You’re asking for even more financial stress for probably closer to a billion people who are already struggling. The rich do not care what the fuel costs.

Could also be that those kinks already exists in our minds undiscovered and is what creates the draw toward these particular shows in the first place.

Though, most people here are talking about crushes which is a different thing. Personally I really stuggle to draw a line from a kink I have to a show I watched in childhood.

These tasks were already on the to-do list prior to the invention of the washing machine.

It is true, however, that the day didn’t get any shorter so most people did fill up that extra free time with other tasks because most people consider doing nothing to be quite boring.

You’re acting in bad faith by intentionally misunderstanding them and making it personal.

Thought-terminating cliché

Do you consider your own output here to be of more value then? After all, your average response length is about one sentence and I detect zero attempt to partake in any kind of conversation exploring ideas or even requiring the minimal amount of thinking to take place. Even here you’re making a hasty generalization about hundreds of millions of people while implying they all run absolutely everything through AI while yourself seemingly mixing the terms conscience and consciousness. Not really the greatest example of someone successfully expressing their natural thought process without the help of AI.

I literally wrote a comment about the exact same thing yesterday. Freedom of Speech in the US only means freedom from prosecution for what you said. It does not entitle you to a platform to say it. Social media giants can silence you for literally any reason. You don’t even have to break the rules. That doesn’t infringe on your freedom of speech as that is not what said freedom even means.

In regards to the original question: I’d say it’s a good heuristic to assume that every time someone anywhere makes an absolute claim that leaves no room for them being mistaken is a situation where it’s safe to assume they’re just expressing personal mood about that subject, not an objective truth. Absolute claims only need one counter example to come crashing down.

Potenttially but not everyone is in prison for violent crime and I’m not sure who wants to live in a place where something like that is forced upon people.

I’ve never cheated on anyone.

Hearing that doesn’t mean much when it comes from someone who just wrote a wall of text declaring how you’re willing to lie when that can prevent you or someone else feeling uncomfortable emotions.

That’s the point: liars by definition can’t be trusted. If I can’t trust your no, I can’t trust your yes either.

Cheating your partner also doesn’t hurt them for as long as they don’t find out.

Telling white lies indicates that you consider yourself to be a better judge of the other person’s ability to handle uncomfortable information. You’re treating them as emotionally immature person who needs to be sheltered from the real world like a child. You’re not only lying but also disrespecting them.

Unless you’re hiding Anne Frank on your attic, there’s very few situations that justify lying. Same applies to violence.

Here’s a simple queston: in what situation would you want to be lied to?

Emule was my tool for sketchy stuff like that. And oh boy was there some sketchy stuff in there…

We learn to hit eachother at you young age as well but nobody would use that to justify hitting people once they’re adults.

I don’t even own a microwave (technically I do but it’s mothballed somewhere in my shed). I just cut the bag open and pour the content into a large cast iron pot with a lid.

This is the house brand from LIDL. Cheaper than the name brand, larger packaging and both contain fat, salt and corn.

I never said I couldn’t find a recipe - the question was: who the fuck doesn’t know how to make french toast?

I don’t.

What a strange thing to so angry about.

I don’t. Not a clue where to even begin.

The exact make and model isn’t always strictly relevant. In this particular example it would suffice to just say “large SUV” or similar. Not everyone knows what kind of a car LandCruiser even is.

We are trading trading hidden metrics for observable ones.

Observable metrics are the visible ones others can easily judge: annual salary, job title, car value, house size. Hidden metrics are the ones that are harder to see but more closely tied to day-to-day well-being: quality of relationships, free time, peace of mind, health, and length of commute.

The irony here is that we might trade happiness for better salary in hopes of it buying us happiness.

There’s value in working a job and realizing it is not what you want to do as well. I did that for 10 years before I realized that I want to do something else instead and that I didn’t like having a boss either.

“It” as in AI which is not synonymous with LLMs.

Google DeepMind’s AlphaFold solved protein folding for example and the team won Nobel’s prize for it.
