  • What seems to be difficult to many other people but isn't for you?

    Jump

  • Well, that's one of the reasons. Everything is too mild to my parents' taste.

  • [Serious] What is the greatest tragedy a person could experience in their life?

    Jump

  • The greatest tragedy a person could experience is the one they do experience.

  • What's your "I switched to Linux because..." Story?

    Jump

  • I switched to Linux, because my very first confrontation to buy a Windows license myself weirded me out. It was quite casual. My exposure to Linux came from a few software development related videos. The workflows I saw looked much more efficient and fulfilling. To be honest, with a dying laptop running on Windows 8.1 I had an extra terrible experience anyway. So when I built my PC and I realized that legally purchasing a Windows license looked like browsing the black market, I decided to save my money and just try Ubuntu. I definitely had the luxury of being able to simply dive in.

  • They're not giving you a string, but an error.

  • Has a stranger's reply to you on social media ever changed your strongly-held belief(s)?

    Jump

  • No, I'm not.

  • Probably not supposed to work, but in a browser I have some of the premium features mentioned from playing whatever I want, changing the queue to creating playlists - all with a free account. I tried it with different browsers, different accounts and even without uBlock - just works. I still don't understand why and how. If it is a bug, I hope that they don't notice/fix it :D

  • You don't need the subscription to do all that. At least not in the browser.

  • Why doesn't Food Network do product placement in there shows? Would they not earn more money by a host saying I use this hot sauce name drop but you can use whatever?

    Jump

  • Oh, my bad, thought it was only YouTube.

  • On Youtube there is a checkbox to mark paid promotion in a video. There will at least be the common label for paid promotion. I don't think hiding a paid promotion is worth the risk for big Youtube channels.

  • In a desktop browser I could always do that (+ ads-free with ublock).

  • do you consider joking about dying and killing oneself a sign that the person saying it is troubled?

    Jump

  • I wouldn't assume anything with only this information. Jokes about death and suicide aren't uncommon and we don't know how they mean it. However it doesn't hurt to ask them and give them the opportunity to share their pain and sad songs with you.

  • What is your most "Fuck you, this is actually awesome?" take?

    Jump

  • Honestly I don't consider them plot holes. 'Don't try to understand it' was not only directed at the protagonist. The premise is pretty much what if we simply accepted this impossible mechanic.

  • There is no good way to answer a request beginning with "do you mind if I......."

    Jump

  • Do you mind if I do not do that?

  • 4th dimension doesn't exist because even 1D or 2D themselves are not real.

    Jump

  • What I meant is that some people portray the thin flat object itself as a 2D object, e.g. a piece of paper opposed to a box. I do understand that it's intuitive to associate the absence of a dimension with a value close to 0 for it and vice versa, because that's how we visualize it.

  • 4th dimension doesn't exist because even 1D or 2D themselves are not real.

    Jump

  • Yes, they are only abstractions, just like numbers are. I do not understand your conclusion that they therefore do not exist.

    I still upvoted this, because I can see where you are coming from. It's frustrating when adults portray thin flat objects as "2D objects" to explain dimensions to children. It's not a simplification; it's simply wrong.

  • Would you retire at 30 and live frugally?

    Jump

  • Probably not.

    1. I can't be certain that these earnings will cover even 10% of my expenses for a lifetime, because you never know.
    2. I feel too young to make such a drastic decision that will tremendously limit my future.
    3. I prefer enjoyable work with a healthy work-life-balance over not working at all.

    If anything, I'd take more risks and sacrifices to get a more fulfilling work experience.
