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.

Wat? FF14 is good like immediately.

All my homies use toml.

Well, I’m pretty happy that I’ve moved most of my app downloads to a nix config I guess.

Seems like a bigger change than deserves to be buried in the changelog. I wonder what the intent here is.

How much do you think Altman paid for this slop “AGI is right around the corner” bit to get published?

Like, incomparably so… which is really saying something because coke tastes like a big spoon full of sugar with some corn syrup and a food coloring chaser.

You might want to ask ChatGPT to define “cherry picking” for you.

Also “how to ethically cite sources in public discourse”.

If you’re going to just copy paste some out of context slop you could at least just provide a link (he says, knowing that probably came right out of a “write me a paragraph proving that porn is bad” ChatGPT session).

Or are you going to say that “[3]” citation notation in there was totally intentional?

Maybe we should ban anything with a correlative (but not necessarily causative) link to decreased “grey matter” though; let’s start with social media. You’d clearly never use that, right?

Converting those roles to debuggers and active devs does a lot for both the business and the workforce.

Hahahahaha… on wait you’re serious. Let me laugh even harder.

They’re just gonna lay them off.
