REEEE MM/DD/YYYY Burn it with fire

I’m absolutely fascinated with Roman history. But anyone who actually admires the Roman Empire is fucked in the head.

• Step 1. Be courteous
• Step 2. Interact with people in general
• Step 3. Ask our the people you’re genuinely interested in, and feel you have some kind of connection with, respectfully, knowing rejection is okay

Repeat until you get a date.

Being attractive helps a lot. Obviously. But you can put effort into your appearance. More than anything your personality is the thing that will get you a date.

Having tried Tinder 12 years ago, once, around the time I became an adult, why you’d choose it over asking people out in real life is beyond me. Especially if you’re not very attractive.

The meta is all off haha

I so very much disagree on this one. Yes they’ve used AI, but this is a hilarious use of AI.

Being an outsider I thought non credible defence was just memes about military things, are they specifically pro US imperialism?

Just an international correction to compensate for the US’ Overton Window:

Tesla was built on left wing progressive ideals*

*wealthy believers of climate change.

“Left-wing” is such a polluted term now lol.

If Tesla was built on left-wing progressive ideals it would be a workers co-op focusing on quality. It’s always been a for-profit company from day one.

Last I checked you can only thread a conversation one level down from the channel and that’s it (when I last used it like 5 years ago).

To me that’s practically unusable for what it’s supposed to be. Slack even does a better job, in my opinion.

The difference is locks on doors truly are just security theatre in most cases.

Unless you’re the BiLock and it takes the LockPickingLawyer 3 minutes to pick it open.

Yaaaaaaaaas queeeeen

The state. It’s literally how this works in other countries. (Victoria, Australia, anyway)

Wait, this ISN’T how it works where you live?

Where I live (in Victoria, Australia), the bond is held in trust by the residential tenancies bond authority. At the end of the lease the landlord can try make a claim, but you can take them to VCAT (a small claims tribunal) to argue against it, and until either all parties agree, or the court orders it, the bond doesn’t get paid out to anyone.

Our laws are far from good, and still favour owners too much, but damn. Just trusting them to pay you out of their own pocket?

Sure, but I’m still feeling like complaining that there isn’t a business that’s made affordable pay-to-search a thing. (That I know of)

I’m not taking back that $120 USD/year for search is way more than most people would be willing to pay

Though yeah, I suppose saying their business model isn’t working was hyperbolic, I must admit.

The business model just doesn’t make sense then (using search partners).

Because $60, let alone $120 US, a year is far more than most people would be willing to pay.

Dunno what to say, it’s just more than most people can justify paying for the service.

I’m gonna stick with DuckDuckGo and the newly free mullvad cached search

Old man yells at cloud these damn Americans using “ironic” when they mean “sarcastic”

I’d happily pay for search, but Kagi is way too expensive.

10 searches a day, for $5/month? (US)

Like, that is way too much.

I can receive thousands and send thousands of emails per day for that price. Is search really that much more expensive?

AI can’t imagine an image full glass of wine because there are barely any images of that in any dataset out there. AI can’t think, just massage it’s dataset into something vaguely plausible.

In fairness, people were much more communal than society is now. And there’s a bunch of stuff that we did for most of human history that is no longer the norm. Even something simple as a “phone” no longer means what it used to.

I think you’re gonna have to take the L that a “school” by default is not at home in the modern world.

Public school are schools run/funded by the public (the government)

Private schools are run/funded by private businesses.

These are schools.

No one refers to your home schooling as a “school”. We refer to what you’re doing as home schooling.

Sorry bud.

This is fair, however, not ubiquitous and all their servers are expected to place nice with others.

Thank god email is federated, and not locked down to a particular company

It’s very common, but in Australia at least, not ubiquitous.

And obviously businesses mostly do not
