Than you live in a better place than me. Well done to you and your community :)

are almost certainly being donated to homeless shelters being thrown away and people who are taking some are persecuted… and hog farmers

fixed that for you :)

Well, this was a life-changing comment.

The more technology pervades society the more pronounced this will get. The sheer helplessness of people when faced with problems that seem trivial to some is scary. Especially when you see people losing final theses or critical work related data because they never learned about backups.

Add to that tech companies trying to hide the concept of a file system, and it seems like this is by design to sell more shit.

Society has to acknowledge that half of its members are of below average intelligence. And we need a way to handle the lowest tenth, since they are a danger to themselves and others.

He dumped core. All over the floor. What a mess.

Because I don’t want to be forced to adapt by others.

We are all forced all the time to follow social norms. Short of moving to a cabin in the woods, this is inescapable, for better or worse. In this master/main debate it seems like we can make some people happy with minimal cost. In the end it is a tiny irrelevance, when compared to other norms being changed.

“main” is shorter than “master”. “sub” is shorter than “slave”. Why worry about social issues when you can just type less and move on? :)

If you truly believe you have nothing to hide, please post your full name and address, telephone number, email, bank balance, an assessment of your relationship to your parents and a link to your complete photo folder as a response to this comment.

How do you know which option to pick though, if both seem equivalent in the moment?

When faced with seemingly equivalent choices, pick the once that maximizes your future options.
