Around 5 years into it is when I felt like I finally hit my stride. Maybe it was because she went to kindergarten.

I watched my mom and dad grow old, not sure about up.

What I was taught was try to take their conclusion and see how hard it is to maintain it. For example if someone were to argue with me about the truth of their particular branch of Christianity I should do is show how many assumptions I need to make to get to it. I.e. there is a god, this God is personal, this God favors human life, this God choose one particular tribe, this God waited all that time to send his son down…

Leather ones you can wipe down with a rag and water. Canvas ones just go in the wash and you can air dry.

Generally speaking men pants are not form fitting.

I buy my clothing at Goodwill because Walmart over charges.

You guys aren’t washing your belts?

Alright.

I ended up losing a friend because of reddit. They found it and just morphed from cheerful to always in a bad mood. Occasionally picking arguments with me from stuff they had seen on that site. At one point I just told them to stop going there, that they were becoming a nasty person because of it. She said she did but I didn’t believe her.

Early march 2020 I am dealing with the lockdown and watching my entire life deathspiral. My toddler won’t wear a mask, her older sister is crying because she misses her friends at school, I have no idea if I will have a job next week, and my wife is a nurse going into NYC hospital every day. All this going on and my friend sends me an email demanding I get her pictures of the corona beer public burnings going on. That she knows for a fact are happening because she read it on reddit.

I called her and I won’t repeat what I said because I am highly confident it would get me in trouble with LEOs. Not a “hey I know you have small children and your wife works in a hospital in the hardest hit city in the US, are you okay? Is there anything I can do to help?”. No, just an email trying to make fun of the people in my country.

It varied for me. For example I lurked on /r/watches and would watch as the group mind ripped to shreds anyone who dared showing a digital that wasn’t Casio or a fashion watch. /R/PLC stayed good the whole time. I guess because we had a common enemy, everyone else in the universe.

We just want to give our car “owners” a sense of accomplishment.

I am never going to give up my boring 2008 Honda civic. I will just repair it until I die. Cars sucked when I was a kid and they suck now. The only things that changed

• The radio is a distracting touchscreen
• The keys are confusing
• They catch on fire from battery problems
• The extended warranty is getting more extended and non-optional
• You can’t just buy 3rd party parts or fix it yourself or bring it to the mechanic of your choice.

The future of cars is the apple model. Except generally speaking apple products work. It would be one thing if they were putting out cars that had triple the fuel efficiency.

It is like a manager at an oil company just torching the wells or a store owner closing the doors.

I had a Twitter account for about a week that I posted with, after that I made a new one and never posted. The most toxic disgusting social media site I have ever been on. The one and only good thing about it was how the local governments where I lived used to make all announcements with it. I plan to bring my kids to the reading event at the library, better check Twitter. Oh it got moved an hour later. Also the local mass transit system used it.

As a former student now practicing engineer this habit never gets broken. All of us accept cargo cult computing to one extent or another. It sucks.

Usually the engineers with the least tolerance for it do better but only in the long run. In the short run they are yelled at for holding back projects.

Take the US for example with crippling student loan debt.

Answer the question.

I have repeatedly asked you. I am asking again right here right now.
