    the stance of a lot of people

    This is my stance on Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Racism, Scientism, realism, pragmatism, capitalism, communism, fascism, left-ism, right-ism, up-ism, down-ism, and whatever other way to group people you can come up with.

    And history will prove me right, as it has before.

    Here you see just one of those -isms. And there will be similar examples everywhere.
    People who got fooled. People who were just better than others. People who fooled others into adding them to their group, just to then overthrow everything the group stood for, just to use it for totally different things.

    Religion is an insult to human dignity. Without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

    ― Steven Weinberg

    I will go ahead and extend this to anything and everything that gives a person the sense of belonging.
    That can delay/reduce a persons critical thinking capabilities just enough to destroy everything they stood for.
    They they either realise that and suffer, or they never realise and the world suffers.

    Now I feel like I need to read up on all terms in the sidebar before continuing further.

    Either way, I’d most probably still stand on my point of not defining a person by the community they relate to and not defining a community by some people that you interact with from said community.
    *-ism and *-ist haven’t been doing much good for a long time now.








  • and I’m not going out of my way to teach the users any more than they absolutely need

    Interestingly, I did go out of my way to explain to others how made my code and what though processes went into some of the design decisions I made. I even wrote it all down into 3+ .md files and served them on the local network for everyone to read.

    Guess what?
    I’m still called when big changes need to be made, or when some behaviour needs to be explained.
    And I get paid by the hour, instead of having to do 45hr/week in the office.






  • Simple:

    1. Drink water
    2. I Clear the snot in the wash basin every 30 minutes
    3. I Don’t drink the snot that comes in backwards from your my nose, no matter how lazy you are I am feeling
      • spit it out in the wash basin
      • this way you I don’t get cough
    4. I don’t take paracetamol or symptomatic relief medicine, instead keep 2-3 handkerchiefs to keep it clean
    5. Sinuses blocked and blowing nose is not enough, there is a medicine for it. But if you can, try some mace and nutmeg powder instead.
    6. Fever? Yes. I Sleep with it.
      • Feeling weak, I take some ORS (the one with sugar in it)

    And the most important part, don’t go around coughing/snorting it at other people.

    Sinuses blocked

    There’s 2 types of medicines for this.
    1 will dry up your nose, essentially stopping the exit of pathogens via that vector. The other will convert blocked-nose to running nose.
    The 2nd one is desirable, if you want it to actually get fixed. Of course, you will need to clean your nose more often, as a result.
