how engineers think in their free time.

When the specific goal is something I can do manually, and it’s not pressing, I would rather spend time learning how to make a tool to do it. I might not need the tool ever, I do use the knowledge picked up on those forays every day.

They still can’t hyperfocus on an irrelevant topic on a five times removed tangent. ADHD for life… literally.

Of course western media doesn’t care to look beyond “he’s not Putin”.

This fucker blames Georgia for Russian invasions of Georgia, claims that Crimea and occupied Ukrainian territories are Russian “according to constitution of Russian federation”, and wants to stop the war in the same way Putin does - by keeping occupied territories.

The fact that “good Russians” support him tells you everything you need to know about how good they are.

They criticized your place of employment, not you.
