Ya you’re right, there is nuance to the subject.

In ancient Greece the women were for babies and the boys were for fun, so the saying goes.

Modern media heavily whitewashes ancient Greece. Women were property, they held virtually no political rights of any kind.

Roman women were marginally better off, but by modern standards they were still in the dumpster.

Ancient Greece was also heavily into boy rape. It was really, really bad.

It’s a brave new world out there. Let’s go for it and see what happens.

Imagine thinking reddit is the only internet forum with gross idiots.

You also drink a ton of beer. That’s my favourite part, really.

You really can’t, though. There are a finite number of hours in each day.

You do you I guess.

Lol sure, you could neglect your children, that’s always an option. Makes you a bad person though. Potentially a criminal too, depends on the exact nature of the neglect.

I don’t disagree with your quoted section. I was more referring to this:

Simple example: I tell colleagues, family, whatever to please remind me again if they feel I missed something they expected of me. If they do, all is good. If they later are pissed that I missed something and immediately blame me … sorry my friend, I warned you.

You can’t expect people to constantly remind you and check up on you. I would rather just do the thing myself at that point.

This is so situational. Obviously if someone asks you for something and you say no upfront, then ya I agree with you. Sometimes we don’t have a choice who we rely on though.

Children are an easy example. Your children rely on you for everything and there’s no one else they can rely on. Sick parents? Siblings that don’t have spouses? You can’t just shed yourself of all responsibilities or obligations in this life, even when they’re hard or near impossible for you to do. That’s just reality.

This doesn’t seem reasonable… If you accept some responsibility, duty, job, whatever, it’s your responsibility to ensure that you take whatever steps are necessary for you to complete that task. It’s not everyone else’s job to babysit you and make sure you actually do the thing you agreed to do.

I probably just wouldn’t ask you for anything anymore after you burned me the first time and just go with someone else… You might think that’s unfair, but we’ve all got our own problems and my time is better spent going with a more reliable option.

What the hell are you talking about? I’m pretty sure the millions of people the Romans enslaved did not volunteer for a better life but were in fact brutalized through violence and abducted from their homes.

I mean, have you met zoomers? Technological literacy as we knew it is dead.

I mean, in this particular case, they’re right. Roblox is predatory AF.

He bought himself luxury sports cars using company money under the guise of “company car”.

Hiding your assets behind a corporate veil is a relatively common form of fraud and tax evasion for rich people.

Moore’s Law is about transistors, not resistors. Tell me you know nothing about hardware without saying you know nothing about hardware.

Sure. I could accept hearing “Windows is more polished than most Linux distro’s”. But to say blankly that Windows is polished is crazy talk. It’s jank as balls. Its got like 3 totally discrete and independent UI frameworks for the menus operating in parallel, and somehow none of them provide all the functionality you would need, have to mix and match them.

That’s just a single example. I could rant for hours.

I agree with your point, but I never would have thought of describing Windows as “polished”.

I can’t be bothered to learn git.
