50% of the post here are. Echo chambers rely on most users never reading the article.

Americans still actively use telephony services?

I just don't use the Phone and SMS apps. Haven't for years. It's old tech that's only used by bots and scammers.

Get with the times. Just block them. You're basically putting an ad blocker on.

Apparently most

In their defence, there is no defined point. There are people out there that are so anti-assumption that it can take them a while. They will eventually reach a point like, "Well if there were defined conditions, surely they have been met by now." Basically it must be so full-scale that there can be no room left for doubt.

Unfortunately, such input is typically too little too late; it's just agreeing with the obvious because it's already so obvious.

Same. I'll check out things around me like any normal person, but I rely on my hearing to tell my eyes to look for something specific.

I think too, some people have a very wild imagination. There's no second thoughts getting in a car, despite the chances of being seriously harmed in one making the chances of being attacked in public comparatively inconsequential. You are just extremely unlikely to ever meet one of the very few people that would initiate unprovoked public attack. But parents, crime shows, and movies tell us otherwise—it doesn't hurt to be cautious, anyway.

DV isn't gender-specific (loosely 25% male victims, 75% female, but obviously that's up and down on country)

Femicide is gender-specific with an estimated 0% male victims.

Rapping off a single piton is as insane as climbing 67km from a town without a PLB.

I don't know, and don't really want to know how much money i've got sunk into my acct, but it's a lot

Oh you can know. It's a viewable page within the menu. I'll leave it to you to search up on where.

Call your carrier to blacklist the IMEI. Done.

It has always worked this way, well before the smartphone era.

The only way to overcome is to find a country the phone works with and has carriers not part of the blacklisting networks. Doesn't make for a very practical resale market...

So, now that's out of the way, what control is Google actually trying to sneak in then?

It makes getting home feel all the more pleasant!

"Give me back my child!"

"Non."

LE BRRRRRRRRRRRTTT

Yeah, you could be right. My point is this scenario is historically common around the world, without external influence. It's almost always states/regions with lots of rich natural resources. There are some exceptions like Singapore, but the Alberta situation can be compared to groups like from within Texas or Western Australia. Lots of oil, minerals, etc. and wanting to seceed to benefit from it, rather than contribute to the State.

It's also common for those kooky people to be pro-mining or drilling and these people often have kooky ideas regarding political conflicts, the environment, and social welfare if there's a pathway to economically benefit from it.

Of course, it would be a geopolitical disaster for both the seceedee and their current nation, so no one ever listens. It's the premise behind "divide and conquer" afterall—regardless of whether internally voluntary or externally manipulated—so it won't work out well.

It happens to states that feel they are the ones providing a nation all the wealth but get an unbalanced return of benefits from the nation. So someone gets the idea that the state would thrive, economically, if they were able to spend their earnings on themselves, as though the nation is holding them back.

Applying common logic, though, most people don't acknowledge any of the pros for all of the cons. But there are some—imagine a nationalist mindset for their state/ region if you will—that think it's the right thing to do because the current setup is "unfair".

Yeah, I'm referring to them, not the image maker.

Osaka says hi.

Light debugging I actually use an LLM for. Yes, I know, I know. But when you know it's a syntax issue or something simple, but a quick skim through produces no results; AI be like, "Used a single quote instead of double quote on line 154, so it's indirectly using a string instead of calling a value. Also, there's a typo in the source name on line 93 because you spelled it like this everywhere else."

By design, LLMs do be good for syntax, whether a natural language or a digital one.

Nothing worse than going through line by line, only to catch the obvious mistake on the third "Am I losing my sanity?!" run through.

I wonder how many people stop to consider the validity of the statement anyway. Like, "Source?"

And I thought school detention now was bad...

Haha, that one, yes.

Nope.

their highly cited papers

Papers are cited.

their qualifications sighted

Qualifications are to be physically seen.

If there is doubt or the qualification can't be physically shown, it's a small mission to follow up with the institution they are alleged to come from—often a fee attached and time involved.
