No, I need to apologise, I kinda got confused in the threads. That is, I thought this was downstream from another comment I made on the topic, where my point was basically: you (not the literal you who is interested in this on a different

I just thought of the most annoying blog in the world. Individual spacing between words, depending on how thoughtful you want the pause to be. And by "individual" I mean a different floating point number denoted amount of em each.

> I carefully considered execution flow and made sure the simple looking code actually did everything correctly That is what I love about coding. Not just insofar as it's necessary and useful (it is both), but just as a puzzle in it

"I totally could make a point but you wouldn't listen anyway so I won't" Yeah, right. If you come up with "so no auto-complete" that's totally a you-having-no-arguments issue, not me not giving a fair hear

maybe an LLM can explain it to you, just give it the context as well

I know what a job is, the problem is rather that you don't seem to know that "finding purpose in something" and "making it your identity" are completely different things.

What historical fact is the US trying to systematically suppress, is the question. This beating around the bush about things that are "considered uncouth in some circles" just underlines there either aren't any, or they'

We're seeing, right now, that the people pushing for it are doing it in ways just as you do. Maybe you'll have to accept being considered a second class slop human, who knows? Or do the threats only flow one way?

Would the same doctor also casually give you advice on suicide, confirm the suitability of a piece of rope, and all that? You cannot cherry pick like that. When you talk of "answers" in the same category as humans give them, of &q

Rock'n'roll yes. Youth culture seems harder for me to say anything about, because that can mean a wide range, attitude towards drugs etc. But popular music young people dance to, for sure. You remember Neue Deutsche Welle, right?
