I don't believe in an afterlife and I'm not afraid of dying. No copium. My death will be a much bigger problem for those around me than it is for me. My problems will be over.

Now, I have kids and a wife and here and now my death would leave them in a bad situation, and I don't want that. There are lots of things I'm looking forward to, but if I don't get them... that's just life. There are no guarantees and I don't expect any.

I just don't want anything lingering or debilitating where I'm a drain on my loved ones. As lonely and horrible as it would be, I would want them to move on and let me go and not take drastic action to spend all their time focused on me.

When I was young I was terrified of dying. Now I've accomplished everything that really mattered to me. That's the big difference to me. I'm satisfied with my life and now I just need to do as much as I can for my family and myself with whatever time I have left.

Definitely don't do this. Not that you should listen to randos online for life advice, but in this case... no, don't do this.

'Amoral' might be a strong word, but it's definitely an asshole move. I'd judge someone who did that harshly.

Firstly, she lacks the warmth and depth, but secondly I don't want to think about Steven Miller having sex.

But not the conspiracy post suggesting Putin ordered Trump to invade Venezuela? Hmmm...

A half dozen daily? All I can say is your perspective strikes me as highly industry-dependent.

I have a bunch but I don't think I'd recommend any of them, necessarily. Mostly they are familiar names and you either want them or don't. I do pay for Bit Warden. And I would like to anti-recommend Nord VPN for shitty practices. I donate monthly to my Lemmy server.

That's about it.

If only the radical left would stop pardoning fraudsters!

Tom's Hardware used to be one of my primary destinations on the web, but it has really fallen off. I'll bet I've been there at most twice in the last year.

Honestly though, as both a developer and a user SPAs could get fucked for all I care. I don't think it's a requirement of SPAs, but they seem to do so much unnecessary bullshit. So many bad development practices. I don't hate the concept of SPAs, but it's clearly just asking too much of the average contract developer.

As I recall, Boston market had decent bacon, but it's been forever since I've been.
