Thanks for finding it. Style over substance. The people "rebuilding" the city aren't construction workers, they're cool kids with tattoos. The "See Detroit" article (which for whatever reason, Meet Detroit is r

The idea presented in the article conveys to people that being cool is important and good. Cool is also code for Democrat or, at least, absolutely not Republican.

I remember getting a subscription and canceling it immediately after getting my first issue, somewhere around 2015. It was about how Detroit is actually a very cool city and had photos and interviews of cool young people with tattoos. Simpl

Labor force participation rate tells a different story, so I'd be more careful in asserting statements like that.

Those tabs are not that easy to pull by hand. Very easy to break and then you're forced to pry out the battery, which is less safe than if it didn't need prying. I know the glue is unnecessary because every time I've replaced

I agree it is hard to capture that feeling. I've had it a few times, like being in Yosemite it felt majestic, I can't think of a better word for it right now. But there is beauty in nature everywhere. It is harder to find in popul

I also find travel mostly unfulfilling, but one difference from the article is that I like doing things while traveling that I would also do in my hometown. For instance, I will go to museums, and I have gone to museums at home before, incl

The reason they don't train the model on their code is specifically because they don't want it accidentally spitting out snippets of their proprietary code, not because the code is "extremely hard to work with." I'm

Language is power. It is simply a power grab where people invent new language and initialisms intending to claim ownership and control of them and use them as a tool to, like you say, exclude people. DI became DEI became DEIB in less than a

The fact that your uncle never bothered trying to pass a driving test isn't the justice system's fault. He's not a victim or puppet without any agency in his life.

Some are harping on the sentence before this, but this is absurd: > How awful it is to reduce human connection to that. To think that I am only allowed to maintain certain social connections as long as they continue to produce monetary v

You'd have a point if these actions saved lives, but they didn't. And it turns out in some cases, the actions probably led to more deaths, e.g. NY quarantining patients in nursing homes.

I would otherwise be 'on your side' but this is not a great take. Lockheed Martin's profits also help pay for pensions. Phillip-Morris as well. I don't think this makes their business actions a net good.

Funny you didn't have a problem with the comment parent to mine summarizing all dislike of Mr Beast as snobbery.

I agree in a sense, but I also think the paranoia inducing negative hype serves a similar perspective as the overly optimistic hype. Both pose a perspective that the current iteration of AI is extremely powerful and can/will change the

This moral argument doesn't really work on people from the US after about 20 years of global militarism, especially that whole stint in Iraq and Afghanistan. I hate murder as much as the next guy, but our political and military leaders
