    No free feet pics.

    Not that anyone would pay for mine. At least I don’t think so? Not that there’s anything wrong with my feet, they’re clean enough, and I have all my toes and toenails (although, I do need to cut my nails), and the skin isn’t leprotic or anything. It’s just that I’m not someone who would expect that anyone would be interested in my feet. Maybe because I’m not interested in feet? Is it just projection? Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with people who find feet interesting, or even… erotic? They’re harmless, it’s just not my thing.



  • It’s only a problem for our species. And, only for future potential members of our species. The declining birth rate isn’t going to hurt anyone alive today. Not even billionaires, not in any way that matters.

    Overall, the Earth would be much happier and peaceful without us. We’re not special, we’re just selfish.

    Finally, probably, even in the worst human-caused catastrophe, at least some pockets of humanity would survive. Again, though, not that it really matters.

    TLDR; Don’t worry about it. It’s no one’s problem to solve. We didn’t ask to be born, and none of us owe our species anything.



  • Most holiday celebrations stop dead the day after. Halloween decorations are taken down, we go back to normal meals after the Thanksgiving leftovers are gone, Christmas music is gone from public spaces, New Year’s is over on the second, once the hangover is gone. Easter doesn’t even last a whole day, and the majority of us don’t really celebrate Valentine’s day.

    So, why can’t people stop setting off fucking fireworks on July 5th? I swear to god, these assholes… days before and weeks after. Can it just please be one day?







  • The one UI thing I really miss from windows is the BIG file preview in the file manager. Text files, PDFs, images, spreadsheets, etc. It’s nice to have a big window where I can see the contents right there in file manager when I’m looking for a file. When it exists in Mint, for instance in some cases with images, the image is too small to be of use. If that would cost performance, HDD space, etc., then make it optional, and warn the user.

    Not, mind you, that I feel I have any space to complain, Mint is great, and I’m happy to have it. I’m not ungrateful at all.








  • This is akin to the nature vs. nurture debate–that is, how much of one’s personality is due to nature or to the people who raised them and the environment they grew up in? As the article I linked states, it far messier than the simple title implies.

    Kids are not born as identical blank slates, they come straight into the world with their own set of personality traits that are essentially “hard wired”.

    So, the answer is, you do the best you can, and hope for the best. There are no guarantees that raising your kid a certain way will result in a “good” kid. And, “good” kids can come from shitty upbringings.

    I have two sisters and a brother, we were all raised by the same parents in the same house, together. Our parents loved us and did their best to raise us, which was pretty damn good. However, we are all as different from each other as we could be. In the past I’ve described us as the four corners of a world map–which, when the corners come together, make a globe.
