Was it a loud environment or was she just a soft talker? I’m pretty sure there is a Seinfeld episode on this. In fact, it’s the pirate shirt episode.

Just be glad you didn’t say yes.

Are you making a 109 reference?

Yes.

Do the oceans turn into regular milk or salty milk?

Hundreds!

Then demand something else as a customer.

Semi-corporeal ghosts as well. They can also type.

That’s why I’m for electing Noone.

Sadly, a lot of people get tripped up because they are confused about one simple thing. We are not the government.

This really short book covers it well. https://cdn.mises.org/anatomy-of-the-state.pdf

In fact the first chapter argues that really pretty convincingly. So it only takes about 5 minutes to properly understand that we are not the government. Backing a politician’s grab for power really doesn’t benefit you, because, really, you are just giving social support to more power going to the uniparty, which doesn’t work for you.

It’s one of the shortest books written. It’s basically Machievilli if you freeze dried it into a two hour read. And the critical parts are up front.

I guess you aren’t a black lady in the south.

But watching youtube for your decompression doesn’t get you to a well rested state. It can do the opposite. So you aren’t making any progress toward actually getting free time.

Better decompression. Turn off all networking. Read something for 5 minutes and go for a walk. Successful decompression in 10 minutes, not 10 hours.

Whether intentional or not, or just progressive improvement on algorithms, youtube thrives by providing a need, and then providing it poorly so you keep your watch time going forever. This is a fun feature of machine learning. Non-willfull conspiracies. A system can do something malicious to get ahead that is equivalent to a highly calculated malicious action, while no one, including the model itself or the algorithms that trained it, or the people who trained it, understands what it’s doing.

Then come to a site with almost no moderation that still values mature discourse. https://submatrix.net/

The mistake of most low-moderation sites is to couple themselves with a reckless culture. But we all get to choose our culture. We can all simply choose to be mature people.

Can’t have AI moderation if there isn’t much moderation to begin with. And look, the proof is there. If we simply downvote immature people and upvote mature people, it actually works.

I don’t mind that communism has starved people because it hasn’t starved me yet.

Right. A more likely one is that having staff in a building at all are a liability and so all these warehouses are moving to robots. There will be an oversaturation of warehouse workers vs sites still using them, and so these fires are just going to bring wages lower.

A lot of people would need to find new jobs or transform them. I was wondering if anyone would see past the personal computing implications. I didn’t say anything to see how people would think naturally. With only a month to adjust, that would require a lot of fast movement. There has to be a buck to be made somewhere in that.

File distribution would have to move back to CDs or, more likely, SD cards with current software sizes. Games could still be sold. But the big question is what will happen with 90% of businesses that make use of the internet?

Well clearly people could use it to find security holes in their backend, since those def exist.

They would have to be baggy jeans. There is very little value in a deep pocket that doesn’t have space to move things in and out of that pocket. Women’s jeans, with exceptions, tend to hug.

I see. I guess home instance might be a phrase we should spread to avoid these kinds of confusions.

How would someone get banned from their own instance? Do you really own it if you can get banned from it?

The fact that the US started another war on a Sunday is proof that it’s not really a Christian nation.
