I will never not complain about bugs that obviously someone put in the effort to do the wrong thing when the correct would have been easier.

I usually only use the terminal when I don’t find an alternative, but powershell usually feels a bit saner than bash.

I’ve also tried nushell, also nice, but in a few situations powershell despite usually being verbose was more “elegant”.

I’m glad powershell is cross-platform nowadays. It’s a bit saner.

Better would be to leave the 1970s and never interact with a terminal again…

For the “present” of the rest of the universe it is just empty space, the Solar System is in a bubble of spacetime completely disconnected from the rest and continuously shifted 15 minutes.

It is a plot point in the sci-fi series Perry Rhodan, where they push the whole solar system 15 minutes into the future (iirc) to hide it from the rest of the universe.

As a theology nerd:
All the parts that show that The Path of Christ is sacrificing oneself for the freedom of the “lesser”.
Which I’d say is most of the Bible, much of the early Fathers’ writings, a lot from Martin Luther (I know he also has some really evil stuff, leave those out), most of Bonhoeffer’s, a lot of C. S. Lewis, and certainly a lot more im forgetting.

Brazil certainly should be broken down by state, I imagine the USA as well.

My state in south Brazil has VERY strict controls on animals entering the state so we can use less antibiotics and other stuff.

Hopefully I’m wrong, but that’s what I learned of the world. If I’m being disingenuous it’s not intentional.

Search images of “favela”, tens of millions of Brazilians live in those, and Brazil is one of the “developing” countries; most countries are poorer.

A curiosity: despite the common interpretation, the intended meaning of the original painting if there was any, is unknown. It was found on a wall of his house after his death.

Why? The 12 days of Christmas go until January 5-6 😉

90% is an exaggeration, sure, but it still is true for a large majority of the planet.

I’m from Brazil. It’s impressive how fast BYD cars have been multiplying in my city.

I certainly am…

40% of centrally treated sewage. The rest goes into domestic septic tanks.
It’s not ideal, but we don’t have sewage running on open air if that’s what you imagined, and if you visited you wouldn’t notice.

The state is Santa Catarina. As I said, it’s one the most developed in the country, the living quality is similar to some European countries.

I mean relatively.

Search for images of “favela”. Tens of millions of Brazilians live in those. The better ones are built with brick, many are just scrap wood and cardboard.

And Brazil is one of the “developing” countries.

I may be a cringy idiot, but I’m an ally.
I genuinely hope you stay safe and if we ever crossed paths I would shelter you from the government without hesitation.

I’m just pointing out that most likely you will still be better in the US than in most of the planet.

I do have toilet paper and live in one of the most developed regions of my country. Even then my city only has 40% of sewage coverage.

“Developed Nations” is a small minority of the world.

Maternal mortality, yes, you are right, but that’s just one metric.

I don’t mean to minimize the problems of the US, and I’m sure there are plenty examples of squalor, and they should be treated seriously.

But proportionally and relatively speaking, most ghetto people in the US live like kings compared to most of the planet.

I agree that that’s terrible and USians should be furious with it.

But living a little bit in the US, even if getting deported/killed later is still a better situation than most of the planet.

Yes. I also don’t want to say that because there’s worse in other places that the US problems aren’t legitimate.
