  • I was shoved into Linux by a nearly dead HPC expert who was definitely angry about the advent of electricity.

    Wasn’t given any indication of a text editor, I ran across vim for one reason or another and enjoyed his Palpatine-like reaction from seeing me using vim enough to keep using it. And if you’re enjoying something, why not

    But yeah, it has some drawbacks lol

    The meaning of those words is absolutely some law, whether natural or governmental, and depends entirely upon the context of the power structure involved.

    If you got slapped in your goofy ass face every time you said, well let me just pull up a real, actual quote from you:

    "Women do not want to help men but they expect help from them.

    That doesn’t make me miserable that’s just accepting the world the way it is and it’s a life lesson men tend to learn the hard way."

    If they slapped your extremely goofy, unserious face and called you a generalizing, pathetic, and small person, that wouldn’t be them hating free speech.

    Hell, they’d be exercising it! How wonderful!

    Now, if the government came to your door and impounded your 4 wheel drive incompetence with relationships, then you might have a victorious day in court.

    Frustrating to say the least. I feel my PhD accelerated learning in all directions. Not from the program content itself, but the skills involved in the ingestion of high volumes of dense information. This idea that the borders of my world don’t extend past some yadda yadda about some tiny subclass of a field is some silly goosery.

    Can those “skills involved” be learned elsewhere? Sure, this is just the path I took. Can phDoctors be single minded or general idiots? Sure, I’m an idiot. Do we need some single minded people? Sure, amazing things can be accomplished by singular focus.

    But it isn’t a mandatory condition or experience of a floppy hat assed (sword in some countries) recipient of this degree.
