You said you want good faith discussions, but you preemptively dismissed one of the biggest answers because you don’t think it’s a good solution. Then you have people here disagreeing with you, explaining why, and pointing to examples of it being done successfully, and you continue to completely dismiss a donation as nothing more than a “thank you” - how is this in any way a good faith discussion if any opposing viewpoint is immediately met with this kind of “YOU’RE the problem” response?
I do understand your frustration in those cases in which donations fail, but it seems like you’re not willing to meet us halfway and acknowledge that sometimes, donations succeed, and not by accident or luck. There’s data there - test cases we could be picking apart and seeing what critical mass needs to be reached before an instance can reliably secure donations and what we can do for admins until their instances reach that threshold. But you’re just dismissing it as nonviable even though it clearly works for a lot of places.
That is not good faith.
Source for fun. Japanese people discussing their favorite countries. The woman in OP is discussing Belgium!
Being horny is harmless and fun. There would be a lot more chill in the world if people would stop being so wound up about it.
The best time to learn emergency lifesaving procedures is before you need them, but the second best time is when you need them. Being old fashioned about this could cost a life.
If you have a quicker reference people should bookmark for such cases, the kind thing would be to share it rather than judge. Else, panicking people will inevitably go where they know they can usually get fast instruction about any other topic.
Idk man, I was just continuing the chain of references.
No way. Why should OP change? He’s not the one who sucks.
While I haven’t read up in detail on it, from what I’ve osmosed from headlines and blurbs, I believe the Neuralink program is aimed at healing specific issues such as blindness? He probably wouldn’t qualify even if he wanted to.
(Of course, he doesn’t want to, because he knows perfectly well he’s selling a dangerous lie, but we can’t really get after him based on “why isn’t he volunteering” I think.)
The title sounds clickbaity, so tl;dr for those looking for a summary: it’s probably clickbaity because they don’t want to be seen as making a direct accusation they could be sued for. The monkeys suffered in various ways during the trials (all of which are detailed in the article, including but not limited to bloody discharge, loss of motor control, brain infections, edema, etc) and had to be euthanized. Musk claims they were all terminally ill anyway and none of the deaths were from the implant, but this seems to be a blatant lie.
And now he wants human volunteers. Isn’t that fun.
This. They should be going through insurance for this.
Of course, the insurance rates would rise, and they’d still be passing on that increase to the residents, but residents would be slightly less bitchy about it since the extra layers of opacity would make it seem like “just more of the usual greed and inflation.”
The fact that they even tried to pretend it wasn’t retroactive because they didn’t charge for old install counts. Like, does it charge games that were released under different terms? Yes? Then it’s retroactive!
I almost never used all on reddit.
On the fediverse, I use it every day. There isn’t enough content in my subscribed feed, so I check the “good stuff” first and then pop over to see what’s interesting elsewhere.
It’s pretty much all he does unless he finds an Obra Dinn-tier darling.
Except for Gollum, he was weirdly defensive of that for a game that pulled every AAA anti-consumer trick in the book without at least the decency to be bland.
the black spots you get in clothes when you leave them in a wet pile for too long
We call that mold or mildew.
that’s just a whole other level of insanity
glad you can’t deal this argument anymore
If you think […] then you haven’t really seen
Incidentally, I’ve got another measure for when someone is probably a bad person. Someone else in this comment section said it, so I’ll quote and link.
Now, see, that up there was me enforcing my boundaries, and you hauled off and insulted my sanity and made all kinds of assumptions about my life experience. Painted yourself into a corner on this one, my dude.
I really don’t have the desire to deal with this level of unhinge over carts, especially when most of it is self-contradictory, begging the question, and/or straight up incorrect.
If I was willing to meet you halfway with “just irresponsible, not bad” before, this response right here eliminated all that.
What error, exactly? If someone makes a choice and doesn’t take responsibility for that choice, there’s no error in judgment calling that person irresponsible. Mitigating circumstances like a person’s childcare situation are only mitigating circumstances because there was irresponsibility in the first place to mitigate. It’s still irresponsibility. There was no error.
Not to mention, the damn sun here, it gets absolutely hot here at times, even I don’t see myself walking halfway to the other part of the parking lot just to leave a cart when I already walked all the way from the entrance carrying all of my groceries, I don’t see myself returning in that case.
Lost me here, nope, nooooope nope nope nope. The weather is the least justifiable excuse – Someone has to walk all that way to return that cart in the hot sun if you don’t. If anything, making someone else do it is worse because of that weather.
I also saw you throwing out “but they have employees who do that” in another part of the thread. You wouldn’t throw trash on the ground instead of walking it to a can just because a place has a janitor, I’m sure. It’s exactly the same logic, and the reason you wouldn’t ruin a janitor’s day is the same reason you shouldn’t ruin a cart collector’s day.
I get that your local shop sucks for only having one corral. I really, truly do. But you know what I do when my closest store has practices I can’t deal with? I don’t make someone else clean up after me, I take my money elsewhere.
How does the change do nothing to combat those interactions when they fall under the $1 sub requirement? The idea is that allegedly bots won’t pay, so they won’t be able to do those actions anymore.
