  • [Serious] What's your hot take?

    Jump

  • If your political opinion begins with "why don't we just..." then its a bad political opinion.

    If we could just, we would have already just. If you think you're the only one with the capacity to see a simple answer - newsflash, you're not a political genius. Its you who doesn't understand the complexity of the problem.

    What's the best possible justification for vandalizing a library?

    Jump

  • You should give a shit, because it means now the library has to waste its money cleaning it, instead of funding programs or new books. Libraries losing funding makes the world worse. These people made the world worse.

  • How about I spray "Free Palestine" into your fucking mouth? You wouldn't mind right? I'm sure you'd be talking about that.

  • Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?

    Jump

  • Yep. This is one of those posts that should have just been a web search instead.

  • Recommendation Algorithms & Advertising - Where do you draw the line?

    Jump

  • I'm on the extreme end. Any kind of "recommendations" are an immediate and complete turn off for me. Not just the obvious stuff like "sponsored" posts or "algorithmic social media" feeds. I abhor and avoid even things like Spotify recommendations, which most people consider useful.

    Whether they intend it or not, these engines are built to funnel you back into the lowest common denominator, most broadly appealing stuff, because that's what the algorithm sees gets the most clicks from the average person. Sure, everyone likes oatmeal, but that's because its bland and inoffensive.

    I want to find my own shit through my own idiosyncratic process.

  • Microsoft in damage-control mode, says it will prioritize security over AI

    Jump

  • To reinforce the shift in company culture toward "empowering and rewarding every employee to find security issues, report them," and "help fix them," Smith said that Nadella sent an email out to all staff urging that security should always remain top of mind.

    Yeah that ought to do it.

  • What's your favorite underrated band?

    Punk isn't dead, it just put on a dress and moved to Japan

  • How do you see yourself in your imagination?

    Jump

  • My brain has coalesced around this fantasy version of who I was when I was 25.

    I'm in my 30s now but when I imagine myself that's who I picture. And funny enough that person wasn't even who I was at that age. I was way insecure about so many of the things I now think back on fondly. Getting older is a funny thing.

  • "If you don't like it don't fly"

    Seriously just shut up.

    Edit: LMAO just saw your other comment where you actually said this sincerely. You're a parody of yourself.

  • What are your ideal temperature and weather conditions?

    Jump

  • 60°F. Not raining, but misting.

    This is why I live in the PNW.

  • I jokingly said "1999 Honda Fit" so many times that now they call me asking about that fictional car.

    Does Trump being found guilty actually matter?

    Jump

  • Your question implies the answer is black and white, but its not. Its very complicated and uncertain and we've got to take a nuanced view of things.

    Obviously it's not gonna sway anyone who's gonna vote for him

    Its not this black and white. According to a poll: "only 4% of Trump’s supporters said they would withdraw their backing if he’s convicted of a felony, though another 16% said they would reconsider it." https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/6-months-out-tight-presidential-race-trump-biden-poll/story?id=109909175

    This may or may not affect things - depends on how it plays out and where since swing districts usually decide preseidential electons.

    is there any actual way this keeps him from office

    There's multiple ways it could influence things beyond just changing voting decisions. It could lead to the campaign spending more money on legal fees for appeal and therefore less on ads, campaign rallies etc. It could also have the opposite effect of firing up Trump's base and leading to more donations, more votes and potentially political violence.

    Its a situation that's never happened before, and its very complicated and uncertain. Anyone who says they have the answer is trying to sell you the fantasy of certainty in an uncertain world.

  • What's the most alarming experience you've had with a stranger?

    Jump

  • I had a similar experience. I was maybe 17, driving alone at night to choir practice. Stopped at a red light on an empty street and a guy walked straight up to my car and tried to open the passenger door. It was locked and thankfully the light turned green a second later. I peeled out.

    Human beings are FUCKED.

  • What skill or talent took you longer than it should have to learn?

    Jump

  • Drawing. I tried so hard in school, practiced regularly, and never got better. I'm in my 30s now and my DND group still makes fun of me when I draw anything other than walls on the wet erase mat.

  • What reading style do you consider more tedious to read, A) short, concise, and precise, but using non-layperson vocabulary, B) using layperson vocabulary, but it's longer, drawn out, and not precise?

    Jump

  • A if I know the vocabulary. B if I don't.

    Its all about the audience.

  • Yeah :) I actually am going to reach FI myself next year at 33 y/o. Was hoping to hear this person's story since its a concept I'm very interested in.
