I've never understood all the hate levied at 'loss'. Can you imagine experiencing a miscarriage, building a popular web comic, and then integrating your own experience into it, showing one of your most vulnerable moments, and then it becomes a ruthlessly mocked meme?

Joe Rogan is an idiot.

I hate that this is satire but also pretty much true. Men are not generally socialized to recognize uncomplicated, unsexual fondness for a woman.

Tbh, the hate is largely good old fashioned bullying. The rumors of cheating have been completely disproven. She qualified, she knew she was unlikely to win. She's almost 20 years older than her oldest opponent and this was perhaps her first time competing at that level. Her performance had good parts.

I think the gleeful bullying is disgusting. Fucking armchair critics.

Edit: there are specific moves, but it's largely improvisational. you are judged comparatively against the other b-boy. If you watch the full set the commentators will call them out. her full set

Maybe he was just VERY bad at his job?

I do wonder, hypothetically, if free Linux distros had 80% of the consumer market, would we see just as many dangerous exploits and malware as we do on Windows today? It seems to me that the consumer community is so small that it's hard to say if it's secure or just obscure.

I understand in theory Linux is more secure... But are individual users really not opening themselves up to attacks, downloading foss software right and left? Using built in stores? Wine emulation?

Why is everyone so mad about this? I mean, it's a salty article, but yeah, it kinda sucks when publications don't give notice before closing down. I think providing the public, including previous contributors, time to archive content is a good practice.

The whole premise of this meme is a bit silly. If there was a corpse floating near the beach, I think most people might wait for the corpse to be removed, and perhaps even a reasonable cause of death to be determined, before entering the local area. The same is true for pools.

I feel like the Internet needs more tags:

  • Explicit (rude language, nudity, etc)
  • Porn (nsfw legacy tag)
  • Violence
  • Not safe for life

Something like that.

There is almost no chance that it is truthfully based on gpt 4. If you want a free, open source llm with 32k context and generous limits, I recommend using huggingface.co/chat/

The nous-hermes model (you can select different models) is uncensored, and performs really well for a open source model. Plus, they have data controls so you can turn off data gathering per model. Huggingface is a reputable vendor, and doesn't claim to be something it isn't.

In some respects, I can see this. Games such as unscrupulous MMOs are often carefully engineered to distort your ability to manage time and money. However, many games are still produced as entertainment products meant to compete on a basis of artistic or entertainment value. The addictive aspect doesn't come from a manipulative design, but Rather just plain old fun, and in those cases similar arguments could be made about strawberries or books.

I would like to reiterate that there are addictive video games which really do try to manipulate you. Just like how a breakfast cereal might market itself as healthy and balanced while loaded with sugar and deceptive portion sizes, leading to unhealthy habits, a money first video game will contain elements carefully crafted to distort player's perception and reasoning.

It's just... All mixed together.

I'm a man, USA. In my personal experience, which doesn't mean very much, I've noticed that men seem unable to accept catastrophy. They try to reason or wiggle a way out of it. Woman seem more at ease when dealing with horrible events.

If I had to guess, it is a difference in perception and experience. Perhaps men are groomed to be "providers, problem solvers," and so they despair at unsolvable problems, while women are told not to "overreact," and to "support" others in times of crisis. Like a weird inverted effect of patriarchal society.
