  • If anything, Gen Z to-be-wives are more independent and self-realising than any generation before. And I'm all for it.

  • I might just be too high but I needed a solid minute to stop seeing the meat as bits of pink knitting

  • It's all about traffic.

    Toss in some ads and while you lose some customers you start generating revenue.

  • And yet the orange turdsack's name still appeared more times than the rest of the big names combined... quite telling, ain't it?

  • Except it isn't, because you have to access the data of that GPS receiver somehow.

    I'm so fed up with people having this misconception that GPS somehow on its own exfiltrates one's position. It doesn't. You're literally just using a pre-defined arrangement of satellites that broadcast their IDs to establish location. It's entirely local because GPS signal is only received by people.

    So no, just by having GPS, you can't be found by anyone. Not even governments or the CIA.

    Now, if that GPS receiver feeds into a smart system that is exposed to the internet... that is a different topic as there's tons of ways to have apps preinstalled and pre-approved that can read the GPS receiver data and send it off to a third party. It can even be built into the OS.

    However, permanently internet connected cars aren't that widespread even today - most actually tend to rely on the driver's phone and runs a very thin layer of smart stuff that simply enables the phone to use the car dashboard as a terminal.

  • But if we phase out fossil fuels how will the already rich bastards who own all of said fuel, extort the world while simultaneously ruining it?

  • The name "Femerator" is especially funny after you read "I Will Break You" by Gigi Styx. One of the primary trigger warnings of the book is "inappropriate use of a thigh bone".

  • Who the fuck are these people even?

  • Why are you trying to draw a false equivalence between your scenario, and mine? They're vastly different in outcome and justifiability, so why are you trying to strongarm one into the other?

  • It does not fit the metaphor but does complete the lesbian meme!

  • People should have a right to protest - even if they're dumbasses protesting for idiotic things. Devaluing a life just because the person behind it is a dumbass is very much a Nazi tactic. You don't dehumanise stupid. You help it realise and reconcile it's stupidity.

  • Acting in the moment to save someone, providing them support, is very, very different to going back in time to undo things that have already happened.

    First of all, you already know that the person in question survives the trauma you're trying to undo. It's already part of their personality. Changing the past in this case doesn't save their lives but potentially changes their personality in a major way.

  • It should've made it incredibly clear who's who on the list of "thinking too much of the children".

  • Oh no, that part was implied. Heavily.

  • They might stay your friends, but would they be the same people? I think that's the important angle.

    Our struggles define us. For example, for me, did it suck to be fuck-ass poor throughout university, often surviving on rice only for weeks, depending on friends? Sure. Would I trade it for a comfortable study life? Hell no. That struggle helped me grow, as much as it sucked.

    As an external observer, sure, seeing your friends scarred sucks, but who gave you the right to remove that trauma, and change who they are?

  • I'm a bit split on this.

    On one hand you'd think you're doing something good, helping a friend.

    On the other hand, so consider that everyone you know at this moment, is like that because of what they've gone through. All that trauma, hardship, everything that happens to you from birth, forms your personality. Take that away from them, and at best you just weaken the person, at worst, you completely change their personality. You can't know what past experience makes one stronger.

    This is actually largely why the uber wealthy don't seem to have a grasp at the everyday people's struggle. They're so far detached from it because they never really experienced it.

    Also do consider that while today we might have various sympathetic treatments for a number of mental issues, even just 20-30 years ago a lot of the treatments would mean being drugged out of your mind 24/7 to ensure you're not a source of harm for others or yourself...

  • I wish Prowlarr supported having a pool of generic indexers that are regularly speed tested and only the top X are used for actual queries (one random query an hour to check response time shouldn't hurt, and external searches can also provide for this statistic), either based on count/percentage or maximum response time.

    That would alleviate the long queries on a very dynamic approach.

  • The "prediction market" is different because it's for the already wealthy to make more money based on insider information. It's not for you and me to put in $50 and walk away with $100 if we're lucky, but for someone who already knows what's about to happen to put in 500k, walk away with a million and then claim they made their wealth legitimately...
