And how does anyone vote for something that’s 99-1 unless you happen to be the first? Some things you should make a principled stand sure, but that’s not this.

The one way Bernie could still win the Dem nomination in 2016.

I see it as an anxiety thing. Like when Dino was calling that was on their terms when they were ready. Despite being only a few seconds later though, Dino is so far out of that headspace he can’t bring himself to answer the phone.

I gotta ask, what’s the situation with the senate? It would seem like a colossal lack of communication if the house bans it but the senate doesn’t. Or if the senate already banned it, why the house didn’t then? Shouldn’t they be relatively on the same page?

Pretty sure they can tell the method used when disengaging fsd/ap. So they would know if it was manually turned off or if the system lost enough info and shut it down. They should be able to tell within a few seconds if accuracy the order of events. I can’t imagine a scenario that wouldn’t be blatantly obvious where the tesla was able to determine an accident was imminent and shut off fsd/ap wroth enough time to “blame it on the driver”. What might be possible is that the logs show fsd shut off like a millisecond before impact/event and then someone merely reported that fsd was not engaged at the time of the accident. Technically true and tesla lawyers might fight like hell to maintain that theory, but if an independent source is able to review the logs, I don’t see that being a possibility.

The bots will just come up with something fake to scan and carry on as they always have.

Like a real human eye? Is this how Skynet starts?

That’s if it’s perfectly weighted. If it’s weighted to roll a 6, it might not always land on 6. This would lower the chance of rolling a 7 depending on what the overall probability profile is on the weighted die.

E: consider a die weighted to favor 6. Standard dice have opposite faces add up to 7. If this die favors 6 to the extent it never rolls a 1, any time a 6 is rolled on the second die can never result in a total roll of 7.

E2: I has the dumb. Apologies.

I specifically look for negative reviews before buying something. I haven’t really put numbers to a ratio of good to bad where I feel reassured about buying something but I’m sure it’s there. If your product has 5000 reviews with no bad ones, something is fucked up. If the majority of the reviews are “the delivery guy spiked the package on my porch and it was broke I’D GIVE ZERO STARS IF I COULD” then that’s a little better. Someone somewhere is going to have a legit grievance. I want to know what that is.

But the alternative is nothing.

Did they read 1984 and think, “This is a fantastic idea!”?

A solid routine can help. For years now I’ve started my day with oatmeal. Cup of oats, cup of frozen blueberries. It’s become a morning ritual. Oats are good for fiber which help you feel full.

Stock high fiber items (same reason as above).

Rethink what “feeling hungry” means. Your level of hunger shouldn’t indicate how much food you eat. It should indicate how soon you eat.

Before eating, chug water until you feel physically full. This will force you to eat slower and trigger your sated feeling quicker. If you just sit down to a meal and start inhaling food, your body can take a few minutes to really register you’re eating. This is why people sometimes “hit a wall” when gorging themselves. They’ve blown past where their body should have said “you’re full” before their body can send those signals to your brain. Eating slower and having a “full” stomach help to make sure you feel sated at the right time.

Get out of the habit of eating until you are really full. Have things to pull your attention after an appropriate amount of food. Start down that Google rabbit hole that just popped into your mind so you think about that rather than eating more. This can also help with eating slower if you’re in a situation where using your phone while eating is acceptable.

Make small incremental changes. People that suddenly upend their entire eating habits for the new fad diet change too much too quickly. It can be hard to stay the course.

Understand this is a long road. You won’t shed pounds overnight. That being said, don’t get down on yourself for messing up. It is a full lifestyle change. The small things over time start to add up. If you don’t stick to all of these religiously, that’s OK. Just make a concerted effort to do them more frequently than you did last week or last month.

You can’t out-exercise a bad diet. Unless you are doing olympic level training that requires more than normal calories, a bad diet will destroy your chances. It’s much easier to have a quick extra snack or heavier dessert adding hundreds, if not, thousands of calories in a single day. Running 5 miles might burn 500 calories. A couple candy bars will be more than that.

That being said, finding the right exercise can drastically improve your chances. I took up Jiu-jitsu and muay Thai. Doing that 2-4 nights a week is great for now than just weight loss.

Key points: make small changes you can stick to, focus on “better than yesterday” even if it’s not perfect, reshape how you think about certain activities (when to eat, how much to eat, what to eat), develop a routine that you don’t need to think about.

But I’m a hooker

Oi! I sometimes muck up the details about me life. Am I a lad or lady? Gay or straight? Is all good guvna!

I, too, am in a mixed attractiveness relationship. Though I’m on the opposite side as you. All I can say is if my wife was receiving those comments, she did not show it. After all these years I think her family and friends accept me.

But in all seriousness, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you are happy, then that’s all that matters.

Did you read the same comment as me? I read that as “why would the powers that be wilfully give up the path to that power?”

They’re not saying “obey”. They’re saying this shouldn’t be a surprise.

From my example, the part where they claim to have not made the argument is what I’d consider gaslighting. My understanding of gaslighting is any attempt to make someone question reality. So the reality is they definitely said one thing. When that goes wrong, they claim to have never said it. It’s a tool of someone who manipulates.

Except literally not the echo chamber. The intent is to get the message to those not yet brainwashed so they don’t end up in an echo chamber. You can still directly and genuinely rebut their dumbassery. That’s not “bad faith”. The fact that I know the idiot won’t be swayed by the truth, doesn’t change the fact it’s the truth. Addressing idiotic points explicitly is not bad faith.
