I used to donate a lot. Now I dont find my local stations content to be informative or relevant to me. I wish them the best and I hope they are successful in growing their new user base.

Same here. I used to listen to NPR while driving but sometime in the last few years it lost relevance for me. Rather than BBC and other world news, my local NPR station seems to be exclusively focused on hyper focused representation life st

The Twitter audio had a distinct "key note address" cadence to me rather than being conversational. Of course probably most training voice came from such addresses.

The audio directly in the post was for sure, but did you listen to the audio in the linked twitter thread? The only thing that gave me pause was the gpt text itself not the voice audio.

You seem mostly ignorant about what city life is like I have lived in NYC, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Toronto, London, Tampa, and San Francisco. The downtown parts, not their burbs. I think that qualifies me to have an opinion about city

That surprises me because the poster case for free range parenting arrests is a family from Silver Springs MD, about 2 miles north of Washington DC. The second most notorious example being from Wilmette Illinois about 15 north of downtown

I don't think anyone can claim with a straight face that farm/ranch living is not significantly closer to nature or not significantly more natural than living in a big city. Is it hunter/gather subsistence living in a quasit

For a ten year old, all of those things can be done in a city FAR, FAR easier in a city than in a rural area. Even exploring the woods, in many cities, can be done by a ten year old with a commuter rail train pass and a bike. Parents in c

While I am sure there are lots of independent city kids, I really don't think they are independent the way country kids are. Sure, we had to drive to more play dates and the closest kids who are actually our neighbors live almost a mil

When we moved to our rural community, we had visits from I'm guessing all the churches welcoming us and wanting to know if we would be joining their flock. It was awkward to explain again and again that I am an "agnostic atheist&q

That makes me sad to hear. We loved Philly. My wife did her PhD at Penn and we lived in Center City. When we moved there, South of South and West of the Schuylkill were the badlands. There was not a single place one could eat outside. We p

I have lived in SF, NYC, Tampa, MPLS, and Philly. I now live in a rural community that is still an easy drive to a city. When we had kids, I knew we would have to move despite loving the city. My personal favorite was Philly. Walkable and n

We take puppies and kittens from their mothers. Is that cruel? We spade and neuter them as well, is that cruel? Is the entire domestication of animals cruel? Is it kind to forgo neutering pets in the name of allowing them to breed unfetter

I get my meat from my neighbors but I don't believe that fundamentally changes the picture. I don't know a single rancher who is cruel to their cattle.

I live on a ranch, my neighbors are ranchers, they care for their animals. While we have horses not cows, I see little difference between how they treat their herds and how we treat ours. I believe this to be a false paradox. One that presu

Curious does not require one to act recklessly. I'm a curious person but I'm not going to eat cat poop on the off chance that it is tasty.

I'm an engineer, I'm a curious person. Why does it follow that I need to take 30 mins to create a snake-oil wallet? I'm curious sure, but mostly curious as to why someone thinks a hash to a public url of a gif of a catatonic

Clearly it does not imply either those things. Feel free to critique this as a strawman, but I personally use very little of the software I develop and I guess many/most devs are in the same boat.

At the beginning of every new term in school there is a flood of users so I'm sure that is some of it. People who think/thought they could build rep using chatGPT is probably a minor thing. Mostly though, I have come to the person

I think the American demand for affluent family apartment/downtown living is low. I'm not saying that people can't raise kids in an apartment in a big city. They certainly can and do. Particularly when there are few financial
