Everything in this comment is trying hard to whitewash the current bjp gov, using half truths to mis represent.

You say excuses but none of that individual things matter. Even if the people who read this and their friends take action, it will not matter.

Let's be realistic. Only 100 companies responsible for 71% global emissions.

Totally agree. For some people, forcing them to continue life is like making them suffer for longer. If people can give birth without someone's consent, there should also be a way out if they don't like it, and with dignity instead of going out with huge pain and mess.

Affordable housing and education, livable wage, universal healthcare etc. are suicide prevention. This is what people should be focusing on more.

> It used to be that UIs needed to be skeuomorphic to be familiar and recognizable, but now simple outlines can do the job.

Nope. It just makes everything horrible, more pressure on brain to find out and slow in the end to do everyday operations. It's just the designers who love these just for the looks (they don't even know what design actually means), not for any usability.

Tech would have better without these type of "designers".

Where do you get these information? It's unbelievable that people still denying climate change and it's effects.

The oil industry and conservatives did quite a good job spreading lies for personal benefit which already destroyed the planet irreversibly.

> your three year old will have a far better life than you or I. Climate change is a problem but there will be solutions.

To be frank, this is completely false and may be you are getting wrong information. Climate change is already in irreversible state, there is no solution. Period.

Gov and corporations are not even trying to minimise it, just delaying until last moment. Humans will survive but it will be dystopian. The kids will suffer the worst. This is not exaggeration. Rich will just stay in gated community.

No point in per square feet if people own home not square feet. If price is up, people can't own home and they are not. This is what matters.

Having kids for the economy and what else is selfish. Kids should not be brought to fix things screwed up by their parents and grandparents. These kids are used like the fuel cells like in The Matrix, not because there is some benefit to them, there is none btw.

Life itself is pretty hard for most people, most just don't accept truth and make up a reason to cope. Copium. It's heartbreaking seeing children fleeing their home, losing everyone they know like in Syrian and now Ukraine just in last decade.

Then there is climate change, which will be devastating in near future. Even IPCC report is manipulated by lobbying.

Having kids is the "selfish" thing to do, especially in this thread. The economy and country will suffer, so bringing more sentient without their consent. These kids already have jobs ready for them, to fix things that their ancestors screwed up and now have a much bigger older population.

The rich and famous celebrities are asking to have more kids because they will need these cells to run their factory and sell product services. Economy needs to grow every year only for them.

Climate crisis also going to be extremely cruel to all species and these kids have to suffer the consequences of all the previous humans. Bringing them here is way too selfish. Even IPCC report was watered down.

Additionally life is hard, cruel to many.

It's always others' needs. There might be many reasons to have kids but none of them is for the benefit of the potential kid.

I watch using headphones and dialogues are still difficult to hear. Now I use vlc method to make them audible.

> They are so adverse to exercise, that suggesting exercise seems offensive to them. They emphasize that it's entirely about diet.

Disagree completely. Exercise does not lose weight. The amount of exercise one needs to lose the calorie gained from a burger is not possible to achieve on daily basis. Weight does not just come from air. It's all about what you eat. That's the science.

Exercise helps to build muscle and good health, not reduce body fat. Period. So eat less calorie and not junk/packaged/sugary food. So yeah "just eat well and exercise".

I exercise daily and it has only increased my appetite, I eat more than when I did not move much. The desire to eat is related to habit too. When I eat more it increase the craving and when I stay away from junk food for a long time, the cravings goes away.

It is unethical. You just don't see it because we are selfish and does not care about ethics when there is our profit, humans in a nutshell.

Net positive for who? Humans? Only one species but net result is huge negative for all other species.

Only as a selfish species we find this positive.

> I want fastsitesthatdostuff.com. No blogs, no portfolios. Give me sites that actually do things, are quite tidy in size, and are blazing fast.

You want that, but most sites where people just read are big in many MBs. They are slow. That's the point, not sites doing stuff.

NYT is bloated for a news site. That is the point. Even with just the news text, it is bloated. If simply the html is that big it is bloated. Period.

Because people died and it's data.

I think situation is different when they had almost empty flights and not a festive season. In that case they can cancel the schedule months ago and provide different arrangement to the 6 people that booked.

To not put the flight in schedule in first place when they know it has been empty multiple times.

More importantly, it does not matter how much humans talk about climate change, we never want to even face a slight inconvenience to solve it.

> Mental illness is merely abnormality, not necessarily something ethically wrong or illogical given one's a priori beliefs.

I agree, but what you're saying is not how the world see it. Many things that make humans exists are not necessary or makes life difficult now anyway. Like phobias, vomiting while travelling by car, allergies etc.

Semantics changes everything here and that's how everyone perceives things.

Why is wanting to stop pain and trauma is illness and wanting to continue in more of that useless suffering is normal? I am not talking about privileged here but most people who struggle whole life in world.

Life is full of small inconveniences and big ones time to time. It's not just one small one. So wanting to stop all that should not be considered illness, but forcing to continue the pain and trauma should be. Life is ultimately a meaningless thing, and most people suffer for it. Some people are privileged and they decide what is illness and what is not based on their own life.

One has to work 9-5 whole life that slowly kills their health and die horribly. That's normal, but if one does not want to continue that, it's illness. One must suffer. There is no other way whatever people here says, the real world does not work in any other way.

Nuking planet is different as it will nuke all other species. Removing only humans is a solution that actually works for better of everything else things.

Life is constant struggle for most humans (not talking about privileged here). In the end we all die horribly going through all that trauma, so peaceful suicide like hypoxia may be a solution to stop the suffering.

We don't know the whole situation. Article says "villagers began attempting to rescue the dogs". But how? May be villagers tried to attack monkeys and they felt threatened.

Many people have multiple wifi with different devices, printers on each, have to do it multiple times a day. It's a problem with single menu. What is the problem having separate button that are useful to others?

Over population of humans created the biggest problem already. Climate change, farming too much to feed that, 96% of all mammals are human and livestock, only 4% are wild that we can't exploit, 70% birds are poultry, other species are going extinct.

But people here are self centred like always, so those are not bigger problem to them but future economy is.

Maybe because of anti encryption laws and surveillance bill.

Files used to materialize without internet since beginning, it's not magical. We just needed the software installer file copied to hard drive.

Computers were able to work without internet since i was a kid. That's how me and my friends used them without any problem. Using the airgap word you are making it a new special setup that needs some special steps, some programs will not work etc. It's not a feature.

Saying people prefer one to another hides the fact that they were not given any other option. People will choose whatever default is given and then we may say they everyone prefers that. Or just make the other option (which was normal before) complicated so that nobody wants that now.

> isn't having to do things like that kind of the whole point of an airgap?

Nope. The exe files are supposed to do it's thing without internet and no extra effort like it was for a long time.
