you have a lack of purpose, sorry buddy but finding one is a life's work. you'll never fully admit it even if you write blog posts like this, but you basically got fooled. happens to lots of people

shades of grey and tradeoffs. gambling has a very clear and well studied negative effect on a small but sizeable percent of people and its not that great for everyone else. its my opinion were better off without it

is it really so hard to look at a couple xpaths in chrome? insane that people actually use an llm when trying to do this for real. were headed where automakers are now- just put in idiot lights, no one knows how to work on any parts anymore

the "david brooks" of business strikes again. simple, digestible "wisdom" that goes down easy, but is ultimately self congratulatory and too general to be meaningful. reading these posts is exactly the "fake work&qu

i think it depends how you quantify it. seems like there are many other species that might have things worked out better than we do

you absolutely can recycle some plastics. hdpe, ldpe, eps to name a few. doesnt mean they are good, or we should keep using them. but you are wrong in general
