Stop asking and just ban it already

That’s a waffleturd take if I’ve ever seen one

Sure, why not. If OP really doesn’t want to small talk they can say that.

OP doesn’t mention they hate smalltalk. I just gave a suggestion of words that I thought would fit, but I also don’t know OP

Ok, now be quiet please.

How can you steal an advice that’s given to you?

What?? Imagine telling anyone to “be quiet now”. That’s plainly rude and won’t help

It’s important to be honest and polite. “I really need to focus on my work and be silent for a few hours a day. I’d be happy to chat on a coffee break, but I need to have some quiet time please”

For what reason? Why is Epic so bad? I’m not fishing for a reaction. I genuinely don’t know why most people here hate Epic

Yes, both sides are bad. And yes, one is vastly more powerful than the other.

I absolutely agree that the more pressing matter is stopping the Israeli advance in Gaza. But I hate this argument because it brushes off impact of the October 7th attacks by Hamas.

It cannot be denied that Gaza is a terrible neighbor, same as Israel. No one is in the right here. Everyone is terrible. Yes, stopping the Israeli attack is the most important action now. But Gaza’s actions need to be recognized. Ignoring such things will only create more division and undermine a diplomatic solution.

If you were born in Israel you would hate Gaza. If you were born in Gaza you would hate Israel. What is the solution? In the short term is stop the attacks. But in the long term the solution is empathy, compassion, diplomacy and compromise.

You can’t expect the average person to be tech savvy enough to use Linux and most people cannot afford a Mac. Especially in developing countries.

Windows is the best OS for the average person. Just not for advanced users such as researchers
