Microsoft expects me to pay for Office 365? No, fuck you, I’ve got LibreOffice and your older Office software still works as good. Your word processing program, Word, hasn’t really changed that much since 2007 or even 2003. Hell, maybe not since 1997!

So I moved to foss probably about 20 years ago and have been going back and forth between libre office and open office.

A couple of years ago my wife wanted me office, so I got the subscription...and man it's so much better than either of those two, and to suggest that maybe it hasn't changed since 1997 is mindboggling.

I'm a big proponent of not signing up for these services, but this paragraph really misses the mark for me.

Yeah it's not for everyone, but I just have an event on my calendar for every six months, and I just rebalance when it goes off. Only takes a short while, especially if you are using some tool that will tell you what your weights are.

If you're really hands off these are a good choice. But if you are willing to rebalance a couple of times a year, it's unnecessary to pay the extra fees associated with these funds.

Yeah it's a lot of fun. I had a few adults that were there the whole time, but then a bunch of other neighbors/friends wandered in and out throughout the night. Probably had a total of about 10 different people hanging out.

Normally I wear a costume, but mine fell apart this year.

At my house we get north of 200 kids every year it's decent outside. Sometimes over 250. We're talking about a kid every minute for the 3.5 hours we do it.

I just set up a table outside, invite a few friends over, drink some beers and give kids candy as they show up. Fuck having to answer the door every minute for 3.5 hours.

My older neighbors complained that the kids don't have to come up to the front door and are skipping their house because I sit outside. I felt a little guilty, but honestly sitting outside (it it's cold I get a fire pit going, not tonight tho) is much nicer. One older couple followed my lead this year and agreed. So I'm over it now. Welcome to the new world.

“we don’t see the world as it is; we see the world as we are.”

How do you even get that from the comment I was responding to?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

This is not what the article is about at all. I'm not even sure how you would get that from reading the headline alone.

Lol this is the same argument I've heard from climate change denialists for years: we can't possibly change the climate!

Now doomers are saying the same thing, but even more ridiculously because they almost certainly believe we have changed the climate already.

They're are decent people in this world who want things to be better. Sometimes they even have money.

Also, because we can only really see the world as ourselves, we tend to think everyone else thinks like us. So it's very telling when people think everyone else is evil.
