Also if you try to spend the night in a station in America a guy with a gun will kindly see you back into the cold
- Comment on The Gang Solves Climate Change 5 days ago:
EVs will not solve climate change. Only a low-enenrgy use scenario is sustainable. We have so much more to do than just drive a different kind of car and people are not organizing this sort of effort enough.

That’s crazy. I’m gonna have to find a self-hosted paywall hopper. 🙄

It…what??
- Comment on US state laws push age checks into the operating system 2 weeks ago:
I mean at least the cars thing is pretty legitimately true. Not that you don’t have a broader point.

Cool ❤

I’ve gone to write something almost exactly like this several times and never quite finished. I like how this is set up. It seems like one thing that could be improved is parameterizing the configs a bit so that e.g. matching a 200 status gives a standard label that doesn’t need added to every job

They don’t claim it on their taxes, they claim it in marketing

Age verification is identity verification.

In double-blind studies, the test administrators are made unaware which sample is real vs. placebo

- Comment on Is ironing clothes significantly less common now? 1 month ago:
I think it has to do with the materials clothes are made out of typically being more wrinkle resistant these days. No one ever liked ironing so as people were developing new textiles they had an eye towards that.
- Comment on Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows? 1 month ago:
Actually this is pretty good evidence they haven’t started doing that yet. There would be leaks.
- Comment on Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows? 1 month ago:
I’m not sure that your second point is still a constant, though this is just an opinion and I’m open to discussion on this. They seem to have solved the problem of people not being up to mass killings, through desensitization through social media (I’m thinking of telegram groups specifically). There have been a lot of cases shown recently of people taking outright glee in their and others’ grotesque murders, en masse.
- Comment on This Autonomous Snow Blower Shovels on its Own, Recharges Itself, and Keeps Going 1 month ago:
I’m also thinking like…snow-blowers are kinda dangerous. How does it know it’s not about to chew through your limb or pet? Does it just charge through whatever? If it doesn’t do that, then does it get stuck randomly thinking it’s trying to keep you safe but actually there’s just snow in its way.

- Comment on Are there any women here who felt they didn't deserve to be called women? 1 month ago:
Pretty sure the second half of what I said covers that and again my advice is to ask a professional who is supportive of and experienced in helping people deal with these sorts of thoughts
- Comment on Correlation equals causation 1 month ago:
Yeah but like the thing that causes addiction is poverty (or some other unmet needs or trauma) so it doesn’t really matter.
- Comment on Are there any women here who felt they didn't deserve to be called women? 1 month ago:
I’m just gonna come out and say what other people seem to be dancing around. These are things that a trans man would say. Not saying that’s necessarily the case for you but like it’s probably worth trying to find someone affirming and professional to discuss dysphoria with.

- Comment on First-In-Human Trial Of CRISPR Gene-Editing Therapy Safely Lowered Cholesterol, Triglycerides 2 months ago:
There are a lot more problems in trying to create the infrastructure to enforce sanctioned uses of any readily accessible technology than there is in the use of said tool. The people who want to do the most harm inevitability wind up in the oversight position, while society tends to create enforcement mechanisms at a social, interpersonal level organically already.
- Comment on Where's my JUUL? 2 months ago:
Yeah, drugs aren’t a good coping mechanism for trauma in general?
- Comment on Where's my JUUL? 2 months ago:
I don’t use, personally, though I have had opiates for acute pain as most people have. I’m just not a judgemental asshole. Opium isn’t the problem, fent is.
- Comment on Where's my JUUL? 2 months ago:
Poverty and trauma makes peoples faces gaunt and haggardly and destroys lives. Heroin addiction is one of many other potential symptoms of poverty and trauma. Plenty of people use opiates and opioids medically and recreationally to no ill effects. The drugs are a comfortable scapegoat for people who care more about maintaining their personal status quo than the ability for other people to survive.
