Watch an abortion debate.
Literally 20s in:
"2 year old does not have right to your body."
Yes, it does have an absolute right to your body. It has right to enough of your time and body to get fed, clothed and cared for. If you deny your body long enough, it is a crime.

Some poor soul on r/askelectronics is trying to identify this cursed connector

Linux moment:
>sudo apt update
>wait and check if anything is wrong from the messages
>all is fine
>sudo reboot
>it's not rebooting and I was ssh connected (a headless server)
>go physically where the computer is and connect a monitor
>some drive failed to unmount and keyboard doesn't respond
>hit the physical reset button
>computer boots and the drive that failed to unmount is working
The unmount failing was in the journal log after. Why Linux can't just fucking reboot when I ask it, especially since I couldn't do anything anyway.
starting the day with an important psa:

psychologists, therapists, psychiatrists, sexologists etc. do not have authority on knowledge period. the way psychology is approached from an outside perspective is inherently disregarding the individuals introspective and therefore unable to sufficiently analyze potential problems within ones psyche. neither the dsm nor the icd are well intentioned and critically revised manuals of disorders that serve to categorize and recommend measures to alleviate the struggles of neurodivergent people and lot's of diagnoses shouldn't exist in the first place. psychology as a field of research hasn't gone through enough reform to accurately reflect people's individual struggles and their causes. if you ever feel like an "expert" is talking utter nonsense about a specific topic I urge you to seek out people directly affected by whatever they're talking about and asking them for their opinions. the age of external and forced psychology is coming to an end and loads of people are no longer agreeing to being systemically discriminated against by people who don't even have our well being as their best interest when trying to help us.

Not even a hot take 

If any software in your PC, including the OS allows automatic updates, your PC is already a part of a botnet.

This is like saying physics and calculus isn’t that difficult. You can teach a person of average intelligence how to take basic derivatives and do basic integration, and get them to where they can solve simple kinematics problems. You aren’t going to make them into a real physicist though, even if they can “do physics”.

Coding is the same way in that you can teach an average person a handful of tools and get them to where they’re able to write code that does something useful. They aren’t gonna be writing the backend for the next Twitter.
