  But… why? Just give me the full image.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brad buys a house⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Write name, but sloppily. My brain will always be lazy in the same way, so the signature just ends up looking approximately the same every time. So basically, lots of squigglies too, but I’ll get the ascenders and descenders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are fossil fuels vegan?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re pretty much all made of plant matter, but that’s irrelevant. What makes it vegan or not is whether you cause harm to the fauna by using it and creating demand for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OK. I'm at wit's end attempting to convince Google's LLM to pronounce an English name correctly.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure whatever voice system you’re using is just translating things to text and feeding it into an LLM, so it wouldn’t actually have that audio data. I’m not aware of any audio equivalent of LLMs existing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mandatory self-reflection hours⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Notion does that too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a federated alternative to Wikipedia?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What benefit would there be to federation? You can already download all of Wikipedia, and you can host your own wiki.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who are the "middle class" supposed to support in the class stuggle?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Housing mostly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Truck go 💥🚚⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would assume that for operating expensive vehicles like this, you get training on how to use them properly to avoid these kinds of issues. Flipped because they ignored protocol? Well, you already tried teaching them and it didn’t take. Try someone else. Did something unexpected come up to make this happen? Now that’s potentially valuable knowledge that you want to keep in your crew.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My brother got arrested for a dime bag. His picture got put up on the jails website. And they advertise. So shouldn't my brother get paid at least a little for providing clicks?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see how it prevents anyone from getting disappeared. All they have to do is not add them to the database.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't they have simpler names for brain disorders, where perhaps even the person suffering the disorder might be able to remember the term themself?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think what this is telling us is that OP hangs out in circles where no one knows what dementia is, so it seems like a complicated word for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't they have simpler names for brain disorders, where perhaps even the person suffering the disorder might be able to remember the term themself?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The fewer syllables you use, the fewer words you can make. There are too many disorders out there to give them all simple names in an unambiguous way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I "sabotage" my own online content to throw a wrench in AI training machines?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only quality that LLMs really need is that the data is human-made.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🏹🏹🏹⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Confusing-ass perspective. It looks like all the archers are standing with their left foot forward and holding the bow in their right hand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would guess it has something to do with the loss of third places.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Macaroni and cheese⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The more cheese, the better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to meet girls at college⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t they? The culture might be different in different schools or different generations, but I’ve made quite a few friends just by chatting with people in the lecture halls before class.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real Talk⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t need a package at all. I just define a new command \xxx{stuff} that changes the colour to red. It’s a one-liner. Copy and paste that into any new document. Changing the colour without a custom command is equally trivial, but this allows you to search for “xxx” to find anything you might’ve missed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tweet Dreams⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “I bet he’s thinking about boobies”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What weight would you this to be at 4’11?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why does this matter? Are you happy with how you look? Are you happy with the state of your health? Those are the questions you should be asking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well that didn't work out as planned⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bad negotiator, implying that he got a bad deal on the bus? Implying that he owns the bus that he drives? Is this another US thing where employers require you to purchase the vehicle before you can work for them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sandwiches for sale! Can’t afford it? No problem! 30% discount. I’ll just cut it and toss one of the halves in the trash for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re just talking about doing a diaper change. I don’t know how you can call that “stacking a caregiver hard”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broccoli Blooms⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Raw, it’s a little spicy, similar to radishes. Boiled, it’s very sweet. It can take the place of carrots and turnips in soups.

  The simplest preparation that’ll give you an idea of how the ingredients tastes on its own: cut into thin slices and boil in water with a bit of salt and msg (I personally like to use chicken stock).

  The outer layer is very tough and fibrous, so make sure to get rid of that first. Depending on the quality of the bulb, you might also end up with one that’s fibrous throughout. Those are not pleasant to eat, and if you happen to get one of those, I assure you that it’s not a typical experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re spending that time doing diaper changes. They’re not attending to the other kids regardless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Isn't Batman's questioning Superman because he is an unknown entity basically the same reason Lex Luthor has against Superman?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the logic behind having plans for taking down an evil version of yourself? Who watches for that to carry out the plan when the time comes? What’s the plan if that person becomes evil and now has the means to combat non-evil Batman? Does he have a plan for that too? Because if so, evil Batman will also have it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI claims new GPT-5 model boosts ChatGPT to ‘PhD level’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It wasn’t that long ago that it was unfathomable for anything other than humans to be able to do this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cutting sucks⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess it wasn’t clear what I was responding to. I edited my comment with the quote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cutting sucks⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone has different nutritional needs. If you’re doing chicken and protein, it’s probably because it’s much easier to measure out an exact amount of macronutrients to fit your needs and fill up the rest on broccoli to make it as satiating as needed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cutting sucks⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A whole chicken breast during a famine? That sounds luxurious. I was under the impression that animal protein was incredibly rare.
