I’ll never understand having a house that big. Guess I’m too poor or something, but seems like it would just be a pain in the ass.

This actually connects quite a bit for me. I was wondering why so many weird experiments popped up about magnets working/not working in water. Like why would anyone think they wouldn’t?

I just can’t even begin to reckon that view. I know he pulled back on it (see his quote I posted elsewhere), but aside from a child’s inability to consent, there’s a gigantic power disparity between an adult and a child. I just don’t get the logic on its very face. There’s no child out there that has the world experience to understand what is happening in that sort of situation.

If anything it’s just a gross oversimplification akin to a spherical cow in a vacuum (ie Assume a child with an adult brain, with world experience of an adult, and has the same relationship power as the adult. Also assume the adult that that is perfectly altruistic, has no alternative motives, and truly cares for the child on the same level as an adult relationship). It’s just so far beyond any real world scenario that I struggle to see how you could even logically come to the conclusion that it’s okay.

Many years ago I posted that I could not see anything wrong about sex between an adult and a child, if the child accepted it," Stallman wrote. "Through personal conversations in recent years, I’ve learned to understand how sex with a child can harm per [sic] psychologically. This changed my mind about the matter: I think adults should not do that. I am grateful for the conversations that enabled me to understand why.

Took me a bit to find, but also he talks about how the Minsky scandal was a-okay in that same article. So maybe I should say he mildly changed course instead of pulling a 180. Still a strange opinion to hold.

First you draw an S… for snake. Then draw a more different S. Then you draw a V with a top mark. Add a couple of legs and a couple of arms.

Didn’t he kind of pull a 180 on those VERY questionable views? Not even trying to refute that he is not right about everything, as that’s just silly, but I’m pretty sure he pulled back on that particular extremely dumb opinion.

Get the evidence before going to HR because there’s more than a small chance they are going to laugh while escorting you out if the building.

I think most foods. Soup, stew, and some sauces I’m fine with reheated/leftover. I still think it changes the flavor though and for sure screws with the texture. Air fryer/convection ovens make some things okay to reheat but again still screws with flavor/texture. I personally just would rather make meals fresh.

Some people just prefer meal prepping and that’s fine. There’s also a fairly sizable contingent of people that if you asked them if they could just take a pill instead of eating they would be perfectly happy doing so. It’s just not for me. I personally really like to cook and I also enjoy eating the things I cook. So I’m kind of on the other side of that spectrum.

See I grew up eating a lot of frozen stuff and I think that’s why I don’t like it. But you’re right it’s totally a matter of opinion. I also really enjoy cooking so that helps.

I think meal prepping sucks donkey balls and most food that is meal prepped tastes like crap after its sat in the fridge/freezer. I have been personally attacked on more than one occasion for bringing this up so I just don’t anymore.

My boss is like, “Okay cool.” I’m glad I have a good boss.

Oh man you threw me back to some great memories of my old man. We had a minivan when I was a kid and he built a little slide out/folding table that perfectly so he could work on it like a tailgate. I used kneel in the back seat facing backwards and watch him do whatever. Man that thing was amazing for camping too.

Dude was a pretty handy guy so not sure if that’s something you’d think about doing, but that shit was so cool and I haven’t seen anything like it since.

Look I’m not saying you’re wrong or anything just that I really don’t appreciate you stalking me.

I can’t imagine getting Taco Bell delivered. It kind of turns to greasy mush within like 5 minutes after making it. I don’t even like taking it home to eat because it gets bad so quickly.

Made fresh daily!

I just eat my food out of a trough.

There’s tons of botnets in countries that don’t care about cyber crime just waiting for this sort of thing to be put on the internet. They’d just autopwn as soon as it was discovered and don’t really give a shit since the cops can’t even touch them.

Anyone aware if they are also getting data from their slack for government offering? I was looking at the govslack site and I can’t tell one way or the other. While they claim to meet most of the big compliance regs I don’t see anything about training AI being included/excluded.

I know that stealing trade secrets is a concern but seems like stealing state secrets might have some other implications. I know you’re not supposed to talk on slack about any classified info, but that doesn’t mean that sensitive info isn’t shared which also has some rather profound implications as well.

Ohhhhhh. I should’ve guessed that. Sorry can be a bit dense sometimes.
