It’s kind of interesting that you say elevator music is soulless, not real art, etc. There are some genres of music that are based on elevator music, hold music, weather channel music, “Muzak” in general. It’s just as real as anything else, and people do seek it out.

“They glow in the dark, but you can hit them with your car”

Pretty funny that the slang term “glowies” for feds was started by Terry Davis.

The post nut clarity of realizing that buying that porn game was not such a great idea

I’d argue that it’s very important, especially since more and more people are using it. Wikipedia is generally correct and people, myself included, edit incorrect things. ChatGPT is a black box and there’s no user feedback. It’s also stupid to waste resources to run an inefficient LLM that a regular search and a few minutes of time, along with like a bite of an apple worth of energy, could easily handle. After all that, you’re going to need to check all those sources chatGPT used anyways, so how much time is it really saving you? At least with Wikipedia I know other people have looked at the same things I’m looking at, and a small percentage of those people will actually correct errors.

Many people aren’t using it as a valid research aid like you point out, they’re just pasting directly out of it onto the internet. This is the use case I dislike the most.

At least some editor will usually make sure Wikipedia is correct. There’s nobody ensuring chatGPT is correct.

I’ve had my 16TB ironwolf pros spinning for 5 years in my NAS, no issues. People love to trash Seagate but I can’t say I’ve had any issues. I also have 6x10TB barracuda pros and they’re fine too, for about 10 years.

Personally, I would rather just get fucked up by ICE rather than comply with the “papers please” state. Who knows, maybe I’ll even end up in the news.

Damn, I don’t follow any meme stuff anywhere but Lemmy. Guess I’m late to the meme party, I kinda hated them for the first couple decades of the 2000s.

What do you mean by same thing with Meshtastic, are they trying to sell spectrum around 900mHz too?

Calling that pyramid age I think is a little disingenuous, they didn’t have 40,000 psi concrete back in those days.

Bat and bird poop can carry diseases such as histoplasmosis.

OP is asking about seeing light, not being directly hit by it. A psychological effect.

This is obviously true in the strictest sense, but I don’t think it’s going to have the desired effect you want in the long run. How’s the War on Drugs working out? It’s been going for 54 years, so I assume it’s about wrapped up now, drugs aren’t an issue, black market is choked out, and society is better off.

Firearms restrictions will be enforced unequally; it will be used as a pretense to further persecute minorities. Those with money will simply hire private security contractors who can jump through the legal hoops to get whatever they want. The majority of shootings in the US are related to drugs and other illegal activities that have logistics channels to get guns just as easily as drugs or exploited people. Guns are durable and the demand exists. They’re not going anywhere.

The gun problem in the US is not the cause of our woes, it is the symptom. “Make X illegal” is the laziest form of government and it’s just granting them more power which will be abused eventually.

NoScript is duplicative with ublock medium mode, I am amazed people are still using it. It hasn’t been relevant for 5+ years by my estimation. Why use two addons when one you’re already using does it better?

Roughly similar to using Adblock Plus with many filter lists + NoScript with 1st-party scripts/frames automatically trusted.

Ban smartphones makes about as much sense as ban drugs or ban guns. It does nothing to address root causes and will do little to change anything for the better. Societal issues take more than “make X illegal”.

Well they’re not separated, so who’s really making the pedantic argument here?

Citation needed. The junctions in cardiac cells make electrical signals propagate through them all, so acting independently isn’t something that’s normal. There’s two loops, but one pump. It’s a single system.

all the “positive effects” disappeared over time and i was just left with those meh ones

This is the case for every single drug I’ve tried over a long period of time, and one of my hobbies is treating Erowid like a Pokédex.
