I agree, this is probably the best approach. Stop, breathe, apply critical thinking and give it some time to process the information and see how it fits into the big picture. You need to detach yourself emotionally from the issue you'r

Let the politicians play politics. It's bad for business when companies decide to do that. Namecheap might have only a handful of Russian customers to afford to do that, but this won't affect just them. It will affect everyone els

It's more likely that you are being naive, to be politically correct. There hasn't been a single time of crisis in the recorded history where donations hadn't been stolen (and sometimes victims even being abused and exploited

I don't see a problem with Finland joining NATO on a reciprocal basis; as long as Russia can set up a military base on Cuba. Of course the United States will start a world war before they allow that to happen, but then we can't re

If you want a short summary of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, I suggest this presentation/speech by John Mearsheimer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4 - he explains it really well.

I would be very surprised if this happened. This would mean that European economies won't get their invested money back and also won't be able to pay for services. Extremely highly unlikely. Even if Europe replaces Russian LNG wit

That is exactly my point; you don't dig your own grave. Sanctions are only affective when it hurts someone else, not you. That however proves to be a difficult task in a globalised world.

Probably for the same reason they didn't exclude Five Eyes from SWIFT when they invaded Yugoslavia, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria and killed over 1,500,000 people in just over twenty years...lol nah it's about money. They&#x2

The only reason why there isn't a NATO base in Ukraine is because Russia has taken measures to make sure that doesn't happen. NATO pushed you into a war by installing a puppet regime, publicly speculating about Ukraine joining NAT

Yes the "rest" of the world knows the "truth". It's just a matter of defining what "the rest" and "truth" mean. In the context of the modern Axis of Evil also known as Five Eyes the "truth&q

How do you comment your NATO countries invading half of Middle East and killing 1.5mil people in just 20 years so that your economy could prosper? Did you consider sanctions then?

There's being professional and unprofessional in a business environment. Those are the only two choices you have.

All hands: no Everything else: yes It's rude otherwise. I don't like attention so much that I only have a few pictures of myself as a child, none as an adult. But you have to put your preferences aside when it comes to business an

This might come as a shock to a lot of people, but not everyone's goal in life is to be rich.

I think that's fairly normal. When you learn a concept in a language it's difficult to convey it in a foreign language if you don't have the vocabulary, even if you're a native speaker. That happens to me all the time.

I had to manage email infrastructure for years as part of my job and I really don't see how running your own email server can be a good idea for anyone. Setting it up superficially might be a quick and easy task but maintaining it stab

Ah yes, "self-improvement": - watching videos as 2x the speed - speedreading - listening to audiobook while doing chores I'm sure there's plenty more I'm forgetting here.

I was being sarcastic. Not only is it not easy, it is impossible! There is no such thing as distinguishing a cyber attack of any kind between a state-sponsored and independent-sponsored. This move by Apple is bizarre to say the least.

"If Apple discovers activity consistent with a state-sponsored attack" I am really interested in understanding more about a "state-sponsored attack" as someone who works in Ops and has experience in CyberSec. All these y

The greatest misconception about life is that you are ought to "achieve" something. You're not. Do what you want, not what you ought to do.

Thanks for the suggestions, these all look good!

Excellent, thank you! I've already played Machinarium and absolutely loved it but I've wishlisted the other two. Great suggestions!

That's why I mostly play point&click adventure/rpg games and text adventures, because that genre can't really survive without a good story. I'm rarely disappointed and the games cost a fraction of what you would pay

I recently bought a Samsung 4K TV and it came with a "free tv" service (that's also crammed with ads). It's intrusive, it auto-plays and can't be disabled and I just don't want it. I've never owned a TV as

I understand how hard it must be wanting to seek help but at the same time trying to avoid being falsely stigmatised. I sympathise with you because I can relate, but that's the world we live in. Downvotes tell you all you really need t
