One night I had the weird headache out of nowhere. Still don’t know what it was or where it came from. No idea why, but I ended up on the couch just thinking “everything is bad, I’m bad, why even bother, I fucking suck at everything, etc.”

I’m pretty good at separating myself from my own thoughts, especially when things get out of hand, so I knew to just sit and let it blow over. This was very, very good because in that moment I caught a glimpse of where someone might be if they were thinking of commiting suicide. It was such a strong force of self-hate and hopelessness all I could really do was lie there and hope it would pass.

Had a normal day after that, but holy hell. There’s not a lot of logic to it, the best you can really do is be kind to people and pray they see the lighthouse in the storm.

Yea, because there are important differences. For one, “AI” versus a complex algorithm for figuring out some stuff is similar, but not the same. People asking generic LLMs to do stuff and getting 70-90% of a result is not a useful thing. People getting actively dumber because they won’t spend time thinking for themselves is not a useful thing. People believing billionaires who say that productivity will be increased and so we’ll be more free for other things are stupid as hell.

We aren’t really getting for all this “AI”. It’s like in the text above, the problem isn’t lasers but Death Stars. I think “AI” is stupid as all hell but you show me a purpose-built algorithm that can actually do its fucking job then sure, all good with me!

Except that it’s very obviously not the same idea as the post. Your great blue friend should practice basic media comprehension before butting into a conversation to talk about themselves.

Being incredibly close, genetically, probably helps a lot. Cancer is just ones own cells that turn into a parasitic mass BUT there’s entire dog STI that’s actually a thousands of years old boneless dog(the dog’s cancer cells) which was likely originally spread through a bunch of domesticated, inbred dogs.

So his immune system’s like “eh, close enough”.

The government is the union, at a base level, and then you go from there. If your government offers nothing then even a union will only bring you up so much. Both are good even without the other, but the government actually working for the people and making hard laws is the best option if you had to pick. It’s also much more difficult to do considering most people are dumb as hell, so unions help give them a more local opportunity to understand that working together is a good idea.

No, they’re correct. People need to be more respectful of others, especially when it comes to things with hard start times like D&D, a concert, etc.

BIG yikes. I hope they find themselves a deep, dark hole to crawl into and never come back out of.

No, they’re clearly Imperial.

“All your skills and memories” includes such hits as knowing when to get into Bitcoin, knowing what career would take off and know when to get out if need be. It would be going to back and meeting the right people at the right time. Practically speaking, you would have all the answers.

You got a lot o’ them big book-words for someone what ain’t quite gettin’ their grippers ‘round them com-plex ideers. This isn’t that complicated, you’re just embarrassed, maybe quit before you get even further behind.

“If you got turned back into a baby” is the original question and is very much open to interpretation, even to the point where it more closely means “turned into a baby” before it means “sent back to when you were a baby”.

Alsp I literally acknowledged that there are two questions and explained why I thought that my interpretation was more interesting. R e a d.

Again though, he cut programs that were in motion so as far as we know stuff could have been decently close and is gone now. Also important is the fact that he’s literally a guy who constantly talks and act like prescription drugs are evil and yet is using China having more of them as a good thing for them and a bad thing for his country.

Yes, it is more difficult, which makes it a more interesting question than “what if you had all the answers?”

Is he not directly responsible for defunding a lot of the research and programs that would have helped here? Weird that Captain All-Natural cares about having less drugs than China.

I feel like going back in time for it is kinda cheating. The real question is would you do it knowing what you know now but without knowledge of the future.

I’m busy right now, but yea if you told me I had to it’d be cool. New Game+ that shit.

Alternatively, with capitalism giving all the power to the richest: “The law is true because I’ll hurt you if you try to defend yourself and I have plenty of class traitors to help me.”

Land is their favourite asset because all they have to do own it and charge you for the privilege of being there.

Ones on roofs are easy, a panel can’t weigh more than a car so you lose a few parking spaces on the roof level and bob’s your uncle. The goal is to reduce car usage so it’s fine. And existing ones are too far away to provide electricity? What? They’re literally beside stores which consume power! Yea I don’t like that answer, it’s dumb as hell.

The pumping idea sounds cool, though, and I’m not against it, but dude I’m so tired of “what if we do nothing because we can’t understand the concept of having multiple solutions going at once?”

To be fair, Carney has generally tagged along with the US as his gut reaction. Also to be fair, it’s hilarious to even entertain the idea that PP wouldn’t be there sucking Trump off 24/7.

Life is stranger than fiction. We’ve all experienced moments in real life that would be considered bad, cheesy writing if we wrote them ourselves.

As far as “only effective over longer distances” is concerned, that’s just not a thing. Like, sure, I wouldn’t bring a hunting/sniper rifle to a close-quarters situation, and it would mean the overall setup would be pretty ineffective, but the weapon itself does not have an “effective minimum distance”.

Any time, and I get that. It’s scary out there, but fortunately we still have some power even when we don’t believe we do, and those “extreme” solutions we keep hearing about are mostly just “extremely different” to the ruling class’ “let us do whatever we want without consequences” plan that has simply been normalized.
