Ah yes, okay I see what you’re saying. I think I’m very fortunate to have a couple of friends who care about media the way that I do, and we know each other’s tastes and take recommendations seriously. I have a lot of other friends that are absolutely not like that, so I guess it’s an individual sorta thing ya know.

Yeah I just don’t take it personally. I get what it’s like, people have their tastes and aren’t necessarily quick to try something on a recommendation. Honestly I don’t think it’s something you can really expect of people, and certainly it shouldn’t be so transactional.

Quite some years ago I offhandedly recommended a band to a friend, and like a week later she texted me thanking me for the recommendation, and gave me her thoughts. I thought that was really cool of her, because it’s all too common that recommendations are ignored. I decided then that I would do my best to actually follow up on recommendations from friends and then try to let them know what I thought. It’s a practice that’s generally very well received.

I also then decided to be more honest about whether or not I actually will check something out. For example, I don’t really listen to podcasts so I’m pretty upfront with people that it’s not likely I’ll listen to whatever they recommend. I think it’s had a ripple effect of generally being more honest in my relationships, which has been transformative. I highly recommend it.

Not using Debian because gnome seems silly to me. Why not just install plasma if that’s what you want?

Just FYI, it’s spelled trough, and pronounced like cough.

What do you imagine these “strict regulations” would be? I live in public housing right now and it’s fantastic. It’s also significantly more democratically run than private housing because it’s mandated to be that way. I also like knowing that nobody is profiting off of my need to live somewhere.

My point is that you’re being dismissive of very reasonable concerns that are supported by published scientific literature. Further, rather than address those concerns directly, you chose to deflect with condescension and belittlement.

So no, I’m not going to trust you, because the only thing that you’ve done to prove your point is be an ass.

It’s funny, because your own ignorance is showing. There’s plenty of research to suggest that iron fertilization is controversial, which directly contradicts your (very condescending) assertion.

You are being very pretentious.

I don’t see the problem

I remember looking this up some time ago, and I read that doing so may violate the terms you agreed to when purchasing the ticket. They will probably fine you, or at least attempt to, if you don’t pull it off.

Well you did write tong before and not tongs which is what was being asked. It should still be plural, even without the “pair of” bit.
