Aurenkin,

💯 I use Linux as my daily driver and don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything. It’s come such a long way! Still not perfect but it’s really incredible

Aurenkin,

I’m so glad we have all these new anti terrorism powers to stop all the terrorists like checks notes the ones who don’t want us all to burn and die for the sake of temporary corporate profits. Wait that doesn’t sound right, oh well at least we’re also using the against other terrorists like checks notes again YouTubers exposing government corruption… wait no what about checks notes whistleblowers exposing government corruption… for fucks sake there must be better examples… frantically checks notes …the lawyers of whistleblowers exposing corruption… Fucking hell I give up this is totally fucked

Aurenkin,

Not afraid of the dark, are you?

Aurenkin,

It’s amazing how one pain can diminish another

Aurenkin,

No but when I want to be objective I just turn off my biases before I read the thing so I’m good. It’s everyone else that can’t do that what has to worry.

Aurenkin,

Sir, by my calculations we can save millions by having developers switching to a light theme before printing their code for review.

Aurenkin,

Were you watching closely?

Aurenkin,

Damn dude, hope you’re doing ok. Things don’t sound great if being stranded at sea sounds like a better time.

Aurenkin,

That sounds perfect because I don’t want anyone to know I’m studying math.

Aurenkin,

What makes you think that?

Aurenkin,

Well if you think ‘because they say so’ is reason enough there’s not really any further to go here I don’t think. I was hoping you’d have a more interesting answer about how the economy is structured or how resources are distributed. It looks more like an authoritarian flavour of capitalism to me but I’m no politics expert so I only have a layman’s view, more than happy to be corrected.

Aurenkin,

Like back in the day when the Romans would have the engineer stand underneath the bridge while it was tested.

Aurenkin,

I burned it. Right down to the ground

Aurenkin,

To be honest as awesome as this game was I just want a new Battle for Middle Earth game.

Aurenkin,

I wonder who the last famous actor will be

Aurenkin,

What did you say?

Aurenkin,

Systemic problems require systemic solutions. It’s not enough to ask billions of people to independently change their spending habits unfortunately.

Aurenkin,

Hello from Taiwan, everyone! I haven’t lived here for all that long but it’s really a fantastic country. It has it’s problems for sure but it’s a great place to visit. Here are some other random things about Taiwan:

I recently had a medical issue that required 5 doctors visits, a blood test, an ultrasound and two weeks worth of medication. In total this cost me around $30 USD.

All citizens here can vote.

Taiwan was the first country in Asia to legalise same sex marriage.

People can and do regularly criticise their government, even on TV. Oh we can access the internet freely as well! CEOs also don’t randomly disappear after speaking critically about the countries leadership.

Back when China shot a bunch of missiles into the sea around the country (fuck you, btw), the news was interviewing people asking them if they were worried and it was great. There was a fisherman they talked to and he just waved his and and said “whatever, we just don’t fish there today”.

It’s a pretty strange and cool feeling to be able to “buy local” when purchasing laptops and electronics at least for me who lived in a country without much manufacturing beforehand.

So anyway, I don’t really know what I’m trying to say except that Taiwan is an awesome country. Hopefully the geopolitical situation can improve for us one day. Hope you’re all doing awesome wherever you are.

Aurenkin,

I think it shouldn’t be up to me (I’m a foreigner here) but the Taiwanese people should be free to be self governing if that’s what they want. Meaning a separate China and Taiwan which is the defacto reality right now. Not sure what you’re getting at with your other questions and I’m not an expert by any means but from my understanding the main thing preventing this is China’s anti-secession law.

Aurenkin,

My understanding is that a distinct national identity has formed in Taiwan and that seems to be strengthening over time so I’d be surprised if many folks would want to take back the mainland but I could be wrong.

Aurenkin,

Xi fired missiles over the heads of my friends and family because our country had a visitor he didn’t like.

Aurenkin,

No, I’m sure it was all perfectly safe and a very cool and normal thing to do. It was a bit different from ‘slightly raising his voice’ though which is what you originally said.

Aurenkin,

Nice set of high velocity goalposts you have there, friend. I don’t think I ever condoned anything done by the US, just called you out on your original statement.

Aurenkin,

Not sure what you mean by the touch typing thing, sorry.

If that’s really your view on the US though, that’s pretty extreme and you might want to question why you might hold such a view. As much as I hate the CCP, I don’t think I could say in good faith that it’s impossible to condone any of their actions at all.

Anyway, hope you’re having a good one wherever you happen to be.

Aurenkin,

We suffer more in imagination than reality

Aurenkin,

People like different things

Aurenkin,

I had to drag myself out of the house for strength training once a week at first. It took a while but I actually started enjoying it to the point that I go to the gym almost every day now. I think it helps a lot that the gym is like a 2 minute walk though.

Aurenkin,

So… you have chosen the way… of pain

Aurenkin,

Is this something that’s currently missing from the official app or am I just dumb?

Aurenkin,

Thanks for the recommendation, just installed Megalodon and it works a treat 👍

Aurenkin,

Haha yeah. Now let’s see Paul Allen’s karma…

Aurenkin,

Thank you
