  • Good.

    And sure... People will obviously try to break this rule, and I'm sure some will succeed. But that's true of any rule. Rules don't prevent bad behavior, only deter it.

  • Do we need more users ?

  • I don't disagree that we need more positive and high quality hobby content. Sure.

    But personally I'm so sick of dudes complaining about "political shit and rage bait and virtue signaling", whatever half of that banal nonsense is even supposed to mean...

    In fact, I'd go as far to say that people who whine about everything being "political" is a bright fucking red flag to me. My immediate assumption upon reading that is "this person is a Trump supporter who voted for this exact shit to happen because they want it to happen, and they don't want to be confronted by the fact that other people don't." I know exactly what kind of people don't want to hear about "politics" anymore now that Trump is elected, trampling our institutions, and fucking everything up. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, right?

  • This may seem like a random non-sequitur to you, but I have found that professional therapy can be very helpful.

    I'm not saying that to be mean or insult you in any way. You're clearly an intelligent person with something to say.

    However I worry that there are logical gaps in what you're saying versus what your image is showing, especially in relation to OP. (OP is talking about the economics of AI, your comment references "code", and your image is showing non-human readable data without and context or means of interpreting.) Despite this, you seem to expect people to understand what you're saying.

    I won't deny the possibility that there is code hidden amongst the model data. All code is stored as data, afterall, and it is not always human-readable!

    But what is more concerning to me personally is that you seem to be exhibiting somewhat "disorganized thinking" in which you are structuring and expressing your thoughts in a way that is difficult to follow.

    It's possible that you don't see it this way, so you think everyone else is stupid or crazy. That's unlikely, but it's possible I guess.

    But I hope that you can also recognize the slim (but serious) possibility that you are experiencing some kind of condition that is getting in the way of your ability to communicate your complex thoughts clearly to others.

    If you feel like what you're saying makes perfect sense to you, but other people are consistently unable to understand it, you may be being affected by a subtle issue that is getting in the way of communication. And that is worth having checked out by professionals, in my opinion.

    Best of luck to you!

  • My wife drank herself to death the night of her 29th birthday, 2011. We'd been together for 10 years, and I had been trying to force her into getting help for her alcoholism for the previous 4. 2 months before she died, I told her she had to go back to her mom's place. I told her "I can't watch you destroy yourself any more."

    That's tragic man. Addiction is a slow-motion suicide and it's an awful thing for anyone to go through, or to watch a loved one to go through. Just tragic... In your case it was alcoholism that took a person who you loved away, but it could have been so many other things too beyond either of your control, and it could still haunt you.

    You can't blame yourself for what happened to your wife, how you felt after, or even how it still effects you today. The truth is that you had every reason to be sad, angry, depressed, lonely, and more. Who the fuck wouldn't feel like that, living through what you lived through?

    Her death destroyed my career in the Navy. I lost my deployable status on submarines because I needed antidepressants, I couldn't focus, my performance slipped even though I had landed a cushy shore rotation job, and a year after she died I decided not to reenlist.

    Again, I don't blame you. We live in a harsh world where you can lose someone who you love more than anything, changing your life forever, and people just expect you to come back into work and grind away at some bullshit?

    From then, I've failed at everything I've attempted, gradually becoming less and less able to leave the house. I've lost so many jobs because I'd wake up in the morning and just couldn't go anymore. The VA just tries to load me up with medications, even though I've been begging for trauma therapy for 12 years.

    You need professional help to deal with this heavy shit man. There's no shame in it. Figuring out how to come to terms and live with this is probably the most important thing you can do to improve your life. More important than work, more important than arbitrary social constructs like "success" or "failure".

    If the VA is failing to help you, well... You're not the first vet to have been failed by our government... It's not that they're bad people, but let's face it... if you relied on them to change your light bulb you'd spend the next 15 years sitting in the dark...

    Look up trauma therapists in your area, some of them will be able to help you with costs or adjust their pricing based on a sliding scale of what you can afford. On top of that, you might want to look into social workers in your area to see if anyone can just help you with things that you need help with.

    And try to get out of the house. This internet stuff is fine in small doses, but it'll drive probably anyone crazy if it's all you have. Even small things like going out for a walk around the block, going to the convenience store to buy a drink, and so on... Touching grass and even just making small talk with the people who you come across isn't gonna solve your trauma or anything, but it'll help you cope with the day to day. Try to get some kind of job going, maybe do something that you find rewarding or meaningful. Save up some cash and find a new hobby that you can get into that isn't too expensive that'll get you out of the house once a week. Hell, I'm an atheist, but if you need to join a religion to have an excuse to get yourself out there each week, then go for it.

    I dunno, man. In the end of the day, what you've been through is just tragic. But your life isn't over. I doubt your wife wanted her life to be over either, she just fell to addiction like many others. And though I don't know her, I imagine that she wouldn't want to think that she left you alone and suffering for the rest of your life. What would she say to you if she was here today? What would she want for you?

    You've had 15 years of hell, but that doesn't mean the next 15 years need to be hell too.

    Good luck, buddy. I'm rooting for you, bro.

  • If this guy was so traumatized by the idea of being run over he wouldn't be standing directly in front of a car.

    He was clearly standing next to the car when he shot Mrs. Good in the face, murdering her. He followed up calling her a "fucking bitch" which can only be considered an aggravating circumstance indicative of a potential hate crime.

    The government is protecting a murderer, and calling an innocent woman with no criminal history whatsoever a "terrorist".

  • The term "hate" can be misleading. When used in a hate crime law, the word "hate" does not mean rage, anger, or general dislike. In this context “hate” means bias against people or groups with specific characteristics that are defined by the law.

    At the federal level, hate crime laws include crimes committed on the basis of the victim’s perceived or actual race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or disability.

    Most state hate crime laws include crimes committed on the basis of race, color, and religion; many also include crimes committed on the basis of sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, and disability.

    Say it with me: ICE officer Jonathan Ross and his accomplices are guilty of at least murder and hate crimes, and possibly more.
