    Reading this comment with the assumption my wife will find it some day: Right, she doesn’t give out my number instead of hers as a contact point every time she visits a shop that asks, and certainly not because she has it memorised and it’s too much of a bother to give out her own, not at all.

    All the WhatsApp group invitations for clothing and grocery places that happen after she goes shopping are completely unrelated.

  • Does that one come with fishnets? Perchance?

  • Why does their admission sound prideful? Does anyone reading into it detect a “look at what our unreleased models can do” subtext?

  • I think I might do that too in the future. Tried it before but I wasn’t in the right head space back then.

  • Stop being edgy.

  • It’s the basic human tendency to take an unbiased ideology, broadcast an unintended interpretation to generate a following, then build a cult that puts them in power.

    The oldest trick in the book. And it sadly works, nearly every time.

  • Don’t worry guys. I don’t think it’s penful.

  • Ribbet

    Rationale: soup or the night might have ribs in it

    Edit: or whole frogs if you live in France

  • I miss this.

  • With common sense.

  • Joke’s on you bud. I use NixOS.

    Curiously enough, home-manager supports Discord.

  • Just gotta put this into context:

    They're just pzombies. Herd animals.bundles of reaction and reflex without consciousness.

    Sounds like condescending narcissist POC speak to me. No apologies.

  • We all start out that way. Not everyone is fortunate enough to grow in an environment that grants them access to education and insights into how tech works.

    If you start thinking of others as lesser just because they’re less/uneducated about something then know that someone could be thinking the same of you.

  • You almost sent me on another wiki-surfing journey. Nice try, ADHD!

  • …, but stupid is always majority.

    Until it’s not. Until there are more poor but well-educated parents who educate their children in turn.

    In Arabic, we have a word with no direct English equivalent: tarbiya (تربية). I think the closest translation might be “custodianship of upbringing,” but it describes the dynamics of learning rather than the mechanics. It’s a bidirectional process (though not everyone will admit that)—it doesn’t just teach children how to solve a specific problem; it teaches them how to develop their own way of tackling an unfamiliar one.

  • At my disgusting (in hindsight) highschool the poor got bullied. So everyone tried their best to appear "middle class". Stupid as fuck, but i heard worse stories from other schools.

    I remember being bullied and being called “the genius”, sometimes genuinely by adults, and most of the time sarcastically by other kids. To clarify, the exact alias used was “عبقرينو” (which is the Arabic name for the Disney character Gyro Gearloose), and I used to hate it. It affected my behaviour because I had to mask and adjust my image in order to avoid the moment where I answer questions so thoroughly or ask for clarifications that demonstrate genuine insight that caused my teachers to point me out as an exemplar amongst my classes, because that’s what starts the bullying cycle.

    Now here one could argue that bullying is a purely negative experience that should never ever be allowed to happen; or look at this thread and realise how much I’ve been shaped by that experience and see me smiling at this very moment as I reminisce on those days. Both views are valid, and both evoke a different perspective separated by 3 decades. But only the latter considers how life itself can be a teacher, and how it pressed an intelligent vessel into the required shape to hold wisdom.

    I do not regret or resent those experiences now. I used to, but not anymore.
