Ayup - and the article's title contains neither an indication about life or death... that was my original point.

Nah, there's a fair bit of legitimacy in wanting to minimize how often you pull out your phone. If you can't ignore notifications (i.e. devops) it's nice to be able to check them without getting the full device out.

I think, deep down, we're all leekspin aficionados.

Those are very fair objections and that video isn't perfect - I was only objecting to your apparent refusal to consume a video. A lot of content these days is produced in video form so it's not reasonable to reject an argument based on media - some topics just aren't well expressed in a written form.

But, TL;DR I wasn't criticizing your opinion or decision - just the common response of rejecting something based on the media it's presented in.

Not everything needs a comment - knowing when comments add value is the key... "what" vs "why" is usually a good indicator but some code just doesn't need a comment.

1 o'clock and 10 o'clock are the the wrong angles.

Is this a British wording thing? Because in North America the sentence I gave absolutely can be a headline.

I know you're being sarcastic but have people really become so fucking self interested that they've lost sight of the fact that the people around you doing well is of benefit to you? It feels fucking insane how demonized it is to want your neighbors to have a fair shot at life as well

Sorry, the technology that is focused on using a publicly available block chain is being favored in building privacy options? I could definitely build some privacy tooling that incorporates the block chain but why the fuck would you ever chose to do it?

Oh gosh, sixteen months in prison... their wrists have been so thoroughly slapped.

"James Smith found dead from overdose at 27" - "at age" very much doesn't mean "definitely alive".

There is - socialist economic policies that do work.

The problem is that whenever people ask for those they get centrist neoliberal economic policies.

Bold of you to assume most of us could afford or would choose to have children in this fucked up world.

Neoliberalism (what Regean spearheaded) crushes the common man and its widespread embrace has deprived people of the ability to hope for stuff like a house or the ability to afford a family. People are struggling and want change - centrists are failing to deliver that.

One thing to observe is that in areas where true left wing governments hold sway (like Spain) they're thriving. But yeah, disappointing centrists marauding as liberals (like Starmer) underdeliver and then get extremist right wingers elected.

Fucking hell whenever an article is talking about Carter these days their title should be required to clarify if he just died. Especially when offering a retrospective.

I can build that for him for a cool 250 billion. I'm willing to guarantee 0% penetration of short range rockets launched by Hezbollah from anywhere in Lebanon.

I don't want to alarm you but posting this comment negatively impacted your KPIs. I'm afraid you're endangering that two cent annual raise we'd discussed in our mid year meeting. Keep your eyes on your S.M.A.R.T. goals!

Mashed potatoes are not a suppository and I refuse to compromise on that.

"They're not leaving. They're just heading to my next rally and making sure they get good seats."

Probably what this clown's narcissism is feeding his brain.

I'm not watching your YouTube video. if you can't articulate a compelling reason, just say so.

What absolutely trash reasoning. "Please type up a compelling reason just for me, I don't want to watch a well researched and produced discussion on the topic." It's bordering on sealioning.
