Yeah, I agree that the statement, "porn has molded the world we live in," is problematic. Based on my experience, it certainly does affect a subset of the world negatively, but how much do those people go on to shape the world? It

I'm sure there have been studies done, but I don't know them off the top of my head. I'm speaking from personal experience here (since apparently I need to spell this out in my comments): I would say that violent video games

Yes, I've updated the original comment since so many people are getting tripped up over this. As I've said in another thread, this can pretty easily be implied by my comment, so it wasn't stated out loud. But I've added

I've had boys as young as 10 in my groups. How many ten-year-olds are experiencing the real thing? It's very easy to get a pre-adolescent brain hooked on this stuff. However, as someone else pointed out, every brain is unique, an

I've been helping young men escape the clutches of porn for over a decade now (leading what you might call recovery groups). Never once have I found a single story that ended well (but that's more or less expected given the groups

I see it more as a sign of how few mainstream alternatives have been proposed. I've been guilty of generally assuming a communist bent when I see a negatively zealous response to the "free market" ideology. I don't act o

That 1996 picture brings huge nostalgia for me. I still remember being an excited 11-year-old carrying my Pokémon badge book on Saturday, ready to compete in the TCG championship.

Well, I suppose it's in the eye of the beholder. Either way, drop luxurious, and the statement still holds. People with excessive wealth have been collecting supercars around the world for many years now.

I've been thinking of using a voice + AI flow. I do a lot of thinking when I go on walks and it'd be nice to record, transcribe, and summarize in a single flow. Does anyone know of an app that does all three?

I was curious if Infisical would eventually turn into Vault (i.e., move beyond pure secret management), and this appears to be the first step in that direction. Granted, the onboarding/usage steps in the article are dramatically simpli

This is true to an extent. A recent example that I witnessed unfold (we were a customer) is Earthly. They had a great core product that they offered a hosted version for, but most people just ended up hosting it themselves, and the idea nev

Yeah, it's a problem on a package-per-package basis. My point isn't how to solve the git problem but that the experience can vary wildly depending on the package. It can be surprising and often comes at the expense of time trying

Fair enough, but I would be concerned about the people who think that making (offensive) psychiatric diagnoses over the internet is a good thing that should be promoted. In the best case, it only confirms people's biases and does nothi

A surprising downside to Nix containers is that a majority of packages are not optimized for containers. For example, trying adding a dependency to `git` and see how big the container grows. Granted, the good packages (like git) allow custo
