  • While I said it's completely fine to be selfish, I didn't say it's completely fine to be completely selfish. I think I made it pretty clear that I think some level of selfishness is completely fine, not every level of selfishness.

  • Little common luxuries, lots of nature, lots of silence, freedom from most things. It's a return to a more ancient, simple way of life.

    For some people this represents extreme comfort and serenity.

    For other people they don't understand why you'd give up having a warm shower readily available (or similar things) and are annoyed the whole way.

    Have fun finding out what's yours! :D

  • Can you honestly say that you sacrifice everything for the environment? Have as little/positive carbon footprint as in any way possible?

    I'm saying that eventually stopping to sacrifice personal benefits for the common good is fine. I.e. being selfish.

  • There is no "hook" though. We shouldn't be fighting against each other.

    Every person has a different level of personal sacrifice for the greater good that they are ok with. It is completely fine to be selfish. If that means that we're fucked as a species, then that's what that means.

    If we militantly blame people for still eating animal products for example, it'll just create hostilities that are further entrenching the sides. Instead we need to push to compromises, everywhere. Make animal products more expensive, using the tax or whatever to offset their carbon impact. People that still want to buy it can buy it. Or say it'd be best to not eat animal products, but if that's too hard, how about just a little less, however much is acceptable.

    It's not optimal, absolutely true, but it has a much higher chance of working.

  • No, it was not only placing blame on individuals. That is your interpretation of it.

  • Love your fellow humans that just want a working computer.

  • I think what people mean when they say this is that they are looking for the same price point as the equivalent Windows device... I don't know all these companies but every time I looked for a Linux PC/laptop it was 25-30% more expensive than the equivalent Windows thing.

  • But who else is to blame? Seriously...

    Where do you think these 57 companies get their money from to continue doing their shit? By individuals buying their shit.

    What do you think these 57 companies consist of? They employ hundreds of thousands of individuals. Each of which could theoretically decide not to continue with that.

    Of course I realize it's not that easy, individual situations may be complex, and that there's different amounts of blame to go around. You're correct, these companies have concentrated blame to them and it'd be more impactful to regulate them specifically.

    But my statement is simply also true. Multiple things can be true at the same time. Multiple courses of action can be reasonable.

  • How do I make a product?

    Jump

  • Ideas are incredibly cheap. It's absolutely unlikely that no one ever had your idea. It's even likely that someone had your idea and it failed, and you don't/can't even know about it because no one bothered to record the failure.

    Other people have mentioned all kinds of ambitious/proper ways to do this. I've got a different view: if you truly think this will work, do a basic version yourself.

    Learn basic blender, design 3D printed parts yourself and let someone print them. Use some app builder and tutorials, or hire a programmer for a very rudimentary prototype work. Buy generic electronics. Just get it working once. Then show it to people, let them use it, ask if they would buy it, preferably let them sign a slip of paper not to talk about this product or compete with it (there are standard NDA/non-compete contract clauses online available) or talk to people you can trust.

    If you do all this and get positive feedback, then you can start doing this properly and get more people on it, like the other commenters mentioned.

  • How do I make a product?

    Jump

  • No. Just no. You're talking about perfectionism basically. Who cares about continuing maintenance? If you get the product out there and working enough to last the 2 years warranty, you're completely fine. One programmer is perfectly capable of learning the most basic things about the disciplines you mentioned, it doesn't need to be good, it just needs to do its job mostly.

    You have no clue about the scope of what this guy's idea is since he gave no info. Maybe it's so simple not even one programmer would have to work on it for very long.

    Of course, what you say is perfectly possible to be "correct", but you just have no way of knowing.

  • Dating requires incredible mental resilience. People are traumatized. People are selfish. People are rude. People are struggling. You will have to be able to deal with all kinds of unpleasant behaviors.

    Most of the time, these unpleasant behavior have literally nothing to do with you, because people are just self-centered, the hero of their own story, not seeing others as truly equal, putting you into neat little boxes you don't really fit in, or so many other reasons.

    Even if you're the most perfect person in the world, literally the most attractive, literally with perfect people skills, you'd miss out on at least 70% of connections just because of the random shortcomings of the other person or tertiary events. So you have to be able to deal with the fact that most interactions will not work out.

    But for your and everyone's psyche, every failure is a blow to the ego. So you will always get more blows to your ego than getting it stroked with a success. So it's completely natural to feel like you do, that there's an issue with you. But it's just simply not true.

    The only way to do this dating thing is do it exactly as much as you can handle another rejection. Optimally, you'll be so comfortable by yourself that you literally don't care about rejection, because you're so comfortable already anyway, so why should a rejection matter? You'd just return to being comfortable alone.

  • I mean, meh. I never would've gotten together with people if I hadn't just followed whatever they were comfortable with. I wrote for like 3 weeks about the deepest shit before I met up with someone, still together with that person. With others, I do exchange 3 messages and then meet up.

    It's more about genuinely being interested in the other person, getting them out of their "shell", i.e. talking about what they truly want, by being truly open yourself. So in a sense what you say is true though, if you wanna meet, you should tell them you wanna meet.

    I've also been successful re-establishing "ghosted" connections just by saying what I feel like "huh I thought we had a good connection here, apparently I misjudged that, anyway, hope you have a good one :)"

    Of course there'll be many where you're just too different to build a connection, too incompatible, or just too much unrelated shit getting in the way. But there's just no single script to follow. Except just saying what you want/feel, and truly listening.

  • Those eyes say nothing like that. You have no real clue what these eyes say. You just like to anthropomorphize this dog and attach your own human narrative to it. You're free to do it, just don't state it as fact.

    As l promoted a bikini community l've recently created, someone advised me to create it on lemmynsfw.com. lsn't a bikini something pretty commonplace in the West ?

    Jump

  • Of course you can create it basically anywhere. But if you're going to allow posting of pictures of women in bikinis, your community will be mainly used to masturbate, that much is guaranteed. So if that is the case, it makes complete sense to put it on lemmynsfw.com.

    I'm not sure how many are actually interested directly in bikinis. I.e. if there was no woman attached to them, would people actually like and comment on pictures of bikinis, or start discussion threads about topics related to bikinis? I mean sure, there are probably some people, but I'm also pretty sure they're vastly outnumbered by people interested in bikinis because a woman is clothed by them.

  • Traveling Salesman is NP-Hard, yet Uber Eats delivery route optimization algorithms exist

    Jump

  • But isn't "pick up multiple orders at a restaurant, then figuring out in which order to deliver them to minimize time spent delivering" the traveling salesman problem? I thought that's what the post referred to.
