I dunno, I may be stupid but I think we still need confirmation

There definitely exist craptops with 64GB of emmc storage, and they can’t update past a certain point. It’s hilarious but also such a waste of everything involved. Thankfully Linux exists, but less than thankfully these still take minutes to boot into Ubuntu or any other distro.

I’m pretty sure Isaac Asimov said that all androids are gay so this is like a betrayal of the fundamental spirit of robots

Some people just don’t have the capability to hold back, and I don’t think it’s necessarily fair to have their side lose an argument on principle just like that, especially if they do actually face an injustice. In petty drama like relationship issues there are techniques of coaxing the underlying problem out of people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to articulate themselves, for example nonviolent communication. Its main system is that you find out via targeted questioning what emotions you’re feeling, and which needs (satisfied or unsatisfied) contribute to those feelings (loneliness, sadness, frustration <- the need for human connection is unsatisfied), and why those needs are in the state they are (for example your partner has paid a little less attention to you because work recently became more stressful, or the current political climate is stressful). After figuring out the root causes you do some brainstorming to figure out targeted solutions, and often you can find solutions that satisfy everybody’s needs. The key to it is its unique way of communicating with each other, which takes effort but is often exactly what you need. And as I mentioned, it often has a magical effect on people who somehow just can’t seem to solve their own problems, usually due to chronic miscommunication. It’s definitely a learned skill, but it helps a ton. 10/10 would recommend.

As a species it is imperative that we uncover every mystery, find enlightenment around every corner. We will not be constrained by ignorance.

In case you’re legitimately wondering about the acronym, it’s multi-factor authentication

I understand, but people also have very different standards of communication clarity. There are a lot of hidden assumptions, even when you’re trying to be 100% clear. Sometimes people can’t put their thoughts into words, or they don’t have the capacity for what you think is clarity. And in this case it’s just a very minor mistake. The person might not be native, or they may have been failed by their education system, or they might just be tired or stressed. There are lots of valid reasons why communication can degrade. I’m a bit autistic and struggle with ambiguous meaning or communication that doesn’t fit patterns I’m used to, sometimes to a truly irrational degree, and I’d like for others to speak my language more so I can understand them better, and I’d like to be able to speak their language more, to make them understand me better, but it’s just sort of the way of life. People are very fluid beings, not at all tied to rigid logic. People are also all very different, and their efforts all come in different forms. They emphasize different things, focus on different things, not just communication efficiency. What I’ve learned too with other autistic people is that everyone’s standards for communication clarity are different. I don’t think you can speak a universal language that everybody understands perfectly 100% of the time. What does happen is that people who talk to each other often learn each other’s language, able to talk more concisely and efficiently, but you can’t really expect that of strangers on the internet. Of course “birds of a feather flock together” as they say. People in the same internet communities might have the same interests, consume the same media, have the same discussions with the same people. But there’s no getting around communication degrading. In the worst case you just have to ask someone what they mean, maybe clearly explain your issue with the ambiguities, and wait for disambiguation. Learning to ask precise questions so as to elicit the best response from someone, to immediately get the answer you seek, is also a lifelong challenge. It’s not worth getting upset about a single instance of degraded communication, if you can even call it that. I’d be more upset with the universe for making us all so very different.

multi-track drifting! also if you can understand another person, isn’t that the whole point of communication?

you must be the physical embodiment of the map reduce, channeling your inner ingredient to sandwich pipeline. alternatively find a partner who can do it for you. probably tastes better that way.

dehumanization is generally ill advised, but sometimes it just makes so much sense

pretty sure AA and AAA studio execs can also organize and collectively agree on an $80 or higher price tag until it eventually sticks

kind of small for that. I would expect more goblin size if it was a baby abyssal demon. they need the body weight to embody the abyss.
