Invaluable input

Explain how this amount of electricity use could ever be “ethically sourced”. That’s not even much of a thing for meat, which at least provides nutrients. AI slop is everywhere and most of it is not helping anyone with anything.

Thanks for actually reading what I wrote. Many people read a little and make up the rest or make up something to replace what was written. I mean yeah, he deserves way more than 20% of the blame for pretending like he wanted to learn, however my manager bears a lot of blame for the situation overall because he should have reprimanded him then fired him after a couple months if he didn’t improve. Instead, my teammates and I spent hours and hours ripping this guy’s PRs to shreds and trying to teach him shit and it never went anywhere. I remember one PR had over 90 comments on it! He routinely broke the build, usually in the same ways as before. I spent so much time pointing out the same mistakes over and over.

If he’d been fired, that timesuck would’ve been minimized and actually there’s some small possibility he would’ve gotten better if he thought he couldn’t get away with coasting like he did. But since his incompetence went uncontested for two years by management, he wasted tons of everyone’s time. If it were up to me he would’ve been gone before three months.

Fwiw, I feel this way with my girlfriend a lot. It’s not that she is entirely unavailable, but she does avoid being vulnerable very often. I feel like I’m the emotional one who will be completely honest and emotional and she will clam up

Even if AI were the miracle people like you suggest, you’re still destroying the environment. But also it’s not miraculous. Which you conflictingly say is and is not the case…

I didn’t say I feel shamed. I am saying it seems intended to shame, the target being a group of people you just named. Shame isn’t the best motivator, particularly when it’s dismissive of people who have considered facts and tried making some improvement. I personally don’t care enough about where my meat comes from so if I did what these people getting shamed were doing, it would be an improvement just like if they reduced their intake like I have, it would be an improvement for them. My improvement probably matters more than theirs but I’m not trying to shit on theirs.

FUCK

Yes! So many details in life matter to me but that one doesn’t and I’ve never understood why it would.

I have been eating a lot less meat than I used to and far less than all meat eating people I know, and I find it a bit shaming. It seems pretty dismissive of people who are trying, potentially misguidedly maybe, but trying to do something better and it’s getting disregarded as no different than any other choice. The implication is that unless you’re vegan, any concern you have is irrelevant because you’re super selfish and like the taste of flesh. But in reality it’s an unproductive thought process and it’s insanely reductive.

Wow. That is all genuinely cool to know. Thanks for writing it up! I had forgotten about excitebike having the save option that didn’t work until you mentioned it but now it makes sense! I do remember the bottom port also!

I got rid of all of mine so far except my current one (switch 1) and have never regretted it. They take up lots of space and you cannot take the memories from me regardless. Emulation works great and I have a couple original NES and SNES controllers wired to work via USB.

Nintendo is selling the original Super Mario Bros for $70? Crazy.

Famicom to NES adapter.

Wait, all these years I assumed the famicom and NES just differed in branding…and that’s not the case? The games literally weren’t interchangeable?

My brother sold his n64 and games and a sega Saturn with many games our friend worked hard to pirate, all for $40. His excuse? “I needed weed.”

I told him I would’ve easily given him $90 for all that. This was in like 2005.

I haven’t heard of Air VPN. They been around long?

If you like fascism and crypto

“he’s different” is not praise and it damn sure isn’t “singing” it. And comparing this to the trump situation is just braindead. They literally say he’s sent from God.

That’s fair. Sorry 🥺

You’re not wrong but I think Fox news calling the race for Bush emboldened some others to do it, and that swayed public opinion, which matters in theory at least.

Gotcha. I made the mistake of signing up for years on a meh VPN because it was cheap. Then after some issues I started a trial of Nord. It was better so I wish hadn’t subscribed to the other one for so long, since I probably wasted at least $100 on that fiasco.
