They’re not thinking. They’re feeling. It’s a world of emotions.

All of us do that sometimes. Unfortunately, some people do it when stakes are high like elections, rather than fairly harmless emotional choices like “I want the 1d12 sword instead of 2d6 because the 12 feels bigger”

I think it depends on how often they’re coming up with dubious takes, and how often there are repeats.

Like if you have to explain that gay people are just trying to live life, and that’s fixing misinformation they got as a youth, fine. Good, even. But if you have that talk and then have to have to again a month later because they “forgot” or picked up more bad ideas? Concerning.

Friend of a friend was always getting talks to patch up his dicey world view, but then he’d go back to the same YouTube or shitty friends and come back two weeks later with a fresh batch of bad ideas. Really have to get to the root of the problem

This is a pretty interesting link. I knew the low literacy rate fact before, but from a different source.

The economic cost of low literacy in the U.S. is estimated at $2.2 trillion annually due to productivity losses.

Filing this under “conservatives are so stupid. so fucking stupid.”. they want to save money by gutting education and that’s just ass-backwards.

Feels like they should be able to view the software and hardware controlling the odometer, and if it’s doing anything suspicious.

I wonder if they’ll actually do anything if they find Tesla is doing fraud. Feel like everyone who OK’d the decision should be barred from working in the industry for life, and made to forfeit everything they gained while doing the fraud.

While I’m making magical wishes, I’d also like Musk and all of his followers to choke to death.

Reddit is owned and operated by assholes. Don’t even try to use it.

I was hoping you had some insight and revelations about how to use Finder.

Please. Elaborate.

People that work at microsoft could stop this. With means gentler than “Crack open the CEO’s skull with a hammer”, too.

It’s too bad there’s not a strong religious left that was into, like, flipping over their tables and beating these guys with whips.

Zuckerberg put in his will “Anyone who kills me gets a billion dollars”. Bold move, but apparently legal!

If those two shitheads said we should drink more water I’d check with other sources first.

Fuck them. I hope they both die for what they’ve done

In another thread someone was saying that conservatives follow a worldview of “whatever works for me right now”. There’s no internal consistency or facts. This explains a lot. It looks a lot like being stupid, but i think is something slightly different

You shouldn’t do the George W Bush “Believe the same thing on Monday as Wednesday, no matter what happens Tuesday” thing, no. But you should ideally have some underlying belief system that’s more sophisticated than “What is best for me right now?”

The whole “the only moral abortion is my abortion” thing is understandable but also kind of reprehensible. People will make a big stink about how abortion is murder, only horrible people do it because they suck at life. And then they have a pregnancy, and they’re like “oh well this is different.” If you’re not going to reconcile those, you’re shit. You can say “I was wrong, and the people I was shitting on were in positions like I am now. I didn’t understand, and now I do. I was wrong.”

You’re not required by cosmic forces to defend past beliefs, but a decent person can acknowledge where and why they changed.

Someone elsewhere on lemmy made the argument that conservatives essentially live in the eternal now. Any position is at that moment evaluated on if it’s good for them/their-group or not. Past responses don’t matter. Internal consistency doesn’t matter. It’s just “is this good for me right now?”

They’re trash people, essentially.

That’s excessive for typical people. The flowers and chocolate are going to look like you’re expressing romantic interest, which is inappropriate to do to a child.

Everyone involved in this decision should be shot.

What happened to all the republicans crying about “government shouldn’t be picking winners and losers”? Oh right, they’re hypocritical little shits that should be in the ground.

So tired of everything trash because like a third of the country has less emotional maturity than a toddler.

Conservatism isn’t rational. It is fear and hate. It’s a child slamming their head into the floor sobbing because their teddy bear is wearing the wrong shirt.

They should not be allowed to make decisions of any import.

Sidebar defaults are bad. There’s no home directory. How do you get to your home directory? Cmd+shift+H, but can you get there without that special shortcut? You can’t see the file system’s structure in Finder. The GUI doesn’t have a way to go “up” in the directory structure. I don’t think you can do it in the GUI alone.

It won’t let you see stuff in like \tmp\ without a fight, too. I don’t know how to open stuff in places like that without cd’ing to the location in the terminal, and doing open . in the desired directory.

The list view is the least bad, but it gets unwieldy if your directories are deeply nested. It’s also bad if you started in the middle of the tree and want to go up. Gallery and column view are really bad for anything non trivial.

I often want to see the entire file path, and it really doesn’t want to cooperate. If I do find the file I’m looking for, and want the full path, it doesn’t want to give it. I don’t even know if there is a way to get it. Other than like cmd+clicking -> “new iterm2 tab here” -> pwd, which is not really that helpful of Finder.

Contrast with windows’ default explorer. It’s not perfect and I think windows11 made it worse, but still. Open it up, there’s the “my pc”, click through to my user directory, music, some album, then i can click the top thing and get the path. I can also see the whole tree on the left.

Whatever I was using in Mint was similar to windows’ Explorer. Had no complaints about it.

I guess most everyone else that works at microsoft is cool with this.
