Sounds like you were upset that you had a job looking at a door, and took it out on people.

I'm working my way through the HandsOnRust book that guides you through creating a simple roguelike using Rust and Legion ECS. It's a really enjoyable experience so far, and I'm looking towards trying out Bevy ECS afterwards

I made a FB account to change a client's Page settings, and now I pretty regularly get emails from FB along the lines of "Having trouble signing into your account?" because there's been tons of failed repeated logins. I

Sorry, the assumption I left out is that whoever is running the keylogger would see you logging into a "valuable" account during their logging and then try to access it. Since it'd be a new account with nothing on it, there&#

I think if I were concerned, I'd try creating a honeypot account on some service that notifies me when someone new logs in (like google). Then I'd log into that account sometimes while playing the game and monitor it for any new l

I actually just switched all our default search engines to Bing yesterday. Google is showing "Sponsors" that link directly to a full screen page with tons of warnings telling you to call some 800 number so you can get scammed. A

I came across this a few months ago (several ads offering their own downloads for blender from copycat sites). All their downloads were hosted on GitHub and had known viruses when uploaded to VirusTotal. I reported 3 of them to GitHub, but

I wonder how common it is for people taking SSRI medications to drink ayahuasca, unaware that SSRIs and MAOIs are a bad combo.

Another problem with AA is you don't know who is there voluntarily trying to get better, and who is there because they're a physically abusive alcoholic that was court-ordered to be there. There was also an uncomfortable amount of

On mobile, I usually exit the site if a cookie banner pops up. On desktop, I'll try disabling javascript. If that doesn't work, I'll try reader mode. If those don't work, I exit the site. My personal opinion is that the

We had two cats, a tortoise-shell and a tabby. The tortoise-shell would come running when it was time for dinner, and the tabby would take his time. Once, I noticed that the tortoise-shell kept switching back and forth between dishes until

> People need a better life so they don't get depressed in the first place. You know, I think I actually agree with you on that point, despite the rest of your post. I won't address the rest of what you said, because it'd

As someone who slipped into depression ~15 years ago and has had limited success pulling out of it, I would definitely consider it to be an altered state of consciousness. I remember what I used to be like before, and how I used to behave,

I found Common Sense Skeptic's series more enjoyable. Thunderf00t's videos all seem to assume you haven't seen any of his other videos on the subject, and as a result end up being mostly repetitions of the same talking points

> I feel like I'm encountering more and more sites and articles where I can't seem to find the date. I think this is referred to as "Evergreen Content", and is encouraged by marketing/SEO companies.

I also noticed that, and gave up reading at that point. Maybe I'm cynical, but when people can't do the basic minimum to be understood... I don't feel any obligation to understand them.

That seems like a reasonable explanation to me, but to just give a reference for my train of thought... I was thinking of Macquarie Island, which has a weird history of animal/pest control. Rodents were introduced to the island, then c

Are pet cats not considered a human change to the environment? Feral cat colonies are an entirely different ecosystem than pet cats, from what I can gather. Edit: Also, I can understand your sentiment for not wanting to have an indoor cat.

I was kinda hoping this comment would spur some discussion (it was late though). My opinions in this regard aren't concrete. I guess it is kinda hard/pointless to argue against anecdotal evidence. If I were to rephrase everything

Maybe not a popular opinion, but: Encourage your neighbors to call the police when things happen. Call them yourself, too. I lived in a bad neighborhood for about 20 years, and have had family living in the "same" bad neighborhood
