Does it bother anyone else that eastern is on the left and western is on the right?

I don’t remember a time when including area codes weren’t standard, especially nowadays where it’s required for any digital services.

The country code is typically handwaved, which is +1 for America.

I think the NFT bubble is more apt.

It has to be, it’s in the fold of the lid, you have to open the box to see it.

Diogenes would just say “prove it”.

Can confirm, from east coast, have autism.

Boy Boy has a video where they sneak into a military weapons convention.

One guy was selling crowd control armor and advertised the dissociation from your actions that armor like that creates, divorcing you from guilt.

If I’m not mistaken, all those other terms were imposed on people not really self described.

I think neurodivergent will survive because people can proud to be neurodivergent. It’s closer to an identity than a prescriptive label.

I for one am proud to be neurodivergent.

Pioneers used to ride those babies for miles.

How much did I like that one guy really.

America still has slaves, the constitution makes an exception for prisoners, which is just Roman style slavery again.

Maybe you built up antibodies cause I didn’t notice at all.

If anything modern day santa is more of an invention of Coca-Cola than Christianity or Paganism.

This feels like when my brother backed up a file with Onedrive, then figured he could delete the original… the one that Onedrive was keeping track of.

It’s not that these aren’t confusing, but why risk your file without testing what the software will do first? Especially before hitting anything like “delete” or “discard”?

I ask it for help when I’m unfamiliar with a library/language or if I’m getting complex errors.

But I always type out the code myself, making sure I’m reading each line and understanding what’s happening.

Even for boilerplate if you just let the ai go at it, it’ll generate a Frankenstein boilerplate of an outdated standard.

Republicans also won the house and senate.

With the combined total of a right controlled presidency, congress, and supreme court what can’t they do?

So just allow Hitler to take over europe and make an ethnostate through mass exodus?

If you’re talking about the nukes, I agree, they were unnecessary as Axis Japan was already on the decline.

But to argue the entire war was preventable by just displacing jewish people is naive and borders on antisemitic.

There might’ve been ways to prevent the war from starting, like not destroying Germany’s economy as a scapegoat for WW1 would have done a lot.

But after the Nazis siezed power there’s nothing you could do to diplomacy the Nazis into being peaceful.

That’s part of it but it’s not that we don’t know how, it’s that google search is ruined now.

Paid advertisements floating to the top, search engine optimization completely ruining any form of categorization, a deluge of spam websites that pump out irrelevant articles full of keywords (ironically now using GPT to make more articles).

If you want to actually get real people talking you have to append “reddit” to the end. But now Reddit is also becoming shitty for search.

Nowadays people realize if all you get from google search is ai and social media, then why not skip the middle man? Hence people using ai and even Tiktok in place of Google.

I personally use Claude to ask for niche questions and it actually gets to the point answering what I’m asking. (I double check using the terms it gives me to read more on Wikipedia and ect.)

I feel like an average person or group of people are of average intelligence.

But huge masses of people? They begin to adopt emergent traits that cancel out individual intelligence. It’s why foot traffic can be modelled as a liquid. Or why the entire field of economics can exist.

This makes large public masses have predictable behavior that’s exploitable by grifters, demagogues, and propaganda.

If he was that competent why would he resort to openly pumping and dumping meme coins in public just prior to this stunt.

He has some dangerous strings he can pull, but that doesn’t make him a good puppet master.
