I mean, seriously: Now that I'm in treatment, that is how I finally contain the messes! Clothes in the laundry basket, not flying around everywhere, shoes stuffed all in one place (that is even a god-damn shoe rack!) dirty dishes IN THE SINK (!!!), all the paper on the desk nicely in ONE stack ...

If that is rage bait, they sure got me.

The whole video makes no sense to me. Why does she have to throw away the shoes she likes? She looks like she has a decent income and can certainly afford a hobby that takes up as much space as 50 shoes. (I'm not like that, I have ONE pair, but to each their own.)

And what's up with the pens? I never have enough pens, wish I owned a glass of pens! I often consider buying a whole drawer of pens and thrown them around the house, but never get to it. How do you accidentally acquire so many working pens that you have to throw them out?

Nobody uses the word "woke" earnestly anymore. It's either the pejorative yer dad or uncle uses to refer to anything and everything they don't like (see previously; "politically correct" and "hippie"), or it's deployed facetiously making fun of anyone who uses it as a stop-gap to actually expressing what they mean. Frankly, I'm a little tired of it. I'd like to see it put in the ground where it belongs.

So, I say we shift the connotation one more step. Woke shouldn't just mean "this person has left(ish) politics I don't like". It should mean "this person makes politics their whole personality, left or right". Woke should mean someone who's very vocal about the political, without actually being politically active.

The woke chud suddenly cares about Charlie Kirk because he's in the news.

The woke liberal is outraged that the FBI director tried to paint the shooter as trans, but think democrats should step away from the messy trans messaging.

you get the idea, it's kinda like how back on the subreddit, we baffled and outraged a bunch of chuds by calling them :LIB:

Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) has carried out a large-scale cyber operation against Russian proxy authorities in occupied Crimea, gaining access to more than 100 terabytes of classified data, a source told the Kyiv Independent on September 24.

The hack reportedly exposed the official correspondence of Crimean occupation head Sergey Aksyonov, along with internal documents and communications across Russian-controlled ministries and agencies.

Among the most significant findings were records documenting the illegal abduction of Ukrainian children from occupied areas of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions, Kyiv Independent reported. The files include lists of minors taken to Russia and Crimea, with personal details, guardian information, and places of residence or study.

[...]

The breach also allegedly uncovered detailed lists of Russian military personnel, including personal and family data, as well as records on prisoners, casualties, and compensation documents such as “funeral allowances” and land plot requests in Crimea.

So, after putting in my instance name, piefed.zeromedia.vip, and my admin username, guynamedzero, what is supposed to happen? It said that I'd receive a message with an api key, or something along those lines, but I don't think I've received anything. Upon trying again, it tells me: There was an api error: You have already claimed this instance as this admin. Please use the PATCH method to reset your API key. What am I supposed to do from here?

A major fire at South Korea's national data centre has crippled some government online services and internal networks, prompting a race on Saturday to bring the systems back online and a probe of what sparked a lithium-ion battery to start the blaze.

The fire is suspected to have started with an explosion on Friday night of the battery produced by South Korea's LG Energy Solution

Sorry for the weird source, a YouTube Post, but this is where I first saw it.

Part of the Republicans' Big Beautiful Bill includes a stipulation (that Planned Parenthood is challenging in court) that no federal funding or Medicaid dollars would be given to clinics that provide abortion. It was already against the law for any organization to use federal dollars towards abortion services other than for cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the pregnant person. In other words, no one's tax dollars were being used to fund abortions.

Activists say this was a targeted move to finally 'defund' Planned Parenthood, a long-term goal of Republicans.

Medical facilities, including Planned Parenthood, need that money to stay open. So, the Wisconsin branches, even though they're in a state where abortion is legal, will stop performing abortions since they can't afford to lose the federal money.

The European Union will draw up plans to build and help finance interlinked drone defences across the entire continent’s borders and critical infrastructure, the bloc’s defence commissioner said, after a spate of recent airspace violations by Russia.

EU defence ministers held a hastily arranged meeting on Friday after Russian manned and unmanned aircraft repeatedly crossed into European airspace in recent weeks, prompting calls for the continent to develop a “drone wall”.

“It is very clear that our capabilities to detect drones are not at that level which we need,” European defence commissioner Andrius Kubilius said after the meeting.

Brussels will provide “financial and industrial assistance” to countries after agreeing a “common approach” to the challenge, Kubilius said. Ministers pushed for a multilayered system including radars, acoustic detection systems and machine guns to down low-tech drones, he said.

As above question.

Are they counted as 'digitally excluded' and how fucked are the actually digitally excluded residents?

Imagine this: you walk into a public restroom in China, but instead of just grabbing toilet paper… you have to scan a QR code and watch an ad first 😅. Only then will the machine dispense a tiny sheet of tissue. Don’t feel like watching? You can also pay 0.5 RMB (about $0.07) for a bit more paper 💸. This system is designed to cut down waste — some people would abuse free paper before. Now, it’s all about “watch an ad or pay a coin.” Would you sit through an ad for free toilet paper, or just drop the 0.5 yuan? 👀 . . .

Hello. 22M here. Majoring in Physics, 1st year. Looking for decent earning options, almost as a whole career, but I have no idea which way to go.

Let me tell you a bit about myself. I have a strong fictional imagination, basically a writer's mind. English is not my native language. But I've practiced one or two short stories in my own language.

I have created multiple plots for multiple stories. I've intentions to start writing soon on them.

Anyway, I have close to zero bit of knowledge about coding. I only know html.

I had the time to pursue further into other languages like python, C, C++, but I'm very weak in mathematics. So I didn't learn further coding. I also didn't learn much mathematics, which has put me in an almost degraded institution for honours.

My current mental state cannot focus on one thing to pursue, I don't know why. Sometimes it gets all motivated to write the story, and other times, it gets depressed thinking about how AI is taking all the jobs and I have to learn to code to battle against AI with my own AI.

So this is the overall depiction of my shattered mind and life. I also come from a lower-middle class family. So money is scarce.

I don't want to argue about my moral ethics that if I want to earn money quickly, I can do this or that over my innate talent etc.

What I want to know is, which way will first build a strong foundation of knowledge within me and will keep me going for the long run along with the money.

Because, if I have to learn to code, I also have to study mathematics, if I want to write, I also need to research for a long time before I can even layer the elements inside the story.

My laptop broke 2 years ago and I've been on my android since then. I'm going to buy either a laptop or a tablet soon.

And a tablet adds another way which is digital arts. I don't know how to draw at all. But, as I said, whichever way I choose, I'll have to spend a bit long amount of time to actually train myself to be sufficient on that path. So I have no problem getting introduced to such new ideas and paths and spending time to get along with them.

I also got stuck between the device choice. If I buy a laptop, I'll be able to learn to code and to write my stories. And if I buy a tablet, I'll be able to learn to be a digital artist and can also write my stories but no coding.

So, the way the world's economy is going, which way and which device should I go after?
