The hair follicle may be the root cause of the scab in the first place. Acne, as a result of an infected follicle, may appear to heal with a scab but the infected material may still be in-situ.

As you know, the hair itself is dead past the growing root.

So plucking the dead hair will do nothing, unless you are lucky enough to take all the infected material with it.

Quite a few people have come to their senses. It’s taken thirty years but … hey … Rome not built in a day.

That’s really well put.

I’d add, if I may, a small piece of wisdom from Muhammad Ali: “A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.”

I take that as advice to have a willingness to re-evaluate one’s views on a daily basis.

I’m curious. What is your definition of evil?

Voting this century.

What things are and what the masses choose to call them, and use them for, are usually two different things.

Asking the masses to understand a complex subject for themselves, and ascribe to it appropriate nomenclature, when all they actually want is something that echoes what they already think with more eloquence is folly.

Reference: social media - a method to collect personal data from the masses to use against them, which they willingly and greedily supply, without recompense.

Because they don’t need to. As Zuckerberg himself said: people will voluntarily give all kinds of private information to corporates without being asked or by the gentlest of requests.

I’m not sure that you meant born because everyone is taking it too literally and it doesn’t help make a decent question.

Document everything I can think of for future people and put it in a place that someone will find out but is not that open to be degradation.

I know how impossible this sounds.

Please god a few internal features leak into the open source.

Great going. Excellent.

Please can you explain how to install it in LibreOffice. I’m not sure that I can as I saw https://github.com/Automattic/harper/issues/1427

I’m in London. What is this cop that you speak of?

To be honest, learn who you are before going on an app or trying to engage for a partner.

You’ve been together (in perception, at least) a long time and you’re still that married person and it will take time to remember who you are without that other person, regardless of whether you were a functioning couple or two people in the same house.

The loneliness is just the transition sinking in.

I’m a couple years older than you.

It was actually a (too oblique) reference to his: I wouldn’t join a club that would have me as a member quotation. It was too oblique; my bad.

Logseq to Obsidian.

Logseq’s markdown is weird and not standard. Everything is indented and in a list, even headings. I love me some open source, but this is a hard no.

Open your logseq files in a plain text editor and compare with the standard. I spend much of my time editing them back to Markdown.

Syncing logseq is easy on Syncthing. The only issue being that one has to watch out for conflicts by not editing one on one instance before the other sends it/it is received, but that’s a sync issue not Logseq.

Incineration is the best way.

Groucho Marx couldn’t have said it better. Oh … wait.

HMP … well most of them tbh.

You can check out but you can never leave

Also: find the most critically injured person and ask them if they are alright.

So that’s what rimming is all about; they have anxiety. TIL.

They humour our statements that we want to work for their company for altruistic reason but suggest that they give us some cash anyway.

We humour their protestations that the job spec in any way resembles the actually work we are expected to traverse.

It’s an ongoing dialogue of falsehood in the understanding that no-one will break the spell.
