> do you care about who your actions might affect

This one surprises me every time I fly. When I have the aisle seat I can be up and out in 10 seconds. It seems to make like everyone else will plop down , place down 3 different liquids on the tray and then take a nap. When I ask to use the bathroom I end up feeling like a nuisance

The computers they give us at work are pretty powerful. Mine has 64 gigs of ram. When I power it on the fans instantly go into full blast mode because the computer is heating up. why? I have no idea I just run Edge and Teams, if I try to use VS my computer will crash. At home I use Mac and Linux (kububtu) and will never have windows on my devices again

I have the computer they handed me 3 years ago still. As soon as it powers on the fans go into full gear. Almost nothing running, just Edge. If I have VS on the thing hate crashes. 64gb ram

The Japanese spider crab being the same size as a tiger shocked me.

New comment by spydr in "Nobody cares"

spydr — Wed, 22 Jan 2025 02:45:03 +0000

As much as I would love to be a Leslie Knope, by the time I’ve allotted all my caring to the things in life that keep me employed , fed , housed, and ad hoc family requests, I don’t have the capacity to care about much more. I really wish I did ,but because I have a limited “care bucket” , most of it is going to a bunch of insignificant BS. What the author noticed I notice a lot too , but I think that is because I am someone who actually tries to engineer better solutions to problems. I’ve noticed a “good enough” attitude in almost all aspects of my life and it’s frustrating.

Is your comment about SUVs simple because you notice this issue is more prevalent in taller cars or because you don’t like them for other reasons? I myself have not noticed this correlation. Some of the time it’s after market crap the owner didn’t bother to adjust properly, but most of the time it’s newer cars such as Teslas where see this issue , and the sedans are fairly low to the ground

A lot of the “fake news” in circulation about Covid turned out to be true. Oh how some of this info was shut down, from twitter and Facebook removing them , to news outlets reporting on them. How do you decide what is fake news and what is something that we just got wrong and a small group of people are pointing out?

About a year ago I went in for a regular checkup after my wife reminded me I had not had one. I thought, I’m 25 don’t really need one. Turns out my blood cell count was slightly elevated. 2 months later I do another test, it’s off the charts. Turns out I randomly developed leukemia. 11 months of chemo later, and I’m in remission. Not sure what would have happened if we had not caught it so early.
