Every now and then I see a parent having a tender moment with their child and I smile. I then reflect on whether my vasectomy/shirk of parenthood was the right choice.
I always come to the conclusion that it was. Perhaps when I'm older I will feel differently but I just can't imagine that in my life for a long time.
[...] has no place in education other than its historic significance to the art of literature.
I don't think it belongs as art in literature. It's garbage, jumbled, mad texts. I'd say it belongs in studies of mythology or the analysis of our frail human minds to accept such idiocy for so long and so deeply.
Not to mention the other problematic ones that actively discourage subtlety in favor of dogma. It's not automatically wrong if you covet something. Additionally, your parents earn your honor and respect, they shouldn't be granted it unconditionally.
Very cogent. Thank you for voicing this.
I would seriously consider something like this since my computing job requires me to stare at a light bulb all day. Perhaps there's a demographic that would spring for this in the same way there is for quality chairs.
TIL about the Great Filter. Thanks for the rabbit hole!
Oh yay! Happy times. The fdroid version doesn't have that yet but I look forward to the update.
It is way way lighter weight and is overall a better experience. I use osmand for routing because the voice is much better tuned (OM just says barely-useful things like "turn left" instead of "turn left at Broadway". I think both have their uses. If the voice was better I would use OM exclusively.
"Less traumatic than violent, ad-hoc suicide" perhaps?
I've been slowly trying thumbkey but seem to be struggling to get to the point where I feel comfortable using it over qwerty. I love the concept as I also hate using qwerty.... Yet I still seem more accurate using the crutch of autocorrect. With thumbkey I have to go back and correct more than I thought I would. I can kinda touch-type at a decent rate now but I definitely need more practice.
All of this is to ask: is there a point where I will be so comfortable as to not need to fear misspelling something without this crutch of autocorrect?
Ah. I usually conflate the two under "internet archive".
