Why do you think the New York Post should be citable?

That's why we have president Trump. After smartphones were introduced, the masses who couldn't handle a keyboard made it on to Twitter.

The reason you don't enjoy work is because if your manager sees that you are happy, he thinks you are not working hard enough. They find a way to achieve their success metric of making you unhappy. This happens in a lot of offices. Success metric achieved.

If you were happy, you would do better work, and more efficient work. Unfortunately, "better" and "more efficient" are not success metrics (in many cases).

Why do you think that? I would expect vape to cause fewer lung cancers.

For example, cigarette smoke is rich in benzopyrene (which is mostly absent in vape, but still present in small quantities). In the lungs, benzopyrene reacts with cell DNA in a way that causes G bases to convert to thymine bases. Sometimes the conversion happens on the P53 (tumor suppressor) gene, leading to cancer.

It's thought that benzopyrene causes about a third of the lung cancer tumors. Of course, there are other carcinogens (60 or more) in cigarettes. Vape is still a health problem for the user, but it's better than cigarettes because there are fewer carcinogens.

Often an appropriate series of questions can help bring them back as a contributory conversation member.

That actually explains a lot about you.

I like games. I've played a lot of them.

But once you start getting the hang of reality, it's more addicting than any game. When you win in the real world, you win in the real world.

"Ah, the good old days. When I was your age, when we were bored, we consumed poison! The real stuff, not these modern microplastic thingies. You kids don't know how good it is. And sometimes we watched the wall. Because it was better than watching TV."

A computer is analog sent through a hi/low pass filter. It's either in your bag or its not.

I send them this video (alt="Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer").

People who read books are intellectually superior, they should feel that way. Even those people who only read them to impress people are more knowledgeable than people who haven't read...those people aren't the best, but they have more knowledge than people who only watch things like bachelor, and don't read. If you're entire worldview is created by daytime TV and Netflix, then you are only pitiable.

If people can discuss what they've read, they are more likely to be interesting than people who haven't read.

And this is fact: if more Americans read in order to impress people or for any reason, we wouldn't have president Trump.

Life was not placid under Bush, if it wasn't yellowcake, it was warcrimes. Domestically he wanted to get rid of social security. We're lucky he got shut down by congress his second term.

This lecture from Oxford on Lie Group Theory is probably acceptable.

How to say you don't know about OpenBSD development processes without saying you don't know.

Next time research before posting about OpenBSD. Even ChatGPT knows more about OpenBSD security development processes than you do, and that's the biggest possible insult.

If you want to say the same thing without being obviously biased, you can refer to this conventional Israeli wisdom:

Greater Israel, Democracy, or Jewish majority. Pick two.

This is far from certain. Often when a company wants to be bought, they hire people to lead purchasers to believe they are growing faster than reality. Caveat emptor.
