I would argue that Arnold kind of has a brand around being wholesome nowadays.

I think it's more the fact that all male celebrities got away with this kind of behavior and worse in the past, but more recently people have started to look back on it with a critical lens. The nature of social media amplifies that critical lens.

Bernie has been pretty consistently progressive throughout his whole career, unlike almost any other politician. He stayed true to his convictions, and his opinions were so progressive for his time that he was ostracized for them. So his opinions are still held in high regard amongst the younger generations who are more progressive than their parents.

Also, I haven't heard anybody say that we shouldn't listen to older people, just that they shouldn't be running for President. Almost everybody would agree that he is too old to be running for the Presidency now, even most of his supporters, and probably Bernie, himself.

Culvers opened up some restaurants near me in the past few years, and it is so much better than In N Out. I'm glad y'all Midwesterners gassed them up enough for them to expand out this way.

The fries are the worst. They put no seasoning on them and they are never crispy. I don't get how the place is so popular. I want to like them, because they have great prices, and give fairer wages to employees than almost all other fast food places, but it's just not very good.

They seem to be doing fine without me, though. I work across the parking lot from one, and it is packed for every single hour they are open.

I didn't say I was going to try it, myself. I'm fine with my cats being carnivores. I just am going to hold back judgment of others who try it.

I wouldn't try this ever, myself. I just am going to stop judging others for trying it, unless I know it is causing their pet harm.

Pretty reasonable response. This actually made me change my mind up to the possibility of feeding cats a vegan diet from being unacceptable to being an acceptable practice. It's not one I'm willing to practice on my cats, but I will reserve any judgment when I hear of others practicing it in the wild.

They sell these at Walmart, too. It really only requires a chance sighting of it and a couple weeks allowance for a young teen or kid to end up with one of these cheap smartphones.

Its not over yet. I was raised in one of these places. My schooling was a joke. Then I discovered the internet, and all that brainwashing they tried to do in primary school faded pretty quickly.

These kids aren't going to be that easy to lie to with the way the internet is. Some will fall for the propaganda but many will not.

Damn, your aunt had a laser disc setup? Not only was she ballin, but she was cool, too.

I should have put a /s because the comment about aesthetic over readability was sarcastic. I was just joking, and I definitely agree with you.

Grok is a verb, meaning to understand something intuitively or by empathy. It was first used in the novel Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein.

Grok has been adopted by the tech community for use when someone is very advanced at using a certain program or a command line utility, etc. When somebody gets to such an advanced level, they don't just understand the program and it's uses anymore, they grok it.

It's actually kind of annoying and sad that Elon is stealing the word to use for his LLM.

Oh, I see now. I'm dumb. I didn't realize this just brings up random URLs to web 1.0 pages. Thanks for pointing that out!

I have found that local banks like credit unions, and such, seem to have nicer mobile apps from my experience.

I have worked as a software engineer for a smaller bank like this, and the development was a lot more honest. These kind of banks normally just want a pleasant user experience for their customers, unlike bigger banks that want to deploy all sorts of dark patterns to collect user data and sell extra stuff to their customers.

That white text on gray background. What a design choice.

Aesthetic > readability. The user can just select all on the page if they want to actually read it, right?

Edit: It was pointed out to me that this brings up a random URL every time someone clicks it, so everybody is not seeing the same thing. Whoops.

I feel like the way out is global and cultural in nature,

I agree that it starts with a sense of a global community. Instead of people considering themselves a citizen of their homecountry, they need to switch to the mindset of being a citizen of Earth.

We now have the technology to get past the language barrier, so it is more possible to get people together, talking about our future as a species more than anytime in our history.

One thing that could help is some sort of globally available social media, or forum that automatically translate to the language of the reader. Imagine if a Chinese person could post something in Chinese, but English speakers could read and respond in English, and vice versa.

That's fair and I can agree. I don't use Brave, but for everything I've heard about it, it sounds pretty competent. The team behind Brave doesn't deserve to suffer, and the hatred should be to Eich, himself, not Brave as a whole.

Brendan Eich should be blacklisted in the tech world. It's really too bad that they partnered with a bigot and his shitty company.

When I was younger, I thought Brendan Eich was a god for creating JavaScript and his contributions to web development. Then he started to speak about his personal views, and he instantly went from a god to an evil villain to me.

How can somebody so smart be so dumb and evil at the same time?

Its on YouTube in the US, but you have to buy or rent it to watch there.

Such great games.

My friends and I were too poor/parents weren't nerdy enough to get into PC gaming. So we had red alert set up on two PlayStation 1s with a link cable, and two big ass CRTs pointed opposite of each other.
