I think what a lot of people are missing here it’s that it’s a dialectic. It can be true that reading is important and it can also be true that reading isn’t always the best medium for understanding certain concepts. It’s not an either-or situation, rather it’s both, at the same time. I’m glad someone else recognizes that as well.
Jesus Christ, fuck science and evidence, I guess. There’s a reason I included that. But sure, let’s go off one assholes anecdote that “ADHD people are the best at multitasking, we thrive at it” and everyone else is just making an excuse for their shortcoming of not having ADHD. Give me a break dude.
And for another anecdote, literally nobody I know who has ADHD is loved at their job for having it. They all struggle to hold jobs.
to multitask with.
Rule 2 of adulting: Stop trying to multitask. Multitasking is a myth and impossible for humans to actually successfully do. The more things you try to do at once, the less effective and capable you are at each individual task. Literally not a single human alive is actually good at multitasking. I understand you have issues, but whether you like it or not, you’re reducing your effective capacity to “get shit done” by choosing to try to do this impossible thing called multitasking.

141·1 day agoHave you set up certificates with LetsEncrypt or something similar?
Since you’re running it on your own hardware and obviously have admin privileges, you could try out Certbot:
HTTPS requires signed certificates to be able to connect, that’s part of the trust provided in the security. Also, HTTPS is port 443 while HTTP is port 80.
I don’t think I’m taking away his agency. I’ll even quote myself.
I used to think that being a true believer was his worst quality and why things went so badly and it made me think being a true believer was the most dangerous quality you could have in a leader.
His agency is defined by his religion, his religion is why he was so sure he was doing the right thing without any self-reflection on the human consequences of the millions of lives lost in Iraq. He was justifying it as a means to an end to win a Holy War. That’s pretty horrific.
I do think he actually wanted to do good in the world, but yes, true believers of religion are often blinded to the suffering they’re making happen because they’re so sure that the suffering needs to happen for God to love them. That’s why I thought being a true believer was a dangerous quality in a leader, because they don’t have the capacity to self reflect on how horrific their decisions are due to the fact that in their mind the ends justify the means in the name of God. That’s still his own agency choosing to ignore the horrors he wrought because he believed it needed to happen in God’s name. Religion didn’t force that viewpoint upon him, there are plenty of pacifist religious people, it was a choice he made in the name of his religion.

Nah, they let him do some:
His program for helping manage HIV/AIDs in Africa is still viewed very positively.
Dubya was a mixed bag and I often felt like he got the rawest deal out of the war on terror. He was a true believer, he famously told Jacques Chirac that he thought the biblical demons Gog and Magog were at work in the middle east. He truly thought he needed to save the world. I think he was naive and was basically used by the neoconservatives around him. That doesn’t excuse any of it, being a true believer led him to signing off on true atrocities. However, it makes me view him as more of a mixed bag of a person who may not have signed off on so many atrocities and might have done more genuinely good things if he had a less evil team managing him from behind the scenes. People didn’t call Dick Cheney Darth Vader for nothing, the people around Bush were far more legitimately purposefully evil than him, in my eyes. Bush still signed off on war crimes though, so it’s hard to have that much sympathy. I used to think that being a true believer was his worst quality and why things went so badly and it made me think being a true believer was the most dangerous quality you could have in a leader. Well, Trump taught me that believing in nothing at all is far, far worse.
For context, two years after 9/11 upwards of 70% of Americans believed Saddam Hussein was directly connected to the attacks and wanted to invade Iraq.
Americans are not smart, and they are very racist.
Those of us who lived through the Dubya Bush years can attest to this. Even Dubya Bush wanted to give illegal immigrants amnesty and a path to citizenship but it was deeply unpopular so it never happened.
121·3 days agoNo questions. Hats off. Thank you for your service, it always seemed like a honeypot to me. Nice to see some evidence other than my gut feeling.
I’m on an instance that only federates upvotes so I don’t really think about downvotes or know if I am getting them.

If we get to see modern day Salma Hayek doing another bar dance scene, I’d say it was all worth it, no matter how much it sucks.
13·12 days agoYes, I do use it, and I’ve never experienced any trouble with it.

It used to be on the official Firefox Extensions repository until DMCA takedown notices made them take it down.
It used to be on gitlab until DMCA takedown notices made them take it down.
It used to be on github until DMCA takedown notices made them take it down.
It moved to gitflic.ru not because it’s sketchy, but because of copyright enforcement.
It’s kind of like sci-hub, in a way, it can only actually survive in a country that doesn’t respect the US copyright cabal.
That being said, I’ve never audited the code, but it’s open source (MIT-license) and signed by Mozilla as noted on its gitflic page:
PS although the add-on was removed from Mozilla’s add-on store (AMO) (because of DMCA Takedown Notice) it’s still signed and manually checked for security by Mozilla (hence the delay in signing).
A thirty year old woman is reasonably an adult. You’re not going to be grooming her or anything. The older you get, the less an age difference is really an issue.

This post gives me the heebie jeebies. Yecccch. Sorry I don’t have any good advice just disgusted by the very thought which had never occurred to me.
Sorry to hear that, you got an upvote from me at least. (Downvotes don’t federate to blahaj and you can’t downvote from blahaj)
