I’m pretty sure that wasn’t it. It was a video essay, in line with channels like Folding Ideas and hbomberguy.

I personally think he is highly overrated, but if you think of him as an airport thriller writer, who has no real intention to be accurate in his depiction of things in his books, you’d rate him fairly.

Sure, but their nails aren’t typically as sharp as cats’ claws, so there is that.

Neither is climate change, but we should still combat it where possible.

Funny, that. Fighting against AI could be seen as fighting against climate change, considering the large carbon footprint it has.

One show that talks about them fairly consistently is The Scathing Atheist, but I couldn’t tell you which episodes to listen to specifically. Also good to know, that name is not hyperbolic.

Funny thing:

When I read ‘Scottish National Party’, I immediately thought ‘Wow, even right wingers hate Trump’.

Turns out that party is left-wing.

Makes sense for Scotland though, since many Scots want to have their independence.

Concern trolling is trying to hijack other people’s empathy for their own goals. It may look like empathy, but it really isn’t.

Toxic positivity, on the other hand, really is positivity, but ramped up to eleven, to the point where it becomes harmful.

Scammers take advantage of our empathy. If the response to the scam is empathy, that doesn’t make it toxic, it makes the attempt to take advantage of it toxic, and that isn’t empathy, but a lack of it.

Now I want this.

Etsy, get on it!

Exactly.

Going from that premise, it may be concluded that God didn’t want genders, otherwise he would have created them.

Which I don’t subscribe to, but is definitely something used against LGBTQ people by bigots.

I travel by train. That book does not remain unopened.

Without capitalism, maybe they wouldn’t have continued when they found out there wasn’t enough DNA for complete dinosaurs.

Or maybe they would have had enough time to think things through, and use safer/more appropriate replacement DNA.

Just spit balling.

And a great developer, with an active and very friendly community.

Or, the next president, with any luck a democrat, will be so afraid of the backlash from radical Christians, that they won’t change it back.

Won’t be the first time something happens.

The Postman by David Brin is an interesting novel about rebuilding after an apocalypse, marred by superman.

That’s as much as I’m going to say.

Maybe the plastic of the bottle flexes more, whereas glass doesn’t move, so the cap scrapes against it more.

But, if you trust her, there shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Or is it that you (in this hypothetical situation) don’t truly trust her, otherwise you’d trust her around people you don’t trust.

And that’s okay, just don’t pretend it’s actually trust.

A mocha pot? But then I’d still have to buy coffee beans, which are a luxury, right? Not buying a mocha pot means you don’t have to buy coffee either, thus saving even more money.

And that could go for all luxuries, to the point that life is just working to be able to work.

And none of this would be necessary if wages were higher overall, and there was a good social safety net.

Tell government to tax the rich, instead of telling people to forego their pleasures.

I don’t really see the connection. Kobo is using machine learning to automate certain work on their backend. How would that affect modern e-readers?
