I mean you don’t necessarily need to ask her out to talk to her about the whole situation, right? Think of it as collaborating together to solve a problem. I feel like in these kinds of situations sometimes just talking to the other person to figure things out helps even from an information perspective, because without talking to them you operate on assumptions about what they are thinking or feeling, and once you do talk to them you know a bit more about what’s going on. It can be scary to bring up though. Also, if it were to turn into a relationship, how you can handle complicated situations like this matters, right? Better to start things off on the right foot with a collaborative discussion on solving a problem.

Hellraiser! Great movie.

I saw a project yesterday where the two main contributors were some guy and ‘Claude’. So, y’know, that one at least was an easy tell 😂

I think just getting to know someone and judging them based on who they are is a lot more important. Rather than trying to suss out someone’s group affiliations (like if they are part of ICE), why not simply pay attention to how they treat others and the kind of actions they take when faced with challenges? They will naturally show their embodied values and beliefs, and you can then make an informed decision on whether you want to associate with that person or not.

Essentially I think we should be judging people individually. Rather than trying to figure out what kind of person someone is based on their aesthetic choices like stickers or tattoos, see if they treat others with compassion. Everyone makes mistakes and does bad things sometimes, but the people worth sticking around usually recognize when they do, feel remorse, and work on it.

Sounds like the game wasn’t exactly finished. Plus its just one project they finished at a studio, they could certainly have used the employees to work on a different new project.

Kinda just DARVO, isn’t it?

Tencent is huge as well. Though only around 50% of their revenue is from gaming.

There are discord-matrix bridges the last I checked, but I never got around to actually setting one up so not sure how difficult that would be. Also not sure what limitations there are.

Eh, for desktop I’d say we’re just about there now. For people who don’t use their computers for much more than gaming and web browsing Bazzite works pretty great. Helped a friend who doesn’t do much more than that build a PC and install an OS and they seem to be doing fine with it, no complaints so far.

I watched this video essay on this topic not too long ago that I really enjoyed (one of the best video essays I’ve seen so far imo) that I think you might find really helpful and insightful as well! If you end up watching it, let me know what you think: https://youtu.be/4d0Q64SQujY

Yes, exactly. Its killing problem solving ability and learning. Taking the extra time to search around and figure things out helps you learn. Not to mention its poisoning its own well, making legitimate answers harder and harder to find on the web.

Yes the literacy rate has actually been dropping IIRC.

Sure but at what energy cost? Compared to a human brain it would be incredibly energy inefficient.

Good to see a caring take about BPD out in the wild 🙂 People see it at some evil, terrible thing, but with therapy its gone into remission for me and is quite a lot more manageable! Yea, having that loving community around you makes a huge difference in quality of life. Takes some time and effort to build and find the right people, but boy is it worth it.

Outside of the states I assume? In the states the left-most lane is the passing lane.

Google used to have something like this where you ‘paid as you went’ by outbidding other advertisers for ad slots on websites. Only worked for google ads, though, and being a google product it was killed eventually…
