  • AI, crypto, just like .com, are very much very real, valuable technologies that have and will continue to stick around and be used until we destroy ourselves, or something even more advanced comes along.

    What was/is a grift, is all the stupid money and people around it that don't have a damn clue where the limits of the technologies actually lie, what kinds of real problems are solved and have been sold lies stop lies without doing their due diligence.

  • I don't do online gambling, so maybe I am missing an important detail here, but there's no recent development that would explain why online gambling would have an effect now, and not a year ago, or even 15 years ago.

  • I don't think you understand what being squeezed is like. There is no fighting back when you have no options.

  • Hell nah. I don't give a damn about your up votes, down votes, replies. Hell I don't even look at my inbox and I'll be damned if I will end up back in this thread.

    I'm just here for the occasional meme and maybe get a bit of news, and I'm all out of good news.

  • Is the objective to "reclaim control over your technology", or is it to be a single purpose device? I can think of a lot of single purpose devices loaded with subscriptions and telemetry, and just as many general purpose computing platforms without that crap that let you be in control.

  • Commuting to office (by car) daily is the real problem. Road trips by car are incredibly freeing and not miserable.

  • OP, you are in for a seriously rough time if you think containing micro plastics is as simple as removing lead from gasoline and paint.

  • Each lane/road provides a fixed capacity (supply) of vehicles. The induced demand caused by a surplus from a newly constructed road is the economic phenomenon of demand/supply curves which tend towards equilibrium. Same for the desire to build more roads when demand meets or exceeds capacity.

    This happens in all areas of transportation and human activity, btw, it is not unique to cars.

    The first issue is some wierd expectation that surplus (no traffic) should be the natural state (it isn't). The second issue, specific to cars, is that roads saturate very quickly and scale poorly, so the return to equilibrium (saturation) happens much faster than other forms of transportation.

  • Including the word "removal", I counted four negatives! Word salad.

  • It's hollow and thin walled. You'll be picking shards of glass out of your anus before that thing gets deep enough.

  • No ,no, the letter specifically singles out motor vehicles. Burning gas is the point. This letter has nothing to do with transporting people.

  • Assuming a constant rate of change of anything involving people over a period of ten years is straight up nonsense.

  • It's not just Bikinis. It's all swim wear, saunas in Europe, baths in Japan. It's just socially acceptable and expected in the right context, and that expectation plays a huge role in comfort. The context seems to flip a switch in people's brain.

  • People want news. It's a need as primitive as gossip. In fact, gossip is probably the answer to your question. But gossip is neither fast nor reliable, so people will inevitably invent news organizations to satisfy the need, as much as we have invented agriculture to satisfy our need to eat.

    Perhaps when you say "news organizations" you intend a much more narrow definition, like maybe a "privately owned news organization"? That's a dramatically different question though.

  • An AI message for dating? Have people just given up on living?

  • Hate to break it to you, but for the first time, the younger generation skewed Trump. In fact every demographic skewed Trump. This cancer is affecting all of society, not just a single demographic.

  • Congrats on your five and a half twins.

  • Believe it or not, authoritarian regimes are less stable than democracies.

  • You didn't mention how long you were together. General rule of thumb, it takes just as long for the feelings in a relationship to fade as it takes for them to grow.

    Also, generally speaking, if the breakup is sudden, unammicable, or leaving you confused, that's probably a sign that there was poor communication in the relationship. Relationships are built on communication, not feelings. This is a good time to evaluate how you can be a better communicator. Do not blame or wallow in the shortcomings of your ex, this will just stunt your growth as a person, and perpetuate how you are currently feeling.

    My advice, focus on you and your future. 23 is incredibly young. What you are going through and feeling is extremely common. You have lots of time to meet new people, but focus on yourself first.
