Unless you're an independently wealthy jackass, I'm not sure how you can attack non-FOSS software users. I am a software engineer and I get paid to write software. I write some code for fun at home too and if people use any of my projects Im delighted. But if you want bug fixes and reliability and consistent new features and updates to apis and I have to listen to your bullshit complaints about how XYZ is better, you bet your ass I'm gonna charge for that.

It's like a baker making bread who gives out a few loaves for free at first. You don't get to complain if 100s of people show up demanding free bread and he starts charging them. Maybe communism is a system that demands people work for free, but elsewhere you're entitled to whatever wage the market will bear.

There are many people for who working isn't the meaning of life.

"Woke" means whatever anyone wants it to mean at any time.

Or is the theme of the movie about awareness of systemic racism in the US justice system? Haven't seen it myself

He wanted to prove he doesn't care about money and is fully willing to throw away $44 billion dollars on a shitpost

Usenet was great 10-15 years ago but nowadays it's flooded with fake / private downloads and retention is shit simply because the few remaining backbone providers comply with takedown requests. Absolutely useless for older content by any major studio. It's all new stuff which is mostly garbage anyway. We were able to get a ton of "this old house" recently though.

There is definitely a huge difference after 6 months of focusing on one thing. I've done hot yoga off and on over about 12 years and I'd say it took 6 months of going consistently before I felt like my body adjusted and it was more enjoyable. After 2 years I didn't feel like I was going to die and it actually became very enjoyable.

I've fallen off recently because it's easier to sit around and initially it does suck because you need to readjust. But I when I had gone 2-3x in a week, man I felt like a god. I started going in my 20s, I was high af all the time and knew I needed some exercise or I was gonna die.

I think it takes a certain person to love lifting weights of all things. But luckily there are lots of things out there

I don't think I truly understood why some people don't like spicy food until reading your comment.
