Yo hi! I usually post things about linguistics, science, biology, environmental science, health, and recently, some stuff on numbers. I'm an advocate for freedom of communication
I'm a bunch of things but I mainly focus on environmental science, training people into becoming scientists, and an array of aspects about communication. A strong future for humanity and life depends on good community and good communication. I accidentally became a linguist, and I've made a few alphabets, my latest one is called NewEng and it does a good job of encapsulating both English pronunciation & its accents, and English etymology.
We've got
Entomology
Etymology
Philosophy
Psychology
Geology
Astronomy
Maths
Sciences
Cookery
Painting
Dancing
Music
Guitars
Architecture
Geometry
Linguistics
Etc
And some people still are bored and have no interest in anything
Is it depression?
Is it stupidity?
Is it narcissism?
I'm at a loss
A reminder:
If it's not a resounding "yes", it's a no.
People: "Windows is perfect, you nor a team couldn't improve on it if you tried"
Me: *kills dwm.exe cos things are laggy*
Dwm.exe: releases 8GB+ of RAM
Mmhmm sure, Windows couldn't be improved upon

If someone seems to be being stubborn about something, perhaps ask them why (with genuine interest and desire to understand) and listen to them and believe them and don't try to change their mind (unless it's like life or death or an intervention is necessary)
There's probably a reason.
Alternative to meditation!:
1. Learn a new language. The more different it is from your native language, the better.
2. Speak it a lot. Get fluent, but don't learn much vocabulary.
3. Don't speak your native language much.
4. Voilà! After several months your mind will struggle to echo thoughts.

For anyone who claims this is a new problem under Trump — it's not, he's just made it easier to be open and brazen about it.

Recently my octa core 12 GB ram phone has been unbearably, unusably laggy.
This seems to be directly caused by the Proton Drive app, trying to do file encryption and backup in the background.
This is Yet Another Nail In The Coffin, stacking up against Proton overall, as a service and as a company.

They're Babylonyists.
They're trying to build Babylon.
Oh, happy summer solstice blessings. May we bring peace to this world — starting from within. As within, so without.

When it rebooted, it randomly decided to boot a different uefi boot entry.
No idea why, and I couldn't test it further.
