Hamberders, IIRC.

Maybe it’s an ASUS thing but both my current and previous boards have been pretty good with the help texts.

Yup, my first thought as well. While those days are thankfully over, those braindead BIOS “help” messages remain etched into my mind forever.

How has nobody mentioned Girls Just Wanna Have Fun yet? That bubbly energy is a great pick-me-up whenever you need it most.

I treated every undergrad paper like a dissertation. Didn’t work out all that well. My grades were excellent, though.

Yes, we need to grow more independent of the U.S. (while maintaining good relations with it). Investing in a flourishing European arms industry will not just secure our independence and strengthen our common defense. It will also be an investment that pays off economically via jobs created here, corporate taxes paid here, etc. I wish we could invest into building a more peaceful and just world instead. But that is not what our current situation calls for. Right now we need to safeguard the peace and justice we have already. We’ve come a long way and mustn’t allow an aggressive and ruthless neighbor to threaten what we’ve achieved up to this point.

Pars pro toto. Nice.

Ah yes, that probably showed my age right there. The Duke was the nickname of John Wayne, who died of cancer in 1979.

I learned a few years ago that the Duke is, in fact, not frozen waiting to be resuscitated. Of course I only learned this after arguing with my prof in film class about it. Classic urban legend. Now I’m worried about any other hoaxes I might have absorbed in the pre-Internet years. At least I know that the Glomar Explorer was not looking for manganese nodules.

You guys have wives?

Oh, that’s mostly about thermonuclear war. Much as I support Ukraine, you don’t want to give Vlad the impression he needs to send nukes somewhere and start the Doomsday spiral. It takes some fine balancing. Morally, you are 100% right.

IDK why people are downvoting my post. That’s literally what that is.

I visited a talk with Peter Singer in Washington, D.C. a few years ago where people applauded a guy who had considered joining an NGO and decided to become an investment broker and donate to Effective Altruism instead. 🤔

It’s called Effective Altruism!

About what, genocide? You might be onto something there, Sergey.

All the people complaining must not be using verbatim search (in search tools, toggle from “all results.”)

The self hate and the blame (and the depression etc.) are mental illnesses and I, too, have benefited greatly from tackling them as such with therapeutic help. But these are comorbidities; they’re secondary to ADHD which to me is a neurological issue.

Cool comic but I’m not sure I would characterize ADHD as a mental illness. Like, I’m not delusional or suffering from anxiety or whatever. I’m just struggling with focus and with doing boring tasks (okay, there’s more to it but that would be the gist of it).

*of boring work.

This is an odd one. I know I used to have trouble sleeping as a kid but have completely grown out of that. Nowadays I harness the power of my brain being half shut down already to fall asleep quite easily. Considering that it’s 4:23 a.m. here, the same is obviously not true for me staying asleep. But that’s okay. I will just go for another round in a minute. Good night everyone!
