I don’t know which people you are talking about, but if it’s adults and you are a kid, then there are some reasons behind that… :)

My kid planned a trip to Croatia with his friends and they managed to book flights that made them spend the entire night at airports, because they wanted the cheapest price.

Counting in that they had to buy airport food and hardly slept at all, and came home wrecked and had to sleep all day, meant that not only did they pay more for the trip than directs flights would have cost, they also lost a day when getting back to sleep and rest…

I mean, it’s fine, but it shows inexperience and unwillingness to listen to adults who may have good ideas… :)

What is smart… I mean, most of us Lemmy tech people are good at computers but completely useless and may even despise other activities such as dancing, singing, acting, psychology, and so on.

Never forget that the school system evaluates how good of a worker you can be, not how good of a human you can be. The entire system is just built for economic growth, not your happiness. In fact, you consume more when you are feeling like shit.

A bit of a side note, I know, but it’s all connected to a bigger picture, so…

A lot of damaged people in the world. We are probably all damaged, honestly. But some more than others.

I’m even more impressed by aircraft carriers. Just one of those things weigh as much as 250 fully loaded Boeing 747s. And it just floats. :)

Around 9 years old. Could be some 11 year olds in there.

Coffee shops and pubs when they are cozy and have that atmosphere of life.

This is the algoritm I use at work.

Remember how they used to have arenas and gladiators?

Guess which people we are watching now instead of gladiators.

Wise words. Sounds like your heart is fully working.

Like Freedom Fries I guess.

How is the American presidential choice of picking 80 year old sociopath Donald Trump not a thought provoking issue?

But sure. Let’s focus on why Bananas are yellow.

100% agree.

The moderation is completely out of hand. Instead of being happy we have a platform where we can discuss things outside of big tech platforms, we have people who think moderation is more important than letting people express what is on their mind, specially on this day.

Wish I could make the mods be a bit mature here, but probably not.

Whats next, banning people for discussing moderation? I would not be surprised at this point.

I’ve been here from the start so I’m just angry to see this kind of thing here. Whoever mod who did this should look in the mirror and think “is my behavior a plus or a minus for the platform”.

You can just read the reviews and see for yourself:

Of course different reviewers say different things but I think the negatives listed here are huge.

It even has graphics errors. :)

I remember that experience first time and how I had to kill the process from another shell :)

This was before the internet so couldn’t exactly google it either.

Fun times. But I figured it out by reading the man page.

What can I say, most people seem to just buy without checking reviews.

The phone is a failure actually, for many reasons listed in proper reviews.

If you dont know how to exit vim, then yes you are…

I have met 2 in real life and they have both been amazing people. Very smart, friendly and sensitive. So far my track record is 100% positive.

Very nice. I started using zellij a lot and glad it’s getting more and more cool features.

I’m not watching. What’s the point of being manipulated and made to feel like we care about who wins? What previous president made things better instead of worse?

It’s like peasants cheering for either a turd or an asshole, both of which have much more in common with eachother than us. Great choices.

They are professional politicians with loads of money and influence, and an entire pr staff to write stories about them and make them appear a certain way to the public.

All that text and it’s all about sexual things and male privilege. If this is real, it shows you have no real life experience and you need wait until you do to understand what life is actually like as an adult.
