That entirely depends on the circumstances. One cannot make a blanket statement. Let's say that a horrible disease breaks out in a city and the government successfullymanages to quarantine the city before anyone gets out. The people inside suffer and most die without medical help or medicine, but the disease doesn't spread and humanity is saved.
However there are plenty of cases where we should stand up for the rights of a few people even if it costs the majority of people. Making things accessible for people with disabilities costs money that technically could be spent elsewhere, but an empathic society should stand above this kind of thinking and make sure that society is accessible to people with disabilities.
Better than nothing I guess. Obviously it's a privacy nightmare. But therapy is hard to reach nowadays and I've noticed that many men are reluctant to make that step. It'd be preferable if they did, but if ChatGPT can at least give an outlet for the emotions then it might just save a few people. Seeing men demolish themselves because they're too ashamed to seek help is something I've unfortunately seen quite often. Even though I'm aware of this I've still waited till it was way too late because I subconsciously didn't want to give in to the "weakness". I hate that men are conditioned this way, it costs lives.
"mem", which is west-frisian for mum. Other than that I don't really speak west-frisian, but words like mom/dad/grandma/grandpa all stayed in Frisian. Family also sometimes speaks Frisian to me, but unfortunately I forgot how to speak it at a young age and can only understand it.
I sincerely hope that nobody has that number as it's just numbers in increasing order (with 0 at the end). That number probably gets prank called constantly
Are you me lol? I did exactly the same, and at some point I started computing how many slides I had to make to make anything larger and I pivoted. My dad didn't know this stuff but I also ended up at gamemaker
This stuff is like cocaine to me. Liquorice with salmiak is my favorite candy. It's so interesting seeing people who didn't grow up with it dispise it so much. Nowadays I don't but it anymore because I can't stop myself from speed running all the candy once it's in the house.
I was equally confused initially, but then I looked at the clock in my house and realized that the number up top is the highest number, 12, and not 0. So the first number in the ordering is at the position of the 1 of a normal clock.
What lack of logic? The numbers on the clock are sorted based on the alphabetical order when they're spelled out in English. Just like with a real clock, the top number is the highest, not the lowest. That seems quite logical to me
I've been using Linux with Nvidia for 10 years and it's been a constant dumpster fire. The Nvidia driver constantly caused issues over these 10 years, especially during updates. Currently I'm having the issue that the entirety of Wayland, including all open programs, crash when I run out of VRAM because the Linux Nvidia drivers cannot fall back on RAM when running out of VRAM. It's making my gaming experience very frustrating.
We have a few of those here in the Netherlands and it's so ridiculous it's almost sad. These big American trucks really aren't fit for Dutch roads. They're too large for the roads, they don't fit in any parking lot, and they look ridiculous next to any normal car. I could sort of understand that a farmer would have them, but even then it can't be that useful because it must be a hassle any time the truck needs to pass through a city or village.
Call me an optimist, but I still hold the hope that we can one day do better as humanity than we do now. Humanity has become a "better" species throughout its existence overall. Even a hundred years ago we were much more horrible and brutal than we are now. The current trend is not great, with climate change and far-right grifters taking control. But I hold hope that in the end this is but a blip on the radar. Horrible for us now, but in the grand scheme of things not something that will end humanity. It might in the worst case set us back a few hundred years.
Yeah I have the same with Rollercoaster Tycoon classic. I spent money for it and really enjoyed it, but instead of patching that version for newer phones they just released a "new" version that's compatible with newer phones. I should've expected this from Atari, but damn it's so scummy
I tend to keep them around tbh. Sometimes I install random shit on them or use them for funny projects. I only miss one because it broke completely. The other 2 old phones are still here. I also don't buy a new phone every year so maybe that helps
Imo it's a good thing tho. Spreading our civilization across multiple planets is the only way to guarantee long long term success. Obviously we should also fix the climate change issue (and many others). But still, being spread across the solar system would give our species redundancy. An extinction event on earth like a large meteor strike would no longer be the end.
