  A lot of people in here saying don’t do it because you might change your mind. They never seem to apply that logic the other direction. There’s lots of parents out there that had kids and only then realized they didn’t want the whole deal. And worse for them, society has driven a nauseating culture of parental worship and idolatry. It makes it impossible to come to grips with that realization. Parents are supposed to unconditionally love and champion their child and constantly profess how thankful they are and how gratifying the whole endeavor is. And that’s just with a “normal” child. If you have a kid with a disability or some kind of handicap that makes parenting exponentially harder you still need to profess your thankfulness! You aren’t allowed to not want to be a parent then. That ship has sailed. Anything less than abject subjugation to the identity of being a parent is condemned.

  This is probably an area that could massively benefit from AI, but won’t because the oligarchs won’t let it. AI would be great for auditing things like taxes and other filings. But that enigma is where a lot of oligarchs flourish. With a properly implemented AI audit, someone like trump never rises because his fraud would have been detected much sooner and could have been at least slowed if not fully halted. Oligarchs will understand this and make sure it doesn’t negatively impact them.

  No no. Abrego Garcia clearly had “MS-13” tattooed on his knuckles. That was no photoshop.

  This. Drill holes in the bottom of the outside ring and top of the inside ring. Though I’d recommend a much smaller gap if possible. If not possible, adding rock in such a way as to act as baffling would be good too. Metal louvers or ducting might work. The key is to get the air to heat up between the rings so when it exits the inner ring it burns quick and more completely.

  I gotta ask, what’s the situation with the senate? It would seem like a colossal lack of communication if the house bans it but the senate doesn’t. Or if the senate already banned it, why the house didn’t then? Didn’t they be relatively on the same page?

  Pretty sure they can tell the method used when disengaging fsd/ap. So they would know if it was manually turned off or if the system lost enough info and shut it down. They should be able to tell within a few seconds if accuracy the order of events. I can’t imagine a scenario that wouldn’t be blatantly obvious where the tesla was able to determine an accident was imminent and shut off fsd/ap wroth enough time to “blame it on the driver”. What might be possible is that the logs show fsd shut off like a millisecond before impact/event and then someone merely reported that fsd was not engaged at the time of the accident. Technically true and tesla lawyers might fight like hell to maintain that theory, but if an independent source is able to review the logs, I don’t see that being a possibility.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Odds of rolling a 7 with a weighted die⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s if it’s perfectly weighted. If it’s weighted to roll a 6, it might not always land on 6. This would lower the chance of rolling a 7 depending on what the overall probability profile is on the weighted die.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit will help advertisers turn ‘positive’ posts into ads⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I specifically look for negative reviews before buying something. I haven’t really put numbers to a ratio of good to bad where I feel reassured about buying something but I’m sure it’s there. If your product has 5000 reviews with no bad ones, something is fucked up. If the majority of the reviews are “the delivery guy spiked the package on my porch and it was broke I’D GIVE ZERO STARS IF I COULD” then that’s a little better. Someone somewhere is going to have a legit grievance. I want to know what that is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From my example, the part where they claim to have not made the argument is what I’d consider gaslighting. My understanding of gaslighting is any attempt to make someone question reality. So the reality is they definitely said one thing. When that goes wrong, they claim to have never said it. It’s a tool of someone who manipulates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Except literally not the echo chamber. The intent is to get the message to those not yet brainwashed so they don’t end up in an echo chamber. You can still directly and genuinely rebut their dumbassery. That’s not “bad faith”. The fact that I know the idiot won’t be swayed by the truth, doesn’t change the fact it’s the truth. Addressing idiotic points explicitly is not bad faith.

  Then they say they trust parents to make decisions on vaccines when what they mean is they are anti-vax.

  Online debate can help in niche situations. It’s not about convincing the person toy are directly opposing. It’s about getting the counter arguments in a bigger forum so less brainwashed people might be able to avoid getting brainwashed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Gaslighting could take the form of saying “my political team would never do [the thing].” Their political team subsequently does [the thing]. Then claiming they never said the original statement. Sometimes they’re even so fucking stupid as to leave that comment visible so you can just screenshot it and ask “this you?”

  … ask me how I know.

  when the general populace voted for an continue to support this

  Did they though? Only 63.4% of voting eligible citizens voted in '24. And of those only 49.8% voted for trump. He has never won a majority of the popular vote. Ever. It’s due to the electoral college and the cap on representatives in the house. This gives a significant advantage to lower population states that typically lean republican. Those rules seemed to make sense before we could reasonably collect, count results, and communicate that info in a day. Those rules no longer make sense but as it benefits the republicans they will hold that hill until they die. This country would be shaped very differently if we used the popular vote.

  To physically lose weight boils down to simple arithmetic. Calories in minus calories out. If that number is positive, you’ll gain weight. If it’s negative you’ll lose weight. Calories out mainly being your exercise. If that is difficult, you need to reduce calories in. It really is that simple.

  The problem comes with aspects of health that aren’t physical. You clearly touched on a number of issues that drove you to this spiral. You need to make sure your mental health is in check. Address the mental health issues while you tackle the physical issues.
