There is no evidence to suggest that NATO could push Russia out of Ukraine in conventional warfare. The Russians and their allies are WAY better prepared for that war, and it would immediately turn into the third world war, not remain “NATO

The actual situation is way more complex still than you claim. You take this weird stance where the Russian heads of state are evil, Ukrainian/US/NATO heads of state are not, Russian soldiers might or might not be, and Ukrainian s

None of the corporations I’ve been part of have been doing “abhorrent” things. You’re projecting your socialist ideology.

That is beyond terrible. Are you joking? I feel sad that I spent a minute reading that.

Tracking and weighing everything is a massive waste of time and energy. There are no obese animals (humans included) in the wild. Just stop eating the wrong things. I maintain a muscular 225 by eating dairy, eggs, and meat. If I want to dro

I have a good enough reason to call those people “woke” instead of calling them “people who believe in a cultural approach that seeks to identify and rectify invisible social inequalities based on genetic attributes like race, sex, and sexu

Writing in laws that allow you to selectively take out whoever is convenient at any time is lawmaking 101. Of course lawfare is the tool of the democrats, and not republicans, like you seem to believe.

It’s of course always possible that you are the blind one. Maybe one day you’ll grow out of it.

Worth noting that the exact same applies for environment friendliness, sustainability, pride month, etc.

I’d argue this as well. I eat mainly meat and other animal products, and get by on less than $10 a day just fine while hitting optimal nutrition. Trying to gather a cheap and healthy nutrition profile from random items in a grocery store is

Being an extroverted libertarian, I sort of struggle with this topic. What are we supposed to do with people who can’t take care of their own mental health? Force them? Wait until they become a burden on the rest of us? It seems to me like

Insurance prices aren’t made up, they’re calculated based on probable costs.

I think you’re the epitome of “you can’t please everyone”.

I think it’s just the latest fad neurodivergent people push on each other.

How did you get this from GP’s comment? They’re saying the exact opposite in plain as day terms.

Many would argue that there is no such thing as meaningless sex. I’m of the opinion that arguing for the existence of such thing is naive and idiotic.

Another post where I get to tell a skeptic that they’re failing at using these products. There will be human programmers in the future as well, they just won’t be ones who can’t use LLMs.

You ask what the LLM is going to do. It’s going to swallow the entire code base in context and allow any developer to join those 4 people in generating production grade code.

This is the same as climate change. Something might happen sometime in the future.

I'm not sure why I forgot perhaps the most important; charity!

Since this inverse correlation with birth rates and GDP is observed everywhere in the world, I'm certain we're not speaking of a cultural issue.

Like any other service, you’ll just pay for it with your money.

The somewhat obvious thing you seem to be missing there is that the money isn’t being extracted by force.

Democracy in the US works quite well, although it is a shame that your guy lost.

Another person has tried to rationally explain to you why your position is unhinged and you weren’t taking it, so I’ll put this more plainly. Take up arms today to defend your ideology. Rally everyone you can and go to war. It won’t be a lo
