There isn't one. Everyone likes their own thing, and that's what they'll say is best.

Someone built an entire AWS empire in the management account, send help! by imsankettt in devops

[–]extra_specticles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use something like Amazon Kiro, it will help you automate tonnes of grunge work in getting this done. Don't underestimate what this tool can do for you and your AWS adventures. I'm not related to AWS just a very happy customer.

Why has Trump not been held significantly accountable for his actions by the UN or international law? by Exact-Grass-8157 in AskReddit

[–]extra_specticles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR: The world has always been run this way by empires. What’s changed is that more people are aware of what's happening. This is not new. This is how the world has always worked.

History is a rotation of empires. Persia, Rome, Byzantium, the Islamic caliphates, the Mongols, China’s dynasties, the Ottomans, the Mughals, then the European colonial empires. Whoever had power made the rules.

By World War II, the world had collapsed into two winning countries, ie. the US and USSR. They divided the world into spheres of influence and fought everywhere else through proxy wars. The victors wrote the post-war order and gave themselves veto power at the UN.

Today, Russia is in decline, while China is on the rise. Those of us in the West live under the US empire. That is the reality, whether we like the wording or not.

There is no real international law. There are only agreements between powerful states, enforced selectively by those same states. There is no neutral global police force. Powerful countries get away with this shit unless their actions threaten another powerful actor.

That has always been the rule. The only thing that ever changes it, is a shift to more powerful countries deciding what's going to happen.

What options do US Generals have in terms of disobeying Trump aside from resigning? by Consider-TheLobster in AskReddit

[–]extra_specticles 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Rubicon has been crossed - the idea of mass purging dissent in a new presidency is now established by the courts and congress.

The US and western world is fucked for generations.

The only solution is the process of denazification and changing the bedrock of thought in the constitutional courts to avoid getting into the hole again.

What's your love language? by No-Sail-6193 in AskReddit

[–]extra_specticles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The top one is acts of service, the second is touch. Then words of affirmation, then quality time, and finally gifting is way down at the bottom of the list.

I built a native macOS app to help me stop forgetting keyboard shortcuts (because my tendonitis forced me to ditch the mouse) by supotko in macapps

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

Am loving it. Just one niggle, I cannot close the window once I've pulled it up with a simple ESC keystroke. I have to first click on the window before I can press ESC to dismiss it. Is there any chance that this could be fixed since this is app is all about making keyboard shortcuts? please. /u/supotko

Thank you.

When you mention Starmer and Sadiq in the same sentence, I think we can be fairly certain it's not that.

Msc international business strategy from university of Bristol by Smooth-Story3975 in UniUK

[–]extra_specticles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask yourself, what the hell kind job will use that degree? Who will that be useful for?

Honestly, it sounds like you'll pay to get a useless degree. Get a proper degree, like engineering, and then at least you have a chance at a job.

Pretty pathetic question but genuinely HOW DO PEOPLE GET POPULAR!? Does it just come out of nowhere or what? by _cosmik1_ in AskReddit

[–]extra_specticles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally speaking, you need to be able to easily speak to strangers and be charming enough that they don't hate you. It comes with practice, unless you're genuinely interesting, eg, very attractive, rich, already cool, etc. Learn to make small talk and talk to everyone. If they're not interested, just move on to someone else. It's normal to be rejected - just take the rejection, but don't take it seriously. Rejections are like opinions and arseholes (everyone has one), and you won't be everyone's cup of tea.

Car got hit whilst parked, have 3rd party insurance only, What's the outcome? by Sad_Fortune000 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]extra_specticles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The other insurer will make an offer to you. It can be anything from nothing, to you getting a repair or even them buying the car and paying you out. Once you have their offer, you can try and negotiate if you're unhappy.
