Who is stopping you from taking a break? My hot take is just a general recommendation, especially for people you love.

1. I like useful delusions.
2. If you are optimistic for others you ancourage them to do stuf. Doing some stuff that may not work is 100000% better than watching Netflix/TV. Especially in current nihilistic social climate.
3. Pessimist and optimist are both right (not my quote)
4. Example: Pessimist: I will not get this job -> So I will not even apply -> 0% chance of getting a job -> 100% correct Optimist: I will get this job -> I apply and prepare -> 20% chance of getting this job -> 20% correct But who cares if you are correct. What matters is taking a chance. This comes way more useful if you are optimistic every day. So you apply for a job whenever there is a chance. And if you apply for 10 jobs from initial 20% you get 89% chance to get a good job.

Being naive is not the same as being optimistic.

Realists are just pessimists.

You should be an optimist even if you are faking it. To lift others up.

Actually it is. New users may join wrong inactive community.

I vote for closing.

Thank you!

Also changing diapers is not hard at all. You get used to it after second change. It becomes boring task you do not think about - like going to the toilet yourself.

I could not agree more about my wife! She is totally awesome and I really love spending time with her. We are constantly goofing arround. I had a crush on her since we have been 14 and started dating. Now 10 years together we are married and got our first kid. I could not be happier.

She is just changing diapers right now and I am thinking how lucky I am to have her.

I also believe actively trying to have positive/wholesome view on a world helps a lot.

This is why I really like this community.

One should not use boolean just because variable has only two states.

I believe when you use boolean when enum should be used is called "boolean blindness".

Eg: isFemale instead of enum Sex {MALE;FEMALE} It also gives you an option to simply extend code if requirements change and there are more than two options.

What? Weird! This is against what this organization is supposed to represent. Sad.

TLDR: Scouts are about nature AND religion. Not just nature. There are many organisations that are just about nature. Feel free to join them.

Why should they not discriminate against atheists?

For real. Just because you believe it is about nature? Scout organizations are clearly about nature AND religion.

Join an organization that is just about nature.

In my country we have two strong scout organisations. One religious and one not. Religious one focused more on a personal growth and the other one more on nature skills. (Well some of my friends in religious one were atheists they just had to practice the same activities)

Churches do not accept atheists. Chess clubs discriminate against non chess players.

But if they would include non chess players, chess clubs would have no meaning.

One can see you do not hold religions in high regard, but please allow people with the same interests and believes to meet and express themselves together in a peaceful manner.

Yep. Same here :)

Not recently. But few rules I collected/made up through years, that are quite usefull to me:

1. Just be nice to people. It is free.
2. Most issues can be talk through. Especially with your SO talk about every bad feeling you have.
3. Use pen and paper when solving hard (personal) issues.
4. Really try to be a good person.
5. Do not drink, smoke. It does you no good.
6. Do not play games in relationships. Always speak your mind, but always sugarcoat it. Especially sugar coat it to the people you love - you do not want them to feel bad or lose passion after critique.
7. Be passionate and notice and be interested in passions of others.
8. People are very deep get to know them.
9. Find a deeper meaning. Can be religious or philosophic, also here you can help yourself with a pen and paper.
10. You can decide what personality/character you have, but you have to work to get there. (Eg. You do not have to be grumpy, you can be nice,...)
11. Make yourself be good with kids. They will teach you a lot.
12. Be optimistic (but not naive). It is actually more helpful to leave life that way. Pessimists/realists are more correct. But correct is not useful. If you say "I will fail this exam anyway" and do not study you are 100% correct, but if believe you will pass it and study - you have at least some chances to pass it.
13. When people ask you "how are you?" Say "Excellent!" instead of "Fine." And then make up a reason to why (eg "It is a very lovely morning!"). First you did not know how you felt anyway and will make yourself actually feel excellent, you will lighten everyone's mood and if you are creative your response can be a great conversation starter.

I used word "personally". I just added European for a context. I know a lot of Europeans know a lot of stuff. I myself just do not know a lot of stuff.

(And yes I know I could probably express myself better. I have never been good with English.)

I knew it is considered racist - and would be considered racist also in Europe. I just did not know why. I believed reason for it being racist came from american history. This is why I asked Americans.

I believe it is very well explained in the comments.

Yes. How did you know. 🤦‍♂️ I genuinely wanted to know why is this act considered racist. And got explained very well in the comments - no thanks to you.

Nahh... May be true in other cases (in extremes you have everything). But not in this case. As have others explained due to historical use of this act, the act itself is offensive.

Like using swastika as an ancient symbol of sun. People will perceive it as nazi symbol no matter what are your intentions.

Thank you! That helped a lot to expand knowledge of my ignorant ass :)

Well thank you! I can see there is much more to it than just "coloring your face to match skin tone of character you are trying to represent". The coloring itself has been historically used as a racist act.

So I get it now. My question now reads as "What is wrong with swastika - old symbol for sun" or something like that.

Good for you. Or something...

I hope you feel good about yourself. Knowing stuff and all. God forbid you share your knowledge with us who know nothing. /s
