I find it hard to ignore the text as my eyes always seem to want to gravitate towards it, so prefer to turn it off so I'm more focused on the scene itself. So yeah, I usually turn em off.

Idk man I've seen mathematicians at my university shudder at applied math and they were kind of half joking and half not. Not all of the faculty were like that though, some of them had a wide range of interests! My favourite was a wonderful Polish professor named Edward who knew tons of things about not just math but also computer science, physics, and chemistry.
I worded things exactly as I meant them. They haven't been given a decision that doesn't involve a probably violent uprising, so they would have to make their own opportunity but authoritarians tend not to like that thus the deading oneself part of my comment. I think we agree ultimately.
As far as Palestinian's support for Hamas goes, I find that the whole story is honestly kind of nuanced the more I read. https://theconversation.com/hamas-was-unpopular-in-gaza-before-it-attacked-israel-surveys-showed-gazans-cared-more-about-fighting-poverty-than-armed-resistance-215640
But, they choose monsters to represent them
Afaik, like over half the population of Palestine wasn't even alive or were children when that decision was made and nobody has been given a decision since, at least not the kind of decision that doesn't involve becoming a martyr and deading yourself in exchange for deading another person.
"Return to work". Motherfuckers, they were already employed. 🙄 I bet CNBC is one of the companies that had a controversial RTO policy. I utterly resent these attempts at trying to normalize deceptive language for return to office schemes subconsciously, like people that don't want to return to office aren't working somehow and it's somehow their fault it's a problem, and not the fault of an inflexible employer.
Even knowing this, I'm still both in awe and jealous of talented people. Some people I know who can practice so much that they become exceptional at something seem to be immune to burnout on their passions for long periods of time, or seem to have a brain chemistry that remains resilient in the face of it, and that ain't me. I've suspected I have ADHD but it's hard to get a diagnosis and my doctor said he's hesitant to diagnose his patients even though he thinks it's possible (and I'm in Canada where I'm lucky to even have an assigned family doctor so I can't really get a good second opinion on that). Programming just happens to be one of the few things that I get burned out on the least compared to everything else and even then it's hard to sustain interest in it for long periods.

Parliamentary systems don't imply proportional representation necessarily. Commonwealth nations like Canada and the UK use the Westminster system, and use a first past the post system derived from that tradition for example. It simply depends on the country and who decided on the details of the electoral system.
I kind of don't want Linux to become mainstream tbh because then corporate enshittification becomes a much more real threat.
It's a feature of a lot of parliamentary systems in general. It's honestly nice to have the shake up when things are at a standstill in parliament, even if the sometimes constant elections are annoying at times. It also helps to have more than just two viable political parties, also.
