Seriously don’t be a dick, just absurdly relevant.

Simple compliments help a lot too. "Nice work!“ or whatever can really make sometimes day!

Yes but we’re in the bait and switch phase of it. They’re pushing the AI responses at the top of search to cut down the through clicking to Wikipedia. They’re trying to capture behavior by being the lowest effort route to an answer. They’re gambling that people will forget these other sites and then stop donating. Then it’s to the courts until they’re too broke to keep the servers online.

The information will still be free, but maybe obfuscated enough that most people accept [erratic] information as a service.

His work on malaria in Africa focused on bed nets to the explicit exclusion of larvacide control of mosquitoes. Millions of preventable cases over the last 30 years.

Then there’s the circumcision to fight aids.

Guy’s a fuckwit.

Behind the bastards

This is why they want Wikipedia and internet archive, etc, killed off. They have it for their training data but they won’t have a profitable model via paid subscriptions without a monopoly on information.

I’m inclined to think the fans are more for fanning the plants so they can perspire and breathe more readily. Many plants need a breeze to grow well.

It’s called diffusion. Unless the greenhouse is hermetically sealed, and the rate of consumption does not exceed the rate of diffusion, the ratio of CO2 will be similar to that outside.

A simple vent will be enough if not just small gaps in the structure.

Lol yeah little counterproductive in the long run

So jealous of being able to sleep on the plane…

🙏

but their many relationships are entirely performative. and they have built up their entire life as one big act.

Is precisely the part i disagree with if you’re going to generalize the way you did in your first reply. Hence talking about the experience even with honest meaningful deep non-performative relationships.

it means they are mentally ill.

Psychological health indeed impacts it, hence why i brought up depression and anxiety to name just two of many conditions that could contribute.

The wealth disease, on the other hand, is probably generalizable in the way you’re suggesting. I couldn’t really care it someone is sad about being ultra-wealthy. Maybe they should give it up and be a depressed laborer like the rest of us.

I’m more bothered by the hour and minute hands having the same length.

Edit: make the minute hand shorter to make it worse

This is an extremely reductive take based on anecdote.

There are a lot of reasons people can feel lonely. Hell you can even feel lonely when you have deep meaningful relationships. Sometimes it’s a result of anxiety or depression, or an abusive relationship.

Of course some people fall into the category you speak of too.

My anus is bleeding

Yeah anxiety sucks ass. Speaking from personal and recent experience my suggestion is ACT (or CBT) therapy if that’s an option for you.

I think this is a + use case for AI. It’s in the “Not like that” realm of use cases

Dan and Jordan are so soothing.

The taboo is starring/oggling or catcalling a stranger. If you look people in the eyes/face and don’t linger then no one is going to care except people who would have been a bother in any case.

Seems you have a plan. Good luck!

Ooh that doesn’t sound nice, you shouldn’t be hurting yourself.

I’m suggesting you learn [train yourself] to be in the presence of women comfortably without even having to worry about getting an erection. It makes it a lot easier to get to know women.

But if you want a men’s only gym there’s plenty of hole-in-the-wall places called “Iron Pounders” or something like that. At-home weights are also widely available.
