Well yeah, like the intelligent and capable kind of genocide, but surely not the racist kind

Yeah it’s hard to say. There are, at least, a couple of things you can do to mitigate the problem without any professional help

Sleep apnea is also a potential

If your diet isn’t particularly great I would make a serious consideration to changing your diet, especially if you’re getting into your 30s. Lower your carb intake. Get lots of fiber and protein in you consistently.

The greatest thing about capitalism is infinite competition. Ok wait no you’re competing too good stop STOP

The hardons haven’t been colliding fast enough. Sorry boys, I don’t make the rules

Yeah I mean, probably pretty likely it’s going to bust and return to a more realistic level until we really sort out how to utilize AI effectively. I imagine it being similar to the .com bust (and look at the internet/web now).

Nvidia is gonna be fine regardless, I’m sure.

My PMC lanyard-type ex, who also cried when Elizabeth Warren had to drop out in 2020. I’m still unsure why she got so mad when I got drunk and called her a fucking lib

An absurd amount of marketing, mainly. Very easy to shove YA/childrens books down kids throats, they don’t have a lot of natural exposure to literature. Fuck, eragorn was the best example of the YA industry pushing a bad series (they even tried a movie series), I remember loaning it from my school library and being legitimately confused as to why it was becoming popular. I ended up finding a weird romance+fantasy series at the time that I largely consider as not being actually good, but remember finding it way more engaging. Maybe it’s better now that kids are largely terminally online.

It’s really my biggest gripe with it. There’s better fantasy, better wizard centric fantasy, and better YA books out there. It’s not great by any means, and I’m not surprised that I dropped the series without finishing it as a kid because I was reading much better stuff by the time the last few books came out.

It’s definitely not your problem to deal with people’s marital status, although if you have personal moral qualms that’s fine (I personally refuse to involve myself with people who are having relationship issues and have turned down a number of people over it (I’m not a sex worker)). In the end it’s work and you getting by, and whatever positives can be taken from it are cool and good.

I’ve definitely seen the toll sex work has taken on others, though, and it sucks. I often think about it in terms of the damage my own labor has done to me, and that fuels a lot of desires to upend the system. I have a friend in the business that cannot help but shame or critique whatever interactions I have with women, and constantly fluctuates between hating men and returning to dating them, and I feel awful for her knowing that it’s very related to not only her personal history but also the work that she now does to support herself. I mostly worry for her overall safety and her future.

It’s all very complicated, and in a better world at least we could ensure that the women doing this work are not being economically coerced into it. But so many of us are forced into a similar trade off anyways

You are not a bad leftist. There is no criticism we should give sex workers while we live under capitalism, only in a system that has already guaranteed much greater amounts of economic equality can the idea of abolishing sex work be tackled, and anyone who says otherwise kind of sucks.

And yes, your work is honestly incredibly similar to therapy (I’ve had to hear so many stories from friends in sex work) and is actually very real work, and can be very personally rewarding. Just stay safe!

Reminds me

Very easy if it was an earlier model, although I’ve seen some of the newer modchips make soldering about as simplified as possible (but still kinda hard, it’s a tiny board to be fiddling with). I literally hacked my current switch with some aluminum foil and tape (my jig broke, I guess), and besides all that all you need is a decent microsd card and the willingness to follow directions

What the fuck are you talking about, have you even looked at his posting history? Save this bullshit for Reddit

It’s her turn

Wow 🥰

He’s coming and he will photograph your hog!

You took the time to mull on it and then came back and edited this post, which I’m pretty sure was just the same very over used emoji you’ve plastered all over this thread, and you really think this proves I’m the one seething here?

Cope, loser.

Immensely funny, actually. Have fun seething over losing to China in every proceeding decade of your life
