I agree with you, but I’m afraid some people don’t care if everybody loses, including themselves, as long as no one has it better than them.


That makes sense, thanks for clarification.


I’m pretty much the same, but for the games of chance; As long as the prize isn’t monetary, I tend to do really good. Coin flip because two people asked the day off and only one can take it? Sorry for the other guy.
Another thing that I’m really good at is pushing a button. If for some reason something doesn’t work after pushing a button (either computers or machinery), just complain to me it isn’t working. I’ll ask if I can try, and somehow it always works. Actually a very usefull skill when I worked as an operator in various chemical plants. Coworkers had mixed feelings about it tough.


There are people who are always lucky, and those who are unlucky. The lucky ones tend to win more coin flips, have less accidents, and if they fail it will be upwards.


it might sound preachy to those who are ignorant
Am I reading it wrong, or are you saying that people who have a different point of view are ignorant?

AC/DC especially has the same drum rythm for all songs.


Depends on the kind of stupid. I’ve met the kind of stupid who inspired the likes of Dunning and Kruger, and those people are dangerous. I’ve also met the kind who very well what their own capabilities were, and they could do better than some of the people that were considered “smarter”.


Current research states Neanderthals were generally as smart as us.

There was also William the third of Orange, who first lived in the Netherlands where he had no wife but a lot of really close friends who would visit him frequent behind closed doors. He eventually married his cousin Mary Stuart and became the king of England and Scotland in 1689.


I know, but since my company pushes the update like this with the help of a big supporting firm, I’d wager that it’s done like this at a lot of other firms too.


How would you measure the time it takes to wake up without somehow monitoring brain activity externally? I mean, you start sleeping, so at best a dodgy perception of time, and at some point in time you’re awake. For me it would be impossible to tell the time it takes, might be a second, might be an hour.


Let’s give it to Trump tomorrow, before his mind is gone so far that he can’t be held accountable anymore!


Probably sooner than later. My work laptop was updated to W11 yesterday, and buy did they screw up the group policy. Every time I open a new tab in Edge I get distracted from what I try to do, since I can’t disable background image, MSN news and all the other shit. Every time I lock the computer the screen stays on, no way to turn it off. And copilot is just everywhere.
