It does if you think about how we're teached to react, since very young we (at least that's my experience) hear about women objetification and how it is irrational to represent every woman with an hourglass figurine

There is also a hateboner vibe coming from the incels (despite being an incel in the literal sense, I cannot explain that since I don'tidentidy with the modern 'incel' definition)

The key is to try to draw a line when it is too much, I don't think it is the case here but some prudish people mihjt disagree

Not that much, really I moved from Brazil to Portugal and I was surprised by both the culture similarity and the number of brazillians around

Still, when I arrived the closest people I knew were 2000km away hhaahaha, so even small changes can be challenging at times

I'm also in my late 20s, and I'm an immigrant (changed continents)

When I meet new people, ai usually have a hard time coming up with something to talk about, so I had (still have) a hard time making new friends.

What helped me was to have continuous contact with people in a focused environment, for example: with around 6 months of office attendance I started warming up to my new colleagues (which eventually became friends), even though we were usually talking about work back then, we started to talk about it less and less up to a point where we don't even work together anymore, but keep in touch

I found another of such environments in sports practices as well: don't want to talk about anything? Fine, let's just keep this ball rolling back and forth" but then eventually (again after a few months of continuous contact with the same group of people) things started to warm up a little

So to sum it up I'd say: patience is key, it usually takes a while before prople start to get along well

Yup, we are in agreement, though I might have missphrased my comments to imply that one shouldn't believe in energy

To that end, there is a quote from Dumbledore on one of the Harry Potter films (don't know which one) where he says: "of course this is in your head Harry, but does it make this less real?"

On the risk of looking like a lunatic philosopher, yes, I'd argue that gravity doesn't exist.

Even if energy is not manmade, the concept of energy is, or in other words: we invented this concept in order to more easily understand phenomena around us.

I see a lot of replies saying that "energy is in all things and is immutable", but we (at least I) can imagine a scenario where someone invents a whole new system to describe nature which might not use the concept of energy at all (or any other concept you choose, such as gravity). The nature can be the same but the way we describe it can vary wildly (more likely beyond human comprehension).

David Graeber's "Debt" goes to some extent about this,

He traces philosophy back to a few factors such as urbanization, imperialism (i.e. Greece, India and China were great empires at that time) and the advent of coinage at the time (which allegedly was a way ro finance armies and finance more imperialism)

Interesting, I don't know this one, would you have a link?

Shower with your dad simulator is not a bad game at all, it's very funny and properly implementes

It still is a "trash" game though (so I thought it was worth mentioning)

  • case insensitive
  • rrecursive
  • only show filenames

I also like to use:

  • I (capital i) to skip binary files, if I'm in a folder with heavy images/videos/etc
  • c 3 to show 3 lines around the matched text

Fun fact: I use "git bash shell" over windows' cmd just because of grep
