This is a perspective that the leadership in general should keep in mind.

They are relishing in ignoring laws and treaties and just opting out of consequences. Generally people understand that honoring laws and elections leaves the populace broadly with a sense of justice even with misdeeds and the punishments are, generally, pretty light. Even the light punishments satisfy people.

Continually flaunting these mechanisms and denying people a civilized path to feelings of justice and being heard is a dangerous thing.

It’s why the control bounces back and forth between two sinilar political parties, most people get a sense of “my team won” or “my team will probably win next time” and this placates people. To decide to nope out of these conventions is to invite great risk.

UNTIL IT IS DONE

That indeed may be his goal

Easier to find the bodies at least.

I’m wondering to what extent some self diagnosed neurodivergent people experience normal, but generally unacknowledged mental experiences and think they must be weird, otherwise it would be talked about more.

As others point out in the thread, this is generally written up as a universal experience of people.

Look at the people trashing AI 2 years ago, how it would constantly hallucinate and produce gibberish code.

In my experience, this is absolutely still the case…

Another thing to keep in mind, this was a bill for a 9 day hospital stay. Generally speaking a vaginal birth has you back out the door in 24 hours, maybe 48 if something warrants a little more observation.

Everything reminds me of him…

For the longest time the trickiest part was the LEDs and power buttons

If they are like 30, they know the babies today will fund their retirement, and a lack of babies means they will be screwed. At least those people I can see a concern from a rational perspective.

However it’s broadly either due to some religious fervor or tech bro narcissism (two two major pro nataliat voices, both super creepy in different ways that actually also hate each other)

Well to say no one is deprived of anything is not necessarily correct, even though the specific “things” are not lost, out can have revenue impact, especially if it’s just completely accepted.

For example if a company wanted some distinct visual element, they might have commissioned it to be done. Now they just prompt their way to the soulless crap.

I think the point is the terminology isn’t right for “stolen”, it’s infringement. That’s not to say that it is good or right, just a matter of the right word.

Well that screenshot was accurate for Gentoo circa 2005, it’s just the worst choice for ease of install, with Linux graphical installs provided by suse, mandrake, and redhat from the 90s.

Fair point could be made that the out of box experience was sorely lacking and you pretty much had to configure;make install most software you actually wanted…

Fax machines, fine, certain organizations still require those mostly because people fall to understand that a fax machine is just a scanner and printer and this some bearaucracy failed to keep pace.

Same story for checkbooks.

AOL is still a thing and you can even sign up for it today, email address wise.

Record players are in use, though more people own records than record players, more popular as display pieces than actual music medium.

I would say everything else on the list is pretty much dead unless you go out of your way to do them, and nothing else on the list has so much nostalgia appeal compared to the problems and difficulty with them.

Lost count due to the dementia

He must have died while typing…

Getting the stack lined up for hw encode can be a mess, especially with cuda…

I haven’t seen the ads to have any idea about this person, but I will but from the stores.

GameStop very rarely, because a game console store price is dumb and getting a used copy of a popular game is cheap, but overwhelmingly will get/wait for PC editions of games, so it comes up very rarely.

Best buy I’ll buy something because they frequently are competitive with buying online, and I like the ability to just pick something up now without waiting. Also when a controller has an issue or was similarly instant to exchange. Didn’t wait a few days just to get a botched one and then wait a few days for a replacement, got it, find out of was not working, and exchanged it all in the same day.

While technically the truth, it can be a hassle to make sure you restart all relevant services after updating a given library.

I just like being able to restart underlying system to take care of any possible straggler without thinking, and the services broadly be provided by multiple systems so the “experience” is starting up through a rolling reboot

While not ejaculation, we do get probed (less literally now) over potential prostate issues, groin hernias, and erections. But only for routine visits, since these issues while significant, have little bearing on diagnosing and treating other health conditions.

Women draw the short straw since imaging and drugs all have to take a potential pregnancy into consideration so it’s a key piece of data for all sorts of medical events. Particularly risky when a fetus is hardest to be aware of early on.
