   I've been thinking about this a bit lately, because my sister has a son I'd like to share some of my favourite Goosebumps books from the 90s with. I think they'd still be fun reads for a 7-10 year old, but I wonder how much t

   There's nothing particularly unhealthy about being a baseball fan, the same cannot be said of working 996s.

   I genuinely love my job and am excited about it and I still wouldn't do it for anywhere close to 996 hours

   I don't even have kids and I wouldn't do it for any amount of money. I have my own (and only) life and I don't value money above that.

   sure, we may call that a misuse. But there are already people using them this way, and they're marketed this way, and I was not making a point about the correctness of using them this way---just observing that this is going to have far

   cars are indeed a huge problem in Toronto (like most cities), but the tunnels are nice to have even when there are no cars outside. I used to live in a building directly connected to the subway and could, on rainy or very snowy or grossly c

   Immigration violations are a civil matter in the United States,though, not a criminal one. You know. Back when "the rule of law" was a thing.

    I agree with you, but until very recently it was super rare to see anything other than techno-optimism about LLMs on this site. I assume partially for the reason you bring up.

    I think it just doesn't do very well and likely gets flagged often. If I type his domain name into the search bar there are only three articles.

    I'm no artist (I even failed high school art) and I think AI media generation is a travesty.

    Have you read the chat logs? Just asking because ChatGPT specifically encouraged this kid not to seek help.

    I'm almost 40 and I only answer the phone if whoever is calling me messaged me to ask if they could call me.

    I had a MacBook once that lasted for 13 years, and that's what I used to assume people meant by "crazy good lifespan". Once on this site I saw someone talking about how the lifespan is so good they only had to replace their M

    > This is also the full selection of kids' choices, btw. I grew up in an environment where these where my choices and it was terrible, it's a big part of why I've made "being able to go anywhere on foot" a goal.

    no, I am talking about actual urban environments where people get around by walking, cycling, or maybe using public transit. Sure, I voluntarily lift and go for a run. But if I want to see friends, buy food, go to the doctor, go to the phar

    I live in the most urban environment that exists in my country and get significantly more physical activity than the car-dependent rural dwellers in my family. As it is, I am almost 40 and have never owned a car, cities are great.

    I don't know how old you are, or how long you've been on Concerta. But to provide a different experience to anyone reading this: I too got (re)diagnosed in my 30s and prescribed Concerta. Rediagnosed because my mom then told me I&

    I'm on methylphenidate and if it were addictive I wouldn't forget to take them... well, probably pretty much ever, unless I misunderstand addiction. In reality I forget to take them once or twice a week. I recently started using o

    Honestly, this is something I would just self host. This isn't data I'd trust anyone with, and I don't even have sex with men.

    I used to love Garmin and I'll probably always use their watches for actual sports, but I don't trust the company anymore. I heavily debated getting one of these and I bit the bullet a few days ago. The use case is I want a watch

    I just don't like the user experience of talking to a computer. I would probably have more use for these things if they weren't chatbots.

    My manager and I had a conversation about this in a recent one on one and I realized I may just never read a new author if they were published after 2020 again. At least not without a very solid recommendation. I have negative interest in w

    I read like 80 books in a slow year but if someone approached me at the grocery store and asked me to read even a children's book I would refuse. It's not because I can't read, it's because when I'm at the grocery s
