Come back to what you’ve posted here in two years and read it again. You’re trusting people with data that you really shouldn’t. Perhaps that’s an acceptable risk to you but you should be sure that you can live without the privacy you think you have because that is a really bad bet.

I’m not going to touch the ethical and emotional minefield that is flirting with a chatbot but I will say that those conversations are definitely not private. That whole industry is based on stealing other people’s data. Do not do anything with an LLM that you can’t handle other people finding out about because there’s a very good chance that they will.

I’m not defending anything except my position that your assertion is incorrect. Brandishing a weapon with the intent to scare someone off is illegal in its own right in every jurisdiction I am familiar with in the US. You are giving bad advice and you need to educate yourself before you give what could be interpreted as legal advice.

The specifics of this case are irrelevant. You said multiple times that an armed person has no claim to self defense against an unarmed person and that is demonstrably and obviously untrue. The fact that you’re carrying a weapon doesn’t require you to tolerate unlimited violence by someone without a weapon. That’s crazy.

That’s easy to say when you’re not the one getting punched in the face repeatedly. You never know he far a violent person will go.

I’m not familiar with that bit of history but I’m guessing from your phrasing this was unsuccessful which reinforces my point a bit haha

Even aside from that, I see 12 guys in the picture. If we assume this is a stock photo and the actual number was 5 times higher that’s still only 60 people. If a foreign country or terrorist organization was invading you with 60 dudes in parachutes you could almost call the local shooting club and let them handle it. That’s hardly worth the label “invasion”.

I think I like it more than most but not just to hear words out loud. If you have a story about the weather impacting your day that’s much more interesting than just commenting on it in general.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 5 days ago:
I think it’s more about your expectation from interactions with strangers. I will tolerate a ton of weather talk from my wife but if the guy taking my order at 5 Guys tries the same thing it’s not going to be as well received.

Those gnomes are pretty shit at magic then. I’ve yet to encounter a stud finder that works more than 40% of the time which is just enough to keep you using it but not quite enough to be useful.

The kind of person in the position to convert a vehicle from one energy source to another is either competent enough to do any future work themselves, in which case they already have the necessary tools to do said work, or has enough money that the potential difficulty in maintaining the vehicle is not a concern.

You presented your opinion and then contrasted it with that of middle school children spending their parents money. If you don’t think that comes off as you saying anyone who disagrees with you has the perspective of a middle schooler then you aren’t a very good communicator.
- Comment on Over a hundred thousand Dune Awakening players got swallowed by the sandworm | Massively Overpowered 2 weeks ago:
Maybe some people just don’t like grinding for hours and hours to replace stuff they already acquired in a video game. I’m not sure why you have to present your opinion as if it’s the only valid option and everyone who disagrees is an immature child.
- Comment on ‘My Property Tax Went From $15K to a Life-Altering $91K a Year’ 2 weeks ago:
Inflated home values are a huge part of the problem. That’s a large part of the point I’m making. At face value it seems fine to say “they have a $4 million home, they can afford the property taxes” but if you apply the same rate to the homes that average people have to buy you’re going to end up in a shitty spot. If taxing the rich is the goal we shouldn’t be talking about property taxes on single family homes unless it’s specifically related to second and third homes.
- Comment on ‘My Property Tax Went From $15K to a Life-Altering $91K a Year’ 2 weeks ago:
If it costs $90k for a $4 million home then a $1 million home would be taxed at $22.5k. That’s still half a years salary at median wages for an average priced home in many markets. Don’t let your hatred for rich people lead you to advocating for shitty policies.
- Comment on ‘My Property Tax Went From $15K to a Life-Altering $91K a Year’ 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think it matters what the house looks like. That’s a ridiculous amount for any single home. I understand the desire to tax the rich but there are better ways to accomplish that than jacking up property taxes for everyone, especially when inflationary housing costs are a simultaneous concern.
- Comment on ‘My Property Tax Went From $15K to a Life-Altering $91K a Year’ 2 weeks ago:
I mean, bullshit strategies and apparent entitled attitude aside, she does have a point. $90k is an absurd property tax rate for a single family home.

Well statistically about 30% of people worldwide don’t mind fascism so that’s hundreds of millions of people too. I’m not sure I’d be willing to say a lack of loving relationships is the primary cause of that but I doubt solving that problem would hurt.
