Mr. Satan

I suppose there’s nuance in everything. That’s a fair criticism.

Listen man, we (as individuals) can’t care for or help everybody. Connect with the ones you care about and don’t harm everyone else. The fact that I don’t care about you, doesn’t mean we can’t coexist or even help each other.

Looking form another angle, why not wanting to socialize in stranger small talk is bad? Why I am expected to accommodate? Why can’t we just enjoy the silence in this hypothetical situation?

I see this sentiment more often than not. Me, as the less social party, is expected to move out of my comfort zone, but the person trying get me into a conversation isn’t expected do the same and just keep to themselves.

It doesn’t matter. If there is no free will, the illusion is strong enough to make me think that there is.

There is no way of proving if it’s chemistry, physics, will of god or actual free will. I feel like I have free will, it doesn’t matter what the truth is because the truth cannot break the illusion.

A brain can only make me feel free will and that’s all that matters practically.

The real answer is it doesn’t matter. I feel like I have free will hence I have free will for all meaningful intents and purposes.

Neither argument can be proven and even if it’s an illusion, it’s strong enough to make the truth irrelevant.

I hate small talk, because you (a stranger) do not interest me and I don’t care about trying to connect with you. I have neither the need nor the energy to try and am very comfortable just being in silence.

I small talk with people that I interact on a daily basis and need to communicate with (coworkers). Even then it heavily depends on how much energy I have.

I small talk with my friends and SO because I want to connect. So I put effort in to be present in the conversations.

It’s not right to lump small talk with a cashier, cab driver or a haircutter together with small talk with a friend or a partner.

I’ll have one zoom sideways to the left, please!

I’m gonna burn in hell for my sense of humor…

I am confused… She’s clearly not talking about the motorcycle. What’s the other Davidson?

That’ just how the cookie crumbles.

Honestly I do remember some months, like starting and ending of the year. I don’t encounter English month names on a regular enough basis to remember their order and my month names in no way relate to English ones.

So anything after February and before August I have to google each time I encounter them.

It doesn’t help that we don’t even have month abbreviations like English does (Jan, Feb, etc.).

Jokes on you, I can’t fucking rember which English month is which. April, May, July and Autum is just a grey mass to me.

The Microsoft thing is entirely regional. It’s not that Microsoft does dates a certain way, it’s your regional defaults. I live in a country that does dates the ISO and the computer displays them thay way.

Someone once told me that american date format follows the same pattern as regular speech. Like "26th of April, 2004. It made some sense to me, but that still feels a silly reason to discard just the sorting benefits.

Judging from screenshots in this article, it doesn’t seem to loose or gain any functionality: all of the same controls are present.

With this in mind.
Who cares!? It’s neither good nor bad. It’s like the thing with playback line color. Yes, it’s different, no, I didn’t notice until some pointed it out, no, I couldn’t care less.

No it doesn’t, multiplication and division always take precedence over addition and subtraction. You’d need parentheses to clarify what is in the divisor since that can be ambiguous with line notation.

Times 5 and times 10 tables are really easy for me. So yeah, in my mind it’s an easier comuptation.

That being said having a result of a little over a 1000 gives me an estimate for the magnitude of a number – it’s around a thousand. It might be more or less but it’s not far from there.

72 * 10 + 70 * 3 + 2 * 3

That’s what I do in my head if I need an exact result. If I’m approximateing I’ll probably just do something like 70 * 15 which is much easier to compute (70 * 10 + 70 * 5 = 700 + 350 = 1050).

Who’s to say what is right and wrong.

I’m a programmer and I definetly don’t like computers.
