Me. Porn is fine. Teach your children how to handle it. Teach them that it’s not realistic and some of it is straight-up dangerous. Put a filter on your internet if you’re too scared to talk to your kids about uncomfortable topics.

Unironically, the provider of the chat bot should be liable for anything the chat bot says. Don’t fire humans so youn can hide behind a neural network.

But this ain’t suicide encouragement.

I lived in that beautiful era. It was glorious.

I do not want the program to react when I left click ordinary text. The program should not anticipate my needs. It should wait until I’ve told it I need something (with a right click) before doing anything.

Added sugar to peanut butter is an affront to the mighty peanut. Just grind that shit pure and smack it in your mouth like nature intended.

The way statistics work, 1000 people is more than adequate for a population the size of Israel. It’s honestly overkill, if anything. The real question is “are the respondents a representative sample?” That is, is the way you chose who to question and how to question them introducing any systemic bias in your results? For this survey, if everyone lived in the West Bank, that would be a clear source of bias in the data. But if people are randomly selected by, say, phone number, then you would have to worry about more subtle biases before agreeing that the data is sound.

Jesus obviously existed. He wasn’t a god (he never claimed he was) but he obviously existed.

The first check I got from my first job was for $0.00 because I hadn’t worked enough to pay off my uniform. I still have it framed. I was also being paid a sub-minimum training-period wage. America’s labor laws are fucked.

It’s my understanding that ecologists generally agree we could eradicate human-biting mosquitos and it wouldn’t cause any real problems. Yes, other species eat them, but they’re not a critical species in any ecosystem, apparently.

You know how there’s those stories of scientists introducing a species into an ecosystem for one reason or another, and all sorts of unintended consequences happen? Ever notice how those stories are all from around the 1950s and earlier? It’s because we actually got pretty good at thinking through all of the possible significant impacts. We only introduce/eradicate species now when we know doing so is a good idea and have worked through the consequences. But I want to be clear that I agree with your sentiment. You shouldn’t intentionally change an ecosystem without serious planning and consideration for what will happen when you do.

Modern UX is all slip-on shoes. Not even Velcro.

Honestly even most Americans don’t understand this shit.

Same reason software will make pointless UI changes. Keeping things fresh gives their users the “exciting” feeling of novelty without having to switch platforms.

I suggest switching to Approval Voting for single-winner elections and Sequential Proportional Approval Voting for legislatures in order to break the two party system and let people support parties and candidates they actually like. Lemme know if you want pointers on how to switch your local system.

Gotta switch to proportional representation if you want to break up the two parties. I suggest Sequential Proportional Approval Voting for multi-winner elections, and pair it with regular Approval Voting for single-winner elections. Both can be implemented at every level in the US, and some places can do so by referendum. Lemme know if you’re interested.

I once encountered a system that truncated your submitted password if you logged in through their app, but not through their website. So you would set your password through the website, verify that the login was working (through the website) and then have that same login fail through the app.

They’re a very small minority.

Yeah they fixed that, apparently. I wouldn’t know because I’ve never needed to draw a circle in gimp, but that was part of the big hubalu with 3.0.

I literally only use it when a how-to guide explains exactly what to do and why. Then I forget what I did and look up how to do it again six months later. I’m fine with this arrangement, though I will prefer to have to use it less.

Does Framework sell a laptop with Linux pre-installed or do they only have officially supported distros?
