The person you’re responding to has clearly never been in charge of hosting a mail server. That shit is absolutely not worth it.
Free email sounds good until you realize you’re paying for it by letting them peruse your mail to scrape out ad data and feed their LLMs.
I’m pretty happy to pay a small fee to avoid both of the above.
30 years and you haven’t figured out that hosting anything online costs money?
That cost is getting recovered, one way or another. I’d prefer to just pay for it, personally, rather than have my entire identity be commoditized.
Fun fact: Marcus Aurelius ruler of Rome during a time when as much as 30% of all Romans were slaves.
41 here: when do the jerks go away?
Of course he can’t, he’s too much of a loser to eat shit and die. He couldn’t manage it.
Eat shit? Maybe. But eat shit and die? No sir. No way. I won’t believe it unless I see it for myself.
“Lot of people” think Trump is a fucking moron, must be true.
Talking to you. Empathizing with your situation. Validating you and making you feel heard. Offering company and distraction.
Like… are you seriously asking, or are you just trolling? This is like human connection 101.
By being supportive. Emotional support is, in fact, support.
Yeah, this makes sense to me. I’ve made some shitty choices along the way too, maybe didn’t learn as much from it as I should have.
I guess this is just a matter of opinion, but are any of those things “support”? Like, “I need help moving a couch” isn’t really the same as “I am having an existential crisis and I need help” is it?
I guess I do bond during the couch moving, somewhat?
There’s a community for that. Something about leopards? 😏
Nah, straw man for days. You don’t get to dismiss the substance by equating to something I never said.
16% is not “men have a problem and women are fine” and we need to be able to admit when our initial impressions may be off.
More to the point: 46% of women don’t reach out when they need help according to this poll. Pretty close to half, which I feel fundamentally challenges my initial impressions and is worth talking about. I would have assumed it to be more like the inverse of men.
If about half of people are struggling, seems worthwhile to address.
Yeah, like, I know how numbers work… but the prevailing narrative for my entire adult life has been that men are isolationist monsters who never reach out for help while women are inherently social creatures.
16% doesn’t really support this narrative. Seems like about half the population isn’t comfortable talking to other people, which seems like it might indicate that society needs to change a bit, rather than just men.
Same reason I have a bow: target shooting is super fun and cathartic.
Huh… 38% of men turn to a friend when in need opposed to 54% of women. A 16% difference doesn’t seem, like, huge.
Maybe we should be talking more about why people are so closed off just in general?
What? Of course it is. The money circles from nvidia and back to nvidia, compromised mostly on vanity stocks backed by hopes and well wishes. It is like the definition of a bubble.
Fuck absolutely everyone involved with this shit.
Also: fuck project 2025 and every single person who was involved in the creation, dissemination, or implementation of any part of it.
Tired of trying to be the “bigger person” in the room on these topics; they’re attacking our children and our culture and our education and they’re dickheads for it the lot of them.
Indoctrination is wrong, damn it. Why is that not just a fucking given?
One Cut is a truly fantastic movie.
Nothing quite like gagging yourself with a finger to get that fucking bit of shell out of your throat.
This is an excellent clarification, thanks.
Fuck LLMs, though.
