One might argue that the most badass thing someone can do in a relationship is treating your partner with love and respect.

Booooo

100%

The more you know!

like slashdot, digg, and reddit, lemmy is a link aggregator. the community is not the point, it is an emergent feature.

Not sure I agree with this bit. I'm absolutely on board with everything before this...but if community wasn't the point, why have comments, profiles, direct messaging? Pretty sure community is the point.

Pay wall

Mint is a great general entry point to Linux.
I'd say Pop!OS or Garuda Gaming edition for traditional style, and Bazzite for "Atomic"(harder to accidentally Bork), are better ootb(out of the box) gaming distros. I.e. less downloading and tweaking to get games running, more things installed from first boot.

Fair dues

Probably not, keeping in mind I've never been to Moscow and cannot confirm personally, but I've heard Moscow has windows.

I second an application for joining the EU

My issue isn't with the basic ideals of effective altruisim, it's with how it's used by the wealthy to fleece people with the idea of helping people.
There's not a single thing wrong with being a starry-eyed idealist. Especially if you act, bring your beliefs and ideals into fact.

Effective altruisim is fine on paper, and I'm sure there's people effectively effective altruisim, but most people who champion it are...well...Sam Bankman-Fried and friends. Wearing a mask of doing it for the unfortunate and spending everything on a beachfront mansion robbing Peter to pay Paul, with absolutely no real intention of helping the folk that "effective" altruisim is meant to help.

I liked Luigi, and this is gonna sound a bit rough, because he shot a useless piece of shit drain on society. Effective altruisim is nice on paper, but it's almost always used to fleece the stupid so the rich can get richer.

No, if you're from the same socioeconomic sphere as him and haven't lived long enough. The only people I've ever met or heard of that are effective altruists are "upper middle class" or properly wealthy.....and younger than 50.....

Nah, the thing's just a cheap POS. We've been asking for it to be replaced for 2yrs, it's only about 3yrs old.
And we're fortunate in that they don't really track our breaks. As long as we get our work done that's really all they expect from us....and sometimes not even that....

Well, then, hopefully you're doing what you can for those that they'll come for before they come for you.

Edit: FFS, that sounds so soapboxy finger pointy. I wasn't trying for a holier than thou sort of...vibe

effective alteuisim

Uuuuuuugh....I really liked him too.....

His application for continuation of life has been denied, sadly the decision is final, and there is no appeals process in place at this time....

Seems like you're not enough anymore. Sorry bud.

The seldom seen "suicide by self immolation".....is what I'd say if there hadn't been so many people literally setting themselves ablaze this past year.

Hope you're ok down there, be safe.
