  • i understand that, but i highly recommend you not to rely on chatgpt for that. it is much easier to do so, but you are making it even harder for yourself in the future, by slowly training yourself to trust even less on yourself.

    you could set some time aside when you are not hungry and get a list of easy meals that you can make when you are in hungry mode

    but also, if you do it from time to time when you really need it, that is ok. just not always

    Ugh, that youtube thing is happening already!

  • surely that means that they will follow children privacy protection laws and not track information of anyone who they can't verify is an adult, right?

    right?

  • I figured this out during the pandemic

  • there is a spectrum of how much comfort are you willing to give up to help others (including your future self). some people are against to give up even slight comforts in order to make things better (like, people visceral reactions to some "meatless mondays" proposals. or people being unwilling to reduce on-street parking even when by any meaningful metric it improves the quality of life for everyone)

    Others are willing to give much more, but most people still have limits (for example, being willing to die for a cause is much rarer than people who are willing to go to a peaceful protest)

  • that is just a revolution, not a dictatorship, then.

    the difficulty with that, is when to give the power away. obviously you would need to keep it for long enough to make sure that the system will stay in place after you are no longer in power

  • I think that ultimately, the problem with authoritarian regimes and dictatorships is an efficiency vs resilience problem. Dictatorships are super efficient. There is no back and forth, no debate, no bureaucracy except that allowed to be. This can create an illusion of progress early on, as all those things that were eternally in the future will start to get tackled. The problem is that it is not a resilient system. It relies exclusively upon the dictator and their understanding of the world. This is not a problem in the areas of expertise or if the dictator is smart enough to understand their limits. But at some point, there will be a mismatch between what the dictator thinks is important, necessary, or true, and what really is. Be it ego, being surrounded by yes men, being detached from the general population or a minority group, or anything else, the dictator will make bad choices, and there is nothing in the system that can prevent that.

    A growing number of americans don't read newspapers. They get their news from online influencers. The right dominates the online ecosystem.

    Jump

  • Well, that is easier to do when their news dont need to follow reality, and their solutions don't need to work or make sense

  • god, nimbys are so fucking dishonest and stupid. bike lanes increase revenue and create a safer environment. nimbys want to have a worse business in a less safe street as long as they don't have to take 30 more seconds of unloading their deliveries

  • So Long to Tech's Dream Job: It’s the shut up and grind era, tech workers said, as Apple, Google, Meta and other giants age into large bureaucracies.

    Jump

  • i am in a similar position. i have started to give serious thought to the idea of moving back home (to a country with a much lower cost of living than the US), and live from savings while i figure out what i want to do the rest of my life.

  • "As a cyclist, you claim to care about the environment, yet you consume food. Checkmate libs!"

    Jump

  • we are already overproducing food and throwing it away, so even if there was logic in the idea, it would not actually require additional farming, manufacuring, transportation, etc

  • Avatar (the one with the blue aliens) is such a weird franchise

    Jump

  • Yeah, i remember going to see it mostly because of 3D (which probably helped a lot in becoming one of the most successful movies ever, thanks to the novelty and higher ticket price).

    But left so little impact that i can hardly remember anything about it and have no interest whatsoever in seeing the sequels.

    The theme park in animal kingdom was fine

  • What do you think is the largest number a human can actually grasp / truly comprehend?

    Jump

  • I don't think grasping and visualizing are the same. I am sure you can grasp the concept of 3. Like 3 cars waiting on a light, or 3 slices of pizza.

    If the limit was visualizing, the answer would be zero, since some folks can't visualize at all.

  • Trump threatens to prosecute Beyonce, Oprah and Kamala Harris in late-night rant

    Jump

  • Just your regular reminder that the President of the United States is deranged in the Epstein Files and trying to distract.

  • Trump Demands Washington Commanders Return To Original Name 'Immediately' - Newsweek

    Jump

  • i'll have to agree they need to return to their old name. Washington Football Team was great, they should return to that

  • Canada finally reveals the results of its universal basic income experiment

    Jump

  • The difference between now and the past is that our current world already produces enough of everything to be post-scarcity.

    We produce enough food for 10+ billion people, so anyone going hungry anywhere is a policy failure. We have technology and materials to give everyone shelter, so anyone being homeless is a policy failure. We produce so much disposable clothes and electronics devices and other stuff that it is literally thrown away unsold in the desert.

    There is absolutely no reason for people to have to toughen up, just to have access to basic human necessities.

  • Pledge of allegiance is woke propaganda

    Jump

  • the way i see it, is that a nation needs some unifying factor, and i much rather it be some positive ideals than the fact that people are just born nearby or have the same ethnicity. That being said, i can see how it can easily be used to drive up nationalism, so i am not fully sure that the way it is, being forced to kids, is the best way

  • Well OK then

    Jump

  • am i stupid? i don't get what the intent of the message is? what other interpretation is? (english is my second language, so i might be missing some colloquial term here?)

  • Democrats now openly attack Mamdani

    Jump

  • yeah, let's stop "cannibalizing each other's support" by attacking the nominee and giving support to others. very sound strategy, mr paterson.

    sheessh. can't he SEE that the democrats need new blood

  • Democrats now openly attack Mamdani

    Jump

  • "Democrats will be doing a disservice [...] if they don't come together and decide to support whichever candidate has the most support among them"...

    what do you think a primary election is? it is literally seeing who has the most support among democrats. so this guy is the one who is doing the disservice of not deciding to support Zohran
