I think you’re falling into the trap of making a good faith argument when the people pushing to destroy encryption are not.

I think you will find, Mr. West, that it is not so easy to unring the bell. If you are truthfully NOT a Nazi then I would say you have a long road of public actions fighting Nazis convincingly if you wish to be believed.

I felt your comment in my bones.

I would just like to point out that the Tennessee Federation of Republican Women posted an online statement stating “Hitler and all intelligent leaders throughout history have understood that the way to change a country was through the training of its youth, to get them while they are young.”

It seems like the sort of thing that should be in text as well as screenshots just so we can help out any future web crawlers coming through these parts.

Alright, how do you explain this?

Or they pass a law mandating withholding.

Nah that place is fine. I got a ring there and they basically gave it to me. It’s really high quality and I love it. It is precious to me.

I definitely would. I’ve had to edit multiple posts after sending them because of formatting or other errors that were only obvious when viewing the post.

You ever seen this XKCD about “today’s 10,000?”

Your rant reminds me of that because I think you’ve got this idea in your head that everyone in life is at the same point in their journey as you are now. Linux has been on the edge of my mind for awhile but I’m a really busy working person and learning a new operating system seems daunting when you don’t have the experience.

Then I bought a Steamdeck last year and a switch flipped in my head; I was like hey this gaming on Linux and it looks like it is actually doable. Then a few weeks back a misfortune resulted in Windows getting nuked on my gaming PC and I had some free time so installed Linux for the first time and started trying to figure stuff out.

My point is that there are people who are truthfully interested but overwhelmed with life or it’s just not as high a priority to them so it hasn’t happened yet but that doesn’t mean that it won’t happen. This approach of “they would have done it by now if they were going to” just seems silly to me. People have lives and we are all at different places in our journey.

PST is a big place with a lot of variation. I have lived in CA & WA and found that in both things are way more chill than out east. However the biggest disadvantage of this is when you try to hire tradespeople to fix things at your home. Both states I’ve had lots of bad experiences with people who couldn’t give a shit. I know this can happen anywhere but I’m talking about a larger tend I’ve observed after living both places. Out west I’ve really struggled with finding someone to do a good job fixing anything at my home so I ended up learning to do a lot more stuff than I wanted just to get it done halfway decently.

Strongly disagree. The patient remains anonymous so not a breach of confidentiality. Beyond that, there is value to society in everyone seeing and contemplating the ethics of a situation like this. Because it is an extreme, unusual circumstance it forces you to examine your moral and belief systems to try and determine what you would have done and what you believe is “right.” Such introspection is critical for all of us to grow and hopefully do the best thing when we are thrust into an unusual moral dilemma.

The unexamined life is not worth living.

I've only played 2 games with dwarves this year

Rock and stone!

Whatever you do, don’t look up silicosis. Not a problem at all. Not relevant.

What a great breakdown on your thoughts, thank you for sharing. I’ll admit it’s not a perfect game but I think it worked for me much better than for you. When the game switched to Abby I had this sense that the writers were going to try and make me feel something besides hate/contempt for her and my immediate reaction was “Good fucking luck.”

But it really worked and as the narrative unfolded with Abby I found her to be a very sympathetic character and by the ending I was more worried about her than Ellie.

When I realized this I felt super conflicted because - who didn’t care about Ellie going into Part 2? And I think that message about having empathy for people you hate was such a powerful theme to make a whole game about that I was willing to let a lot of the smaller narrative mistakes go.

Have a good day.

What do you mean? Apple Intelligence isn’t enough?!?

/s in case that isn’t obvious.

Similar vein: when dealing with fraud, etc. I was victim of credit card and identity theft and found that businesses and credit cards took my disputes more seriously when I informed them I had contacted police already.

I’m a radiologist and our group uses an LLM tool to assist with generating reports on imaging studies. Our reports have a body that includes all of the imaging findings (which we dictate) and then a conclusion/summary calling out what is most important (and serving as a tl;dr for other physicians). The LLM tool analyzes the body to generate that summary of important findings. It certainly is not perfect and frequently requires some editing. Overall it is faster than me creating the summary each time though.

You’re not totally wrong but some things are not so easily treated as with rescue breathing. This is the same problem with any paralytic agent (e.g. botulism) is that the mechanism of death is suffocation since you can’t breathe. But from a rescue standpoint its really easy to breathe for someone whereas its not easy to stop multiple lacerations leading to exanguination and I think that is the point they were making is that this could be a survivable event if a rescuer is nearby.

I upvoted you because you’re wrong.
