I kinda realised that the less specialised you are, the more you really know. If you don't branch out here and there, you won't develop necessary skills that will help you in your own specialised area. For example, Albert Einstein is well known as a theoretical physicist, a highly specialised occupation. But were it not for his hobby of playing the violin and willing to work outside his main field and interest, he would not have been able to come up with solutions to some of the pressing problems in physics. He did say that imagination is more important than knowledge, and his track record speak for himself and his mindset.

Moreover, I think there is some harm not developing other skills. I find that some people in positions of power being ineffective, because they may only know their technical skills, but did not bother to learn people or time management skills. Going further beyond, a lot of people have ill-informed takes in politics or life in general, because they do not bother learning more facets.

While my parents aren't bad, they're just products of their environment that doesn't teach or encourage critical thinking and being honest to one's self. They are also bad with communication. They don't have an iota of self-reflection or even if they do, they do not even attempt to change. But even if they change, it's too late. My parents said and taught me a lot of things when I was growing up, which in hindsight doesn't make sense and negatively affected my formative years.

My parents said they'll be happy to take care of any of my future children; but I gave a disgusted no face and I reckon my parents did not even get the hint.

"Only your side can be evil and not mine!"

"Read theory and you would know what I'm talking about."

That is a common thought terminating response to any critique of communism. That being said, I learned to flip the table. Tankies talk about theory, so mention empirical and practical results. They tend to either shut down or ban you.

Ffs I hate PragerU. The website "All Sides Balanced" quotes them as if they are a reliable and genuine university that does research, when in fact it's a right wing propaganda machine that spews the already derided laissez faire economics and climate change denialism.

He's still the pope, of course he'd say this. However, the majority of Indonesians are Muslims. As if the opinion of a Catholic leader would matter much.

I imagine it would be for older games though?

I was a huge fan of Ubisoft. I basically stopped playing any of their games after Assassins Creed 3, with the exception of AC: Black Flag, which I got from the high seas, ironically.

Maybe I am missing something with this but anarchists are hated both by communists and liberals. If they see the anarchists, they'd also gang up on the latter lol.

In fairness, it isn't like banning one social media website (and a purveyor of misinformation and disinformation at that) will have either national security concern or threatening fundamental freedoms in Brazil. It could be why Brazil had been so bold.

I grew up with religious parents. Looking back, they restricted me from doing things, even innocuous, without explicitly stating we to why. But I know that it's because they are afraid I "might get ideas". Fortunately, I have been to good schools and got taught about basic sex education. Ironically, my parents sending me to good school taught me better than being "taught" by my parents who don't want me to "get bad ideas".
