Pray, I guess?

It would be ok.
“Internet Cafe” mid 90s. Clicked down through yahoo’s directory not really knowing what I was looking for. Found the canonical list of lightbulb jokes. Funny but overall I was quite underwhelmed. Got a print magazine that listed and reviewed websites.
Evolutionarily speaking, threats from outside are an existential threat and need spreading. Good deeds at home are already known by everyone who matters and the ‘reward’ is survival of your children, not you ‘feeling good’. People do ‘hero worship’ though. I think you are downplaying that. Though the influence that comes from such a position probably means people are inclined to cooperate with ‘power’ because it has, de facto, already shown itself to be powerful. Whereas those ‘asking’ for power are necessarily weak.
This is all pop-sci evolutionary psychology so discard at will…
Could it be “if it stops me getting at stuff, copyright bad. If it stops the rich getting richer, copyright good”?
This doesn’t correlate with good developers at all in my experience. If I was to ask one question it would be “tell me about your passion project” or “What’s the last thing you nerded out on?”
Have you tried talking in only short amounts that require a response? That could narrow down the specific thing that made them not want to respond. If this is happening all the time with all sorts of people that’s unusual. In your example it’s hard to tell if they were overwhelmed with your talking style or if you offended them or if you missed all signs they were uncomfortable and they felt entitled to be rude to you (without saying) or if you just happen to be encountering people who feel that’s an ok thing to do and it doesn’t really have anything specifically to do with you. Lots of possibilities.
Ask him to define cooking any way he likes => point out preparing toast falls into that definition => beans on toast is cooking QED
Are you not very bright?

Mlem for iPhone? Also free
Have you tried Boost (android)? It’s free and I haven’t found anything to complain about…
Why would you access Lemmy that way when there are lots of other ways?
Using money you haven’t earned to buy things you don’t need to impress people you don’t like…
Because back buttons are a basic feature of web browsers.
I suppose they’re both highly charged and make specific points with the goal of providing illuminated information

Am in the UK so am safe from that for the time being…
I find it’s more often than not ‘heavyweight’ texts, especially on history articles where really really niche researchers have books or papers on the matter. That’s useful. But I’m generally more after what a professor would assign first year students as an introduction to The Romantics or English Painters. Sometimes Wikipedia has that, sometimes it has “Brush techniques employed by Turner in the summer of 1798 by Prof George Bannister, Prof Rodger Walker et al.”
Pretty much what I do. Sometimes I find the list isn’t public or the course is more niche than in interested in.
