I mean, didn’t they do the exact same thing with the planet?

Do you agree just with their opinion, or do you agree with their reasoning as well? If it’s only the former, don’t bother defending them - associating yourself with hot takes is one thing, but never get associated with stupid.

He got shot for denying poor people their shots.

“Pride” is indeed the correct term.

From a certain point of view - isn’t this exactly what happened here?

I often go into a Git worktree of one of my projects and mess around a bit to try something out. If I find it’s not working, I tell git to discard the changes with git checkout . and git clean -df. What I’m saying is exactly “on second thought, don’t do anything" - while what happens in practice is that Git restores all files to their HEAD status and removes all the new files that are not already in HEAD.

Of course, the difference is that I already have all the work I want to keep under source control, so these changes I’ve discarded really were that - just changes. He, on the other hand, “was just playing with the source control option” - so these “changes” he was discarding really were all his work. But Git did not know that.

What’s “heterolingual”? You can only talk to people who speak a different language than the one you use?

Can’t the same be said about Lust?

The question is not “how”. The question is “why”.

For Windows 11, it would be an ad for Hitler instead of just a picture.

Should Greece really be on that list? The only criterion where it’s not grayed out is “Awarded Parts of China to Japan”, which actually means “signed the Treaty of Versailles after WWI”. And unlike many of the other countries that signed it, Greece did not get anything to itself from it.

So if you don’t sell it, and instead rent it out to other people, he’d get a portion of the rent the future tenant pays? And I don’t supposed said future tenant will also get equity?

Have you consulted with a lawyer about this? The laws differ from place to place, but I’d be worried the equity you give him may also grant him some sort of claim on the house, which would mean he gets a say on financial things related to the real estate. This can complicate things in the future.

Also - what does “percentage of revenue if we end up keeping and paying it off years later” mean? That after he leaves you will pay him for his share in your house?

Polyculture farming is good for the land and good for yields, but monoculture is easier for the government to rule over.

XML is good for markup. The problem is that people too often confuse “markup” and “serialization”.

My pet theory is that Apple started to use that term because “App” can also be short for “Apple”.

Or maybe they just don’t want to take the risk? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/apr/29/five-people-killed-in-south-east-texas-shooting-cleveland
