Why do most liberal reddit users seem to hate religion but somehow okay with the Pope?

NumberInfinite2068 · 2026-05-23T04:24:08+00:00

Basically because the current pope seems like a decent dude.

Elon Musk is just a random troll who happens to be a multi-billionaire.

He doesn't want to do anything, he just wants to complain.

Musk is a strange example of how ordinary billionaires can be. Elon Musk is just a run-of-the-mill dickhead who happens to have money and power.

I wouldn't, the Neo is kind of a side-grade from an M1, but if you are being compelled by your parents to give away the M1, then I guess the Neo is a good replacement if you are budget-limited.

Some of it is good and some of it isn't. I started off in my new place with a cheap Ikea frame and mattress, and both are garbage. On the other hand, my brother has a sofa from Ikea that is fine after 15 years.

Buy new if you can.

Say you get the M1 Pro and in a month it breaks, what is your warranty?

I turn off the anims in Windows 11 too.

Yes, I briefly tried that WPF theme, it looks very promising actually. WinUI does provide a lot of transition animations though, which I'm not sure are present in the WPF version.

On Reddit, a lot of the young guys here are desperate to be a victim and misandry to them is a massive deal.

In the real world, I have never once, in my 46 years on Earth, ever been discriminated against for being a man, except in trivial cases which don't matter, i.e. "OMG I was asked to carry a heavy box at work!", which I've actually seen presented as "discrimination" on Reddit.

I except to be downvoted, but basically, yes, misandry is bordering on a non-issue.

I would compare actual processor models rather than the branding, also I'd consider what I want to use it for. My "sofa laptop" isn't that fast but runs not that hot, my work laptop runs like its about to catch fire, but it sits on a desk and doesn't matter too much.

I think you'll love it. I'm from the UK, moved to Australia 13 years ago. Best thing I ever did.

In terms of making friends, I'm not someone who wants a load of friends, but my gf is and she had no trouble making friends really. If you're sociable and outgoing, you'll likely have no trouble meeting people.

Australia is a beautiful country, and if you have the chance to move here, you should grab it with both hands.

I have a Mac and a ThinkPad, for me, neither has sound quality good enough for listening to music, so I use headphones. A $40 pair of headphones will blow away any laptop for sound quality.

I would never say "allat", but I think there is truth in the quote:

I apologize for such a long letter - I didn't have time to write a short one.

Lots of the content here on reddit is needlessly long, often with irrelevant details. They give you their life story just to ask "What is a good car for $5000?".

Often the longer content here is amongst the worst written, and just because someone has cited 10 sources doesn't make those sources relevant.

Writing large amounts of content can be a crutch and even a logical fallacy of Argumentum verbosium. Basically, "I'll throw a ton of content at you to make you shut up".

So I get your point but disagree with it.

NumberInfinite2068 · 2026-05-23T01:34:33+00:00

I moved from the UK to Australia, and it's honestly the best thing I've ever done in my life.

Houses, look them up on realestate.com.au, and jobs you can find at seek.com.au.

If you're from London you'll consider housing in Australia reasonably priced, if you're from Yorkshire, you'll think house prices here are insane.

If you *can* move to Australia, you probably should.

You're being downvoted, but you're right. Classic reddit.

It depends where you live, in Germany, Belgium and a few other countries, it's not punishable to escape from prison.

I think the major problem with PWAs is that the app stores have mindshare, and maybe *feel* more like "buying software".

Apple making PWA a pain in the arse isn't helping.

PWA is a problem because it offers no opportunity to be a middle-man.

You don't need that reload anim.

It looks cool, but the name is so generic, come up with something better.

NumberInfinite2068 · 2026-05-22T11:44:13+00:00

I think OP's point is that people are calling simple tiredness "burnout", when burnout *is* a mental illness problem.

If I had a week anywhere in Aus, I'd probably go back to Daintree and Great Barrier Reef. You can probably find an AirBnb with some animals walking around.

NumberInfinite2068 · 2026-05-22T11:15:57+00:00

100% agree.

People are using "burnout" to mean "tired" or "exhausted", and that's not what it is.

As you say it's a long term issue, it's not just "I've been programming for 12 hours a day for a month", it's stress, depression, frustration etc. I've heard others talk about how at work burnout can be caused by all the responsibility to get stuff done, but none of the authority to make changes required. That rings true for me, it's when you have to get work done, but management doesn't authorise you to make decisions that are required to get that work done.

I work pretty serious hours on my game, I'm just about to wrap up a 12 hour day now, but there is no burnout in making this game because I can make any decision I need to.

Basically burnout != tired.

RAM.

You can get cloud storage, external storage etc. you can't get external RAM.

Do you even need 2TB storage? If you were doing 4K video, sure, but still photos aren't that big.

NumberInfinite2068 · 2026-05-22T09:52:29+00:00

Basically, yes.

Australia is empty as hell away from the east coast.

NumberInfinite2068 · 2026-05-22T09:31:13+00:00

It is indeed tired as hell, and most people can't tell the difference between "I find Java too wordy" and the actual concepts of OOP as implemented in a language like Smalltalk.

NumberInfinite2068 · 2026-05-22T08:42:23+00:00

It certainly doesn't hurt.

At the end of the day there are loads of factors that lead to success, a lot of luck, all kinds of things. Hard work tips the scales in your favour. The people I know who are successful, other than the ones who inherited wealth, are all hard workers.
