It probably does suck! I’m not very experienced, and I was just whipping up something quick to test if my random MSFS2020 mod idea could work.

Copilot is crazy. The other day, I was writing a Python function that would call a Wikipedia API. I pulled from the internet an example of a GET request, and pasted it as a comment in my code. # sample call: https://en.wikiped

Any organization willing to put "Civil Liberties" in their name should be foremost concerned with the individual liberties of Americans. So it worries me that their position on the Second Amendment is: > Given the reference to

Related: 53% of Democrats and 56% of Republicans see other Americans as being the greatest threat to America's way of life (over foreign threats, economic disaster, and climate forces). [0] It pains me what's happened to discourse

It's okay for people to vote D on some issues and R on some other issues. That's pretty much an inevitability for any person with diverse views in a two-party system. Besides, at the end of the day, how different are the two sides

My questions: What about the children? Are we ready as a society for it to be legal for someone to possess an image of a topless 14-year-old girl on their computer? Should the law view child toplessness differently than adult toplessness? A

As someone with ADHD, I had to uninstall TikTok because it became too much of a distraction in my life. When videos auto-load, have no previews, and take a commitment of only a couple of seconds, it's too easy to watch one more video t

A lot of teenagers only care about being popular, and will stray from their true selves to achieve popularity. That's why parents always tell their kids "just be yourself," and why kids sometimes respond "it's not a

I couldn’t think of a more Californian approach to fixing racial inequity. Instead of providing more economic opportunities for minorities to become executives, just make it illegal for the companies to not make them executives. Meanwhile,

I wonder how many of these users are unique. TikTok makes it simple to have two or more accounts. A number of content creators (especially ones who make NSFW non-nude content) have alt accounts that they can use when their main gets muted.

I think I understand the motivation for having a law prohibiting auto makers from selling straight to consumers. I’m sure it has more to do with money than ethics. My question: Why autos, but not other consumer goods? Should I be restricted

I agree with all of that, but I think you’re making the case that leftists are in fact averse to debate. If an outsider can’t interact with a couple people on social media without having already read all the important literature and knowing

Modern American leftism, at least on social media, is really weird. You have a lot of these so-called leftists rebelling against the philosophies of Marx and other communist philosophers on very fundamental issues (e.g. gun ownership for th

I tried to do this on a few different sites, but in my experience, there simply aren't enough good-faith actors. The dirtbag left[0] reigns over the nice fellows in leftist circles on Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook. They don't want

I read the comment in a different way: We are all literally primates. Humans and apes share a lot of physical characteristics. It's not odd that an AI would confuse humans with primates, it's just unfortunate.

I also have ADHD, and worse still, I'm all out of medication until mid-September. The reality is we have to be in control of our lives despite our condition. If you can't remember things, write them down. If you have a hard time f

On episode #1682 he talks about both figures. He was saying he does feel a responsibility to vet his guests so that he doesn’t just have crazies using his platform to spew vile, but ultimately that neither figure harms anyone just by being

I found politics to be too pervasive to escape on Reddit, which is why I eventually deleted my account. I tried to stick to non-political subreddits, but when I found myself reading comments about police brutality in r/dogswithjobs, I

What I miss more than anything else is having an attention span. Years of abusing social media has left my brain pinballing all over the place. I am a collection of unfinished thoughts. Even as I write this, I can feel my mind needing to la

I think it depends on the website. I used Reddit between 2012-2020 and I believe that website's community was ruined by the upvote/downvote system. For me, what it always comes back to is this: A downvote is meant to indicate &quo

We should take a step back. The location of the recording doesn't matter so much (though sometimes it does matter). The bigger idea here is that some interactions between citizens and LEOs are private matters and not in the public&#x27

The public is partisan if it dislikes damnatory but true information when the timing of it is inconvenient to a political party. It's sort of similar to the Brett Kavanaugh ordeal. Going from memory, the first accuser told her story in

I can't understate how much a fitness program and a proper wardrobe can turn your life around. In college I learned how to dress myself, how to layer, how to buy shirts that fit, etc. and after college I lost a lot of weight. Hoo boy.

Post-scarcity is a pipe dream. Even amoeba understand that life is a competition for resources. Stand still and you die. Even if the whole world lived in a post-scarce global society, there would be wars fought over who controls the supply

Optimal Stopping is the first chapter of Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths' book Algorithms to Live By , which does a good job describing the problem in laymen terms.
