It is the weekend, of course there is a threat. Tomorrow there will be a deal.

We taught men to be women and women to be men. Hopefully the tide shifts and we go back to sanity.

"people are conservative". Perfect, not allowing same sex marriage is now "conservative". This is how fickle people are, perfect example.

Edit: Just as a side note, I saw western people bend over backwards to please people when I went to Japan. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy some treatment they get will be positive when you behave in such a way (like a guy bowing 5 times just for getting his photo taken, stuff that would never happen to anyone else) almost embarrassing really.

The people who voted for Trump are going to tell you how to be civilised. It is peak irony. So many rights are going to be taken over time and there doesn't seem to be self-awareness. Oh well, self-inflicted damage.

I wonder when people will stop being scared to speak out. Is it once they lose their job due to stolen data? Is it once Palantir decides they are a threat and they lose their freedom? Is it once they lose their own land? Is it after starting the 10th war?

It loses its signal once you reach triple digits. You don't want someone with <80 but it tells you nothing about someone with 120 or 160.

If we could return to one-off payments without dark patterns I would agree. Hopefully at least the software that rely on grift will start to vanish.

>with all vibe coding in the world today you still need at least 6 months full time to build a nice note taking app.

Bad example, note apps loaded with features are anti-productive and are for people who treat note taking as a hobby itself.

You have Obsidian anyway if you want something open source to work with.

I'm so glad I visit different countries to see what they are actually like so I don't get brainwashed into thinking GDP is anywhere near of good measure as people think it is.

Meanwhile the US is lifting sanctions on Russian oil while Russia bombs Ukraine. Turns out peace or democracy is not what they care about, it is regional dominance for Israel.

I truly believe they are all psychopaths and the rest of it is theatre for the masses. A good guy vs bad guy narrative is easy to sell and distracts people from the fact that human life is not valued by any of them.

Obviously there is some level of memorisation involved. That's why you can even get LLMs to write parts of Harry Potter from scratch with perfect precision.

You are always making predictions based on the context. That's why illusions can be so effective like these ones: https://illusionoftheyear.com/cat/top-10-finalists/2024/

Are you muslim? In the real world most muslims are not that religious and hardly follow what is taught to perfect precision. They would not be able to answer the difference except in vague terms at best.

Only people who live on social media believe these extreme views to be true. Most muslims hardly even know the difference or care.

Don't worry, if you say maniac and islamist enough times everyone will understand your view point and change their minds about what it means to blow up middle eastern countries.
