(Well, I must say, you mentioned you’re not a native English speaker, but you could fool anyone because your English is crazy good - what is your native language?)

I agree, it’s a real strength and something you can learn to control and use when you need it. It has definitely led to burnout situations for me in the past. For me, I think that comes from wanting to meet the expectations I feel I’ve set, but I’ve struggled to differentiate between expectations that I’m setting for myself vs. what others actually expect. My entire life I’ve worked harder than needed, most likely. Does this sound familiar to you? It’s definitely led to some success for me that I don’t feel is really deserved, but I’m learning to be a little more grateful for it these days :)

Completely agree with your suggestion for handling this issue. This is something I’ve experienced most of my life as well and have only started realizing it at work the past few years. As I started working on more complicated subjects with a lot of room for ambiguity and error, I really have to make sure and qualify what I know for certain and what is more speculation in my work conversations.

Which, in a way, means they failed at failing!

Not when every response is a 503 (taps head)!

Exactly. If you’re someone who engages in piracy, you should be quite used to putting in this type of effort.

Can find some great deals at thrift shops if you’re not too picky about resolution!

I’m significantly overweight and agree with this.

Lori Denae - 16 monthly listeners. Kinda Wanna is a great song.

Maida Rose - 1,192 monthly listeners. Harmony of Heartache is great too!

Just moved to Indiana, can confirm.

Sure, Dad

Have lots of those in Oregon. They are required to sell some food so they aren’t just straight up gaming establishments, but is a semi government-sanctioned way to bend gambling laws. “Lotto Delis” they’re sometimes called.

Are you in Switzerland? Another commenter was mentioning a wool shop with no customers that seemed like a front, lol.

My dude that is Stevie Wonder, not Ray Charles.

The problem in the US is that increasing productivity among individuals is not scaling evenly with increasing benefits for individuals. So despite the success of large scale agriculture or the efficiency offered by computers, it feels like “productivity for productivity’s sake” at best or “productivity for the wealthiest individuals’ sake” at worst. It is not productive for me to work harder at my job because it does not translate to any tangible benefit for me, my family, or my community. To me, this is what makes “productivity” feel like an abstract concept.

Disgusting.

Only been using it for a couple of hours, but have to say this is a super impressive Beta. Might be my bias towards original Sync, but so far this is easily outdoing the other Lemmy clients I’ve tried (Jerboa, Connect, Liftoff).

Speaking of pet topics, my pet goldfish is really the best goldfish ever. He just slips his way into any conversation at all, much like this one.

Yes, I had this happen to me last year. Insurance covered it under comprehensive, no noticeable change to my insurance rate.

To add to this, in this case there is even some rationale for being closed source - given the critical nature of the code, less visibility means availability to examine it for exploit opportunities. But that’s just one side of it, right? Open source might mean more opportunities to find and fix possible exploits as well.

Exciting to see!
