- Comment on If you lose your memories, are "you" dead? If a close relative/friend lose their memories, are they still "your relative/friend"? What the hell even is memory? How sentimental are you about memories? 1 week ago:
our memories are not our values, our principles, our habits, our quirks, our capacity for positive experience or engaging interaction.
but they’re pretty closely tied into all of them. i’m not an amnesiologist but i imagine it depends on the specific case how much is ‘lost’ in a given case of amnesia and what’s able to be recovered.

right, this is basically saying “i don’t trust you not to spike my drink, take me to a second location, and rape me”
and maybe you shouldn’t be online dating at all if that’s where you start out from

thought this was about the americans at first (inb4shade) and my thought was “what’s the catch, is uncle clarence gonna insist on administering it himself?”
the actual story is… bleak. now at least the girl might have a future of her own.

- Comment on Sounds like a plan 2 months ago:
shit tons of tech money is now earmarked for ai, so new graduates that focus on ai are very highly sought after and can expect to make a truckload of money in the next 5-10 years of working 80 hour weeks and being abused by zuckerberg, musk, et al.
that means there’s far less spending on traditional development positions, especially junior devs who these companies are now trying to replace with ai. add on top that covid spending led to a massive increase in dev jobs which have been laid off since then.
tl;dr there are opportunities out there, but it’s a very unhealthy, lopsided market that’s not able to support the same population it could just a couple years ago. and all of this within a bubble that’s already showing signs of being stretched to capacity.
