IANAL but what's stopping the "that's not my phone and I don't know the passcode" defense?

Aren't those terms totally meaningless in terms of modern "AI" though? AGI is nowhere near being able to play a violin solo, their fine motor skills are abysmal. The list goes on and on, they also aren't running a bakery

Russia seems to be moving ever so slightly to the west and south as of late.

I'm a young person in exactly the same boat. The screens are straight up dangerous and would for sure land my ADHD Gen Z ass in the hospital. Also the only reason I ever drive are road trips to get out to national parks and the like, s

I am an environmentalist. The line is that SpaceX is operating a fundamentally unsustainable business. The appropriate level of resistance is that which prevents them from conducting any launches at all. Launching rockets is quite literally

Not sure how that is a counterpoint, GP doesn't even specify they are talking about a nuclear family. Presumably other family structures have a similar dynamic where they want the youth to succeed.

Humans are nothing like a machine. Machines can be taken apart piece by piece and put back together again.

You're forgetting that the rebuild is only for survivors so it's a smaller scale.

On the eco-responsibility bit, just curious do you actually have a source that logging uses more carbon than mining? I'm not sure but my gut would say the opposite since rocks are heavier but idk.

I've seen many use these ideas as a justification to cut anyone out of their lives because they did work for them. Eventually, they lose all sense of purpose as they no longer have anyone to care for (and care for them) and they end up

Just curious, have you had tacos in El Paso? As a non-expert, strikes me as a place that would have good tacos since half the city is in Mexico.

It's not one giant semi circle. Lets say each semi-circle has a radius of about 2 ft (judging by the pictures). Every 8 ft section (1 wave/one full cicle) takes 2 pi 2 ~= 12.56, while the straight wall takes 8*2 = 16 bricks.

Any tips for this retraining?

I have the opposite approach when parking my car in San Francisco, I just leave the doors unlocked so they don't smash my window. I don't mind if they want to rummage around and find nothing but some old taco bell napkins.

I guess I'm against the trend since I'm a gen z who also vastly prefers a phone call to online. Computer systems IME are riddled with dark patterns, bugs, ads, and terrible UIs that make it nearly impossible to figure out where to

I don't think it's that puzzling. After designing the typeface, those same designers have time to sit down and write up a fancy brochure for it. Engineers on the other hand, have a long list of existing tickets, so the minute they

I hope you're not antisocial if you're designing software for society. I think you mean you're a little introverted or awkward. Some other people tend like that too though, don't be too hard on yourself. We also need to

Don't the statistics show that black people have about the same rate of deaths per encounter as other groups? https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1903856116 Deaths per capita are higher, but their police en

Indoor climbers are all software engineers in some cities. In Seattle and San Francisco in particular, nearly everyone I meet there is also a software engineer. The gyms are so expensive that they are the only ones who can afford it with FA

Wouldn't you get a super pixelated version of your original image back? Downscaling is lossy.

I commented about this above since this type of thinking is what I see most commonly in my anxious/depressed friends. Really think on it deeply for a bit and you'll realize this belief can't possibly be justified rationally.

Love the level of introspection going into this post. I'm compelled to add my own two cents to your narrative since it's helped me. I think step 4 is where people really get caught in a feedback loop. You come up with a reason why

Not the original commenter but pinball is huge in Seattle, they might be referring the Shorty's, which has been around for 25 years. They also have an arcade including an old school bowling machine and an awesome vibe even if you'

Because the porn kids can access today is completely different than the titty mags grandparent mentions. Today you watch literal sex slaves abused to near death, vomiting and crying while triple penetrated. I can't imagine how harmful
