Prisoner’s rights are human rights.

I’m right now back in a running/weightlifting phase after finishing a chess phase. I really wish there was more to learn about it because I have the thirst for more information about how to optimise the workouts. Especially nice since it gives me the chemicals I want but I wish the gym would stop playing music.

Nothing beyond clarity. I always thought I was working around my own character flaws but after I realised I’m autistic it reframes it as me working around autism.

It didn’t provide help but it did provide answers. I now sometimes say to clients that I have autism and I might ramble on too much about details and people seem to like it.

Not using a chair to store semi dirty clothes is absurd. Wearing shorts two days in a row saves a lot of laundry.

They’re used differently, which trumps historical meanings.

Not as good as I would have expected. I remember my in-laws car license plate but not their birthdays. It might be because I use a calendar to track those.

I cowpulsively check if I have my key before closing doors. I always feel uncomfortable leaving a place that I know I might not be able to get back to.

I feel the same way. I’ve always assumed it’s because scientific information doesn’t change with time unless it was wrong to begin with. It somehow always ends up sticking to already existing information very well and getting the label “permanent”.

Where are my keys? What did I have for dinner this week? Those have the “ethereal” label on it so it’s get thrown out at the first opportunity.

It really depends. When I’m doing something I don’t like it’s the butt lazer but when I do things I do like it’s the single eye lazer.

It’s based on usage. R word is tainted now, this might change in the future or not. Language doesn’t care about etymology, only about usage. If the usage is generally negative and implies inferiority of a minority it’s a slur.

Calling someone an idiot doesn’t imply that disabled people are inferior, which makes it ok to use.

That the four good emperors of Rome, namely Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pious and Marcus Aurelius had a good thing going until Marcus by deciding to pass the empire to their adopted sons. Nerva was also there with his excellent decision to adapt Trajan out of everyone.

This is portrayed as an altruistic non-nepotism move when in reality they were all childless. Nerva and Antoninus specifically selected because they were old and childless and Hadrian was just straight up gay. They probably would have passed on the empire to their sons if they had them.

Yeah, it’s like bing but actually anonymous.

Tech savvy people like Duckduckgo, Duckduckgo uses Bing under the hood

If you’re willing to spend some money on cheating there’s no way to prevent people from just aimbotting based on video output and feeding it as USB mouse commands. These anti-cheat systems are just shit solutions compared to server-side culling, superhuman reflex detection and report/review systems with premium servers and bans. Just give people in-game currency for correctly agreeing with the consensus and some people will go nuts on it for less than $1 per hour of in-game items.

Anti-cheat systems basically fuck with the kernel so if a game has it there’s a case for not playing it.

One potential organisation type to do this would be a labor union. If multiple unions pool their resources they could make a super PAC and lobby hard.

Now let’s prove that 7x6 is also the answer to the ultimate question.

Honestly, foreign aid was a miniscule amount of money that yielded massive amount of soft power. Trump is a waste of oxygen.

“Copilot, download the latest drivers and make it easy for me to update them” and it gives you some Driver Helper malware

Disregarding the case where you are a Marmite supremacist I’ll say why.

Vegemite and marmite can be thought of as a bitter spice to put on top of butter toast. Just like with salt you can put nothing, way too much and the just right amount. The just right amount is way more subjective than tomatoes or cheese on breat since it can vary by a factor of 20-50x.

I have converted some people to eating marmite and I do it by putting 2-3mm of a knifes tip on the toast and spreading it as thin as possible.

This is my impression also. Most people are just “Meh” about it since it’s not that noticeable. A bit more ads, bit more bandwidth use, bit more ram use and a bit slower CPU when performance of websites sucks ass is not that noticeable.
