This is a good answer. Also people don’t tend to change their minds quickly on subjects they feel strongly about, but quality contrary evidence, especially without judgment or moralism, can sow seeds of doubt.

It’s good for rapid output of plausibly human text that can then be sorted or assessed for adequate validity or utility. That’s all.

Looking for overnight jobs might help. He could try disabling them and see if the issue stops, and if it does then re-enable them in a controlled way to determine which one was causing it.

So: “a few months ago, the Ubuntu Forums community merged with our Discourse community after being apart for quite a long time. During the merger, we simply adopted the Forums posting guidelines without a thorough review by the Community Council. We didn’t spot that the Forum had a stricter policy on politics and explicitly disallowed flags. Adding to that issue was a generational difference in the meaning of “queer”, and whether or not it’s still considered a slur.”

Okay.

It’s incredibly stupid, but for those who truly believe in it it’s fine as long as they just use it as a guiding principle in their own lives. But it tends to attract the passionate sort, as any theoretically “anti-suffering” ideology will, so idk, I circle back to it’s stupid.

Does someone need an explainer about why suffering is natural, okay, not inevitable, and certainly not the only thing a being can feel? Or that the world is actually quite nice, but we generate suffering within ourselves?

I’ll believe it when they catch a McDonald’s manager shorting his employees’ wages.

It’s just the internet making all media available, and streaming is the lowest friction way of giving people that access.

Ummm, go to suckless and get dwm maybe? Idk, but enjoy the adventure!

Yet unmentioned: Halo. I remember being introduced to the first one and being completely unimpressed. It just wasn’t that much technically better than the competition, and the world as far as I could see was super boring.

Collecting monsters and fighting them is fun, but Pokemon, to me, is just not the best game for that.

Keep in mind that music lost a lot of its cultural cache since your benchmark decade of the 90’s. Mass culture isn’t really the same as it was then. I remember Weird Al talking about doing a lot fewer parody songs just because fewer people recognize any given song.

Yeah there’s still music out there, but if you don’t know it that’s not really your fault.

American Prestige is firmly left-wing, but principally a news show.

This Is Revolution is an irreverent socialist podcast that often dedicates whole episodes to music and sports.

If you want a talk radio show about unions, The Valley Labor Report fits the bill.

There’s other stuff out there that I think is good, but is also a bit more on-the-nose with political theory and punditry.

Honestly not the answer I was expecting. Thanks for clarifying.

Learn to accept discomfort. Get a shrink too. Get over yourself.

Seriously. Humans live in tribes. You may feel like an alien, but you’re not. You’re just another human, and you’re not better than the people who annoy you. If you want to be a misanthrope start with yourself, but self-compassion is better for you and everyone else. If you want to solve the problem of your discomfort, recognize that the problem is inside you. Your body, and how your mind interprets it.

🤚Quick sidebar: what are talking about when you say “my producer”?

NGL, Vivaldi is the best version of Chrome.

Sidenote: when did Masnick become such a choad?

Order kiosks = good Voice to text ordering system = obviously not ready for prime time

Joke’s on them, because those were all written by Chat GPT 😂

I’m not sure I like the idea that you’re “offering a service” in a country simply by being a data service that can accessed from it.

Someone from Australia can call me and we can chat. It doesn’t mean I or my phone carrier are offering a service in Australia.
