I saw the popup a month or so ago for the first time, and 10 days ago after that. Simply manually updating uBlockOrigin filters did it for me both times.

I'm on the spectrum and whenever I think about possible regrets I might have on my deathbed, I always end up thinking “Who cares, I'm going to die anyway. Everything I have experienced will vanish with me, including the regrets I might possibly have.” It's nihilistic but I can’t help it.

I saw the popup just once, I updated most of the filters used by uBlockOrigin and I haven't seen it since.

A relevant documentary, although slightly more about women and the world in general, is Birthgap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6s8QlIGanA, where they talk about "unplanned childlessness"

How does that work in dating? If you are afraid of making people uncomfortable by asking them out, escalating things and putting them in situations where they have to say no to you, you may just end up being single for life.

These are somewhated dated but well worth watching; the professor does all kinds of approximations.

"Arm" and "hand" are two very different things (I guess?), but they are the same word (рука) in Russian.

I have noticed that Wikipedia is often pushed to the bottom of the page compared to a few years ago where it would always be at the very top.

yeah, no way "food will be handed out for free" when you can make a profit by selling it; they'd rather throw it away (as they do right now) than give it away for free

What pisses me off is that some legitimate websites like project goutenberg are all blocked by my Internet provider in Italy and I have to go through a VPN to access them. Same for scribd, vdoc, libgen and so on.

Any specific thread that might be particularly enlightening/interesting?

"pure" in the context of functional programming often means "without side effects", so writing a log file, interacting with a database and so on would also make the function not pure

In some of the ones I get the filled data is all uppercase so they are very easy to spot.
