Programming is Concrete Math and becomes more and more Math the less abstraction you expose yourself to.

Both are fields you have to engage in problem solving, the better you are in one, the better you are in the other.

Don't confuse Math with pure arithmetic operations though, its just the base concept which provides the fundament you're building upon as you dig deeper.

I for example was quite bad at Math up until I got interested in IT, because then I had a reason for learning and be excited about it, but I guess thats a heavily subjective thing.

Engaging with interpreted languages and solving problems on certain sites with those also helped in further developing my problem-solving skills, which made Math easier for me.

For quickly testing something: fuck screws.

For long-term use: both a tight as I can so I barely can unscrew them later because why not.

That it doesn't matter what other people think of me as long as I'm happy.

Choosing the urinal next to another man.

Really feels kinda gay, though, especially when the dude next to you squints over.

Guns. Paying for being medically treated / not having a proper healtcare system. Weird relationship to Socialism.

People considered woke often only focus on institutional racism and make every other form of racism seem unimportant, including those targeting so called "whites" / Europeans. (And I'm not trying to victimize perpetrators here, I'm aware of the current and historical situation in Western countries.)

I see that institutional racism is a huge problem, especially in the West, but that doesn't make any other form less important or significant.

For comparison: just because in sub-saharan Africa people starve on a daily basis due to extreme poverty caused by Imperialism doesn't mean that poverty inside industrial nations with less harsh effects is less of a problem, especially to the individual.

I use OpenBSD as my daily driver on the desktop.

In my opinion Linux over the years got too caught up in politics and involved with big corporations having influence on certain non-trivial decisions.

But I also think the BSDs are better actual Operating Systems in contrast to Linux being only the kernel of which different projects make use of to provide their final products to the end user, its way more fractured.

Yesterday I was waiting for the Tram.

As I stood there, I turned my head to the right and witnessed how a pigeon was hit by a car.

Kinda traumatizing, especially when the cars that followed ran over and over the carcass.
