Well, now that I’ve got the long and short of it, what you’re saying makes sense. Thanks for expanding. I didn’t have that context.

I don’t have any disagreements. I think a decision like whether or not to have children is ultimately up to the individuals making the children. I do think there are many oft overlooked factors that can make having kids unethical, but I’m drawing my line well before suggesting having kids is always evil. That thought heavily implies that humanity itself is unethical and should be ended, and I say it’s not our place to decide that (though we could obviously stand to be so much better than we are now).

I appreciate the food for thought. Cheers.

Are you seriously suggesting that people who don’t want to bring kids into a world where they don’t see a path towards ensuring their well-being…should kill themselves if they’re serious about it?

Thanks for speaking up for the people like us!

My legacy is a bunch of data on a server 🤷🏾‍♂️. My value lies in how good I am at putting it there. A job’s a job. If they like it and aren’t hurting anyone, I’m not judging.

Wasn’t on a whim. And you totally can. Whether or not it’s a good idea or without consequence is a different story. However, it’s not a stretch to suggest that most people who deal with road infrastructure have dealt with unsafe conditions that could be avoided with restructure. If conditions were unsafe, nothing was being done about it, and the community did something about it to make it safer, power to the people. No one is suggesting a precedent should be set by this, but I would suggest that if we don’t want a repeating pattern, there ought to be a better, more expedient process in place than breaking the law to make this action unnecessary.

It really is. Slippery slope fallacy. Letting one neighborhood collectively decide to make an intersection by a park safer for children to cross is not the same as letting all people make their own decisions regarding signs and intersections. We are capable of handling individual situations as context-sensitive instead of assuming universal application is the only option.

It’s a hard life for those of us who believe in reincarnation. Future’s looking real rough.

Can you provide a source for the cannibalism? All I ever saw was speculation about a handful of possible code words, but never a smoking gun.

Gut punch…

“If you type your password, it automatically gets filters into asterisks. For example, my password is ********!”

Someone believed this. His password was hunter2.

I think you’re cool. I’ve been wanting to do a similar project, but I don’t have a camera ready yet, and life is happening quite a bit these days. I’ve got a few liminal space photos in my phone’s camera reel that I think are neat at least. I’d like to see what you’ve got if you ever decide to share. Would be cool to see.

I’m convinced those words are priming buzzwords to tell you how to feel. Just today, I caught the same words: “chilling moment gunman stops to put on his glasses” with ominous music over the footage. The man was killing people. Him putting glasses on wasn’t chilling. It was a mundane moment in an otherwise gruesome event.

That’s not what makes it ridiculous to me. I think it’s ridiculous that Google locking down android now costs me hundreds of dollars to deal with for no real benefit to myself. No shade being thrown towards Pixel or GrapheneOS. The circumstances are the problem. Google is the problem…which does place quite a bit of irony on the solution being a Google Pixel.

It’s not hard to understand for me.

I don’t have a Pixel. GrapheneOS now costs me hundreds of dollars. I’d like to be able to flash a custom ROM, but I literally don’t have the option without buying into it. I’m sure the Pixel is fine, but so is my current phone that also already cost me hundreds of dollars. This is a ridiculous problem to have.

Going through these movies for the first time ever, and I just heard this quote last night. I finally get to say I understood that reference 😎

They may well lead to the thing that leads to the thing that leads to the thing that leads to AGI though. Where there’s a will

Democrats are criticized by democrats all the time. Republicans actively censor all criticism they have control over.

For the curious, I got two responses with different calculations and different answers as a result. So it could take anywhere from 1.5 to 7.5 billion butts to swarm mount everest. Again, I’m not checking the math because I got the answer I wanted.

Well yeah. I’m not gonna verify how many butts it takes to swarm mount everest, because that’s not worth my time. The robot’s answer is close enough to satisfy my curiosity.

This is the way.
