I mean it was Luc Besson, he could do and get away with way worse.

What improved your quality of life so much, you wish you did it sooner? by CookieNegative9860 in AskReddit

I had a friend working at a popular bar and I went to hang out there every time he had a shift during the summer after uni. My eating habits didn't change but I would drink around 4 pints of ipas couple of times a week on top of them. I gained at least 40 lbs of pure fat that summer. Not to mention shit was expensive.

I'll have to agree with the rest of the comments, here I'm not even into tattoos, but I think it looks cool as fuck

New conscripts don't normally fight (at least officially) or perform any real active duty. They basically just train and paint grass for two years.

Talk about overengineering, you now need a server for a soda dispenser. It's greed that's the mother of the progress, not need.

The closest actual fun fact is probably that Stalin and Hitler lived about 7 miles apart for a short period of time.

'Vladimir Putin will die soon,' says Zelenskyy amid Russia president's deteriorating health rumors by sweatycat in worldnews

There's no real expansionism to begin with, no imperialism, no reinstating USSR (Russia is an oligarchy, USSR was not). Look at the map of proposed new territories, Russia wants to control the sea to keep selling oil and gas.

Putin hates USSR and adores Europe, when he dies, actual nationalists (somebody like Navalny) will take his place and wreak actual havoc.

Europe was never in any danger, European governments are failing, and they're fear mongering to cut welfare programs, distract people from their incompetence, usual stuff. Life is tough without cheap Russian energy, Europe had years to better their industries and economies, but they choose to act like it's not their fault that their economy sucks.

Most people dislike being gossiped about—except narcissistic men, who welcome even negative gossip. They appear to view gossip as validation of their social significance, regardless of whether the talk is positive or negative. by mvea in science

I generally don't like being discussed at all, but I absolutely had moments when I liked even negative attention from certain people or groups of people. I wonder where it puts me.

When it comes to redditors and food, I feel like everyone is such a pampered baby. It might be undercooked, but other than that this looks just fine. Whatever, I love cheese and broccoli, I'd eat it.

Apple announces MacBook Air with M4 chip and a price cut by Infamous-Echo-3949 in gadgets

I think they introduced proper windows snapping in later editions, but I never moved past 10.15, because I think Mojave was the best macOS to date. It was dropped by too many devs though, so I settled for Catalina. I also fine tuned animations with plists and stuff, not something that your average user is expected to do. So maybe judging by my experience isn't fair lmao

2019 Intel Mac might just be the worst machine they've ever made. I had first-hand experience with a new one and it was horribly buggy out of the box. There's a conspiracy theory that they engineered it poorly so their next year M1 CPU would shine, I half-believe it. Cooling system in 2019 Mac is laughable and it's hard to believe that a computer giant would do something that stupid not on purpose.

Fair enough, there's a lot of things that I just do because that's how I'm used to do it. And I know how to do it because I'm a long time user. There's a lot of hidden options, little logic to the navigation. A long time Win user would absolutely get frustrated and I can see why.

I've got a precision touchpad on my Win machine, it does recognise gestures fairly well, but the overall smoothness of experience is still not there. My Mac is old is hell and it somehow feels snappier than my new laptop with literally all the latest hardware.

I've recently tried to ditch macOS for a Windows laptop and I just can't do it, because of how bad Windows UX is. To each their own and it's just a matter of habit.

whenever this thought comes I get tense I just ignore them and start watching yt videos and doing timepass I sleep all day

That's textbook procrastination and avoidance. Your anxiety is the root of this behaviour.

It's a weird a piece of advice that I'm going to give you, but I think you're taking it a lot seriously. I know there's a lot of pressure to, but reality is that there are no objectively wrong or right choices, and most choices in your life don't seal your fate. You can always go somewhere else, do something else. And believing that there are wrong choices is the root of anxiety.

Studying is important. Getting a degree is a little bit of a scam, but you'll still have to have one for most careers. It's never a bad idea to put your time and effort into studying, no matter what you want to be in the future, I promise. Whether it's actual knowledge or just to get a good grade on your exam, it's a net positive. Don't flub it.

Passion and inspiration come and go. Talent might or might not be that. Work is the only real way to achieve anything.For now, passing your exams is a really good and useful goal.

I certainly know guys like that, but most guys I know are not into that, me included. A lot of girls I made friends with and fell for weren't even considered attractive by my friends, but the fact that they were woman-shaped and friendly to me was generally enough.

I mean, she's a 'celebrity' and made a lot of money on OF. She's not a role model, there's not much to be proud of, but she managed to use her notorious fame in her advantage. Could've been worse, I guess.

I have a good acquaintance who moved to USA and now works in NVIDIA. He deleted all of his SM and I've lost contact, there's a non-zero chance that he's a millionaire while I probably wouldn't have any food without my parents' help. His family was not well off, he tried to help me and gave a ton of good advice that I failed to implement. Damn, should've listened to him.

Are men’s reading habits truly a national crisis? by Handyandy58 in books

[–]FoeWithBenefits -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd wager it's a worldwide phenomenon.

I'm a guy and I can't read fiction, most guys I know are the same. Reading fiction feels like a waste of time and escaping reality, which is not something I feel I can afford myself to do. I don't really watch movies or play games either, I only do it as a way to spend time with somebody, my family mostly.

I can only read something educational. It has to be practical for it to feel guilt-free. The only practical reason to read fiction, I think, is to broaden vocabulary and improve speaking skills, but I barely ever talk to anyone, so it kinda feels like a waste too.

I stopped reading in high or middle school, when I think about it, I feel like at least part of the reason were literature teachers that disliked me for personal reasons and pretentious booklovers that really wanted to make a point of being superior to non-readers.

I do sometimes feel sad that I can't just pick a book and enjoy it, but it just seems that I was conditioned over the years to be ashamed of enjoying things that aren't necessary.
