More boring, too. Can't meet cool people if it's yet again just me left to throw a proverbial tennis ball against the proverbial wall.

We hate the demagogue for being a demagogue and their followers for being stupid.

Gotta really "love" the fact that "bigots and xenophobes" is its own overly-broad brush

So only ever buy condoms and duct tape from Target. Got it.

Sample size: 1 but I use Arc browser. It's still webkit under the hood (and in maintenance mode now), though it's actually pretty good and last I checked had most of the baked in google stuff toggled-off by default

It's so funny when a member of the younger generation comments. Younger generations are always trying to kill off the older generations. Both physically and metaphorically, too! It makes sense in a way. If you were actually successful

I was trying to use a grain/chaff analogy to respond to your post, but I think there were just less crops in the old days. For the sites (crops) that were there, you had a lot more healthy ones. As spam and low-quality sites proliferat

Geocities ran ads, but the user's page was still in the spirit of OPs comment. I'd say that lasted until the late 00's. Around 2009. I partially blame the rise of Facebook for the proliferation of "social," though,

To be fair, I don't think the porn sites have ever had egregious UX/UI. It's mostly Sourceforge and image hosters from the early 00's that have my votes as the worst offenders. To be fair to your point though, the pirate

I don't know. yarn never really turned into a vehicle to sell Facebook, though you always kind of transiently knew it was FB that offered it. I imagine that sort of transient advertising is it's own value, too.

They probably prompted for what they should do next and got this as a half-hallucinated response lol

Let us assume AGI never comes. I don't plan scenarios for when aliens land, why should I for AGI? It's not particularly close.

You got me thinking that what's going to happen is some GPU maker is going to offer a subsidized GPU (or RAM stick, or ...whatever) if the GPU can do calculations while your computer is idle, not unlike Folding@home. This way, the comp

If it becomes too antagonistic, people will change. The desire to build things is larger than any given iron fist du jour. Just ask Oracle or IBM.

A little tangental, but I'm not entirely convinced the things you list at the end are improvements, per se. Clothing is so cheap because it's polyester, which is essentially plastic and is demonstrably bad for the environment. Sam

Context is the plateau. It's why RAM prices are spiking. We're essentially throwing heap at the problem hoping it will improve. That's not engineering. It's not improving on a fundamental, technical level.

The organ harvesting purpose implies that the monkey chimera would have higher-order intelligence, right? Or are we to assume the organ harvesting is of the "rip and tear" variety as opposed to the "precision" variety? H

The difference is you CAN'T get Beyond meat to make patties without preservative-levels of sodium. You CAN get ground beef and make patties without preservative-levels of sodium.

But you're arguing something different now. Regardless of subjective opinion, the bottom line is salt IS optional.

As a musician I ask if the music is so fragile it can't stand up to some extraneous background noise, is it really worth listening to? Also, if the music feels bad enough to where people find talking to each other more pleasant than li

I'm so split on this. Ultimately I think I land on: "if there's chairs, engage in the shared sensory experience. If it's GA standing room only, it's a party and do whatever."

On the one hand, you're at a social experience. On the other hand, aren't you supposed to have your senses engaged in a shared experience? The interpersonal conversation diminishes that. On the other other hand, as long as you&#x2

The way I see it: I'd rather have animated characters than everyone looking like a fossil. Really put a damper on Star Wars Ep. 7 for me (among other things), but Harrison Ford didn't look or feel like Han Solo. I'm glad they

It's stress. I'm convinced of it. Little old lady is smoking cigars at 105 years old because she's stress-free. Willie Nelson is looking sharp for his age because he's low-stress. If it helps reduce your personal stress,

More prevalent, not absent. As I understand it, anything that affects the 5HT2A receptor will induce a psychedelic state. Magnitude being dose-dependent.

Fair point. You know your body the best and should be the final arbiter of what's ingested. Side point and question: Can't SSRIs cause Serotonin Syndrome? Doesn't the reduction of anxiety come with a small percentage chance o

I land on "if it helps it helps." But if you catch me in a get-together setting and we share a beer together, I'd say: "on the one hand you have a well-determined profitable path in the SSRIs, and on the other hand you h
