i've been using nothing but rails for the last 10 years, without missing anything. though had i known that tech like cableready/stimulus was on the horizon, i probably would have missed that. i'm always amazed when i read tech blogs focusing on the complexities, intricacies, and pitfalls of modern day JS development. then i look at the value it brings the visitor/customer, and 99% of the time i'm shaking my head in disbelief.
it's so weird that my experience of melting into the floor is nothing unusual, as i've now read a few times. it was terrifying by the way, and felt 100% real. crazy, crazy stuff.
a word of caution. if you have a history of substance abuse, you're probably better off trying most other meds before this one. the abuse potential due to its recreational value is pretty high. i stopped taking it after i realized it felt just like opiates in higher dosages. reddit addiction subs are full of threads regarding this substance.
or maybe they want to be seen. either to gauge our reaction, or for the same reasons we want our own areal craft to be visible: to help avoid collisions.
my adhd was still undiagnosed back in my school days, and i guess i'm kind of traumatised by that time because i regularly have nightmares about it, and am 100% certain i'd ball my eyes out if i ever met that one teacher again. that was almost 30 years ago.
edit: and all in all it was a pretty decent school
the whole concept makes zero sense.
when did i decide to enjoy the things that i like? when did i decide how my parents should raise me, or what personality forming experiences i should have as a child?
when did i decide to have adhd, which essentially makes me a slave to my impulses and desires (that i again never actively chose)?
either our decisions and actions are based on a timeline of prior experiences (plus genetic preconditions), starting with birth, over which we have zero control, or they're totally random, which
they are obviously not, otherwise our whole existence would be total chaotic randomness. on the other hand you have people claiming that some higher being
instilled some moral code in all humans, and that it's up to us to make the best out of it. in that case, again, those moral standards were not of our choosing.
i switched from irfanview to xnview about 15 years ago (now under linix), and never looked back. mind you, i don't know about irfanview's developments in that time.
looks that way to me too. seems to be a non issue in germany, i don't see why it would be different in other european countries. i live in one of the largest, and second most dangerous city going by crime statistics, and a good friend of mine lets his 5 and 7 year old kids cart their 2 year old around the block on their own, if they want to. can't remember the last time i read about a child being snatched off the street here.
how anyone could look at this contraption, and think "yep, this is fine" is beyond me. but so many things going on across the pond are. this is just one more.
