In Indonesian, there's an idiom "guru kencing berdiri, murid kencing berlari" which literally translates to teacher pee standing, students pee running. Meaning that students/followers learn not only good examples but the bad as well, and will one day be better at it than their predecessors.

Not a Canadian - I keep seeing people ridiculing the Conservative party here on Lemmy, but I saw on wikipedia that they are currently leading the polls?
Trudeau is not popular as well, if I'm not mistaken. I know an older Canadian who hates Trudeau with passion and praises Poilievre...
Is this similar to Trump's populism strat? What is it that the conservatives are promising to be that popular?
Edit: thanks all for the explanation, I wish the best for you guys
Hey dude, similar experience here.
I grew up a minority, and went to study abroad where my ethnicity is the majority, then stayed for work. People would assume I'm local by my appearance, and as long as I don't have to speak, I'm blending in. I visit home quite often, once in one or two years, but every time, the feeling of being an outsider grows. I haven't been contacting most of my friends for a while, and my personal values have changed. As you said, parents are ageing, streets are different, and the empty lots I used to play in have been built.
Even though I said I feel more welcome in my current residence, being a foreigner means some landlords don't let me rent their apartment, and some banking services aren't open for me. Can't buy properties either.
I feel like an outsider anywhere I go, and I come from a country with stupidly weak passport. Can't have multiple nationalities either.
But I'll visit home often, and spend more time with my family. Time flies and things change too quickly, it'll be good to celebrate what little we have.
There are literally 72 senators who voted against calling it a genocide dude... But everything is the president's fault, eh?
That's a grip expectation but you nailed the phrasing 😂
This is for real the Linux desktop year for me, went through the switch just before the new year. Had to reinstall a couple times but no big deal, and I get to learn as well.
Not sure if out-of-the-box distros are now that user friendly yet or not, but I remember getting Ubuntu running several years ago was frustrating (no sound, bad sound quality etc) and now running EOS was pretty smooth. Pretty sure something like Mint will be user friendly enough for the general population.
I have been running half marathons in 2023, and though there's no speed improvement, the last race I didn't feel much pain and the recovery was much shorter. This is notable for me because I injured my ACL 10 years ago, and now my knee is better than ever since then.
I'll have to train more though, sub 2 hrs half marathon is still so far away 😅
It's actually pretty good! I made it several times when I was a kid. It will curdle a little bit though...
So the article from valve is to support those who use NTFS anyway, but if I'm formatting the lib drive as BTRFS, it should be buttery smooth? (Probably not that smooth but gotta make the pun)
Thanks for the recommendation, will definitely look into this!
It's like that in most of East Asia (and Southeast as well). I don't know what will turn that around, Thailand's cannabis legalization was the only hope but that is also at risk of being taken back.
I see, you're probably right...I remember trying mounting ext4 drive on Windows and couldn't get it to work. I'll probably experiment a little with NTFS, maybe the devs have worked it out? But I'll keep your warning in mind. Thanks for the input!
I thought we have phased out hexavalent chromium from almost 20 years ago?? Am I missing something...
