I really think that “killed” is the wrong term. It is far too neutral. The correct word here would be “murdered”.

Who’s dying on what hill now?
That would be wonderful. The current way that the world has been “working” for a good while now makes me think it unlikely, unfortunately. The vast majority of technological innovation in the last half-century has been used to extract wealth and replace options available to the non-ultra-wealthy with inferior substitutes that are cheaper to make, often for the same effective cost.
I would say that I think it’s weird because I think shaved pubes are weird (and experienced horrific razor burn when I tried it back in college).
Sounds like you are a fucking rockstar dad though. That’s a very vulnerable thing to think about asking your parent for a teenage boy. Lots of self-consciousness and trying to figure oneself out. That he felt comfortable asking you says a lot. That you stepped up to ensure that he knew how to do so safely says a lot too.
I had to look it up a few months back. But then I remembered that there was this whole big thing that I thought was uninteresting and forgot about.
Thank you for your diligence.
Life long windows user. I switched to Arch
Fuck. That’s like going straight from English breakfast tea to hash oil.
I’ve been using Linux almost exclusively both in my personal and professional life for a decade and a half. I only installed Arch a month or two ago.
Technically correct (still the best kind of correct). However, the meaning has changed a but due to the word’s falling into disuse. Colloquially, it is now used as a mid-point between overwhelmed and underwhelmed, describing a situation as a mundane experience. Not disappointing, too stimulating, or even satisfying; just neutral (“Tell my wife I said ‘Hello’”).
I was also making a timezone joke :D
Spain is in UTC or UTC+1. I’m on UTC-8. 11AM for Spain is 3AM for me, making it easy for me to have a not-too-crazy evening and still be in bed before 11AM UTC.
That’s really easy though. And without getting plastered. Just start at about 5 or 6 and have one drink an hour. Then, with a bit of self-control and go to bed before 1 in the morning and you’ve 2 hours to spare.
So… Judging by recent trends in AI, this will be used to devalue the labor of surgeons and be provided as the only option available to people who are not rich. People will die from what would get a human charged with neglegent homicide but, it will be covered up and, when it comes to light just how dangerous it is, nothing will happen because all of the regulatory agencies have been dismantled.
Cat in the Hat. Kid’s got a while life ahead of them to get depressed about the vile things humans have done (and still do) to each other. Let the kid have a few months of happiness.

Sounds like the American Baptists should get on that. Then again, they believe strongly in separation of church and state.
(They’re the sect that remains of the original Triennial Convention AKA Baptists, after the Slaver Southern Baptists left because they didn’t like the idea of chattel slavery being considered wrong. Seriously. The split occurred because they refused to ordain a guy from Georgia as a missionary in 1844, on account of him being slaver trash.
The modern Southern Baptist Church, horrifyingly the largest sect of protestant Christianity in the US, is directly descended from them, and it shows.)
Nostradamus rules. Galleons. So, they’re saying that we’re bring back the age of sail.
As someone with AuADHD, can confirm that parenthetical statements are likely an ADHD thing (I use a lot of them).
Setup a private jet purchasing co-op?
Autistic things are sometimes truly depressing.
Absolutely. And figuring out how to interact with people, especially if they are people that you may find attractive for now intimate companionship (not trying to assume) is something that isn’t generally explicitly taught. It probably should be though as doing so would significantly reduce interpersonal strife.
If wanting or receptive to some advice from someone with AuADHD, I can share something that helps my brain in some in-person social situations. Sometimes, I reframe it as a “scene” where I am playing the character of Me. Not an exaggeration or non-authentic version of myself, more like “method acting”. This tricks my brain into being more present and not worrying about possible futures or cringey things of the past.
People of this kind I’ve heard of seem very energetic. They may not always do the smartest thing, but they do it all the way in. Maybe that’s what’s wise.
For their benefit and the role that they in company structures, it is one approach that pays out for some. And it is one that’s heavily promoted. However, it does effectively amount to gambling, albeit with minimal personal risk to the CEO, considering the level of connections and wealth required for the position, not to mention the Golden Parachutes that they have in their contracts, should they be replaced.
Though then why be a corporate executive. Doesn’t seem anything desirable.
Generally, it’s about accumulation of personal wealth and power, rather than actually believing in a given service or product. While to you and I, that may not seem desirable, to a certain percentage of the population, it is a principal drive. Unfortunately for us, and humanity at-large, there’s also a statistically-significant increase in the incidence of anti-social personality disorder in those who pursue such positions, compared to the population average.
Both were less impressive than the beard of Edward Teach.
