Chaotic neutral should be a solo laptop screen.

Both of you are assholes.

Nothing warrants destroying things over a perceived misgendering.

At the same time, a bit of an asshole response from you, when you could have just politely said that you meant dude as gender neutral term

Unpopular opinion, but Tesla model 3 has been the best car with the lowest total cost of ownership.

Electricity is cheaper than gas by a lot, no moving parts or fluids to replace except washer fluid, brakes last forever since it’s Regen braking.

It’s also pretty fun to drive.

Not a fan of the dude, and never bought into the hype on the tech side, but it’s a solid car.

The cloud givith and the cloud taketh

No, because I need too much information for work. This would render me unable to perform my work, so I would need at least the replacement salary.

Not really.

Now the 15 sponsored links will be irrelevant to YOU as a user since they can’t personalize the ads.

They can still use context advertising which does not use your personal information but only what you are giving to them for search.

Amazon search is probably the least impacted by this, since they use context advertising by default.

Rampant alcoholism.

Just switched to them. Would recommend so far.

Assuming x percentage of legally acquired guns can be diverted to illicit means.

Less overall Availability of guns means less overall availability of guns in the illicit market.

Disenfranchised minorities. I mean the Panthers literally started California gun control.

Though I think more gun control is no doubt better for society.

You can also copyright the original character and make AI generate all the motions of that character. Since the originals was (human) created and copyrighted, it doesn’t matter that AI created art derived from that character isn’t copyrightable in of itself.

Plus there is also trademarks for character likeness.

All in all, I agree with you, this is a non issue for Hollywood studios.

To be fair CDC recommends 7 days after onset of symptoms.

At least 7 days have passed since symptoms first appeared if a negative viral test* is obtained within 48 hours prior to returning to work (or 10 days if testing is not performed or if a positive test at day 5-7)

It does seem a bit rushed to me

That talk was quite nice, I really enjoyed it, thank you

I should be more precise.

I think we will still have charlatans even if we solve all societal problems because people are fundamentally not built to reason, and they will always be vulnerable to those who prey on the ignorant for power.

Thus, we need to build society as if people are stupid to prevent the worst abuses of power.

In terms of harm, almost everything will be several orders of magnitude less than lead. PFAS and Microplastics might be bad, but they really aren’t on the same level of bad as lead, which is known to cause severe societal harm due to its impact on the neural system.

I disagree.

Our intelligence was not evolved for too much thinking. Most of our brain is wired towards feeling, and for the overwhelming majority of human existence, our feelings were well suited for small, cooperative, communal existence as small tribes/bands/clans. We don’t “think” for most of the decisions we make in our day to day lives, nor do we try to learn from all the possible sources.

IMO religion is “needed” in order to shortcut our feeling brain to help make us make the correct collectivist decision. It’s like writing software on shitty firmware and limited hardware so that it can still function in modern society.

Yea.

1. Try to get the Wi-Fi node to a better place using Ethernet.

2. Get a Wi-Fi “repeater” or better yet, a mesh network, where the second access point is placed in between your computer and the router to “rebroadcast” to the router.

Get an access point with a healthy uplink. Mesh networks work too.

I wouldn’t recommend powerline unless it’s the last resort. It’s really hit or miss depending on your circuitry.

Not sure how that changes my argument.

If you look at the rental market in the United States, it’s cheaper to rent than it is to own if you take into consideration the opportunity cost of money when it is not invested in the higher growth equities market from a purely financial perspective.

Farming isn’t a charity either but it’s usually more efficient for people to not work as farmers tilling their own land.

I do think it is an effective hedge against increased cost of living in your particular area, and swapping that out for other risks such as natural disaster, long term climate and political disaster, and increases in interest or insurance costs, but I don’t think most people see it that way from a financial perspective.

From a market average perspective, your earnings in the market will far outweigh normal increases in rental cost in the long term. Property tax, insurance, and cost of home maintenance are also going to increase as cost of living increases.

I do 100% agree there is a psychological benefit to home ownership that might even extend to the foundation of American middle-class democratic values.
