  • No worries, happens to me too!

    As an aside, at least for me, that first thought that pops into my head when I am trying to understand or interpret something, can be so silly and strange and outside the box, I will legitimately laugh at myself sometimes because of it.

    And if it makes you feel better, my first thought reading it was actual sailing too, but only for a moment as I added more context to it. Not sure why I would think of real sailing considering where we are posting but something in the way it was written lends to it.

  • The specific case here was the professor had a financial stake in new books being sold.

    I do agree updated editions with new information could be important, but again when theres a financial incentive to sell new books, the obvious lean will be towards making new versions even if there is no new information.

    Since the books can be required, they should be required to show proof they have substantially added to their edition or else relegate it to a minor revision (maybe adding sub-editions like 1.0, 1.1, 1.2; where you only need the first number to be current). Right now its a whole lot of, "Trust us you need this book and the only pre-owned versions are out of date".

    As a side thought, this is the kind of thing that makes me wonder if they use the book costs to weed out those that will not allow themselves to be abused to that degree. This would leave only those who would conform to their leader/manager/teacher and are less likely to try to change the system.

  • No judgment, I think its interesting the little high-stakes decisions we make like this though.

    "Oh no which spelling is it? Is there time to search it up? Oh no my train of thought is fading! Send send send!"

  • Why would you think there isnt data on Tesla crashes? Are they hiding their broken cars from bystanders and police or something now?

  • You realize it can be true that the driver is at fault when they crash and that the crash was more likely to happen because you have Elon contradicting his own marketing team constantly and confusing people.

    He literally would take reporters in his car and take his hands off the wheel. He just fundamentally doesn't care about safety now. Probably doesn't about safety later, just saw a way to make some money.

  • Is 200ish crashes and 6 deaths per year too many?

    I know its an absolute number but we are asking if its worth sacrificing people for the potential of safer driving later.

    Can you explain why you are so confident that this will all be worth it in the end?

  • If you were to strictly take that rule seriously, you should not allow FSD to drive at all, as at any speed its more dangerous than the person driving it (given an average driver who's not intoxicated).

  • A Tesla drover might get the impression that the cars "opinion" is better than their own, which could cause them to hesitate before intervening or to allow the car to drive in a way they are uncomfortable with.

    The misinformation about the car reaches the level of negligence because even smart people are being duped by this.

    Honestly I think some people just dont believe someone could lie so publicly and loudly and often, that it must be something else besides a grift.

  • Bringing up gamers telling each other to kill themselves (sometimes genuinely, although they wouldn't admit they were actually that angry) is not the gotcha you think it is.

    Why dont you engage with what the person you are replying to is actually saying instead of grasping at straws.

  • Whatever mental or physical effects they are experiencing that they feel they need to alleviate. I also allowed for the idea that they falsely believe they have a mental illness.

    Simply though, can you clarify your position on what is really happening and what people should be doing (or not doing)?

  • Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says

    Jump

  • I think this is a case where people might actually prefer the kiosks over the cashiers, since like you said, the kiosk doesn't vet your order wrong.

    There can be multiple reasons to do things, and they can definitely add on new ideas on top 9f old ones when they realize an avenue to make more money.

    I'm not even saying noone should use these apps, just be aware of what the cost actually is.

    I hope people in general figure out this whole "free" stuff scam soon. Drug dealers have been giving out "testers" for hundreds of years but I guess people just assume they aren't part of the "easy to deceive" crowd.

  • In your opinion, is someone going through a transition considered them putting themselves through a mental illness by choice?

    If you would say these people already have a mental illness, and are just choosing the wrong solution for it, what do you mean by "mental illness should not be condoned?" How would someone go about solving their problem?

  • I'm surprised to see all the replies about the McDonalds app and how its actually a great deal.

    Most companies are doing this now, and giving free food regularly as an incentive to keep using it.

    Why would these companies spend money to keep us using the app, and keep it installed?

    The truth is, they make far more off selling your data then they spend giving away food periodically. Look at the permissions the app needs under the guise of "making it easy to tell when you are near a McDonalds so we can start cooking your food!".

    Lemmy is supposed to be better about privacy and such than this.

  • Neuralink's first in-human brain implant has experienced a problem, company says

  • This is only logical if Neuralink is the only company doing this, but they are not.

    Even the cofounder of Neuralink split off to make his own version of the company that puts safety first, and is working on a noninvasive (meaning doesn't damage the brain by design) version of the same technology.

  • Good to know, thank you for sharing!

    Closest I ever got to construction work like that was working for about a year as a residential painter, and sometimes would work alongside other contractors.

    I really need to make woodworking/carpentry my next thing to learn about, plenty of places in my house could use the work.
