How's life when it is unfiltered?
I guess on devRant it's much easier to see the total picture, but I do sometimes wonder what weird bubbles other people might live in, for example in real life. Or at least weird from my perspective.
Like, taking showers in the morning instead of evening. Or eating pork-derived meats on bread. Or setting the thermostat below 20. Or liking the color orange. Or going clothes shopping for fun. Fucking blasphemy! Imagine growing up indoctrinated in a bubble like that. -
@bittersweet ummm I do shower in the morning occasionally and I like pork and .. well I better keep quiet 😛
-
@cursee No no no please go on, I like it when you talk dirty
-
@bittersweet I sometimes shower in the morning when I forgot to shower in the evening lol
-
@bittersweet yes.
Answering the comment you made below my previous one.
Our environment indeed shaped us. I call it mental evolution. Your mind evolve depending on the surrounding circumstances and environment conditions.
Internet and technology may seem as breaking that surrounding and conditions but we are not Neo. We will never be able to know everything-everything. So internet and technology broaden the surrounding and increased the conditions atmost.

@Floydian I think it's kind of beautiful that there are people who like awful things. Mutations, even the bad ones, are useful for evolution.
For example, I think Facebook and LinkedIn have an awful user experience, but without it I wouldn't know what awfulness consists of. I wouldn't know what to avoid when creating products. -
@Stuxnet I disagree. Linux has a lot of things that does it better than windows, but Ive never had the stability of windows on Linux distro LTS versions...

@Stuxnet windows has its uses

> eating pork-derived meats on bread
Dude, have you never heard about Porchetta? Or at least Prosciutto? (ie ham)
They go great with bread and cheese, sometimes I eat that for breakfast.
Also, my room is orange (because I painted it like that). And I sometimes shower in the morning.
So devRant shows me a frontpage feed based on my ++/--/follows/etc.
Does this mean there is a niche bubbled hidden corner, some place where some dev is currently looking at his feed thinking: "Wow everyone agrees with me, Windows is much better than Linux, VBscript is amazing, and Git is for tryhards who hate on dropbox for no good reason"
By now, that bubble and mine have drifted so far apart that they will never meet again, and if you see this specific rant, you will not ever see that content again either.
For all you know, the majority of devs love changing requirements and clients who call them in the middle of the night, the consensus is that testing is for noobs, and everyone loves jquery.
You will never know, because you clicked ++ on the wrong rant, right when you signed up, and forever sealed your fate.
