This is a quite delayed response, but it was essentially your second question. I went with friends who watched a lot of the MCU movies and they were trying to explain everything to me in real time. I eventually just asked them to save their breath because the backstory was so long. I did enjoy the spectacle of the movie, though the impact was lost on me.

I only saw Endgame and I thought it was okay. So I would say it’s my least favorite and that’s because it’s the only one I’ve seen. I guess it’s also my favorite.

In medicine I was taught a number of times that diverse addiction disorders are largely defined one thing: persistence of a behavior despite negative consequences. An addendum is difficulty in cessation of the behavior.

Okay, but what about people who have jobs where you really cannot tolerate a 1 hour wake up window? I hope you can realize you are in a privileged position to be able to have this kind of schedule and that this is really not possible for the vast majority of people.

Trazadone?

What do you mean by facts? How is female defined by you? Because I doubt you genetically test for XX chromosomes before you say female, right?

I think there are plenty of words that can be factual, but also unkind. And that is all that this is about. I would at the very least find it odd if someone used “human specimen” instead of calling me a man, though it is factual. I think trying to use the words that describe people the way they see themselves instead of hanging onto some logical ideal is a normal transition languages make over time and is a kinder way to be.

When I was using Librewolf maybe 4 years ago, it was never up to date with Firefox. I thought it could be a potential security risk, sometimes it took months to incorporate Firefox security updates. Has that improved recently?

You want them to live

I think this is totally reasonable, and a very forward thinking imagining of what the future of the internet could be like. I just thought that the analogy you made in the previous comment was a good one to poke fun at.

I like the idea of being able to run elasticsearch/whatever on a local copy of the full text of all of your bookmarks.

It’s like having your books open, with a mark in the book for the page. A book mark, if you will

Everyone, you all, y’all

For you, I suggest sticking to Discord. I am of the mind that your effort should be focused on your community instead of enforcing a FOSS philosophy upon a group that may not have any interest in doing so.

If you are creating a new community, this is a different conversation, of course.

I love gritty. I grew up in Seattle and found the whole Kraken logo and team name were just so uninspiring. Especially when the Flyers just went all in on just being cool as hell with Gritty. Fortunately I was already a Canes fan so the boring Kraken thing doesn’t bother me at all

I’m a big fan of the weather app wX for US people. It is a no-frills NWS data explorer, with a great radar and widget. It doesn’t have the look of a modern app, persay, but the data are all there and very clear. (To get to the meteogram, long press on the radar widget on the home screen. I found this by accident, but am very happy I did.)

I think that one is the only logo with any soul to it. The rest are so flat! I like the old opensuse logo, but I get that it doesn’t fit with the rest.

Honestly? Fair point. I find it hard to not extend this to animals but it most likely isn’t something animals consider at all. I mean, dogs likely all have William’s Syndrome, so they are happy with how we treat them in most scenarios. But owning animals I think leads to a lot of secondary animal cruelty caused by breeders and abandoned pets.

Part of how I think about this is that the demand people have for owning animals creates the demand for breeders to make them. Simply not wanting pets would doom less to this fate.

Of course, this perspective is too reductive to capture what’s really going on in reality. But I suspect it could prevent a good bit of animal harm.
