Im largely the same. Im generally a non believer and my sense of spirituality is not tied to any deities, but I don’t know that they’re not out there so in vwry particular cases I still practife some amount of worship. Mainly at funerals.

“my doctor told me to put boiling water in my eye! if im not gonna listen to him why am I paying him?”

Tha k you for being a considerate ally

Leave out the grandchildren bit, it’s unnecessary, condescending, and presumptive. Grandchildren shouldn’t be expected (unless a person has expressed a desire to have children) and is completely irrelevant for such a conversation.

As a trans person i think I’d sooner transition from beign British than my gender

it’s also interesting how increasingly absurd economics gets the further it dissociates from reality.

people are dying

BUT THE DOW

turns out the thursday goat service brings in Dianne from networking who remembers she needs to reboot a apecific device weekly, but its not documented anywhere. When Dianne doesn’t do this everyone freaks out and grabs another goat to sacririce which brings her back because who is she to say no to some good goat, and the cycle is continued and reinforced

i think the best example of this is music. most people have very good relative pitch perception, but mediocre absolute pitch perception. that shared relative pitch perception though will often be built based on ones own experiences and life. the shared perceptual relativity is both developed socially/culturally and innate based on how we process and abstract information, but that says nothing about our absolute perception of that information.

This is really funny to me and something i might use unironically if I had a truck, especially as it could also be practical

Yes but for all we know one person perceives the pickles in a way i would consider tart or sour while the other may perceive them as sweet. but relative to everyone’s individual perception this fits along the broader categories that people may experience. the relatuvity may be the same while the absolute nature is not

The relative perception of things may be similar while the absolute perception of something differs wildly for everyone

the logic might be the same, the perception may not

Daniel Biss says he didn’t take any AIPAC money but was also not willing to denounce aid to Israel on the same level as Kat did. I haven’t looked enough into whether or not he accepted shadow money from AIPAC, but its very telling that AIPAC celebrated his win over Kat even though their opebly funded candidate Laura Fine lost.

+1 to cockpit. My entire network is domain managed and cockpit makes managing everything so much easier

Tell me then why it took years for them to add a horizontal rule (literally just a horizontal line). I’m not kidding, it was only added in the last few weeks. How do I know? I commented on the github issue about like 3 or 4 years ago (the issue was already multiple years old) and have been getting notifications every time someone asks for it. And finally like a week or two ago I finally got the notification that it was added.

It was a small Catholic school in a big city and the student population was a majority middle-class white kids; that is to say that despite being the weird nerdy queer brown kid I was one of the best behaved, had some of the best grades, consistently output high quality work (even when bullshitting it), and participated in all my classes including religion despite being an outspoken atheist. Most of my teachers loved me and gave me a lot of leniency because even at my worst I was still leagues ahead typically. It also helped that my mom was very involved and made it known if i was causing trouble that they could call her and she’d sort it out quickly, so if i ever was actually out of line they knew it wouldn’t last long.

Who could’ve known that community resources actually benefitted the community? What a radical and crazy idea it would never work

In 8th grade i would spend a lot of class on my phone by hiding it in my desk. I was still one of the only people to regularly participate in class and was a straight A student until uni.

There was one instance where another srudent ratted me out for using my phone. He had tried to rat me out multiple times before but i usually stuck it in a book or folder. This time he called me out for doing so, so the teacher ended up taking my phone. School policy was that she would have to turn it over to the principal and my parents would have to pick it up. The teacher was a 60+ year old former nun and I had strict parents so i was not looking forward to it. When we went out to lunch the teacher called me over and told me to wait for a second. She handed me my phone back and told me not to get caught again.

She never checked my desk for my phone again and I continued to be one of the only people who raised my hand.

Ah it’s fine my boss told me that interacting with the AI is enough and that he doesnt care if I’m just asking it the weather. It’s a large publicly traded company and the AI push is coming from a lot higher up the change so sadly theres not much i could do to affect the situation.

It’s not cannibalism; billionaires don’t have enough empathy to be considered human
