- Comment on Imagine re reading your own written love note to your girlfriend just to make sure it doesn’t feel like chatgpt wrote it. 1 day ago:
The trick is to reread it and to let go of the fact you wrote it. Then edit what doesn’t feel natural/conversational.
- Comment on Considering self hosting my own git repositories. What are some options? 2 days ago:
While I agree, out of the box the configs ARE NOT for home lab use.

Why does this thread smell like burnt toast?
- Comment on Society is starting to appropriately accommodate neurodivergence, yet stupid/idiot/crazy/lazy etc. stay in the vocabulary. 1 week ago:
There is genuinely a prevailing theory which basically asserts that the genes that make us neurodivergence are uniquely human, that neurodivergence doesn’t exist in other species, etc.
Sci show did a little video on it the other day. Better info here than what I know, undoubtedly. Sci show is well vetted content. Im some guy laying in his bed avoiding the start of his day.
- Comment on It's kind of funny how we mocked old people for years over mispronouncing "meme" and as soon as they got it right, we came up with "Pepe" 1 week ago:
Yeah the phrasing of this shower thought reads very naive to the point I am not even sure what they mean.
Like even further, the last name Pepe has been quite famous in europe for fucking centuries.
- Comment on You can bluntly comment on someone being fat or short in China and it's chill, but people get offended the moment you imply they're old... 1 week ago:
Correction: stereotypes are based on “kernels of truth” which may or may not be observable real events. These kernels of truth can come from fictitious or non fictitious sources.

I know a guy who was holding onto basically every variation of [state][marijuana reference].[tld] back in like 2015. Guarantee he made bank on that investment.
- Comment on If there is a doctor that only saves killers, and a killer only kills other killers, I wonder who would save/kill more people? 2 weeks ago:
Depends on how methodical the killer is.
If they get caught the doctor wins, basically full stop.

Just gotta convince all these boys they can’t get girlfriends in their cohort because rich billionaires are too busy buying and trading and discarding them like pokemon cards.

Comedian Doug Stanhope runs a celebrity death prediction betting pool.
He’s got lawyers, so I’m sure it’s all above board.

Traefik’s configs are a little less cumbersome if you’re managing a lot of services.
- Comment on Movies characters always make it through the craziest plot and somehow not get forever traumatized by it. I wish I could be like that, but instead I stuggle to even make/keep therapy appointments. 3 weeks ago:
Bruh only in episodic shows.
Any good movie, or tv show that moves through time…?
Breaking bad? Walt is pretty traumatized by his cancer diagnosis. Skylar is pretty traumatized by Walt’s shit.
Ozark? I mean holy shit. His son has a fake identity and is laundering money writing essays for peers in high school. That’s a fucking coping and modeling masterclass. Charlotte starts drinking and smoking.
Yeah maybe like in Friends or Everybody loves Raymond they don’t get traumatized but those are just sitcoms.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Off to a pretty rough start I’d say.
- Comment on Sometimes I wonder if the "Quantum Immortality" thought experiment is actually real... considering how many times I could've died. 3 weeks ago:
Well yeah but there are realities in which that ruined the emotionally and they turned to drugs and alcohol and didn’t become the best versions of themselves but there’s other versions where they went on to develop a genetic treatment that helps humans not choke on things like Mac and cheese, winning nobel prizes and changing the world!

Our HR person is an Al and every new hire thinks they’re an AI.
- Comment on A lot of the laid-off staff from the Washington Post should start a news cooperative. Seriously! 5 weeks ago:
One of their former content creators, Dave Jorgenson, was making great shorts and getting tik tok feeds and Instagram/yt/etc
He left to pursue his own content with the audience he’d gained through wapo.
They should band together, he has a solid reach on his personal accounts already.

- Comment on There are people out there who could utterly smash world records but no-one will never know as they haven't taken up that sport. 1 month ago:
In taking your wife’s side.
Competition squeezes blood from a stone. There are very few world records that were set without intention.
To your side, you could argue that I am making your point. Perhaps some folks haven’t been thrust up to the plate to take a swing, and this haven’t been tempered in competition. Also, it’s possible that knowing what the records are imposes psychological limitations. For example, Ewa Kawakami, at 9 years old, did three back to back 900s in xgames skateboarding vert recently. Tony hawk asked him how long after his first 720 did he land a 900. He said “the next day.”
I am still going with competition being requisite for peak form. There are exceptions, probably for stuff like Worlds Strongest Man, but something like sprinting, deadlifts, marathon, fastest playthrough of flight of the bumblebee, etc, all take dedication and competition to rise to the top

The world uses the USD as a global financial standard.
If it tanks your global assets do too.
I don’t think you understand how investments work.
- Comment on Believing you will retire before you die now requires the same faith as believing in heaven 1 month ago:
Fun fact: you’re not in control.
You can do everything right and oopsie the USD tanks. Hyper inflation. Womp womp.
Just don’t put it on yourself with regard to it going tits up.
- Comment on YSK that a general strike is one of the most effective ways to push for change. There is a general strike in the works across the US for this Friday. 1 month ago:

My first job was at a rather large shopping mall.
Closing up a big box store during a blizzard. Huuuuge parking lots. Plows.
Like 4-8" on the ground. Lamp surrounded by and unholy amount of plowed powder.
Just flooring it, cutting the wheel, spinning, spinning, and softly plonking into a big giant snowbank.
Being 17 wasn’t that bad.
- Comment on Going to bed is just setting your body and brain down in a safe place, so you can use them later. 1 month ago:
Just?
Is your your brain setting your body down to bed? Your bed setting your body down to sleep? Do you have free will, or are we little automatons in a closed, predictable system?
Why does resting my brain take my brain to another world without my body?
…just… 🙄
