Easter 2, papal boogaloo

Sometimes people do things they know are wrong. Beating one’s child is pretty goddamn obviously wrong.

The irony of your post is that it would apply well to the child who indeed should be taught instead of physically abused (punished).

But why should society let abusers decide what the abused learn when the lessons being imparted are almost always self-serving.

We all make mistakes, we are all human, but sometimes the mistakes we make should have consequences that prevent future errors. Drive drunk? You shouldn’t have a license or a car. Shoot up a school? You shouldn’t have a gun, be near schools, or really even be in general society. Beat your child? You shouldn’t be around children

This is honestly the only way to predict what the man will do. Identify even the slightest personal advantage to his move.

Why run for president in 2024? To avoid jail. Why put tariffs on and off? To buy and sell stocks as the market bends to your tweets. Why act like a religious right wing weirdo? To have no personal accountability. Why pull out of nato? Because someone personally offended you. Why host political events at maralago? To make a quick buck renting out rooms. He’s so transparent it’s pitiful.

Funny, I’m opposed to the tariffs, and nationalism in general since globalism is simply more humane, but losing shareholder value is just fine in my book. Intel is grossly overvalued, and their participation in weapon component manufacturing reduces any sympathy to zero.

I do, however, have sympathy for the people who have their retirement in stocks which will inevitably include Intel, and for the employees, especially the underpaid.

Nihilist, insofar that even if there is a god (about as likely as me actually being a secret agent for moon people) why would it matter? While nihilism is not a religious belief I think it fits the prompt.

I made a poop the other day, I’m its creator, I don’t care about it, I don’t control its destiny beyond the flush.

I’m an optimistic nihilist, nothing matters and that’s kinda neato. Existence happens, how fascinating is that? It’s absolutely meaningless just like everything in the universe, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the ride.

For me when somebody apologizes a lot it feels as though there is a subtle belief that I am the type of person who would be annoyed by the things being apologized for. As though their apology implies that I am an impatient or otherwise short fused person.

It’s important to me that I am patient and forgiving so excessive apologies subtly make me feel like I may be projecting some impatience. Ironically the very activity of constant apologies does lead me to be slightly impatient, quite the conundrum.

I think it really depends on the home, get an inspection to try to see some of the problems beforehand and you won’t be caught too off guard.

For me water is the biggest thing, water in the basement, water through the roof, water by the window sills, it never ends! Every expense seems to be another 5k or 20k, owning a fixer upper is an expensive endeavor

The acab movement has caused more harm than it has salved. Furthering the ideas that there are no good cops means that nobody good will become a cop in the future, furthering the issue

Only band kids go to heck, their eternal punishment? Only sequels, no original film or book or tv show, just spin offs and sequels forever

Your environment has a tremendous impact on your emotions, in many cases depression is simply a chemical issue, kinda like a thunderstorm. Not much to do but prepare and seek shelter.

If you’re seeking to avoid general non chemical sadness then you should try to be around loving and kind people as much as possible, and seek solace in solitude when that’s not possible. Better thought patterns can lead to better outcomes as well.

Easiest way to figure this out is to analyze your own behavior when interacting with people you’re not interested in.

Your brain is inconsistent, use external tools to stay focused on your core thoughts better. Pick some thoughts that you want to stick with long term, I choose metacognition as my primary default thought topic, then if I need to redirect from something unpleasant I switch to that thought track.

Metacognition is a marathon, there isn’t one clear better methodology to improve everything about your thinking process, stay open and curious!

Oh my bad, my reading comprehension degrades with my expectations I guess

There was a state that banned Reddit?!

Do you think isolated communities could come up with reasonable resilience strategies? Can a mutual aid subculture exist for a long time within our current system as well?

More than fair, how much effort do we put in to make sure the ants have a comfortable life? Or even further, the tardigrades? I am on the optimistic side, hoping that a superintelligence holds a benevolent nostalgia/amusement for sentient life if it does indeed come to that.

There’s a chance that asi doesn’t happen and we stall indefinitely on a simple token prediction system, in which case the disruption could be limited to what we’ve seen already?

I do this on my ultra, token speed is not great, depending on the model of course, a lot of source code sets are optimized for Nvidia and don’t even use native Mac gpu without modifying the code, defaulting to cpu. I’ve had to modify about half of what I run
