Is it really that big of a deal to help/encourage a friend/family in these simple ways?? Do you have no time in life to smell the flowers?

After one season of bee keeping I concluded the same thing. Its horrifying how poorly bees are treated in this industry to control parasites (forced exposure to acidic gas) I sold my hives and will probably never buy honey again, much in the same way I avoid factory farmed meat.

Your job will disappear even faster with your head that deep in the sand. At least learning the new tools you can carve out a new role/career for yourself.

but Social media companies suppress human curation in favor of their algorithmic recommendations; while human curation doesn't scale as a business model, it still competes for attention—and is thus marginalized.

you're right. Now delete that app!

Vegas is fun, but not fun enough to justify having to worry about this stuff. My days of visiting the USA are over.

Good thing you werent about to fall off the route! The older i grow the more I've come to realize that its not uncommon for people to lack awareness about risk and consequences. These days it takes me many outings with a climber partner to truly trust them. This is why it always blows my mind when i see people going out on multi pitch climbs with people they've never climbed with before.

highly agree. after using a cone anything else seems haphazard and cruel.

that was enjoyable, but someone anxiety inducing :) reminded me of ProZD's take on TCGs: https://youtu.be/EBIsZlV1jHk

that's the thing about resetting to default settings... sometimes your custom preferences were useful and they'll some time to reconfigure

Not only ugly, but unstable and sketchy. I wouldn't go near that wall.

you must be a be fan of chatgpt :)

i found that it showed me the path to that happy place, and now that i know the route, i can find my way back from time to time. Of course without mdma i can't stay there for long, but when i do visit its sublime and doesn't involve the multi week depression afterwards

Ask it to do a role play as a doctor, or maybe just rephrase your question so it's less of a request for advice, but instead a discussion of scientific data/facts. It should be easy to get around thus guardrail.

what strain of mushrooms?

i think you might be focusing too much on ai risk presented in fantasy (killer robots), meanwhile we can already clearly see how LLMs negatively impact society via disruption or popular opinion, politics (recommendation algorithms), and rapid uncontrolled scientific discovery. Such disruptions could potentially result in nuclear war, human created plagues, etc. You might be getting down voted without comment because you're message comes across like cheerleading that only examines one future distant risk. Your framing as "extential fear" is particularly dismissive and doesn't seem to be in good faith for such a serious and subject.

and yet you're willing to admit to your shady style on hn and describe that style as "best". its no wonder your industry is looked upon with disgust.

don't worry, we'll be gone soon and some sort of life on earth will go on

having participated in both activities, I can concur the frustration was very similar.

well we know exactly what sort of message little girls receive in this patriarchal society, so in this discussion we need to be careful to not dismiss simple and non-extreme feminist values. Are we really seeing an "extreme power imbalance"? Or is it just a leveling of power with a bunch of men freaking out because their inherited privliage is disappearing?

a child is a ridiculously expensive, time consuming, and undependable insurance policy

2 mustard, 1 mayo, 1 ketchup

the load times were soooooo bad. Insultingly bad. It doesnt seem like you understand the true extent to how horrible rockstar managed this issue. I definitely quit playing for exactly this reason, even at the expense of spending less time with a good friend who i played with. Rockstar is a garbage disrespectful company for allowing this to go on for so long.

appending "wiki" is also really useful if you're looking for straight facts

I got lucky and stumbled upon a company that sells an inovative and effective service that has potential to improve humanity. The fact that the companies success is aligned with human success is a huge motivator to get up and work 8 hours each day. However even with the money being decent, and the HR policies and benefits being amazing, i still struggle with the 40 hour grind. I can't imagine finding a better company to work for; I can only concluded that a fulltime job work will never "feel right". I think 20 or 30 hours would be much more ideal, as it would afford me more time to focus on life/family/nature/body/community/learning/creativity

meat production and processung in the "developed" world isnt much better. in fact this might even be better because those cattle probably weren't raised in factory style density

is it laziness or just unwillingness to suffer the pain that comes from loading a modern day website monstrosity (cookie popup, newsletter popup, autoplay video, moving content, accidentally ad clicks)

for some perspective, i went to school in ontario from 1986-2004 and never heard a single word about residential school. I think its safe to say that canada is only starting out on this journey of reconciliation. Its going to take decades of work and focus to right these wrongs.
