Haha, I guess many dog owners just can’t see it how it is; probably an addiction to the lopsided unconditional “love”. I used to comment something similar back in Reddit, just to see the flood of downvotes and outraged dog owners.
Same reaction to supporting the idea that some breeds are generally more dangerous and/or more aggressive. “Oh, my MY pitbull is a sweetie!!” (adding this here just to test :D )
Yes, and I heard as a response “but he LOVES the cage”. Really? Why does it need a door with a latch then?
Yes, I’m pretty sure they were still dogs. No crippling deformities.
(edit: but if you need to filter “anecdotal” evidence, just add “in the western world, in modern history”?)
Thousands of years ago they were dogs, not fashion accessories.
Dogs were hardwired by selective breeding to worship their owners. Not long ago they at least were loyal companions. You got one off the streets, fed it leftovers, washed it with a hose, it lived in the yard, and it was VERY happy and proud of doing its job. Some breeds now were bred into painful disabling deformities just to look “cute”, and they became hysterical neurotic yapping fashion accessories. Useless high maintenance toys people store in small cages (“oh, but my child loves his cage”) when they don’t need hardwired unconditional lopsided “love” to feed their narcissism.
Spaces are not the end of the world, but very annoying:
On a bash command line, they make it harder to handle a list of files returned by a command as argument to another.
On the command line (lin or win), they require escaping or quoting when used as arguments or script/executable names.
On many programs, if you cut&paste the complete path to the file (for example in a network drive), you can click on the path and it will access the file, but spaces in filenames or directories breaks that (and it’s not bad programming, the program simply can’t guess where the link ends).
When you mention the name of the file in a documentation or message, it may lead to misintepretation, and it’s just fugly:
“You can find more information in the attached document file.pdf”.
What is the name of the file? it can be “the attached document file.pdf”, “attached document file.pdf”, “document file.pdf” or “file.pdf”.
Also when mentioned in a text, the file name may end up split in separated lines or even pages, and will more likely be subject to autocorrect.
When copying the file name in a text, in most environments you can double-click to select the whole name, but it doesn’t work if it has spaces.
Now, if you never ever type or copy/paste a file name, and only ever access files through a graphical interface, then it makes no difference.
But then you start getting to comfy and if anything goes, why not non-ascii chars too? And that opens a different can of troubles.
Even non-developers may hate spaces in filenames, when links to the file you send in a message don’t work because clicking on them uses only up to before the first space.
Well, if the loophole works, it’s not like burning tons and tons of fuel for nothing has any downside or consequences at all, right?

This “justification” works for everything, from parking on the disability park spot to genocide.
Having said that, my first task at a new job in '94 was “you see these three workers counting, stacking and feeding the product into the packing machine? You’ll design a stacker to replace them”. “ah, three workers three shifts, so you’re saying my first task is to make 9 people jobless?”. “yup, but we’ll replicate it to other lines, so…”.
Someone would do it anyway.
Android, because between this one, Linux, and Windows:
it’s the one I need to care less about the OS. The OS (or how does swirling transition animations look better in your beloved distro GUI) should be just an invisible, unobtrusive tool to run your apps, not something that matters or requires babysitting nor tinkering.
it’s the one running the apps I use the most, FOR ME, as opposed of for work
Two way roads.
If they didn’t exist today and someone came up with the brilliant idea of having people in control of machines (cars or bikes) moving in opposite directions at 50mph, separated by a few feet and a painted line, it would be dismissed immediately.
We are very different people in a lot of aspects, but have similar views in some other aspects.
Coconut water fresh from a refrigerated coconut. I would only drink that, even if I didn’t have to, if it was cheap enough.
The collective imbecility steadily creeps backwards in terms of being able to accept that other people can have different opinions.
Funny rollercoaster reading this.
As a Brazilian, first I was sort of proud and intrigued; “wow, they were really desperate to get here”. (why?)
…Then I read they actually thought they were going to Europe. (haha, c’mon, check the ship’s route before you do that)
…And that two of them asked to be sent back to Nigeria after finding out they were in Brazil. (now I’m sort of offended)
Just checked in a Brazilian Portuguese real made from trees dictionary, indeed comes from arabic (indicated by the “ár fulân”)
Wow! It most certainly came from that!
TIL, thanks! (brazilian here).
He’s going to be able to harass everyone that had blocked him.
