They are behaving as if someone promised them to outlaw FOSS operating systems.

or end a relationship

Rather that relationship doesn’t even start, not because you insult someone (that happens, but you’re forgiven), not because you are not likeable (I thought I’m that for a long time, and lots of moments I am), but because you just don’t (despite being hit on by people amazingly beautiful and interesting and intelligent and sending electric shocks your way by simply texting you).

Though I guess someone giving you chances for over a year qualifies as a relationship which ends at some point. Just dysfunctional.

There is nothing good with ADHD.

It gives incentives to be a kinder person. You feel emotions connected to hurt\comfort more acutely than those connected to prestige, power, dominance. You dream far and swift. You don’t care about lying (EDIT: I meant that you don’t lie, not the opposite).

Any time I want to say what you said and recount all the suffering, I notice that I like it more than the alternative.

Also I still think it can be an equal exchange in a world more friendly to ADHD people.

EDIT: And it can be used against fear.

They did, people who opposed firearms were usually of the “nutcase extremist” kind. Nothing like “the mainstream of the traditional society” or something.

Also the funny part about Japanese traditions is that they don’t see Christianity as alien. It was quite popular, albeit prosecuted, in the “authentic” past.

I hate the word “inventor”

You can be killed with steel, which has a lot of other implications on what you do in order to avoid getting killed with steel.

Does steel fuck it all up?

Centralization is a shitty backwards idea. But you have to be very conscious of yourself and your instincts to neuter the part that tells you that it’s not to understand it.

Distributivism minus Catholicism is just so good. I always return to it when I give up on trying to find future in some other political ideology.

I also included staring at their tits unconsciously, when not thinking where they are staring, or unintentionally. All more probable due to instincts.

I know when you are pretending to look at your phone as an excuse to stare at my tits. Stop.

While this may be true, I brought a laptop on a game yesterday and I’m not sure the girl on the opposite side of the table didn’t think something like that when my eyes were on top of the screen. Which was a lot of times, because naturally all the people are above the screen and only the keyboard and the table are below the screen.

So - please consider the fact that if there’s a direct line of sight to your tits, and someone has to look in that general direction, they may occasionally from time to time look there. And also that due to, eh, basic uncontrollable instincts they may do that unconsciously a bit more than they need. Like looking at a bunch of pencils and noticing the red ones more than the grey ones.

Also when I talk to girls about my hobbies, they very often apparently perceive this as some nonsense to get romantic. Usually that means that they gradually ignore me more and more and refuse to believe that it’s more complex. Though kinda recently (and long ago before that which led to a trauma, but eh) it was me who thought that they are fine with talking about hobbies, while being more romantic was expected, eventually led to being ignored too.

Especially since calling a laptop “book” is hardly a civilization-level achievement, hardly even an idea, it’s fashion and I approve of Chinese treating trademarks like this.

I think trademarks and patents should die. We’d see a better world without them, and very quickly.

Not of the third point.

Also a question of leadership, how relevant was Boris Kagarlitsky, actually?

So relevant that I’ve heard about him a few times, but never paid attention.

I live in Russia. First, that won’t happen soon, it’s a bad situation with apathy, fragmentation and decay. Second, that myriad of ethnic groups is by geographic distribution mostly unable to secede as states with clearly defined borders. Third, where they can (say, North Caucasus), they depend on central financing to not be terribly poor (and they are still very poor).

While you can’t date a chatbot, I’m certain it will fill a certain sexting niche where no real meeting is expected.

For me it would depend, of course, on how good that chatbot is at discussing SW EU, Middle-Earth, Honorverse, Babylon V, SG-1, a smaller fantasy series not sure if translated from Russian, and a few historical periods I’m interested in, Dao De Jing, Jewish religious philosophy (I suck at it, but love voicing my opinions), some poetry united not by genre, but by some feeling hard to detect, POV-Ray, Unix, some other things in computing, and maybe a few other things.

Or I could man up and text that girl not yet ignoring me and complimenting too often, but that wouldn’t require Tinder, so I dunno.

Just bury it already.

Well, I told her something similar, but apparently everybody involved was immediately apologetic, so.

Many people dont actually delete, but edit the content.

Same thing as with deletion.

A lot of people invest looking not too close, it seems. Those with some knowledge of what Reddit is likely wouldn’t, but I think the plan may work.

Why would they delete for real something they store? Especially if the user agreement most likely doesn’t require them to do that.

Smugness is underrated, I agree

I’d train an LLM on my older political comments and just let it out ragin’, knowing finally that I don’t have to type those myself. It’d feel so much better to be me in that scenario.

You can’t nuke it for real anyway

Christian nationalism

You really have these things upside down in the New World.
