A cult is basically just a religion that is not large or old enough to force people to take it seriously. It just so happens that small, new religions are also extremely volatile and unstable and prone to extremely stupid decisions

I guess technically, but the LLM doesn’t have access to anything, so the only real consequence would be an inaccurate summary

#1 and 3, definitely, although 3 is usually not really the IDEs fault.

The others, either not really (#2, 5), who cares, (#4), or maybe occasionally but not really specific to IDEs (#6).

Cauliflower ear is pretty manly I guess

I didn’t even know there were user avatars. Most common apps don’t show them.

I don’t think I understand the question. People invented it?

It’s definitely very Tumblr, that’s for sure

Yeah, again, I’m not saying that’s not a thing, man. Just that’s not what carrot vs stick metaphor is about

While this is definitely a thing from cartoons, the carrot/stick thing is absolutely referring to hitting the donkey. The whole point is punishment vs reward…

Yes, way, way more. Go look at how big a quarry is, compared to a mountain, and realize that took years and years of work from equipment that probably costs more than that by itself

I think he means, is there any value to it? Bc otherwise the cost is colossal and nobody’s gonna level a mountain just to develop on the land

If your relationships involve a “gut wrenching feeling 24/7” you might have other problems

What do you mean “cling to the idea they can’t be reached?” A huge portion of political spending goes towards trying to increase turnout (of the people likely to vote for you).

That’s… More or less in agreement with what I said, though? The electoral college certainly doesn’t help matters, but the same principle still holds without it, the EC just adds a second hierarchical level of fptp

It’s not like the two party system is deliberately chosen or enshrined in law. The field naturally winnows down to two parties because that is basically guaranteed to outcompete every other possibility under a first-past-the-post voting system. You want to fix the two party system, you need to fix our voting system.

Girl, I can’t keep track of who the “theys” and “girls” are enough to even have any idea what you’re talking about

It’s also not a tower defense game, it’s a moba. There are towers and some defending of them, but you’re not placing and upgrading towers to stop enemies, you’re controlling one individual character from a large roster. The towers play a pretty minor role.

They do. Nobody reads them

I know this is the least important one on there, but I don’t get this thing lately where people talk about “staying hydrated” like it’s some big challenge they have to put effort towards. Like… get thirsty, drink water?

Asking a bunch of random Internet posters on Lemmy, who know nothing about property speculation, land management, investment in general, or especially your country, while providing very few specifics about your plan, is not going to yield useful advice.
