- Comment on So if we're just good with careening into fascism 2.0 what does the future look like? 2 days ago:
Thats not people giving up comfort, that is them losing it. Nobody will rebel due to self sacrifice. Many act to rebel from loss of things that don't directly cause discomfort but they have the cognitive ability to see the long term consequences that will come of it.
- Comment on Is it morally wrong for an immigrant or naturalized citizen to "keep a low profile" and avoid speaking up against the government in order to minimize the risks of denaturalization/deportation? 2 days ago:
I mean its what they want. This whole thing is not about getting rid of folks as much as making sure any folks coming in are ready to bend the knee and actively support the bs. At a minimum stay silent but that may not be enough. Need to loud the ones in power and how good and just they are. Basically the ideal is north korea.
- Comment on So if we're just good with careening into fascism 2.0 what does the future look like? 2 days ago:
I don't think people need to give up comfort. At least not to any reasonable level. We need to make it so that we are doing things efficiently. Passive housing using geothermal/solar/wind and such. People able to afford to live where they can be carless.

Actually the lower class has a bit better chance. If you have no home to sell or money to transfer over leaving is a bit easier. If you have enough to set yourself up and then sell what you have that makes it easy. So its like people barely affording their mortgages or have decent jobs that would be hard to replace that get stuck until its to late.

I often wondered how nazi germany happened given the democracy and find myself caught up in the process despite my best efforts and the efforts of many people I know.

- Comment on Duke University lost NIH grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic genetic material, translational studies and signal transduction 4 days ago:
gack. I used to be in microbiology. This will decimate fields doing some amazing things right now.
- Comment on Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day work week 1 week ago:
I assume /s but seriously the 40 hour work week was 1940 so the eighties was four decades later. It was more than enough time and plenty of technological efficiency had come to pass. We should be doing round 3 at this point at least. I mean we are not that far from it being a century since.
- Comment on Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day work week 1 week ago:
Heck. This should have happened in the 80's.

I mean im a city boy so my ideal is living in a high rise downtown. My wifes is way out in the country. So we live like you in the beginings of suburbia. Now given our financials we likely will have to move to cheapest possible in the hopes of solvency if I ever retire but yeah. Hospitals are the big worry.
- Comment on The résumé is dying, and AI is holding the smoking gun 1 week ago:
Your commentary worries me as I am unemployed and have never gotten a job due to someone I know since high school.

Oh man. If you were 25 and he was 30 this would not be as much of a deal but I can see why he feels wierd about it. This is just an aspect of life. When your younger small age differences are more significant and more so if your living independently. Honestly even when your older its wierd with the parent child thing. It goes in reverse to. You have a single parent dating and the date spends the night and it can be wierd for the person not part of the household. I personally think you need to accept it and just see if he eventually gets to where he can manage doing it. I mean he is a guy so if the offer is on the table he will get around to mentioning it if he thinks he can handle it.
- Comment on After Israel and USA's bombing, wouldn't any supposed nuclear bombs go off if there were any? 1 week ago:
not sure if anything more than hydrogen bombs are needed. Next would be like matter antimatter.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 2 weeks ago:
pure distilled water does not. if water with taste is water then great. I personally have a bad habit of drinking a particular flavor of water called soda.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 2 weeks ago:
If i moved there I would get it tested to find out why it had that flavor. Pure distilled water that is only h2o definitely does not.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 2 weeks ago:
I don't think the cold water on a hot day is about flavor. Its just as flavorless as its ever been. Its neutral and you can't get away from that without flavoring it. Bad water can taste aweful but the best is just going to be neutral. We like the taste of acidic things for some reason. Not sure why. The cold water when hot is more a craving and if for some reason you can't get ice cold water but you can soda. Even if your not a soda drinker you may guzzle the icey drink.
- Comment on What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion? 3 weeks ago:
cyberpunk was nice. It had both an optional that really specifically laid things out and then in addition the first gig more casually does it. I seem to recall harry potter being so integrated that I can't remember it. I find a lot of games just sorta give popups that you can say stop to and then it basically just starts simple so you can learn the stuff without it seeming much like a tutorial. skyrim is sorta annoying in that its unskippable and you can't do a save before locking in a race that is after it like you could with oblivioun. So they went a bit backwards. Elden rings was completely skippable but it was also just pants. The tutorial is crazy easy compared to most games and does not prepare you at all for the brutal real game. Baldurs gate was unskippable but its pretty fast and did not really feel aweful to redo as its much like any quest in the game.

how much was it? I know its to late but I play it on a steamdeck. Getting it was sorta a lark but its one of those rare purchases were overall I am happy I got it long term (I rarely really like something.) The offical dock is pants though.

Yes in a stressfull enough setting in a person suffering from mental health challenges themselves. Which is almost everyone at some point in their lives. It is its own call for help. Adults can be depressed and find life devoid of meaning or the meaning they cling to is failing them.
- Comment on I hate Samsung and their dumb software design choices, and this is one of them. Why do I need a SIM card to enable a hotspot whereas every other phone works without one? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah but he said wifi extender.
- Comment on I hate Samsung and their dumb software design choices, and this is one of them. Why do I need a SIM card to enable a hotspot whereas every other phone works without one? 3 weeks ago:
I find it hard to believe all your other phones could do this as it required dual antennas.

I had not done skyrim before but already im thinking I will do a future run (if I ever finish this one) with them.

- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Its said its better to give than recieve but for many folks its easier to give than to recieve. Accepting and appreciating something given in good faith is a good thing to cultivate in oneself. Unfortunately we tend to have a culture of mandatory gift giving and reciprocating that tends to result in a lot of junk being created. Its good to have something that is wanted and will be useful. Now if his friend holds it over him in some way then it will ruin the friendship but thats sorta fine as likely it was not a good one anyway, but lets hope that is not the case.
