Not surprising. Most of the information I’ve found on the forum is either obvious (to me), flat out wrong or else just a “yep we don’t support that”.

I realize the title is clickbait. Still, my immediate reaction is, “Yes, because that worked out so well for Haiti.”

It works for the Gurkhas, who fought in both World Wars. They still “sacrifice” goats for Dashain.

Yes, I’m not disparaging the practice (though I personally think those who do it are deceived). I’m simply making the point that it’s not a real factor in societal change (which is along the lines of the point the article was trying to make).

Is there not also temple in Guwahati, Assam that specializes in goat sacrifice or one in Kathmandu Pashupatinath?

And even for those where it isn’t one exact person/box there is a 2 digit delivery point code that often is included on the end.

I wasn’t patient enough to go past that first one.

re: #1 I have a skill that essentially manages a daily board in json format and pulls in active or potential tasks from all my work streams (email, slack, grafana, ado, or even manual input). I have this management plane keep a journal for each day and then spin off sub-sessions to work individual items. I pretty much just run the thing on a loop, and since context is stored with the board itself there’s no issue closing down and restarting the session or clearing context occasionally.

It sounds like your problem lies more in his mistake, not in coming clean about it. Him being the one to do that takes any influence the woman had over him away.

Yeah I’m not so annoyed by this as I am by the keyboard hit-box resizing or the fact that it takes perfectly correctly typed words and auto-corrects them to some other word for me frequently. I don’t mind a bit of vulgarity, and I don’t mind it having the be very intentional, either.

There are plenty of other reasons. Humanitarianism is a big one, but there are others.

Can't say that when you got concentration camps and gestapo running the streets.

If you think labor exploitation on that scale is comparable to even extreme immigration enforcement policies, then we can’t have a rational discussion. And I can have whatever position I want despite how you feel about those policies.

It obviously wrote the article so why not.

My experience has been more talking past each other and being downvoted. Which is why I rarely engage anymore.
