Elon Musk goes low against Zuckerberg as Twitter-Threads spat intensifies

  • Right, because the US immediately post-WW2 was an incredibly stagnant society with no visible benefits to the middle class.

    • These cities are ending fares on transit. Here's why

    Jump

  • They do that regardless of whether there are fares. In my neck of the woods, the suburbanites have fought like hell against installing light rail to connect downtown with the greater metro area because they're worried about the "crime train". Who cares if it would improve commuting for the majority of the population?

  • Appreciate the perspective. Maybe it's just not for me. But I may also give it another shot at some point since I'm not inclined to spend a lot of money on games these days and that one's already in my Steam library.

    • Sarah Silverman and other authors are suing OpenAI and Meta for copyright infringement, alleging that they're training their LLMs on books via Library Genesis and Z-Library

  • They made a musical out of it so I'm sure it sold just fine. The pointless disparaging based on no facts isn't very useful to this topic.

  • That is such an awful experience. I also have a dog with a pretty strong prey drive. Every once in a while a neighbor's cat will crawl along the top of our fence and he goes nuts. If he ever caught the cat, I'm sure it would be the end of it. I would feel so guilty because the cat doesn't deserve that, but what else can I do? I have a strong fence around my yard and my dog is never off leash anywhere else. We've trained him well enough that he's totally chill with our own indoor cat, but outside cats are a completely different story.

    Letting your pet roam around wouldn't be acceptable if it were a dog, why is a cat okay?

  • I may explore it again at some point. Always good to have an old game I already own available rather than having to pay for something brand new.

    • Beeple, how do you avoid burnout?

    Jump
    • Take time off (PTO, sick days, etc.); you need to plan time off and also recognize when your body/brain just need a break for a day
    • Recognize your limits; it's okay to say that you can't take on additional tasks
    • Have mentally stimulating and mentally relaxing hobbies; zoning out and watching TV for a bit is good, but you also need non-burnout things to do that make your brain work a bit
    • Exercise; physical activity is so incredibly important for health and happiness, it doesn't have to be going to the gym, but you need to be doing something active regularly

    Some of these things are easier if you're lucky enough to have the right job. Don't be afraid to change the main contributor to burnout by seeking out a new job that works better for you.

  • I could never get into Bioshock for some reason. I started playing it twice, but just never felt super engaged or intrigued. Which seems really weird to me because I love a compelling story and that game has a reputation for being a great story. Maybe I just haven't been in the right mood and need to give it another shot.
