  • Finding someone to play his favourite videogames with is easy. Finding someone who loves him, thats a lot harder.

    I strongly recommend talking with him about these feelings. If he loves you too, he will want to know what is going on inside of your head. And probably he can dismiss a lot of insecurities that your mind have made up by itself. And I recommend not jumping this on him, but actively planning a moment together to talk about this.

    He might also indicate worries of his that you didn’t even consider. Things that you actually should work on to improve, rather than trying to like the type of videogame he plays.

    As for trying to feel better, the last thing you mention is a big step: realizing that your feelings are just feelings. I myself have becomd very suspicious of any strong feelings I have, and try to avoid acting on them in the moment. I try to find out what causes the feelings, and what makes them go away. For example: if I am exhausted, I get more self contious, and self deprecating. I know that I need a good nights rest or two to get back to a more resilient and happy state. That doesn’t mean the feelings go away instantly. So accept them while they are there. Just remember they are just feelings.

    Huh, I thought that they only filtered your blood when donating plasma, hence the PFAS could simply be returned to you. But I have to admit that I’m far from an expert on this matter.

    Either way, we kinda have returned to bloodletting being a reasonable medical approach.



  • You are in a contract with the government. Maybe an involuntary one, but still a contract. This contract gives you rights and benefits, but also obligations and responsibilities.

    When the government does not uphold their end of the contract, or changes it to essentially only obligations for you and no benefits, then it becomes extortion. Still not exactly theft, but closer to what you mean.

    However, the vast majority of people get benefits that far outweight the costs of the contract. Safety, transportation, education, utilities, etc.


  • But how does the Rust compiler do that? What does it actually check? Could I write a compiler in C that does this check on a piece of Rust code?

    C is so simplictic, that if I can write a piece of functionality in C, I must understand its inner workings fully. Not just how to use the feature, but how the feature works under the hood.

    It is often pointless to actually implement the feature in C, since the feature already has a good implementation (see the Rust compiler for the memory safety). But understanding these features, and being able to mentally think about what it takes in C to implement them, is still helpfull for gaining an understanding of the feature.




  • I have this experience with a certain type of pedestrian traffic light “button”.

    I quote button, because nothing physically moves when you press it. I’m not sure if it registers pressure or heat, but you don’t even feel anything move when you press it.

    Usually when you press the button, a red text lights up on the button, telling you to wait. This text gives you feedback that the button registered your press, and the traffic light will schedule a green light for you.

    However, sometimes you didn’t press hard enough, and the text doesn’t light up. Simple solution: press harder.

    But there is a scenario where it doesn’t matter how hard you press, the button won’t light up. You keep staring at it, while slamming the damn thing with the fury of a Hulk wealding Mjolnir. Still, nothing lights up. The reason: the light instantly went green, so it never needed to light up the text telling you to wait. And all that time slamming your fist on the button, could have been spend crossing the intersection. Instead you have been standing there, looking like a drunk person having a fistfight with an inanimate object.


  • Sleepy cats can be quite derpy. I once had an unannounced visitor come in via the catflap. The catflap was there from the previous homeowner. What neither I nor this cat knew, was that the catflap was set to entry-only mode. Poor guy got locked up in my kitchen overnight.

    So when I strolled into my kitchen in the morning we looked at eachother, both with the question in our eyes: who the hell are you? So I offered my finger for sniffing, and when approved I slowly petted the sleepyhead. But when I turned around for 5 second to grab my phone, his brain woke up, and suddenly he remembered the trouble he was in, and pannicked. I was suddenly super scary. It took some convincing that the kitchen door was opened to outside, that I wasn’t going to harm him, and that he was free to leave.

    It is not the physical danger, but the risk of people being manipulated, pressured, or straight up forced into doing it. That can certainly still happen with online content. It may not be the image you have of Onlyfans, but I can’t imagine it not happening to some degree.

    Exploitation also happens with foreign workers in the farming and logistics industries though. So under the argument they are making, I recommend also closing the entire farming and logistics industries.
