America is stupid for excessive guns. But this is stupid in the other direction. Talk about over policing. Fuck me this is stupid

Because neither of those are forced imperialist occupations.

A people and it’s government are two different things. And frequently the government does not give accurate representation of its people’s desires.

But let’s say the USA, because I assume that’s what you are insinuating by westerners, is 100x more evil than all other countries combined. Does that mean the Russian government isn’t bad? Nope. Truth doesn’t change based on the moral character of another separate unrelated entity. Even if that entity is worse and even if that worse entity is the one saying the truth.

Common sense is to lock your doors at night or when not home, and don’t take candy from strangers. It does not extend to nuanced and intricate discussions such as this. Sense needs to be applied but to insinuate that it is intuitive to the degree of common sense is a poor stance in this discussion.

Nothing as potent as what you’ve been doing.

You assume a great deal based on a smart ass quip. Go jerk off to Ayn Rand some more you autistic twat.

Google it.

They’ve conditioned him into blindly accepting and preaching the dogma.

Survivorship bias much…

Nazi has been so overused that people aren’t listening to the word now that there is a valid thing to apply it too. They assume it’s the same overblown rhetoric.

Kerfuffle Part Two: Much Ado.

No worries. Synology are so fickle, good luck.

My indexer is garbage for FLAC. Got any suggestions?

Disrespectful, no. Annoying af on a personal level, yes. If I email, it’s because I have time for that not your stupid rambling stories, I want a paper trail, and I don’t want to deal with people in conversation. I blatantly do not answer calls at work when I am emailing someone and if they ask if they can call, I tell them no and to please use email.

I can understand them calling in your case. I wouldn’t like it, but sometimes it’s just faster to talk things out. So long as you don’t get a rambler.

Yeah, fair enough. I just didn’t want to call them a country. They’re invaders committing a slow genocide of the Palestinian people.

I fucking hate Israel. They’re an abhorant infestation.

My most immature take on that whole thing is that I wish we could evacuate all the people and then nuke the everloving shit out of the land to make it uninhabitable for a few hundred years. Then let it be a weapons testing site for the world. Just take the whole fucking thing off the board.

Like I said, immature take.

I’ve been tangentially connected to that area for the better part of 20 years now. Nothing has changed for the better, Israel is worse than ever, Hamas is worse than ever. The assholes that dumped the jews there post ww2 did the whole world a disservice. That country should be Palestine, not Israel, but neither side behaves the way they should. So it’s damn near moot at this point.

Don’t listen to macho guys that say you can’t be a man if you do x/y/z. An emotionally mature and available man can enjoy anything he likes because he is secure in how he feels. When you are on the other side of things you’ll look at those macho types and see their machismo as bravado to cover what can only amount to insecurities. They are sad cases honestly and I feel pity for their situation.

Go do something that would make you emotionally uncomfortable and let yourself feel every bit of that discomfort.

Basically it takes practice and stopping yourself from stopping yourself. Putting yourself in situations to feel and then sitting with the feeling instead of running from it. Contemplate it, think about it, let it be part of you.

And if you can, find a friend that’s emotional aware and available as a role model to emulate.

For your kids, let them feel their feelings and do your best to not invalidate those feelings. Feelings are valid, it’s how we handle them that makes or breaks us. It’s fine to feel anger and sadness just as it’s fine to feel happiness and joy, but we don’t lash out in anger, and we don’t let our sadness wash us away.

I had a big long thing typed out, but I erased a lot and I think this is the core of it.

A lot of that comes down to training. Not every product can be boiled down to phone app simplicity. I mean that being said though, I do think Sharepoint could use a much clearer interface overall. I think MS is working on the consistency part but with so many moving parts it feels chaotic at times. But I’ve seen things becoming clearer and more cohesive over the last few years. It’s still light years ahead of a platform like GCP though. That thing is a nightmare in digital.

See in the case of those people their workflow wasn’t taken into consideration before adoption. It’s definitely not a fit for everyone. But that amount of paper waste is insane. If the docs are already digital, then the signatures and stamps should be digital as well. If the docs are all hardcopies, then sharepoint shouldn’t have been used except as an upload point.
