Oh, I see. Who is that?

Does that make it funny?

You are asking as a mind alienated from its body. Your body has interests that are not your interests, and it uses suffering to bend you to advance its interests for it. We all exist in a state of conflict with our own biological inheritance.

Our bodies generate a mind to suffer on its behalf, because without awareness it isn't really capable of suffering. That is the point of your existence as a mind. You exist to suffer on behalf of something that is not capable of suffering on its own, so that by your aversion to suffering, you will make choices that are in the interests of your body.

You have to decide whether to simply adopt the interests of your body, or whether to try to hold on to your own interests and make that the point of your life.

Also, "The experiences of non-human animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. It harms us when we take pleasure in cruelty and violence."

what's the humour supposed to be

chapGPT is drunk uncle confidently stating a thing they heard third hand from Janet in accounting and then taking him at his word

Also you: "why do people bother to mention when information comes from ChatGPT"

Buddy, it's nap time. Catch you in a couple hours when you're feeling better.

FOSS is always available. R is always available. Your points remain but you're never in a situation where Excel is the only thing you can use.

It's not a tu quoque when NK isn't hurting anyone but themselves and the Americans are burning down the fucking planet. One is an urgent situation, the other is political theatre that most of us are unqualified to even analyze due to the embargoes, censorship and pervasive propaganda.

Being worried about rumors that:

they also execute/punish people(and their family members) for trying to leave the country for good or talk shit about their supreme leader

from a tiny, insignificant backwater nation when the so called leader of the free world is disappearing people from potentially every country on Earth, when the most powerful trading nation is intentionally destabilizing the global economy, well it reeks of looking for a distraction. The US government has as much to do with what is happening to NK people right now as the NK government does.

If you are an American, eat what's on your plate before you worry about NK.

We all see and hear what goes on over there.

Bullshit.

You're scraping too hard.

Okay but Americans are numerically illiterate.

I am less concerned with the long term traces we leave. Social interactions are ephemeral (or were, prior to moving them to the Internet) and we are here trying to meet our social needs, not necessarily to Build A Better World. I am all for the things we say naturally expiring and falling out of the record.

What bothers me is how a living conversation can be killed. And in such a way as to make it difficult even to find the people you were just interacting with again, if you don't happen to remember their account ID.

I think it's the only fair compromise. I think we should respect a right to delete. But I don't think that right to delete should be powerful enough to smother discussion. The person who started the communal thread should not have the power to silence everyone who participates.

It's a rigged game. It's like you're at a casino. It doesn't matter HOW you play the game, the casino wins. The way to beat them is not to engage with them at all. Established capital exploits the artist and the audience alike. You have to work outside the system of coercive control to have a meaningful effect that doesn't just get turned back against you. Giving the artist more incentive to stay in an abusive situation ultimately helps the platform more than the artist, as compared to spending the same money through a direct channel.

I'm so sorry, so deeply grieved to tell you, yes, it is. Please educate yourself. It's life and death for hundreds of millions of vulnerable individuals.

It's also horrific animal abuse. Actual atrocity.

Not with the same dollar!! You can only spend it one place. The more dollars you're spending at Spotify, the less of your money goes to the artists.

Getting the artists more money is ALL about not using Spotify.
