Don’t spend one more dollar on educational material. If a person had to pay for every textbook and online subscription, education would be impractical.

There is a limit beyond which it will simply dissolve into your blood stream.

It depends on how pressurized it is. And clearly farts are pressurized.

OP: “Those people are stupid. Problem solved.”
I hope you can recognize that you are expressing a defense mechanism, not rational thought.

Also, “The experiences of non-human animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. It harms us when we take pleasure in cruelty and violence.”

chapGPT is drunk uncle confidently stating a thing they heard third hand from Janet in accounting and then taking him at his word

FOSS is always available. R is always available. Your points remain but you’re never in a situation where Excel is the only thing you can use.
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 1 week ago:
It’s not a tu quoque when NK isn’t hurting anyone and the Americans are burning down the fucking planet.
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 1 week ago:
If you are an American, eat what’s on your plate before you worry about NK.

We all see and hear what goes on over there.
Bullshit.

- Comment on UK | Fewer than half of young men believe abortion should be legal, poll finds 5 weeks ago:
No, I got THAT part. But wtf does that (or even being quick generally) have to do with Roger Rabbit?
- Comment on UK | Fewer than half of young men believe abortion should be legal, poll finds 5 weeks ago:
You don’t think young men are genetically predisposed to seeking violent solutions and promoting violent rhetoric, more so than young women are? Because I think they very obviously are. I don’t think that’s remotely disputable. And I think that’s being intentionally exploited.
There are LOTS of people “there to help”. But you don’t find them on 4chan.
- Comment on UK | Fewer than half of young men believe abortion should be legal, poll finds 5 weeks ago:
Like this isn’t by design?? Young men are swinging so hard because they are most eagerly vulnerable to manipulation. It isn’t happening by accident, a quirk of circumstances or unintentional neglect.
- Comment on US | ‘No Kings’ demonstrator dies after being shot at Utah protest, police say 5 weeks ago:
That (no doubt unintentionally) casts it as a simple “trolley problem” dichotomy. But it’s not a dichotomy. “Commit fewer homicides than the bad guy might have” is not a win condition, it’s barely more than a push.

- Comment on “Piracy is Piracy” – Disney and Universal team up to sue Midjourney 1 month ago:
I think the distinction between data acquisition and data application is important. Consider the parallel of photography; you are legally and ethically entitled to take a photo of anything that you can see from public (ie, you can “scrape” it). But that doesn’t mean that you can do anything you want with those photos. Distinguishing them makes the scraping part a lot less muddy.
- Comment on “Piracy is Piracy” – Disney and Universal team up to sue Midjourney 1 month ago:
Yes. Piracy in the sense of stealing from ships in international waters is different from piracy in the sense of copyright infringement. Thanks for that.
- Comment on “Piracy is Piracy” – Disney and Universal team up to sue Midjourney 1 month ago:
Are you saying that the mere action of scraping is fair use, or that absolutely anything you do with the data you scrape is also fair use?

- Comment on ChatGPT "Absolutely Wrecked" at Chess by Atari 2600 Console From 1977 1 month ago:
It doesn’t have a head like that. It places things in a conceptual space, not a numerical space. To it, a number is just an adjective, like a colour. It is learning to play chess by looking for language-like patterns in the game’s transcript. It is never attempting to model the contents of the board in it’s “mind”.

A proper Faraday cage, a truly excellent one, just the most Faraday of all the cages, is easily defeated by physical attacks such as getting your phone cloned when you get mass arrested and summarily released on OR.
- Comment on What editor or IDE do you use and why? 1 month ago:
emacshas been with me since the 16-bit era, across paradigms, across generations, across careers. When I useemacsI think in terms of what the elisp is doing. It’s such a deep and developed relationship, I would be throwing away so much personal power to use anything else. - Comment on What's the deal the miracles jesus chose to do? 1 month ago:
When the original authors of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John wrote their words in the original Greek, they were not imagining blindness to be a metaphor for clinical depression. Or even for feeling sad, if that is what you mean. Blindness is often used as a metaphor in the Bible, for example for ignorance, pride, deception, and unbelief. You can attempt to take it as a metaphor for the modern concept of depression (which of course they did not even possess) but to do so, you are clearly reading into the text.
I’m trying to understand if you are advocating doing that intentionally, but it’s not even clear if you’re aware and accept you’re doing that at all.
- Comment on What's the deal the miracles jesus chose to do? 1 month ago:
I’m going to claim brain fart. I’m horrified to find I had thought that it was about, like, modern Israel. Dumb.
OTOH, it sounds like you are suggesting taking interpretations like that; reading things into the text and adopting the symbols for our own purposes. Blindness wasn’t a metaphor for depression. You have to insert that as a modern reader. The text doesn’t fully support it and you have to creatively interpret at times. I don’t think that’s very satisfying.
