It’s not appropriate. But don’t take it personal.

I am sensitive to noises, so I can empathize very well with people who suffer when noisy/kids people are around. It can be really debilitating and stressful. And frustrating, as there’s usually no control over that situation. So it’s usual for people to vent the extreme frustration generated by shit talking.

Maybe they have a neighbor with noisy kids and they are suffering every day because of it (as it is my case for instance). So being rude to strangers who may not have special concerns if kids/people are noisy or not is a way to vent. Not a good way, but it’s natural in most people to vent their frustration with people they assume (correctly or not) are related to their suffering.

What I mean is that noise sensibility can be a very serious issue to some people. Empathy and compassion is needed in this cases when defending anything related with noisemaking.

Leonardo DiCaprio. I can never believe he is the character I always see an actor trying to portrait a character. Like with other actores I can believe I am seeing something that happened. With DiCaprio I’m always aware that I’m watching an actor doing a performance.

I don’t know if that makes a lot of sense. But it’s one of the few “good” actor that makes me feel this way.

Windows or linux?

On linux I know that could cause lots of issues.

On windows I’m not aware of any reason not to keep the graphic drivers updated with nvidia.

Not going to argue about the general kid stance. Just about the “shitty parent” bit, which is also de main complain.

There are two tiers of good/bad parent. There’s the objective one, are the kids being hurt? No, then you are a good parent. Pretty easy.

But there’s a more complex one. Are your education as a parent helping to produce an adult with a series of determined characteristics? This is a lot more complex. As there’s no universal agree on what a good adult is so there cannot be a good agree on which parenting is good because it produces these type of adults.

I’d would assume that when people say “you are a shitty parent” they would me mostly saying “your education will produce an adult that I do not consider desirable in my idea of a society”. That’s subjective. Some people prefer some traits and other prefer others.

As in this general example if someone sees a kids making a lot of noise and their parents not correcting them they may say “that’s a shitty parent”. Do they think they are hurting the kids? No. They’ll just probably think that those kids will grow up to be noisy adults and they don’t like noisy adults, so they think that’s not a desirable education for a kid in their society. Nothing more. I wouldn’t take those “you are a shitty parent” in any other way.

“Big sponge” have us all in their pocket.

My toothbrush head actually starts developing black patches overtime of what I asume is my own bacteria setting in in the brush. Mostly in cavities hard to reach for a normal cleaning.

For me boiling easily removes those dark patches. It is true that they come back faster than the time they took to appear the first time. Put it peaces my mind and I’m still alive after all this time.

Funnily enough I stopped using washing sponges in the shower and start washing myself only with my hand because someone told me that sponges were bacterial paradise. And to be true I found out that I really don’t need a sponge to clean myself.

It’s the typical job where nothing happens until it happens. I suppose they would be the ones more likely to end up calling an ambulance for a student.

What do you do for them to break so soon?

I’ve had two electric toothbrushes in my life. The first one lasted for maybe 10 years. The breaking point was plastic degradation which occluded the internal electronics and destroyed de button to turn it on.

I think could have been repaired with the right materials. The repairability of the brand I buy is pretty good.

For anyone curious the brand is:

The electric toothbrushes are nice but the head replacements are too expensive and I’ve not find a suitable offbrand replacement. So I end up boiling the toothbrush heads several times to extend their lifetime.

No one can predict the future. One way or the other.

The best way to not be let behind is to be flexible about whatever may come.

I used to get the light prices on my phone widget via a public api. Some years ago they closed the api and started asking for full name and id in order to get api access. So I just made a scrapper that takes the numbers I want from their website and serves an API for the widget.

That’s the only self made app I self host, but I’m quite proud of it.

I think in the eu we have some legislation about it. I have the feeling of reading about a law like that before. Subscription buttons needing to be as clear as unsubscribe.

House in the middle of the woods, with internet connection. It’s the weird eremite techno wizard life for me.

I mean every historical source is full of one sided propaganda.

Have you ever heard the phrase “history is written by winners”?

What have keep history alive is not Wikipedia. Is the fact that multiple people from multiple POV write things down and we can find and read multiple sources.

Don’t get me wrong, Wikipedia is great, but it’s not what keeps history more or less accurate. Take into account that Wikipedia is a sum up of other sources. In order to write to Wikipedia you must quote a primary source.

And AI really doesn’t have much to do with anything here. Bad sources have existed forever, since Herodotus.

I have rode the bike I had when I was a kid several decades ago. The tires themselves were good just had to change the air chambers.

Maybe they were not good for profesional cycling but for moving around I didn’t notice anything wrong with them.

Bikes are the apocalypse ideal vehicle. They are immensely underrated on apocalyptic media.

Fuel I need to constantly scavenger? No thanks.

Noise that would attract the zombies? No thanks.

The highway is collapsed and my RV cannot go through? No thanks.

A bike would get you quite good through many apocalyptic scenarios.

Thanks!

Sometimes I have issues spelling these similar looking English words.

What are you implying is the strawman?

The millions of honest and dishonest poor and rich people that prove that morals are not related to money? Or the statically significant lemmings that agree with “all poor are good because they are poor” ?

According to Lemmy poor people who have done not harm to others have the same morals that poor people that hurt others.

I personally know a homeless person that have never steal or hurt. And several poor people with homes but small income that have stab and stolen other people, probably justifying their shit behavior in being poor.

According to some out of touch lemmings those two people are morally equivalent.

Being poor doesn’t justify being a shit person. And defending that is insulting to honest and moral poor people.

According to Lemmy all poor people are good.

Tell that to Juan, the homeless I personally know that has not done anything bad, and have been always an angel. He had never hurt or steal anyone and he doesn’t even have a roof over his head.

But according to Lemmy shitheads that kill, steal and rape have the same moral merit as Juan because they are not rich.

People is bad or good. Money don’t have that much factor in that. It only changes the type of “bad things” you do, but bad people will do bad things and good people will do good things.

Don’t fall for the sentient sentiment that all poor are good and all rich are bad, or that all rich are good and all poor are bad. Because that doesn’t correlate with really.

Yes, maybe a poor bad fella will stab you, while a bad rich guy will deny your medical insurance. They both are taking your life, different approaches to evilness due different disposable income available to do evil shit.

In Spain.

Not at all. Law is ridiculous and judges are even more ridiculous.
