Like a lot of newer video content creators, this author has perfected their ability to speak exactly like a speech to text synth does: The same inflection over sentences, no human variability between lines, a lot of post-processing.

Nobody is born enjoying planning things, it's something you like better as you do it more. Of course, you can accept the fact that you are not born enjoying it and then just not do it but that doesn't seem like a decision to be ce

Lots of people are horrible and when you are well-known, this translates into legions of horrible people who know who you are and see you as something to maybe bother. Anonymity should be the first choice for public-facing work, if you enjo

We can call it what it is. A marketplace for children, as horrible as that sounds.

Either it's impacting your social web and you already know about it or it fundamentally doesn't matter. "News" being necessary is something people that benefit from it being necessary like to tell you, but it doesn'

> For a brief period, journalism was a respected professional-class career. That must have been an extremely brief period significantly before I was alive, because I have never heard a single human being imply this.

This reads as so outlandish it's close to satire. How can you not see your neighbours? Do you live in the middle of a huge field with nothing in it?

There's a popular theory (hormesis I think it's called) that says this. It's also just something that's popular among people that are "just logically thinking" / "using common sense", I've h

You just made a case for children not being sentient.

In some sense it's easy to figure out: If you change everything and the feeling stays the same, congratulations. You are depressed.

Some ethics board out there looked at this proposal and thought "well, that looks fine to me!". That thought is almost as horrifying as the torture these scientists visited upon these defenseless mice.

It's not a personal attack to say that you have a definite horse that you like to speak on ("race", as nebulous and weird as that is). Above you have reframed more or less the same thing as a culture issue, which has been wi

The racism thing is definitely a soapbox issue for this person, which is a little distasteful to be sure. I do not see any antisemitism.

A little off-topic, but the "nice idiot" routine definitely works: Admit you are possibly in the wrong, but still would like whatever it is you need. Even if you don't immediately receive what you want, doing this a few times

Arrogance and belief in the superiority of humans, even absent any understanding of the source material. It's kind of depressing, because this entire thread is essentially a rehash of absolutely identical discussions I've had with

Why does it seem that way to you? They specifically detailed they can still act in the expected way, just with dissociation. Nothing inherently dangerous about that. To get a driver's license, I don't think a sense of self is requ

> Market saturation of the standard alone should be enough to get alignment on a single connector Sure, but it's not. So this is not smart.

Things are always breaking, everywhere. The people analysing and fixing that are engineers too, but what they do is not innovation. It's maintenance. Nothing wrong with that.

After I wrote three lengthy paragraphs explaining to them how the espoused philosophy makes no sense, I realised I could not conceive of a reality where these arguments were made in good faith. Perhaps it is better to just not engage with i

You say it is not machine-readable, but it comes with an XML representation of the PDF embedded in the PDF (so that you can re-upload it later to edit it). I'd say that is plenty readable. > [...] it gives zero clues on the creativi

At first reading these sentiments felt like I had stepped into some sort of horrible satire, but now I'm starting to think that maybe this is just how it is. Does the average US citizen really think this way?

This is hilarious. For those unwilling to click: It's a paper outlining how to make pseudoephedrine From n-methylamphetamine.

Maybe I'm missing something, but all I see is an explanation of slider stuff and a next button (that I pressed at least 15 times). No Doom levels. Very disappointing.

This has a clear benign use. Of course it sucks that you can also use it in a hostile manner - but the fact that this tool is publicly available rather than hidden in the pocket of some unscrupulous blackhat means that every space that uses

"Can the SEC stand up to this random rich person" doesn't quite have the same punch as the current title. It's a hook to get you to read it, which is apparently something they do. This is a practice you should not reward

If this were the case, the air would not keep increasing relative to bag size. Leaving all that aside, the crisps I bought as a child came in bags with nowhere near this amount of "required" extra space. This is quite simply a dec
