  • That’s not really…ugh, Americans! Stop this misinformation!

    Really, there’s not enough coffee listed, you need at least two more espressos in there to be anything close to accurate. And then depending on where you’re at, there could be a nap in there. Plus a 30 minute phone call to your Nonna and half a dozen other people complaining about the drama started with the previous call. Then going to Carrefour or whatever’s close to buy sparkling water, bread, and cheese for dinner because you already have a plastic jug of wine from your parent’s house at home.

    /s, which should be obvious to any in-shape carb enjoyer who has a lot to say about the Romani people…


  • This is exactly the line of thought I think people aren’t seeing as the gap. Y’all are too comfortable expecting the internet to be on 24/7. Or the power, for that matter.

    If Cloudflare shits the bed again, are your lights stuck on or off? Can you not turn up the heat? We’re in a period of history where things will bet worse, not better. The last thing I want is “error: can’t connect to internet” being why you can’t turn the things you can touch in your house on and off. I get it if you’ve managed to do the work to have it all locally hosted, but just as-is seems like a bet against one’s self.



  • There are bioaccumulative toxins, but nothing over the counter sold in a plastic tub by some guy in a tank top will get rid of them. And some, like lead, have symptoms that are not reversible. Lead poisoning is a lifelong condition. So a magical “detoxifying” shoe insole or smoothie additive isn’t going to do much. I think @[email protected] 's point remains that any toxins that stay in the body are either gone for good after a short time, or there to stay.



  • For anyone unsure: Jevon’s Paradox is that when there’s more of a resource to consume, humans will consume more resource rather than make the gains to use the resource better.

    Case in point: AI models could be written to be more efficient in token use (see DeepSeek), but instead AI companies just buy up all the GPUs and shove more compute in.

    For the expansive bloat - same goes for phones. Our phones are orders of magnitude better than what they were 10 years ago, and now it’s loaded with bloat because the manufacturer thinks “Well, there’s more computer and memory. Let’s shove more bloat in there!”
