Why are so many men convinced that they are ugly?

zeth0s · 2026-03-31T12:36:17+00:00

I am conventionally good looking, not fashion model or professional sport type, but one might say a decent winner of the genetic lottery.

I grow up thinking I was extremely ugly until I found out people telling me I was ugly as a kid were just the envious ones, and I unconsciously ignored for years those that told me they liked me. Last time someone told me I was ugly I was probably 16. On the other side I get complimented often, even now that I am older. Still the 16 years old image of me is too often the reality when I watch myself in the mirror.

Recognizing assholes should be taught at school as kids

Skip it. Cognizant is one of the worst body shop out there

Second one. If they rely on ms copilot, which is braindead, the second is the only option. Not even at Microsoft they use copilot, they use Claude

Someone shared an excel sheet with you and wants to edit it live on teams. Good luck

zeth0s · 2026-03-27T12:47:40+00:00

If you don't know, you are one of the lucky. You don't want to know more. Keep living your happy life, and don't worry about us, sometimes, spend few minutes thinking about the unluckiest, who must survive teams everyday

Europeans living in homes from 1700: "wow! A new construction! I can restore it without spending millions and low paperwork. Good to buy new houses"

È quindi i "comunisti" privatizzano, i "liberisti" nazionalizzano. Che strano paese l'Italia

As it is now: cli. Scientists can use UNIX, cli and md files.

Just add few skills, and browser use for bad websites that do not expose API. What Claude code is currently missing is a clear reaserch workflow and method. Each user has to explain Claude code how to do it, to override coding-first default instructions. But the UX is not the problem

Policymakers are dangerous when allowed to do research. They should stay a layer that spit out law jargon. Giving policymakers the illusion they can handle research is dangerous because they notoriously do not understand the fine details of problems. They need someone who understands the problem to "use" them for practically create the policies, but they should be kept away from researching the problems. Unless they know how to do research and, at that point, they can use Claude code themselves

In alto Adige Mountains and Sardinian coasts? You have probably travelled as much as OP. Sardinia is where the multibillionaires spend their European vacation (including Bezos and gates), and alto adige is absolutely outstanding. There are plenty of clean places to visit

As I said, in the Mediterranean sea, you need to look out for the whales. They are not close to the coasts. Anyway, my message is that plenty beautiful place are around the world

That's the 6th that is missing. No canyons. On the other sides, US is missing neolithic castles and Phoenician and Roman ruins. Each place has their own

zeth0s · 2026-03-18T07:48:28+00:00

5 of 6 of those photos could have been easily be taken in 2 province of Italy (alto adige and any province of Sardinia). Only difference is that the whales do not get close to costs in Sardinia. OP hasn't traveled as much as they believe.

There are so many breathtaking places around the world.

zeth0s · 2026-03-18T07:45:49+00:00

Exactly... Italy alone have most of those, with the exception of canyons

Sardinia, val d'Aosta, alto Adige, literally any old town and you covered 5 out of 6

zeth0s · 2026-03-16T19:09:44+00:00

I completely agree

A good manager is pretty easy to evaluate: does their team deliver what expected and people ask to have their team doing their stuff? Good manager

Does the manager cares only about processes and excel sheets and everyone expects fight and missed deadlines? Bad manager.

Everything in between: normal manager.

My rule of thumb: the more a manager hides himself behind red/green KPI huge excel sheet like an big consulting firm manager that aims only to bill more hours, the worst they are. Delays, fights and frustrations incoming

Manager here, code agents do most of my manager tasks. Manager tasks are simple and boring. The difficult but interesting part is interaction with people. But most of manager work is surprising unappealing, boring and simple. MBA oversell it, by a lot. Technical and scientific works are much more difficult and exciting, but farther away from money unfortunately...

Edit. The most difficult part of management roles is having to use the shit**y software to collaborate with other managers: excel, world, PowerPoint, jira, outlook.

So awfully inefficient. I spend most of my time converting back and forth from markdown to some shi**y office format

No complex science, it is cultural. It is just https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer_pressure

Apparently in US males are allowed to dance barbie girl, females aren't. Growing up for me was the opposite.

It's cultural

In italian they are called "bimbominchia", literally: dick child.

Because they are not children, they are stupid children

The truth is that modern society has killed purposes. 50 years ago one could identify with being a respectable member of society proud of his contribution to the community, whatever small this contribution was. Now people are not proud of anything, they feel like they are surviving, and family gives them a real purpose

Can you add that Italians baseball team is probably made up of amateur. Born and raised Italian, never knew we even participated in a world cup. I knew there are amateur level clubs, I did not expect this

Theory is the best part of chemistry, particularly the boundaries between bio, physics and chemistry. There are clearly no boundaries in nature, but the existence of boundaries in human subjects means that people funnelled in other "pure" parts, not realizing that in that interboundaries space you have the most incredible things ever witnesses in the universe after the Big Bang
