Quite a few in Austria, too. Mostly Rams. I remember one with license plate along the line of "Love USA", then one with a sticker "HATERS HOTLINE 0800-321-EAT-SHIT". A great tell that only assholes with insecurities drive these.

We do read what you write, you're just wrong. Or maybe lacking compassion. Or just don't understand that everyone is different and that education systems generally suck.

When I was a kid, I had two classmates who had accommodations due to their learning disabilities. Nobody thought, hey, they should "be moved to the institutions that will force them to study", because they didn't not want to study. They just needed help. Did the rest of us feel threatened or jealous of them? No. We either didn't care or were happy they got at least a bit of help in this cookie-cutter system.

On the flip side, I was surrounded by straight A students in HS, but 99% of them forgot the material once they were graded on it and ultimately retained the same level of knowledge (sometimes less!) than me who was a B/B- student. And then people like that go on to be shitty doctors, because all they do is learn by heart with little to no understanding of the material, and the educational system rewards that.

The more I read your comment, the more insane it sounds.

This is what I had to do couple of years ago: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1500#note_1854170

It seems it has been fixed since.

Remove the yellow bubble and this is my brain to myself every day. It's genuinely exhausting at times, lol.

Like another person here explained, many of them hate using these thumbnails and titles. Unfortunately, they have to play these stupid games, if they want the dumb algorithm to advertise their content. YouTube all-around has become pretty awful for finding new stuff. Even the search is utter garbage. It's all about the shitty algorithm.

I've seen a comment complaining about too much oil on the recipe for... chilli crisp oil. Idiots are everywhere.

I'm just tired of seeing the extremes, including the "people who drive cars are evil" stances. When in reality we're all getting fucked by uneducated assholes, rich car lobbyists and corrupted gov'ts who push against good public transportation—among many other things for public good.

Re: emergency. They didn't drive themselves, but one parent drove the other one. My grandma once had to take a taxi because the ambulance wouldn't come. Yeah, things are fucked in my home country. Many of the reasons I emigrated and why I don't plan on going back.

FWIW not everyone can thrive on 100% plant-based diet due to genetic differences.

We had that basically from the first grade of primary school. Each month a new book. It started with just summarizing the text, then gradually went from writing what you think the moral of the story is, to giving a full breakdown and analysis. 12 years of that, for the books I found mind-numbingly boring, that I ended up weaseling/cheatig my way through most of it without even reading. I remember giving my best to try read through the entire Crime and Punishment, but giving up 1/3 into the book. All the classic literature—just not for my brain.

Didn't help that while my primary school teacher had tried to cultivate my creative writing (45 minute, graded assignment), my secondary school teacher was a snob who graded me lower just because she "didn't like my style". God, I hated school, lol.

I still like reading modern fantasy and some other genres, so there's that, but school almost completely turned me off from reading.

Same here. If I could I'd only WFH, but we only get a few days a week. I don't have an issue disconnecting mentally from work. However, I think a big contributor is I don't exactly hate my current job. I sometimes surprise myself how easily and quickly I switch off.

My TL on the other hand prefers the office, probably because they have two young kids, who can be quite loud and require lots of attention.

Look, some of us are monster fuckers and you'll have to deal with it.

I've been taking the malate variety, but decided to switch to oxide midway through, because I got a bottle of it for free. It took me a week to realize that magnesium oxide was the one causing diarrhea. So yeah, there's definitely a difference between magnesium varieties.
