You’ve moved my opinion on this definitely, I have never been inside that world, but I engage with it all the time because of my work.

Rather than being something strange and wrong, it’s just a thing that works, and that’s why you guys adopt it. Like rubber duck programming.

Oh no, I’m the first person who told you this behavior is weird huh. I’m sorry.

Sure, I might even give those people some grace over the people who use it cause they want to be Jared Leto, or one of Jared Leto’s sex cult friends in the book.

It’s actually still a red flag, unfortunately. The only people who use Grok have a terrible understanding of other people, like the dude in this article. That’s part of the problem. Either you’re jumping off the same bridge as your weirdo colleagues, you identify with the nudist-cult Martian, or you have such trouble being understood, or understanding neurotypical people, you think you need a new word.

It’s like people who use Na’vi, you can make up anything and say it’s anything and people who have trouble with reality will identify themselves by using that nonsense in normal conversation. You’re never gonna make fetch happen, it’s just tedious.

There is no problem with having read the book, there’s no problem with liking it. I did both, the first time i read it I thought it was cool. I’m more taking about people who made the nude sex cult book part of their personality enough to use the word grok unironically.

People using the word “grok” has always been a red flag. The people who read stranger in a strange land and identified with it so much they started using the word are fucking weirdos. The book is about a child adopted by Martians who inherited their reality-bending mind powers, comes back to earth as an adult and creates a nudist sex cult. Basically Jared Leto. I’m not joking, that’s the book.

It was always elder developers who didn’t wear shoes and had trouble with personal space.

I’m sorry, that’s totally fair, I don’t mean to sound dickish. They can’t hit zero. Australia is a model for how bad invasive cats can get, and the cat is already out of the bag, so to speak. They either target aggressive goals, which are primarily culling mixed with chemical and some limited physical spay/neutering programs. But when you are talking bang for buck, it’s really easy to look to culling primarily.

Spay nueter programs are much more expensive and usually donor funded. You gotta do a lot to an animal to even modestly safely remove it’s sex organs, especially females. I wouldn’t be surprised if they pop up in NZ, privately funded, in addition to the other programs. Desexing is still is the best way to deal with an active colony with a food source, you are right.

That’s when you are trying to control the population. These are invasive species, worse than that, invasive predators. Eradication and control are two different things.

Neither of those solves the problem entirely, but an eradication aims to keep the population of invasive species much lower than control. Any amount of invasive predators, especially as effective as feral cats, needs to be controlled.

Feral cats and pet cats are just two different things, like feral pigs and wild pigs. Even pet cats need to be tightly controlled, every bird a pet cat kills is multiplied in aggregate, these things we love are absolutely brutal.

I agree with you, but also the communist bad vs capitalist bad meme war and the corresponding comments are the only reason I’m still on the fediverse.

With no conservative presence to speak of, you get to see why no unity is possible between groups of any significant size. Leftists will continue to shatter into smaller groups and those groups will vie for dominance inside of the movement. Each group will develop purity tests to identify members.

Even amongst groups of capitalists, even amongst groups of communists, even amongst groups of lgbtq+ people and the sub groups to which they apply. Especially when those groups interact.

The human animal is amazing! The only thing most people agree on is violence is required to move society in any significant direction. That tells you everything you need to know about humans.

Wait till you find out how they are training their humanoid robots. I’m not joking.

Xitter deletes critical notes all the time. The critical note only stays if it doesn’t offend someone that can talk directly to Elon.

Highly recommend Cachy as well. The only issues I’ve had running games are the games that do funky windows calls, like checking if edge is installed, before running well.

You think Geneva convention is part of the establishment democrats in any way, shape or form… dude, I don’t know how to tell you this, these people are communists.

You’re not in some liberal conspiracy, to them YOU are the liberal conspiracy.

I think it was the totenkopf? Like I’ve read multiple times the dude referred to as “my totenkopf”. Even if this is a bad judgment thing keeping it that long, that’s not ok. Like I don’t agree with everything Geneva says, but they nailed this one.

They did, there was a lot of backlash against anti-nazis, especially pre-holocaust. Partially because nazi propoganda was so effective across the world. But also partially because anti-Semitism was practically mainstream across the world.

US famously rejected a boat of 900 jewish and other German refugees cause 1 dude lied (these people would be sent back and 40% of them would later die in the holocaust). We were terrified of foreign spies, which is an attitude that culminated in it internment of the Japanese. We were offered Jewsih refugees many times, including like 20,000 children, we rejected them.

Right, this is a bit too little too late. I’m glad they’re approaching the correct stance, but damn where we’re you.

“In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories:”

Yes, crime dramas are good, I also watch them! SVU brought the angry guy back, he’s bald now tho.

Chris Rock is awesome, they hired him to be hilarious and he was. In no world is Will’s 2nd reaction to the funny but lightly tasteless joke (man if they had waited to respond after the Oscar’s, they would have eviscerated Chris Rock instead) appropriate. Again it was another performance, and you fell for it cause somehow you are putting both their actions on the same playing field. They aren’t, no majority of people think that way either. Again that’s why Will is going through this, he is the villain.

Also you need to stop watching TV and movies, police and the DA have the ultimate authority to press charges in the US and they do it all the time. The law isn’t not-broken cause one party didn’t press charges. That’s honestly kinda adorable. The reason he didn’t get arrested is cause he’s more rich and famous than the guy he hit, and arresting him would have been more embarrassing for the event in the moment than doing nothing. As Chris Rock once said “If OJ drove a bus, he’d be Orenthal the bus driving murderer.” A normal person would have received legal consequences.

You are telling on yourself, majority of weirdos have odd opinions on violence!
