yeah well the article was about nerds that like to rape, which is a bit different

I use google maps at least 15 minutes a day. At least. Mostly looking at places I know, drove through and intrigued me, etc. I can tell when the satellite picture changes. I once saw a plane that was captured in the views (it got edited out soon after).

I just love Google Maps.

Thats funny. When I try to only give the conclusion, I'm often asked for the details.

I own 3 horses. 3 mares actually.

The first one, who’s 11 and been with me for 8 years now, has incredible communication. She’s always been pretty close to humans but for the past year and a half we have had them at home (they were boarded before). Even my boyfriend who isn’t that much into horses can understand her. In winter they have blankets and up until we had them at home they were in stables. So the horse can’t really escape the blanket. Now they live outside. Well she figured out how to tell us that tonight she doesn’t want the blanket : when we approach, she moves, just one or two steps. And will repeat the move if we insist. And on days where she wants it, she stands still. I discovered that she endured a blanket for most of her life when she didn’t feel the need for one. Second time she blew my mind : one night coming home late in the evening, she came to block the car on the road. She had daily garnements still on. I removed then and she walked away peacefully.

The second one is 8, and grew up with very limited human contact for her first 5 years : breeder who barely manipulated them. She’s the least interested in humans, and the most friendly to other horses. I’ve had her for only 3 years but I don’t think we’ll ever reach the communication level of the first one.

The third one is 4, which is young for a horse, so she still has lots of playfulness and curiosity towards humans, and I haven’t owned enough horses to know how she’ll turn out, if it will fade or not!

Well if anyone had doubts, it’s better to be a different looking person now than during medieval times. That is even scarier than the torture itself to me.

Yep. Not the same in most of EU where proof of efficiency is most often required. Which also explains why some people need to go to the US for treatment

FeLV has a vaccine. Also I guess it’s regional, here not that many cases. Also have personally seen multiple cats live well past 10 with FIV, with no treatment as they are none. 2-3 years seems super short from what I’ve seen so I wouldn’t blame FIV only. (I am an European vet)

US I imagine ? It’s a few hundreds here.

You were talking about a junior position in your post, not mid-career move.

Yeah it’s still pretty nice to have navigation

I don’t know what you graduated in. But I was given a chance at my first good company because I followed a pretty elitist (natural sciences I must add) curriculum. But in the meantime, I had found consulting jobs pretty easily. And even if they’re crap it launches you in the career.

The murder rate in other countries that do not have this gun legislation?

I don’t really envy her because her personal life doesn’t seem as amazing as her cs skills. She wrote about it at some point, I’m pretty sure.

3, two desktop (Ubuntu both) one laptop (OS X)

Just a few weeks ago I also had one iMac and one old MacBook but I just sold them both.

Also one iPhone one iPad and one Apple Watch. And one car if that counts too.

I don’t know, I see girls obsessing over their image, grown women obsessing over their image, selfies taken everywhere all the time just to show one’s face…

Super interesting take! I would love to learn more about it (as as fellow rider).

I loved this article but I can't like it without an account.

> The real thing people should be actively looking for is strong emotional connection, as in: to what degree can I share who I am with this person, do they get it, how interested are they in who I am, my feelings and thoughts, can we accommodate each other’s preferences, are we good at talking.

I am in an hopefully now lifelong relationship, that almost failed at some point, but what brought us back together is this. So very true. We just "got" each other, from pretty early on, and although it can be crafted through years, it's just a bliss when it's spontaneous. And finding that level of connection (of course strengthened through the years together) again looks impossible.

(And if they stalk my account, I love you :) )

that is so funny, I learned that today too on a completely different page!!!

That is part of the strange

What a strange and salty message

I work two jobs, the second one is not possible remotely. Now that the first one (SWE) is fully remote, my interactions with coworkers in job 2 are more intense and I feel much more a part of Company 2 than before.

So I need human interactions but it’s fine if it’s another group of people. I have hobbies outside with people too, but the mandatory aspect of a job, and the variety of people (compared to a hobby where we all like the same thing) just makes it better.

Which browser?

I would've stopped at the part where the cat can make them fall one by one with her paw. Let her grab food that way, that will make her busy longer than when dropping the meals.

Vinted

Midnight snacks?

Recipients do not do so well in covid times, do they?

Why do you have kidney failure?

Hello

I am not sure you will see my message as I’m late to the party but I would like to reach out to you.

Not that much. I especially hate youtube and will read over watch a video any time of the day, I do not have instagram, I do not own cable tv, I do not watch sports.

But to give more insight into what motivates me in life, I have been blessed with the love of nature and animals especially, own pets, taking care of which is a daily time and money sink, but also without fail gets me outside each day of the year and in a good mood and shape, and allows me some peaceful moments where I do not think about anything else than the present moment and some kind of nature "communion" of sorts, around pets and nature.

And I sincerely think it is a blessing, as I think I have a rather simple and happy life, and haven't been distraught durably for years. I feel for all the stressed people out there that do not have such an easy way to relax.

Being ignorant of most religious things is socially not that big of a problem in my experience, you eventually miss some references in pop culture though.
