The poor have plenty of empathy, even more so than most. It just takes the back seat when priorities are to simply put food on the table the next day.

Poverty brain is weird. All mental strength is spent on ensuring one’s own survival. And in this regard, acting on empathy comes with a cost. If not financial, it takes your focus away from your own needs. And those needs are so severe that every ounce of resources, monetary or mental, is spent wrestling against one’s own impending ruin.

Get rid of stuff you don’t need.

Yes, you might save 20 bucks in five years by saving it, but you’d have to pay loads more than 20 bucks to store that thing somewhere.

Also that “sparks joy”-lady has a point.

Alright, I will spell it out for you then:

• You show up with no post or comment history.
• You make a claim that is statistically unlikely.
• Your account is three days old.

It is therefore easy to presume that you are lying.

I have placed similar mod notices on other threads that share similar OP traits.

My dad was a dairy farmer. While I ended up in IT, a field he knew nothing about, he supported me the entire way. He did not understand my field of interest beyond the fact it was something I was interested in.

On the flip side, everything I know about machine nery maintenance and repair I have from him. In my current field (an odd mix of It, industrial robotics and heavy machinery… On ships), this background works well, as it gives me the diverse background needed for such a diverse work place.

I don’t think there are anyone else in the company who can do VLAN and LACP trunks AND troubleshoot misbehaving hydraulics.

No. It’s a perfectly natural reaction.

Having said that, I think you should get back behind the wheel ASAP.

• I have two friends, both of whom were in accidents. One of them pressured himself into driving again shortly after to get past the PTSD. The other didn’t. Guess which one never drove again.
• When I had just gotten my driver’s license I did not feel properly safe or in control either. It’s a habitual thing: The more you drive, the better you get at it, and with time the nervousness and uncertainty fades.

You don’t Need to drive again. But I think you should face your fear and try to move past the current trauma. Simply because being able to drive is useful. After than that, of you don’t really need to drive anywhere, just don’t.

Yeah, trends in politics and culture really shafted the brand.

• Nothing wrong about red hats if it wasn’t for Maga.
• Nothing wrong with fedoras if it wasn’t for 4chan incels 15 years ago.

Now I’m curious if it’d be possible to rebrand to GreenBeanie. It has a nice ring to it.

between France and Poland

Not if they have a say in the matter.

Partially because both of those agree on one thing and one thing only: There’s only one Korea. Recognizing one implies that they don’t recognize the other.

Having said that, some countries have managed, through some maneuvering and red tape, to have formal relations with both.

Boycott RHEL!

wait, what? Really? Oh…

This just in: This may not be related to RHEL

Some of them want the be abused

Really? Name the seven seas of the world.

Am I too stupid to understand the question, or is it just poorly worded?

Depends on the setting.

• A restaurant? Maybe a beer or a glass of wine with the food. Individual preference of beverage decides - Doesn’t have to be alcohol.
• A bar? Yup.
• Going for a walk? I want to see someone doing shots while strolling in an increasingly wavering line.

The only reason why I’m polite to ChatGPT is because it’s an habit when writing something for someone else. It’s a habit I prefer to stay, and since LLMs don’t care, there’s no reason to change it up.

Does Kickass count?

Does he mean the house in the house, or the house-house, though?
