“The Computer never makes a mistake” is true and also probably responsible for people believing LLM-hallucinations uncritically

Honestly good litmus test, if you got a Thinkpad that means somebody seems to listen to IT on what to buy which does bode sort of well for a tech job

If you’re talking to libs obviously the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea is any and all of those, why would they be named such otherwise

More like a Tontine HEYOOOOOOooohhh :(

One of the worst things you can do to the environment folks. Don’t bear children. Don’t invite another being into this madness and suffering.

As is continuing to live so why don’t you follow through on that line of thought here

Like me personally or like societally?

Most stuff on a bicycle for the average person unless it’s carbon, plastics or electronics. Including safety stuff. Some caveat if you wanna huck yourself off a mountain or do like 100kph descents on your roadbikes.

But for the most stuff? The cheap shit works absolutely fine because at it’s core it’s bits of formed metal with threads attached connected by steel wires. Very hard to fuck any of that up to the point it becomes dangerous. I keep seeing parts being rated as SAFETY LEVEL 5 E-BIKE READY as if the metal rod that is my handlebar usually disintegrates once I hit the ludicrous speed of [checks notes] 25kph. Your $2 Alibaba Special V-Brakes are, at worst, gonna have garbage springs so it doesn’t return to not-braking great, but you’re not gonna like snap them in half even if you were a gorilla riding a bicycle.

I know the feeling and also I’m curious, what’s the difference here? What choices present themselves?

Useage of roller suitcases is now bound to a license and it gets taken away if you do some inconsiderate shit like blocking off half the walkway with it behind you to gawk at a sign or run over peoples feet with it

Could probably further this to most things around having 0 spatial awareness but that one the most

The nestlé boycott has always struck me as mostly hollow. I mean sure, it’s not a bad thing to do, but it seems for the majority of people it starts and ends there. Like yup, that’s the one bad company

Thanks, I’m already thinking of ways I am off the mark though, like how things like race science and eugenics have been the “academic” position in the past.

That was very useful to people. It’s not like a majority, even those disliking academia, will trust no scientific study or something, they just don’t trust the ones they disagree with politically

And do you notice any etiquette trends like I describe in that one part?

Absolutely, yeah, allthough it has little to do with type of vehicles and seems to be entirely down to location of the zebra crossing.

Microsoft never gave a shit about private piracy barring some noteable examples from countries with very strict anti-piracy laws like germany. The tactic has always been to get everyonem on windows and then make the big bucks seeling the OS to enterprises, because everybody wants to use windows, since they’re at least halfway competent at that

Now, it’s my opinion that people, en masse, can’t use computers to save their fucking lives anyways and whether they’re too stupid to utilize windows or too stupid to utilize Linux doesn’t make much of a difference, but boy do the people get angry when anyone suggests switching off windows

Oh buddy then we’re historically remembered. Like, that’s a lotta porn.

That ain’t special

I spent my drunk youth listening to these people and my conclusion is they basically all got fucked, metaphorically or literally, by something, honestly. People don’t just turn self-destructive by themselves

a precision immobilization technique

not that precise was it

get in my car

gross

I had sort of the same thing happening with a glob of rice noodles and I was quite surprised that I was quite occupied with how dumb of a death that would be instead of anything remotely helpful

I am judging the fuck out of nazis though and I will not stop

there’s buildings in kamurocho you racist
