What is an opposite version of a cult ?

Jump

  • A cult is basically just a religion that is not large or old enough to force people to take it seriously. It just so happens that small, new religions are also extremely volatile and unstable and prone to extremely stupid decisions

    • Should I be worried about "Prompt injection" attacks on my gmail?

    Jump

  • I guess technically, but the LLM doesn't have access to anything, so the only real consequence would be an inaccurate summary

    • Are IDEs really like this ?

    Jump

  • #1 and 3, definitely, although 3 is usually not really the IDEs fault.

    The others, either not really (#2, 5), who cares, (#4), or maybe occasionally but not really specific to IDEs (#6).

    • Peak masculinity

    Jump

  • Cauliflower ear is pretty manly I guess

    • Where does technology come from in Star Wars?

    Jump

  • I don't think I understand the question. People invented it?

    • The term carrot and stick doesn't sit well with me. If you hit a donkey with a stick then it's likely it won't trust you enough to accept a carrot later.

    Jump

  • Yeah, again, I'm not saying that's not a thing, man. Just that's not what carrot vs stick metaphor is about

    • The term carrot and stick doesn't sit well with me. If you hit a donkey with a stick then it's likely it won't trust you enough to accept a carrot later.

    Jump

  • While this is definitely a thing from cartoons, the carrot/stick thing is absolutely referring to hitting the donkey. The whole point is punishment vs reward...

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Yes, way, way more. Go look at how big a quarry is, compared to a mountain, and realize that took years and years of work from equipment that probably costs more than that by itself

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • I think he means, is there any value to it? Bc otherwise the cost is colossal and nobody's gonna level a mountain just to develop on the land

    • European-Americans need better leadership role models to show them that education and hard work — not violence, promiscuity, and criminality — are the right ways to get ahead.

    Jump

  • Is this supposed to be some kind of parody to make a point? Not a very good one

    • Being single

    Jump

  • If your relationships involve a "gut wrenching feeling 24/7" you might have other problems

    • 34% of the US population doesn't vote. Why do polticalitcians cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached?

    Jump

  • What do you mean "cling to the idea they can't be reached?" A huge portion of political spending goes towards trying to increase turnout (of the people likely to vote for you).

    • An LLM would probably run the USA better

    Jump

  • DOGE is basically a bunch of 25 year old know-nothings feeding budget spreadsheets and job descriptions to a chatbot and asking what to cut, so...

    • Why is a two-party system considered democratic?

    Jump

  • That's... More or less in agreement with what I said, though? The electoral college certainly doesn't help matters, but the same principle still holds without it, the EC just adds a second hierarchical level of fptp

    • Why is a two-party system considered democratic?

    Jump

  • It's not like the two party system is deliberately chosen or enshrined in law. The field naturally winnows down to two parties because that is basically guaranteed to outcompete every other possibility under a first-past-the-post voting system. You want to fix the two party system, you need to fix our voting system.

    • ELI5 How the WPA under Rosevelt now considered socialism? It employed millions of people and they built some of the most remarkable things. How come this is frowned upon in the US?

    Jump

  • Why would being a good thing make it not socialism?

    • Is it asshole behavior to hate someone for saying "Hi, how are you?"

    Jump

  • Girl, I can't keep track of who the "theys" and "girls" are enough to even have any idea what you're talking about

    • What would happen if ancient mythologies were privatized in the future in the case of intellectual property, so they would no longer be free to use?

    Jump

  • Well, they can't, because they're already in the public domain and nobody is around who can claim them as an original creation.

    If you want this to be some pure hypothetical where that doesn't matter, then... Sure, I guess? That's what intellectual property is.

    • How is Arcane the series based upon League of Legends, a tower defense game?

    Jump

  • It's also not a tower defense game, it's a moba. There are towers and some defending of them, but you're not placing and upgrading towers to stop enemies, you're controlling one individual character from a large roster. The towers play a pretty minor role.
