Modern tools are fascinating, the way you described it sounds so absurdly high tech

You might think so, and yet it's something that has actually been proven right time and time again for me. It's what people call "gut instinct". It has kept me safe, and the times when I've ignored it because of "oh it's probably a false alarm" I've come to regret later on

It sounds like woo-woo maybe, but why? You don't think that it's possible to tell if, say, someone doesn't actually care about others? If they, say, only see them as tools to be used? If you had a trump-like figure put in front of you for 5 minutes, how much would you be able to figure out in that 5 minutes? Quite a lot I'd say

So why is it unreasonable to think that you can't tell?

Plant based chips with a side of vegan tomatoes

I don't know how you got "discriminating against people based on mental disorder" from "realizing they are not a safe person"

Those are not the same things at all.

I have also the same experience as the other commenter, and I tend to get along well with people with mental health issues that are actually safe

They are also useful for maintaining orbits (like the ISS), and could potentially be useful in long duration missions such as interplanetary transfers. If it takes months to get to Mars anyway, low thrust won't matter if it means you get more total delta-v, and able to reduce the travel duration anyway, but of course this depends on the specifics

So you unironically think they are worse than Google?

..really? I don't think you are being serious

Yes, but when it comes to weight, it really is just calories in and calories out. A healthy diet is more than that though, indeed

You can still eat junk food and not go up in weight as long as you don't overeat

Seriously though, I saw this shit coming from a mile away, it's been dead obvious that the US had some really bad growing fundamental issues that were never going to just magically go away by themselves (I mean, hell, not just the US, but still, they were going to be the first ones, and then there's stuff like climate change..)

Why the hell do I seem to be able to figure out overarching trends better than literal professional politicians and leaders of countries? It's so immensely infuriating

It's possible AI data centers will just be outsourced to other countries. You don't really need the data center to exist locally in the US

I do find it funny how "horse with a horn" is a fantastical creature that doesn't exist

But narwhals with fucking lances on their heads and giraffes with their long ass necks do

I don't know about you, but here in Europe you just send everything in digitally now

Exhibitionism. It's hot and fun when people get to see you be sexual

If you don't understand it, then that probably just means you're not into exhibitionism, but many people (including myself) are

I don't think this is about hating old people, it's about old people who hard on young people for dumb stuff for no reason, while being no better themselves

I've had old people harp on me for playing video games, abd then all they did was sit and watch TV and drink beer

I can see a clear difference between 144hz and 240hz, so even that part isn't right

And I haven't used an 8K monitor, but I'm confident I could see a difference as well

...now the question is do we want to implement a command for that

Deck 2 probably won't come out before the next generation of chips at least

They very much are, there's just little to no political will to implement them

In the end, the stock market is a natural logical progression from the starts of capitalism, and the situation we are in today is again closer to capitalism logical conclusion

From capitalism's basic principles, profit above literally everything was always bound to happen. Just how evolution happens through natural selection. It's a similar process. Because ultimately capitalism is an economic system built on competition, not cooperation.

I have like the exact opposite issue. I've used windows for most of my life but it's so so much harder to actually fix issues in windows compared to Linux

And for me, the big reason for this is because windows is a black box, Linux is not. You are always able to dig however deep you'd like in Linux compared to windows. Now, that might not be relevant for a layperson directly, but what it does mean is that someone else can understand the system component intimately and help you.

Meanwhile on windows the amount of "run this command that we auto-post to every issue report that doesn't work" I've seen is ridiculous, and it never solved the problem. And then I try to dig into how to actually solve it, and really struggle so much more.

Also, Microsoft just sucks as a company. Recently I've wanted to clone a windows installation to an external drive. Should work fine, right? I could easily get that to work for Linux, and any issue that popped up I could fix. So, tried to use clonezilla, didn't work. Ok fine, let me reinstall. Turns out Microsoft dropped support for windows on an external drive. Well that's garbage and dumb, as I've used this to my benefit in the past. But turns out, people say it still actually works, you just need to use a third party tool. Which doesn't inspire confidence, but whatever

And it did work in the end, but it took me many many hours of extra work of trying to figure out what the problem was, giving up, then looking for more information on alternate solutions, then finally finding something that worked, albeit with more work on my part

But if it was a Linux installation I'd have been finished in an hour probably, because I expect that cloning a drive would work without much issue there
