Are people in the stock photos real?
  • I was chatting with a stock photographer a while back. Apparently the most important thing is the tags that you give the photos. The best ones are abstract because you aren't competing with "hand" and "pen". If you can make your photo of a hand holding a pen fit "wistful" or "trenchant" then you have a better chance of it being seen. Making thousands of weird photos like a hammer/screwdriver/wand being held over a watermelon/plastic duck/brick by a clown/policeman/nurse and giving them abstract tags is the way to go.

  • There's no real point to any of this, is there?
  • A few points. What you have regarding the computers is "imposter syndrome", which basically means you are almost certainly better at it than you think you are. If you can get the job done then you are good at it, and it doesn't matter if you think other people are better at it than you.

    The best thing you can do for your family is be there for them and love them. Having a loving and happy parent or spouse is infinitely more valuable than having a wealthy one. Don't underestimate your value to them in non monetary terms.

    They might not realise that what they think is good natured joking is hurtful to you, so maybe try to get them to realise that your hobby is important to you and your mental health.

    Basically don't underestimate yourself and the positive impact you have on other people, and also take care of yourself so you can take care of them.

  • Every time I want to do something, I have a look around the baffling ecosystem of frameworks and end up writing it from scratch because it's easier than wading through the bullshit.

  • How difficult is it to drive on the wrong side of the road?
  • It totally depends on the person. I'm from the left-driving UK, and have friends who hate every second of driving in the rest of Europe. Personally, I find it takes about 10 minutes to acclimatise and then it seems normal and I'm fine.

  • Their beliefs are firmly rooted in bullshit and you can't use logic to argue with them, so this changes nothing.

  • This doesn't really explain anything. Not least why I should use it.

  • When I urinate, why is it sometimes frothy and but usually not?

    It doesn't seem to have any correlation with the concentration of the urine, as even really dark stuff is usually froth-free.
