I never used it, but damn are people here judgy. I don’t understand how it’s a personal insult if someone used it in the way you’re describing. As long as your actual thoughts and emotions are what you send, who cares you used a tool to express them.
Anxiety is rough. I wish people were more understanding.
I love you for that joke.
There’s dozens of them i tell you! Dozens!
This is my one obsession. Fear of how we can’t possibly all be employed, because of automation, and how the resources and power will keep concentrating in the hands of those who own the automation. I’ve had this argument with friends that aren’t as left leaning as me, and what i’m told over and over again is that i just lack the vision. That this has been a scare since forever, and yet look at how new jobs keep popping up. “There’ll be jobs you can’t even imagine right now”, they say. “Fearmongers like you have been around since forever”. “Employment is actually going up”.
In my mind though, we’re like the horses when the engine was invented.
Ah yes just rolls off the tongue. Totally the same as, an increment of one is equal in both.
Been working in COBOL for a decade and this is all true.
I’m lucky. I personally enjoy it. But i can totally see how it’s an absolute nightmare for most people.
Anastasia’s Kidney Stones.
Maybe i should go with the fancy medical term? Anastasia’s Nephrolithiasis. Could work for black metal too.
It’s good to ask the question.
The problem is when they refuse to accept the answer.
Here in Romania, we’re exactly like the Poles. There’s deep, deep national trauma related to Russia ( even before the USSR ).
However, it’s not the same everywhere in the former soviet block, places like Bulgaria, Hungary or Slovakia are far more torn on the issue.
People who grow up almost anywhere else on earth can also tell how big something is based on their experience with metric. That’s not something inherently based on the imperial system. The same way you go “oh that’s about 3 feet”, we go “oh that’s about 2 meters”.
And of course, switching systems overnight is insane, people are used to imperial, you’re right. But at the very least do what Britain did, and have both systems in parallel at the same time, everywhere. And in time, people would get used to metric too.
Nono, you’re fine doing that, just make sure you’re bleeding hard enough so that the manure can’t get in the bloodstream.
We wouldn’t mind so much if your system wasn’t so damn arbitrary, and if you weren’t literally the only country on earth to refuse to come together with the rest of us.
For the record, the OP picture is real, i’ve seen it since i was a kid here in Romania.
