I’m burnt out and can’t focus at work. Really wish I had more that 2 weeks of vacation time a year

ChatGPT is my programming rubber ducky for general stuff

I mean, they could also just match two accounts by ip in the db as well im pretty sure. That would be a pretty simple sql query

Exactly, and I think that there’s even more downsides as well to strictly comment level disagreement. There’s never any point engaging with bigoted posts. Replies just draw more attention and make you more angry. Better to just downvote, report, and move on without spending too much emotional energy trying to bicker and squabble for a while thread.

There’s just an emotional inequity when it comes to a debate between, for example, a transphobe and a trans person. A transphobe likely knows everything they say can be bullshit - they don’t have to stick to reason. The whole point is just a rhetorical exercise where the cruelty and sadism is the point.

The trans person tho has to stick to researching the dsm v or guidances from credible medical institutions and respond with effort posts and Yada Yada. Everyone’s eyes glaze over and the end result is the trans person is exhausted and feels worse about their life.

Downvote and move on is just a means of reduction of digital self harm. I find it bad to not have it for cases like that, especially on communities where mods aren’t as caring about bigotry. To leave it unchallenged just shows that some people agree with it, and shows nothing to effect of how many people find it repulsive.

Lol my cat runs and hides at the sound of lawn mowers in an almost ptsd like furor.

She’d never make it outside

If it’s a rescue, it’s much more humane than just killing it or letting it run free tho. My indoor cat that I found as a struggling stray on the street is plenty happy and has no wantingness to go outdoors.

I still can’t believe that was just completely forgotten about by almost everyone

If only they could start having more than fucking diet coke at restaurants when it comes to pop

I mean, look at EEE like Microsoft did in the 90s.

Personally, I’m also scared about Linux after Linus dies. They are on a lot of the board as well

I’d also worry about people who have corporate shit on there. Anyone who uses this as a tool should probably delete their chats and change their password, even if you don’t have anything proprietary or ground breaking in there just as a precaution

What about the nb verse though?

I imagine the frequency response curve is going to be a trash heap on these things. Mids? Who needs em?

Sure, people of all types can be awful, but there’s definitely trends within an organizations history from which a larger effect can be seen. Religion isn’t needed to be an asshole, but the venn diagram overlap is rather large. If you’re looking at things structurally, religion is often used as a tool of population management and often times goes hand in hand with imperialism. Everything from the Kamloops massacre and genocide to the undertones of homophobia in dancehall music often times comes from religious values imposed by authority figures.

Sure, there are philosophies such as liberation doctrine and the like that seek to make religion as a means to lift people from oppression, but if you take a large look at the effects of organized religion, that is very clearly the exception to the norm. Organized religion is often used as a structural hierarchy to dictate and govern morality, which is why it shares a lot with authoritarians that want to set up strict hierarchies of other means.

Theres ways to practice religion in non-assholish ways, but the religion itself, especially those with more organization in their structure, absolutely to spreads hate and vileness

It’s pride weekend in my city.

So copious amounts of flag waving and alcohol

Most of my friends who use it only every now and then couldnt give two fucks about third party apps and probably didnt know they existed. Most of them have joined in the last two years, so it was when the site became a lot less hard care

Anything regarding pc building is f-u-c-k fucked rn. Trying to gets some finer info on bios settings yesterday was fucked lol

Id say the car-centric city design is a huge factor as well. At least in the US, most large cities had electric trains, and we tore it down for parking lots. Fixing that problem would be incredibly daunting.

Id say a good step would be to have high speed rails that go between major cities, coupled with bringing some of those electric trolleys back. As a Michigander, I think a good line would be Detroit -> stops along I96 -> Grand Rapids -> Benton Harbor -> More stops along 131/I94 -> Chicago.

I believe the judge actually said something to the effect of “they chose to live with him still, and consented to the app”

I’m not a lawyer in the slightest, but wouldn’t stuff like that be grounds for a mistrial?
