Or possibly they're merely highlighting that seeking a second viewpoint may add some new information that better helps you evaluate the story you're hearing from a single source.
This does not prevent you seeking additional inputs, and indeed where the first two resources differ that is itself a signal that supplementary information may be of value.
unless you know EVERYTHING about the entire universe you would be wiser to respect others for their own beliefs and not mock them.
I'm perfectly comfortable mocking adults that still let their invisible imaginary friend dictate their lives.
Hear voices in your head? Treated medically or (elsewhere in the world) killed. So why the fuck do you think you should get a free ride when you cant even hear the voices?
Instead of recognizing that fact and either developing or compensating for it, you instead choose to get angry.
I get angry because people seem to think that I'm the one with the fucking issue here, purely because they've adapted to cope with the stupidity.
I'm the one that gets yelled at or ostracised for failing to pick up these social cues, or for withdrawing entirely from specific social activities as a means of compensating and developing strategies to deal with it.
I get told off for not being aggressive enough in meetings. I speak up, I get told off for not listening. I listen, I get told off for not being assertive enough. I state my case assertively, I get told off for being arrogant. I build concensus, I get told off for not being aggressive enough.
That's just the last three years.
The irony is that I am now fucking awesome at managing and contributing in meetings because I've had to learn so much theory, maintain self awareness while putting it in practice and constantly evaluate and modify my own behaviour and performance.
That's hard fucking work and I still keep getting told I have to change. And you wonder why I get angry? Fuck that.
Or build massive solar farms in the Sahara. Sure, you have energy supply security concerns to factor in but the western and southern Sahara regions are reasonable stable and the local governments would welcome the income.
Of course you could also just build massive nuclear plants in the Sahara too.
whatever one-time payment got them into the studio; well, really, really, sucks to be an artist in that genre.
Not really. That's how most of us work. Get paid for the time spent in the studio/office/shop/warehouse, get fuck all afterwards.
The anomaly is the current fucked up copyright situation where people keep getting paid for something they did 70 years before they fucking died. How the fuck that benefits society hasn't been explained.
Hmm. Skip the marriage entirely, just sponsor a student every year. $1k/month renting her an apartment, $1k/month on gifts and entertainment, access whenever you want and no baggage.
Shit, even I could afford to do that if I wanted, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than handing half your cash to a woman you hate.
most slashdotters don't even know anyone who isn't rich
I don't know anybody that is rich.
I have a higher disposable income than most of my friends, and I can't afford a Tesla, a house with a pool, a summer home, a property portfolio for future income.
I dance with people that car share to dance events because they can't afford the fuel themselves. My cleaner wont skip a week because the 90 minutes a week of earnings she gets from me are important to her family. I work with people that earn barely more than the minimum wage and buy coffee at work from people that do earn the minimum wage.
Maybe you live in an isolated little bubble but most of us are part of the real world. $250k/year feels pretty rich to me but I have no kids, don't pay $2000/week on a mortgage, didn't get married and divorced three times and don't feel the need to eat a pound of fillet steak every evening.
Well, scratch the last one. I'd rather enjoy that. It's just not within my budget.
DK1 was rather lower spec hardware and may have been subsidised to assure affordability to content creators that could properly test its capabilities as well as start building compelling content.
Although yeah, the release version was rather expensive.
Wait, you're suggesting I should give all my creative content to a commercial organisation renowned for exploiting their held data and sharing lots of it with their partners and random people on the internet? Before I even start selling it?
How about you and Google both go fuck yourselves and if my content triggers swatting then it's not me that has the issue.
Statistically I've heard that intelligent women are less frequent than intelligent men. It balances though; a rather lower proportion of women are thick as shit.
Which backward fucking shithole do you live in that your only options are debit cards and credit cards? And who the fuck is Cedric?
Who needs discipline to clear their credit card balance every month? Simple fucking electronic payment, automatically every month.
Same for my other bills. No debit card needed. Fuck me, do try and enter the 21st fucking century.
As for credit reporting agencies, I'm not sure which countries have just three. Certainly not the UK, the US, Brazil, India. But we're back to guessing which shithole you live in.

The purpose of the military, is to break things and kill people.
Go read your Clauswitz, you ignorant fool.

Shit, now you've done it. This could be the biggest internal US Navy sweepstake in history.
Well, whether I succeed or not, I'm pretty sure I can have a lot of fun trying.
Lend me a 20mm cannon and a fully equipped boat to move it around would you?
You appear to be under the misapprehension that US military forces don't intentionally target civilians.
Some cunt willing to hellfire a wedding sure as shit isn't going to hesitate with a far less traceable laser.
You think my brain on porn is bad, you should see it on a 16 year old girl.
I know, anybody would think we had a land border with another country that has in the past century been hostile to us.
Oh, wait.

Sure. We create all that steel, aluminium and thermo-plastic carbon fibre without using petrochemicals.
Right.

Well, there's also Central America, and Latin America. Or the Americas if you want to nuke the whole bunch.
Last I heard Bill Gates' house was about the same size.

Oh. I read that game title and thought, "Ok, that could be a fun game"
But my girlfriend at the time nearly wet herself laughing at me playing Wii boxing. Decent exercise too.
Why would I want to wave my arms around and walk about just to control a computer?
Do you use a bicycle powered dynamo to generate electricity for your TV too? The rest of us don't.
Perhaps that's the reason to buy those cards rather than cheaper ones with a better price/performance ratio.

You don't have to use that OS for anything else you know.

Lots of women are violent, how do you propose we weed those out of the gene pool?
Once all the violent men and women are gone, how will the human race survive the next existential threat?
