What keyboard layout do you use?
  • I tried dvorak in 2008 and was using it for about 6 months. The thing that really tripped me was the keyboard shortcuts. I was just too used to the QWERTY setup. Did you have to overcome this, and if so, how?

  • Teaching Jordan Peterson That Climate Change Is Real: Part One – SOME MORE NEWS
  • Cody basically says it's just a video on climate change (which people are reluctant to watch) but to grab their attention, it's ACTUALLY a video TO Jordan - an idiot's idea of a smart person - about climate change.

    I really like how he explains stuff. Looking forward to part 2.

  • Will 2025 be better or worse than 2024?
  • If you don't already know a close crew of friends, I would suggest starting an Empty Nesters In Training group.

    Get together once or twice a month or so, makes the transition easier for when your kid graduates HS for college.

    And also good luck with the job!

  • Loss of oxygen in bodies of water identified as new tipping point
  • It will be all of these and more, and it will continue to work to kill us slowly. Not a single event, but thousands over years, it has already begun and we're only accelerating it.

    Some of us will survive to see the later parts of this century, but it will be a different world than pre-2000.

    Heat has already been a killer.

    Floods and hurricanes have already wreaked havok.

    Water scarcity has caused deaths.

    Ecosystems ravaged by humans are past their first stages of collapse.

    And it's all getting worse.

    We can try our best, but it won't be enough.

    I just hope to care for those around me and try to spread good.

    To help a starfish.

  • Food aid is piling up inside Gaza. Here's why it's not reaching those in need
  • I feel two ways about click bait and am open to having my mind changed.

    1. Frustrating the info isn't readily available because news should be free for the people, easy to access, and factual.
    2. Good journalism should be supported and takes effort, time, and money.
  • The climate case for mock meats is clear. But who can afford them?
  • Yep, and cooking is easier and safer (I don't need to worry about cross contamination)

    Being vegan is way cheaper and that's not even accounting for the massive subsidies the meat and dairy industries get, from our taxes.

  • Analysis | Millennials aren’t having kids. Here are the reasons why.
  • Another millennial adding on:

    1. Bringing a sentient life into a world of suffering and climate change that will only worsen seems malicious to that life, at this point.
    2. My partner really doesn't want to go through the body changes that come with pregnancy.

    Additional emphasis on #3, even if it didn't compromise safety, a healthy pregnancy is expensive! Healthcare from any complications is financially devastating.

    Small aside that adoption is not off the table for us, but we're not financially comfortable to get a dog yet, which we've been saving for for a few years. One of us would need to get a huge raise to be able to afford the costs of adoption and raising of a human child.

    Mike Johnson elected new House Speaker.

    Republicans have at long last elected a House speaker: Representative Mike Johnson, a fundamentalist Christian who was alsoem once called a key “architect” in Congress’s efforts to overthrow the 2020 election.
