Kind of wild that in the face of competition from Discord they double down on their paid plans. I would have thought they would eventually improve their free offerings to compete for market share, but clearly they have no interest in supporting hobby groups and just want to focus on enterprise

How does that make sense? How does putting a “Download PDF” button on their site with no restrictions make this a “me” problem?

They definitely weren’t monitoring the one at a time rule… I downloaded the file and now have it forever

I was looking for resources for a custom LLM and noticed they had a ton of copyrighted books and wondered to myself how the heck that was legal
I guess this answers that

I would imagine its a case of mutually assured destruction. Neither wants to repeal it because they know once they do, they open up Pandora’s box and Congress will be even more of a disaster than it currently is

Less nice, more realizing that would remove their ability to stop the Republicans when the political winds inevitability shift the other way

If I had to come up with a reason for it out of my ass, I’d say it’s because being rejected from a tribe would be a death sentence for most, so those that remembered their mistakes were less likely to repeat them and be expelled.

Yes, I use the key. For touch typing you should be using it whenever a letter pressed by your left hand needs capitalization.

Not on purpose, that I’m aware of. But I have experienced what you’re describing, I think

Sucking on my tongue. Apparently it’s genetic or passed down, but when I’m very content I will let my tongue go slack and then suck on it to create a light vacuum, causing it to fill my mouth a bit.
It is hard to describe, but to be clear I’m not sucking it into my throat. It actually moves against my teeth because of the vacuum

My Zoomer sister-in-law told me about it. It’s an app that will randomly prompt everyone to take a picture using both the front and back cameras and you have a limited amount of time to do it. The idea being that because it’s random you can’t really prepare anything beforehand so the content is more “real” and everyone can see what they all do day to day
I’m a fan of the reality part but not so much a fan of allowing your life to be timed by a social media company
