  • What do you believe that most people of your political creed don't?

    Jump

  • Yes but which free trade are you talking about? Because if you close borders so trade only happens within one country, then there will still be competition within the country. I.e. your neighbor's factory. That's why I ask which borders you mean exactly... Because usually "close the border" means closing the border of the country to imports/exports of goods/humans of other countries.

  • Well yeah, but that doesn't invalidate the "tolerance is a social contract" mentality, it invalidates baseless accusations and extreme hostility. What I said is the actual intended result of the "don't tolerate intolerance" mentality. If that is fine with you, then you don't actually have any issue with the mentality itself, but with the implementation.

  • Wait, which borders are you talking about? The borders of each individuals property? So everyone should be self-sufficient, with no trade happening at all?

  • Do people really stop competing with one another if the borders are closed? And if so, how? In my mind, neither open nor closed borders change anything in the amount of competition there is, it just changes the groups involved.

  • So what is the alternative to "downvoting" someone's opinion? You can't support it, obviously, that would be stupid. I just see no other way than "downvoting", saying "well, I see where you're coming from, but your opinion is wrong and doesn't achieve what you want".

  • This is not bargaining... It's simply proving he isn't a dictator

  • How is the Stock Market keeping it's value after points to everything?

    Jump

  • Why should anything be crashing at this point? Everyone is still working, right? Value is still being extracted from workers, right? People are still buying things, aren't they?

    The stock market will only start crashing once the effects actually reach people's spending/working behavior, which it didn't yet.

    Am I a bad friend/rude for not engaging with my friends and giving one-word responses?

    Jump

  • Nah, you're on a good path. If you continue to work on yourself, accept your shortcomings, you really can't do anything wrong. Only staying still would be a problem. The fact that you ask here is already proof of the opposite.

  • I'm glad :) I hope you can get to a better place with your depression. I've been through it, I know how much it sucks. If you need more advice/explanations/help, don't hesitate to ask.

    Many people in here treated you very unfairly, because you did sound very much like you're saying "I'm incredibly amazing and can do nothing wrong", and some people assume that such a person could never do something different and they absolutely hate that.

    A healthy confidence is incredibly important, but so is knowing that you're not perfect either. I'm very proud that it seems like you can do both :)

  • Is too much self-awareness bad?

    Jump

  • The question is what you mean with "too much self-awareness", which you haven't said. I strongly assume that what you're talking about isn't self-awareness at all, but self-worth issues.

    Because just knowing yourself... is simply never a bad thing. If it is, then it isn't the thing you're talking about.

  • What does it mean to be yourself, while trying to change?

    Jump

  • As others have said, flirting is a "natural", risk-free way to show sexual interest in someone.

    I'm autistic and basically can't do it. So I just go up to people I find attractive, and say "hey I think you're cute, I'd like to get to know you better, would you also like that?" or some variation of this. Most of the time it doesn't work, but quite evidently by what is lying next to me, it works sometimes.

    Being yourself is not about not doing the things that are required to reach your goals. You still need to do them, i.e. express sexual interest. What is meant is that you need to figure out a way to do the things that are necessary to reach your goal in a way that you can actually learn to do.

  • Whats been the toughest addiction to beat for you?

    Jump

  • New things. I simply can't stay with anything. Makes it basically impossible to have any decent job, because people want and expect you to be an expert at what you do.

  • When software devs expect you to pipe a script straight from the internet into Bash...

    Jump

  • You are being irrational about this.

    You're absolutely correct that it is bad practice, however, 98% of people already follow bad practice out of convenience. All the points you mentioned against "DoWnlOADing a BinAary" are true, but it's simply what people do and already don't care about.

    You can offer only your way of installing and people will complain about the inconvenience of it. Especially if there's another similar project that does offer the more convenient way.

    The only thing you can rationally recommend is to not make the install script the "recommended" way, and recommend they download the binaries from the source code page and verify checksums. But most people won't care and use the install script anyway.

    If the install script were "bloody pointless", it would not exist. Most people don't know their architecture, the script selects it for them. Most people don't know what "adding to path" means, this script does it for them. Most people don't know how to install shell completions, this script does it for them.

    You massively overestimate the average competence of software developers and how much they care. Now, a project can try to educate them and lose potential users, or a project can follow user behavior. It's not entirely wrong to follow user behavior and offer the better alternatives to competent people, which this project does. It explains that it's possible and how to download the release from the Github page.

  • I personally just don't see how having an identity, a "me", matters at all. As such, why would I worry about being this or that "me".

  • It's not really about the sarcasm itself, what they were saying was so ridiculous that having that as an actual opinion is just completely unrealistic. It shows that your conecpt of reality in ragards to yourself, i.e. self-awareness, is currently very lacking.

  • Then you're a bad friend because of your depression. It's unfortunate and not something you should feel even more bad/depressed about, but it's simply true.

    If they're good friends they will understand if you just tell them the truth. Instead of saying "No" you can just say, "sorry, I'm really depressed, I can't do this". It's a bit longer to write/say, but at least you're communicating honestly.

    If you want to be a good friend and actually be friends with these specific people, you got to work on your depression somehow, if it is truly what is causing this behavior.

  • But yeah, that's the thing, it doesn't matter where it is based when there can't be any information gleamed from it.

  • I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this?

    Jump

  • There is no point to living. For every single reason someone found, someone else doesn't care about that at all. If there is a point to living, we haven't found it yet.

    That said. Try self-improvement. Read about psychology. Analyze your own mind. You might find some stuff pointing you towards something.

    For example. Why do you say "I save most of my paycheck. What for? I have no idea" and "I don’t want to travel because it costs money" just a few sentences apart? This doesn't make any sense. You save money for nothing yet you don't travel because it costs money? To me, this suggests some conditioning you're a victim of, something like just following some predefined set of rules because someone (probably parents) once said "you should be saving money" and "you should not spend money on unnecessary things". But these are just arbitrary beliefs. You don't have to follow them.

    Or. Are you afraid of something? But kinda would like to do it if it wasn't scary? Go do it. What have you got to lose? Nothing matters anyway, right?

    You might just notice if you do these two things, there is actually stuff to live for, you just haven't found it because you either had social conditioning or fear that stopped you from it.

  • Why would'nt this work?

    Jump

  • There are multiple forces at work in a converging rocket nozzle:

    1. The exhaust is pushed outward faster since the hole is smaller, giving the rocket extra thrust
    2. The exhaust hits the wall of the nozzle as it gets thinner, braking the rocket

    These two effectively cancel out, which is why the actual effect of making the nozzle thinner/converge is that it increases the back pressure within the engine (constricted space, smaller hole), essentially (idk how) increasing the efficiency of the fuel burning.

    However, when the nozzle gets too thin, the exhaust becomes faster than its speed of sound. Since the pressure travels at the speed of sound, it can now not actually get back into the engine anymore. So that's the limit of how thin you can make the nozzle. The pressure has to get back into the engine to have its effect, so you can't make the exhaust travel faster than its speed of sound.

    If any of this sounds wrong to anyone, let me know, I'm not an expert in this.
