  • And to clarify, the deal wasn't even a peace deal. It was a "ceasefire now, then when Russia recuperates and starts again, we'll have 0 contingencies. See, what if a bomb dropped on your head right now? We can't predict the future!"

  • If the pictures are not, forced therapy is probably the best option.

    This is true, but it really depends how "therapy" is defined. And forced therapy could mean anything from things like the old conversion therapy approach for gay people.

    You might argue that these days we wouldn't do anything so barbaric, but considering that the nature of a pedophile's is very unsavory, and the fact that it will never be acceptable, unlike homosexuality, people would be far more willing to abuse or exploit said "therapy"

  • This is a smarter breakdown. I had a similar thought that this is a test to see how many people will conform to a random demand, basically fielding for which departments are fighting against his authority to know the areas to focus on.

  • No, being greedy is why America still has slavery, technically. As a whole they could get a ton more profit and save on costs if the system cared to develop prisoners, reduce prison populations and make them more productive members of society.

    Individual and short-term profits are gained through this exploitation. The fix isn't to eliminate profit "waste money" then everybody loses. The solution is to address the externality in the market, thereby making it so that everyone can profit.

  • It also reminds me of people’s birthdays.

    I don't get it here. It'd probably take you an afternoon to put everyone's birthday in a spreadsheet or calendar, and then you've made some effort to actually learning their birthdays, leading to a somewhat more personal connection with that person.

    it’s just really the best option for events

    I feel like this is just confirmation bias. At this point it's literally a prisoner's dilemma between your social circle. You could all leave and have a better atmosphere and platform, but if you left alone you'd be missing out. FOMO, etc.

    I'm probably biased here as well, as my age group has left Facebook, but all I really see on facebook are big announcements like engagements, childbirths and have contacts with only distant friends that I don't really care much about, so leaving is "easy"

    Zuckerfuck isn’t great, but he hasn’t trashed Facebook to quite the degree Musk has trashed Twitter…

    This is crazy because before Musk changed twitter so dramatically, Facebook was the exemplar of a bad trash platform. I have to agree that Twitter might be worse now, though.

  • I don't even think it's that we're optimizing for the wrong value. Optimizing for maximum profit is probably fine -- everyone gets the best utility possible. The problem is in the algorithm being a greedy approach where every individual personally chooses the best option for themselves. Greedy algorithm settles on a local maximum but drastically overshoots the global maximum.

  • "No"

  • There are well-designed urinals now that don't splash back. Add to that, If there's a divider, then the urinal is convenient, quicker and imo cleaner because you don't have to touch the stall door or lock to close it and you're not pissing on the seat or sitting down. It's literally no-contact
