I distinctly recall thinking inner monologues were a “neat idea” after seeing them on TV as a child and thinking it would be a useful skill to learn. I never did though

A “full update script” so I don’t forget a package manager. It should probably be an alias but whatever, I run the script

In UK English, it’s considered proper to write “the 6th of March” as “6 March” and sometimes read as “6th March” which can be jarring to Americans as their shorthand is “March 6th” and when “6(th) March” is encountered in written form, it’s expanded to the full “6th of March” when spoken
That doesn’t mean this won’t be yet another feature American English absorbs from UK English but right now flipping them in speech requires a few extra syllables and people are lazy
You’re holding the chart upside down
VTI is down over 5% YTD at time of writing
“just as good”? No, I feel it is (and has been for years) vastly superior but I mostly use it to find documentation or Stack Overflow answers so consistent UI and concise summaries are high priority to me. Take that as you will
I don’t think anybody can dethrone Google Maps yet but that’s another story
“preventable disease” and “Americans” are very broad terms
Yep. Low bar to clear
The challenge isn’t finding counter examples, it’s limiting the narrative of history to have a simple “good/bad divide” but here are some selections of underdogs one may consider the greater of two evils:
As for David and Goliath, keep in mind David was using a sling, a weapon that can hit with the same force as a modern revolver when used properly. It’s entirely possible that story is an allegory and/or propaganda of the value of properly equipping one’s armies; it probably shouldn’t be viewed as anymore impressive than a rampage killer fatally wounding somebody twice their size

Were they kicked out solely for having a differing opinion? Then it’s indisputably an echo chamber
Do the members seldom here opposing opinions outside of strawmen arguments or the occasional troll? Then it’s a defacto echo chamber
All organizations with common interests run the risk of becoming one, but the trap is particularly insidious for (and often weaponized by) online communities
You can just make them talk to one of those shitty models from the early 2010s
Who says this and what makes them think this phenomenon is exclusive to the US?
Che Guevara, Julius Ceasar and Galileo are household names globally and martyrdom is–in the words of religious leaders everywhere–“a whole thing, y’know”
Weird to use a game that decided to drop its official Linux support for this meme
These are relatively easy to find in Japan
Couldn’t tell you why but they are
Flying cars are also horrifying: they’ve existed for about a century, popular culture won’t accept they’re a bad idea and imagine the research breakthroughs drone warfare would experience if a consumer market were funneling funds in from a whole new closely-related industry
How did that cat manage to keep its phone’s reflection out of this selfie?

Same way you overcome any of life’s challenges: decide it’s impossible bullshit and move onto another game
Sometimes they quiet down out of confusion but I once got hit with a “DADDY, QUIET!!” between screams out of my kid when she got a bit older and wised up to the act
