Death is not unexpected on whether it will happen, but when. Everyone dies, but you might be going to work one day and you die because of a moron burning a red light, or you might ne the healthiest person and get an incurable cancer, or people die from random hearth attack.

That's not true, "retarded" (from the latin term for delay) was intially used as a medical term to someone with lower cognitive abilities, not an insult per se. but like other similar terms (such as "cretin") it was eventually used more as an insult, until it was considered offensive by most and only the offensive meaning remained in the common speech.

That is a very healthy way to look up to it, good luck!

It depends on the amount of time, but if they don't even have the time for a courtesy reply like "I'll get to you in a couple of days", or "please contact me in .. days and I'll be able to help you", they either don't care or are too unorganized to bother

KeePass2 as a pasword manager. Less convenient than online, but so much safer, there's also Kee, a browser extensions that connects to the database locally and autofill passwords in sites

I mean, this is likely an unedited picture taken with a different camera, I don't think it's reflective of the real picture we'll get in the final show

I just finished Lost for the first time, and now I'm frantically looking to answers on things that where left untold. Turns out, if you follow carefully all the episodes and the clues, you get all the answers you are going to get, and the rest is intentionally left to speculation. Which is so good and so bad at the same time

Sometimes I do, when I have particularly funny and enjoyable conversation with my friends, or ones with my SO that become important for our relationship, but I find myself doing it less and less, don't really know why.

I don't know how military trials are usually held in modern navies (where Star Trek obviously take ispiration from) but arranging Piker vs Picard is not only an asshole move (for the two, not only for Data) but also a clear conflict of interests and there's no way the judge gets a fair representation of both sides.

Also, this episode has a very good theme, but onestly falls flat for a very simple reason: Data is already a starfleet member, he presumably applied to starfleet academy, graduated and got enrolled on a ship. He is part of a crew, has had promotions and is capable of taking command. Doesn't that mean he is already recognized as a sentient being? Or do they give ranks to computers as well?

The dark is good, it's your creepy but cozy friend. Every day, before going to sleep, I get outside for a couple of minutes and enjoy the silent darkness, it's like it washes the problems away like a wave.

I had low expextationa for the movie but man whas it disappointing. More cringy than Discovery and somehow even less connected to the lore than it.

Mind for spoilers below, I guess

!Why would the terran empire make teenagers kill themselves to choose the new emperor? Is it an episode of squid game? Why is Filippa in the 24th century and how do section 31 knows she is there? She reached it from the 32nd century, why wouldn't they assume she's still there? She built a doomsday device capable of destroying an entire quadrant and detonated it, why the prime nor the mirror universe suffered no consequences? Why did they set her and the other forgettable guy to die, but in the next scene they are drinking as nothing happened and their friend didn't just die?!<

Self hosted WordPress is a big no-no in my opinion, very easy to get violated by random scripts.

If you really don't want a static site builder like jekyll, at least make it dockerized (do it even for a static website, dockerize everything as it's better anyway)

Maybe the annals were just short of one year and 2025 is the time

I understand how you feel. The first step to reduce the frustration is to try and give it less importance: as you said yourself, it's not falling in love, it's just infatuation. Your brain is confusing attractiveness to another person (physical or romantic) for a deep connection that doesn't come at first sight (despite what movies and tv would make you believe) but develops in time.

You will be attracted to a lot of people in your life (assuming you're not aromantic or asexual) and, with time, you'll realize if you went deeper in many of these situation, the attraction would disappear, because the shallow opinion you have of a person you are not dating is very difficult to get right, and usually filtered positively by your monkey brain that just wants to formicate.

Of course trying and deepening these attractions would help you realizing this, which might not be easy if you have difficult approaching other people, but try and reflect on similar situations in the past and think about them cold-hearted: to how many people are you still infatuated? Don't you see now the "bad things" that you brain was hiding and that don't make you two really compatible?

Eventually it just becomes a nuisance. I don't know if you can change it, but you can accept it and it will bother you less if you understand the mechanism behind it.

Maybe you just feel affection-starved and in these situations it's easy to attach to ideas of relationships rather than real ones. Nothing weird of course, everybody do it is some way or another. It's a combination of social brain and (according to your comnents) low self-esteem.

Of course these are my 2 cents according to personal experience, a therapist would you help you more with that.

I apologize, I must have confused it for one of the many invidious instances

As for the video, I wonder if we can trust the 5 milion $ number. Maybe DeepSeek still costed billions but knew what effect would have saying it?

I mean, I am glad you and other people are able to enjoy the show also given the inconsistencies, but the question I tried to answer was why people cared about canon and coherence. It might not be important for you, but from what I can see, it looks like it matters for a lot of people, especially in a show that except for TOS and maybe a little of the first season of TNG, tried really hard to stay coherent with itself, in the bad and the good.

You can't really blame a show for not being coherent in their early days, but once stuff is established, you can expect faithful fans to be mad about disrupting an expansive narrative.

Willy Wonka ... Plus the latest theories that try to connect it to Snowpiercer

Wat?

Not saying any of these would cause WW3, but remeber that, depending on who you ask, WW2 started:

• when Germany and Russia invaded Poland in 1939
• when Germany invaded Checkoslovakia in 1938
• when Japan invaded China in 1937

there is no single point of start for a war, just many actions of variable intensity that escalate

Hdd can live a long and happy life, but absolutely don't trust a single drive ever, independently of how rugged, old or expensive it is.

My main hard drive lasted 5 years with 1 year of power on hours, working fine and suddenly failed. It was a good fail because I was able to get all the data from it, but it took almost one month for how slow it was.

Always assume your data storage is going to die tomorrow and be ready to replace it.
