Most times my judgment of dishonesty based on dogwhistles is accurate. This isn't the bogeyman, it's the norm for conversation, you're the exception.

If someone says a slur to me, sure they might mean the best, but 95% of the time a slur means they're being a dick. So I'm gonna tell good-meaning people to stop using that slur, or they're gonna get grouped in with the 95% by someone at some point.

(Not saying that "female" is a slur, but 95% of the time someone uses it they way you did they've got some misogyny)

I know by your comment history you probably didn't mean it this way, but when most people hear someone referring to "females" they think they're bring deliberately dehumanized like the kind of person who follows Andrew Tate would do.

I'd be careful to say what it can do for your mental health. I tried to make it work for me, but it always made me feel worse because it gave my mind time to ruminate on bad memories and feelings. I would've stopped doing that to myself sooner had I not heard that exercise = good feelings without caveats.

I've always wondered how to disambiguate multiplication and addition of percentages. I guess that's what percentage points are for?

Source? I doubt they could do that so quickly, plus I haven't heard of it.

Don't buy something meant to be used and insist you must make a profit for not using it. Rent it out at least.

This world also usually requires you physically reach your place of work, which is typically inside cities. Long commutes cost lots of money and waste a large chunk of your life. And hey, if those cheap houses were available in cities, people would buy them, but they're not. You can't blame buyers for a supply shortage.

I think you fundamentally don't understand the issue. The issue is land, not the houses built on top of them. Land is limited, and the investors scalp the land first and foremost. There's usually enough land to house people well, but scalpers prefer scarcity so they can profit. Also, a lot of land is used very stupidly, just look at American-style suburbs.

Rent goes up too as property prices go up, because they know they can get away with it. And those are basically your 2 options unless you're lucky enough to know people willing to house you for free (buy then they're still struggling with prices).

I'm lucky enough that I have the option to fall back on my parents right now, but I need to leave Florida for safety reasons and wherever I go I will not know anybody and hence not get that 3rd option.

You can write limits to and then poll files in /proc/pressure/ to be notified of resource pressure. Systemd will also set an environment variable for similar files for your cgroup.

That sounds like a really obtuse way of saying you don't have a primary partner.

I believe zsh catches this and makes you confirm.

Well, that or one of my plugins, I'm not sure.

Hope is what kept me alive long enough to finally fix my life.

I think this is from a survey, so keep in mind that its people reading and answering questions. Some number of people always interpret it a different way or misread.

This is an interesting look into your mind. Do you really think they'll be the same? Trump will accelerate hit since he doesn't even pretend to care, is that the same? He'll also attack more minorities domestically, killing many more people, is that the same?

I guess in a black and white worldview those are basically the same, but 'cmon, we can have some nuance here.

"This follows the French gambit archetype, a story that's been in our culture for hundreds of generations, where women are depicted as subjects who assert their need for fortification from external threats... and that's why women should be subservient to men."

Fake quote, but it does sound like the kind of thing he'd say. Unfortunately, he's pretty bad at making his reasoning sound, and he likes to cite stories as if they imply anything about what anyone should do.

Don't worry, they're also hostile to humans under the age of 70

That's what I get for guessing what 😔

"Incorrect! You have 2 more guesses for which search engine I used."

If we were living in the 1930s they'd be the same people complaining we're being unfair to Hitler and we need to hear his perspective too.

Hell, he used the same political strategy as modern day fascist politicians: simply lying. "I'm gonna make everything better! How? Don't worry about that, just trust me and also let me reassert Germany's national pride!" I'm reminded of Trump's ACA "plan" (that he doesn't have one).

And we just let them say that, unchallenged! Maybe someone asks how they'll do it, but viewers just hear a strong man telling a story of future prosperity and ignore any small details a journalist might counter with. In the name of "balance", we let them spread their info hazards and pretend silly things like facts will let people come to the right conclusion.

I believe the old technique was gradient ascent starting with a random image and optimizing for the classifier's dogginess score, but now we train image denoisers then give them pure noise and tell them it's a noisy image of a dog. Basically, we lie to models to make them make stuff for us, and we've gotten better at what lying scheme we use.
