I mean, I like Longlegs, even though a lot of people were upset by the 3rd act. I think this movie is outside of that “guilty pleasure” area. The Monkey knows what it is and does it well.

Sam Raimi’s version of Spider-Man. He’s an agent of the common man, and obviously someone with super powers would be amazing. However he isn’t so powerful that he couldn’t be subdued if he were to become evil. The only problem is I don’t live in NYC…

You got a source for that last sentence? I’m inclined to degree, but I’d love to see a a concrete explanation proving it.

Biggest con of KDE + Krohnkite (to me) is no text-based config. I really have no desire to pour through the GUI to set up all my keybinds. I’ve tried this setup before, and honestly I mostly like it. However anytime I want to change something I just hate having to click through a menu with my mouse. The search bar helps, but often you’ll spend a lot of time guessing what the devs decided to name a setting. I went back to Sway and have no regrets. Though I’ll admit I wish there was something that was basically Sway with the benefits you mentioned here.

Time to log off, bud. Not just because you keep asking these age gap questions, but because your entire post history is concerning. Seek help.

Middle-class white person grows up to do middle-class white people things. PhD portion of the story seemed promising but fell short of expectations. At least the lead couple is kind of funny. 2/5 stars

Whole wheat toast topped with peanut butter, sorghum syrup, and bananas. The toast has fiber and the peanut butter has protein. The bananas and the tiniest drop of sorghum add enough sweetness to round out the flabor but contain less added sugar than most cereal.

Pritzker has been seen around Chicago throughout this whole debacle, specifically at protests. Seems like he’s doing a little more than chilling at his office. Even when he said “you have to go through me” he was at a protest. I’m pretty anti-billionare, but at least this elected official is not cowering from the fascists.

I don’t really see how what you detailed in your summary connects to your thesis. How are things like more registers and less cycles for branches related to using RISC over CISC? It reads more like the microarchitecture of the MIPS is better rather than the approach of the ISA.

I think the real reason you haven’t dated a girl is you’ve never gotten to know any. You wouldn’t think like this otherwise. A majority of couples I know have equal relationships with emotionally vulnerable guys. Your last statement on touching grass fits the bill.

I guess your battery isn’t overheating?

I personally recommend Multi Launcher, which is KISS with just a few more features that stay out of your way if you don’t want them

In Columbus, you would be considered just a normal guy. You could easily find a community there.

Cleaning also takes less time, especially if you include all the planning that goes into cooking. Then if you consider the amount of time it’d take for the same meal to be made by other members of the household, you start to see that cleaning is actually a bargain. You also have to remember that even when you enjoy cooking, it is stil exhausting. They have less energy to clean than those who didn’t cook.

Obviously there is a limit. If the cook is making an excessive mess due to doing some particularly fancy cooking out of ambition, they should probably help out. But if you regularly reap the benefits of someone else’s skill in the kitchen, yes, you should help clean.

Addiction was simply an example of why a homeless person might not be able to handle money reponsibly. It was not an assumption about what made them homeless, nor was it a judgement on their character. I don’t disagree with anything your saying, so I don’t see the problem. And I don’t refuse giving any aid. I just think giving to an organization is more likely to help a person than giving to them directly. Maybe if I was handing out in volumes of $1k it’d be enough to change soneone’s like, but obvioualy most can’t afford to do that.

Acknowledging crippling dependence != judgement

Do you know how addiction works?

I am not responding to all this but I cannot let this slide:

So this is another disengenous oversimplification. You will take the position that a homeless person can sustain a hard drug addiction from panhandling, yet they would not be able to afford a motel room for the night, or an extended stay, and begin their climb back into society. This is purely a moral judgement on your part.

You acknowledge that dependence is a need (which I agree with!) but you think that an addict will magically overcome their addiction when handed the money they could use to sustain the addiction? The justification you’re using for handing them money (i.e. relieving withdrawal) is the same reason I don’t expect an addict to buy a night at the motel over their drugs. The reasons are biological not moral. You must be operating on another definition of moral or something.

That’s kind of an impossible question to answer because the “they” is unknowable in your question.

Exactly. The easiest thing to do is ask them what they want. Personally when they ask for money, I tell them I don’t hand out money and ask them if there’s something else they need. It is a good way to actually have a conversation with them and get them something they need.

I also want to be clear, I’m not going to judge anyone for giving money to someone in need. It is better than not trying to help at all. I just personally believe it is better not to give homeless persons money.

What world do you live in that a fiver can buy someone a substantive quantity of hard, addictive drugs?

I never claimed this. The accumulation of multiple fivers from different people can eventually get you drugs. You’re also neglecting cheaper substances like alcohol. Basically the money you accumulate from asking for money will get you alcohol/drugs faster than it will get you shelter.

You’re being completely disengenious here and asserting more moral policing.

Where have I inserted my morals here? I do not think people don’t deserve help because they are addicts. I merely acknowledge that they need a different kind of assistance than my pocket change will provide.

Offering food is fine, if they are hungry and they want it. But if they decline food when that is not the type of help they need is not some admission of guilt, as it is so often portrayed to be. Often, they’re rightly skeptical of food from a stranger. Some will accept it to be polite but throw it out for their own safety. It only takes me and ~9 or so other people offering them that fiver to pay for a night’s stay in a cheap motel. Offering supplies if they refuse your food is also great to help them with urban camping, but too many supplies is also a liability where they now need to be concerned about theft. Packing light is just as much a survival tactic.

What a tangent dude. Everything I offer is always based on what they request. I do not ever give them anything they didn’t ask for. If they got something that’s a burden to them, it’s because they asked for it. I’m not shoving food down their throat or forcing socks on their feet.

Nobody has ever gotten a home from food and supplies, but they sure as hell do with money.

Show me the story of the homeless person who accumulated enough fivers to afford rent.

My philosophy only acknowledges my help in passing as what it is: a short term relief for a complicated issue. If they use it for food, it will only last them a few meals at best. The food, however will not harm them. If they use it for socks, they will eventually wear out. Again, the socks will not harm them. If they use it for drugs/alcohol, sure it might give them relief for a while, but it might also just allow their addiction to persist. I just choose not to gamble on the last point by sending my money to nonprofits instead of leaving it up to people who are probably not in the right headspace for responsible decisions. If you want to give them money, fine. But don’t chastise me having conversations with people and need and trying to help them in a way I’m comfortable with.
