I like that Cory Doctorow is pretty open about having been scammed despite being quite well informed, because it really can happen to anyone. It just takes the right convergence of factors.

All the time. My life has been pretty good when it comes to external circumstances, but I have a severe lifelong mood disorder.

So I’m constantly feeling bad and there’s never any ‘reason’.

Same in Sweden, it’s understood that it’s going to suck and you’ll be uncomfortable but that it’ll pass. It’s a given for a lot of people here that it won’t be a problem to stop working while sick. Just rest and small comfort measures (for me, nose spray, ibuprofen if needed, sleeping and whining to myself).

Was it because of that other post about the two genders Fe (iron) and Mn (Manganese)?

Well it does say “4life”

Seems like only the US is available. I am also curious about a product like this that’d deliver to Sweden.

Image transcript:

Law makes long spokes of the short stakes of men.
Your well fenced out real estate of mind
No high flat of the nomad citizen
Looks over, or train leaves behind.

Your rights extend under and above your claim
Without bound; you own land in Heaven and Hell;
Your part of earth’s surface and mass the same,
Of all cosmos’ volume, and all stars as well.

Your rights reach down where all owners meet, in Hell’s
Pointed exclusive conclave, at earth’s centre
(Your spun farm’s root still on that axis dwells);
And up, through galaxies, a growing sector.

You are nomad yet; the lighthouse beam you own
Flashes, like Lucifer, through the firmament.
Earth’s axis varies; your dark central cone
Wavers a candle’s shadow, at the end.

Why would you go there?

Honestly, nothing. No matter how strong my interest is in something, it will eventually shift dramatically and I’ll have trouble listening to any other thing.

Same to be honest. I was small, weak and also bullied; but some other kids were bullied in a way it feels like I wouldn’t be able to get over.

I just watched and even laughed if everyone else was laughing.

Not the person you replied to, and not a kink, but:

I would absolutely be more willing to clean my ears if I had this straw-like mechanism. I still do it, but it feels like a huge effort. I also end up with drops all over me.

I can’t really explain why.

I’m inverse you.

Genuinely overthinking this very reply.

Luckily, I’m also impulsive.

Sweden

I love the kind of mangoes I used to get in the tropics. Small, very sweet, yellow skin with soft fibers. I’d plock them directly from any tree around me. The skin itself was soft and sweet so no peeling needed.

There’s another kind of mango that locally we called “manga”. It’s bigger, often with reddish and greenish colors mixed with the yellow. It’s more fibrous and significantly less sweet. I really don’t like these, but it’s all I can get where I live now, possibly because the ones I like are harder to preserve and export.

For me, I just get an additional urgency, like, if they block these things more and more I may as well download as much as I can while I still can. As a side effect I’m also passively seeding more.

This is what I live for. :D

I agree with most of that. In formal settings, I prefer full sentences with conjunctions; however, choppy sentences are the ones that often end up in my Lemmy comments.

Yes, I tend to do that, and thankfully some of my colleagues do too. Clever but readable solutions, following good and relevant practices, clear documentation, making a good MR description that makes it easier to review, and more.

I am really happy when people are quite strict in code reviews, it makes me feel safer and I get to learn more.

Nothing worse than some silent approvals with no real feedback. What if I missed something obvious… and now it’s merged.

To be fair, I also enjoy getting my grammar corrected. I’m juggling 3 languages and things can get messy.

This is why I left medicine.
