I will be back. I know I just created my account, but I have to study and stuff. Good night vietnam

  • Why this comment didn't get more upvotes is a mystery to me, can you please share more?

    If you are comfortable with it, tell us what kind of work you are involved in and if you are not, please talk more about what else you learned.

    i.e., If you didn't find any “to my family, I am sorry but I was not productive every day and I wasted lots of time”, what did you find?

    Also, any learnings you have had from those? God, I would read if you wrote a post about it! So, please do speak!

  • And spite. Never let go of the spite that makes you outlive the assholes

    Please explain that a lil more.

    FWIW you mold your life with a “goal” in mind, and along the way improvise when shit comes at you.

    You see, I had this goal for which I was ready to sacrifice a lot, but turns out I would almost certainly fail if I pursue it and even if I achieve that goal, it ain't paying my bills! A lose-lose! After I realized that I gave up on it and along with it everything I knew about myself.

    I don't know what I am doing atm, I am just wandering around thinking, if I know enough maybe I will get to know what will make me happy and then I can pursue it. i.e., No use sitting at home thinking about it and having an existential crisis.

  • I don't hold any answers but if you're reading this comment, I want to know how you take into consideration that if they are asking for money, that money can easily be used for drugs/opioids/other stuff which will hurt them.

    i.e., Do you give them money or do you give them food, a bottle of water or stuff like that?

  • I understand, thanks for differentiating between the ugly stuff (drugs, wanking off...) and the stuff we need.

    PS: I am talking mainly about getting rid of Phone addiction, netflix addiction and stuff like that, so these are net negatives if you overdo it and if you can't control yourself, which I can't do most times, they become really addictive.

  • That's pretty good!

  • Today I learned...

  • Damn! I will read them when I am really happy about something

  • Thank you for this comment and thanks for mentioning sources for further reading.

  • I guess this comment makes more sense now, you are right, it's probably not useful to read these messages. But, a counterpoint could be people who are in a really bad situation and are in that space make bad decisions.

    i.e., It depends very much on how the person perceives the situation. I have heard of 16-year-olds offing themselves because of something really stupid, so maybe if we read suicide notes which are so obviously wrong in their approach, maybe that will help people realize that even though you think there is no way, there probably is one.

    Also, I am not sure how often this is true. I don't want to shit on people who have offed themselves by suggesting there were all dumb or something, I am pretty sure they had legit reasons most of the times. idk!

  • Productivity is completely unrelated to success IMO.

    I am sorry, but I feel like we're getting stuck on words here. You know what I mean by success, don't you?

    At least for me it does, I have not achieved certain things I wanted because of lack of self-discipline and then lack of productivity. So it's real to me. But if one accepts the puddle they are in (not judging), maybe then productivity won't matter. i.e., You have to become a Jain or something (again, not judging, they probably will stay happier than me). edit: Your second point explains more, but productivity will make me happy, I know it. So, this discussion is rendered moot for me.

    even though i might

    This is embarrassing, I hate it when people don't capitalize their 'i's :')

  • And I thought I was the cynic!

    “Will power” is not a thing.

    When Free Will is not a thing, "Will power" is a joke, but we have a very strong illusion of free will and I live my life like I have free will because "I feel like it" and there is more utility on this side of the aisle.

    The “American dream” really is not accessable to everyone how it’s traditionally laid out.

    I love America as an Indian, the First and the Second Amendments, the separation of church and state, the spirit of Innovation and Science, the rebel spirit, the history (except some things of c) and the whole shebang! Gimme, some of that, please!

    I know the "American dream" isn't really accessible if you're really downtrodden, but it's a hell of a deal from where I stand. A friend of mine had something witty to say about " the Indian dream", when I asked him about it, he said "The Indian dream is to live the American Dream" lol!

  • Nice points here!

  • Can confirm, productivity tools like, "Pin on Top", "Always on Top" are absent Tiling was recently introduced And yes GNOME is better while Switching applications!

  • You know better Big Brother, you have watched a lot of folks. All Hail Big Brother :')

             The joy of “figuring it out”
      

    No absolutely not, I used to be an IT consultant, but like most people I like things to just work, and Linux has done that for many years now.

    My bad, I meant that for Linux.

    except for a classic game I still play occasionally with my wife.

    Cheers to that!

  • Windows forced me to update to a version that has advertisement in it.

    God! Tell me about it! I by mistake clicked on Upgrade to Windows 11 (I wasn't paying attention and Microsoft categorised it in bad faith) And voila, it's downloading Windows 11 now (I have paused it for 14 days) But how can I make sure that the download is cancelled, any ideas?

  • But it’s everything. The intrusion, the quasi monopoly, the shitty anti,consumer choices, all of it.

    Since either Linux or win 7 do almost everything I need, I’ll never use anything higher than win 7

    God YES! I am required to use Windows 10 or 11 rn, but I am keeping it "downgraded" as much as possible because bloated "Fat Man" won't run well and the more features there are in a certain version of Microsoft, you seem to be giving it more control over your life. That "intrusion, the quasi monopoly, the shitty anti,consumer choices" hit hard tho!

  • This happened to me when I was installing windows (on Dual Boot) I spent three. fucking. days. trying to solve an error to find out at the end that it was a different fucking error. Damn you Microsoft :')

  • Scripting stuff on Linux is relatively simple, trying to fuck about with powershell

    that is the fucking best thing about Linux, I have so many scripts and customizations, I can't even tell you!
