I’ve read this before, and while an entertaining thought experiment, I’m not sure there is anything really actionable here. Maybe just be mindful that people are trying to exploit you.

Why hasn’t anyone thought about making dating apps seasonal? The problem with all dating apps, is that after a certain point they become a cesspool of the dissatisfied customers who never paired off. Does anyone remember when Tinder first c

I’m not going to lie, this leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Why should anyone take spiritual advice from something that literally has no soul? It’s like taking advice on how to shoot a basketball from someone with no hands. Sounds demonic. 0

Eye color is a trivial phenotypical variation that has nothing to do with anything. Like programming languages. A woman’s biology, by nature of being physically weaker, is a relevant distinction in the context of violence, where physical st

It is in China. They don’t have an organic drip drip of failure. It’s all closely coordinated - it would be weirder if they have one or two fail, then next week 4, then 5 the week after. It would be a huge surprise to see a major correction

Well, that's a very nuanced and mature view of things, but for most people culture war means 'they different than me - no like!'. Very tribal, usually built around team blue vs team red. Cliches, stereotypes and tropes. I thi

JavaScript is a terrible programming language. Wait, talking about how JavaScript is a terrible programming language is pointlessly biased - we need to also talk about how Python is a terrible programming language. Everyone always seems to

Centering a widget regardless of orientation (and detecting the orientation) is incredibly trivial with Flutter. You might have just been tired at the end of a long day and missed something.

It’s an article about how violence against women is increasing. How is violence against men relevant here? Do you consider the needs of women so little, that you consider discussion of issues involving them irrelevant unless in the context

Yeah, but they were all illiterate and politically powerless, not to mention spiritually oppressed, so what were the actual, tangible options for things they could do with ‘their day’? They didn’t even own their own land.

Well, I guess don’t move to the big city and try to settle down with an IG baddie? I appreciate the fact that people like this exist, everywhere, in large quantities. But that means that the dating market, in some places, have decided there

Of course. If there weren’t, companies like Facebook wouldn’t be able to get away with saying that THEY are making the world a better place. If there was no truth to the story, there couldn’t be half-truths because no one would have any int

If video game devs were paid as much, and worked as much, as regular software engineers, the whole industry would implode. That being said, I think unionization would be the best thing that’s ever happened to this industry. Video game devel

When you go to a funeral, it’s considered rude to personally attack someone wearing black because they aren’t visibly crying. Have some class.

Go do something to help people. Volunteer somewhere. Talk to real people and help them with their problems in a low tech way. Engage with your local community. If you don’t have any ideas after doing that for a few months, then you are scre

Anecodotally, I’ve been using Claude Sonnet and it’s my favorite chatbot. The output limit is no joke - it can bust out some serious code.

There is an expression which I think is fitting, in a weird way - a successful marriage does not have to last forever. For some reason, we always tend to imagine that, once a company or organization is created, it must last forever. That fo

That’s a funny quote, and true in the western tradition of multi course dinners. I’ve made salad for some of my Chinese family and friends, and they loved it - you have to have good sauce and local ingredients, like tofu or taco salad esque
