My impression as someone from Europe is that people wouldn’t even care if Trump started any war, as long as it isn’t named “Civil War” or “WW3”

Wait, really? Whenever I spend more time at work or at home I tend to forget how many really attractive people are really out there. Whenever I go out after a long period of time I end up being positively surprised. I would also not look at Tinder as an example, but because of the opposite: people on tinder look much uglier than in real life. But then again, usually outside you don’t look at people for more than one or two seconds, while on tinder there’s loads of photos for you to examine every single flaw

I would assume that if they want to make the world a better place, they admit that their actions have long-reaching impact, which is not really a feature of nihilism, optimistic or not

But I’m not an expert, do what you want

ChatGPT can be super useful, but I’m kind of worried about people learning to use it exclusively.

I tried helping a PhD student assemble a set up for measuring transistors. He used ChatGPT to do all the code for the software control (python), which is fine, even if he relied on it to fix every single part of his code when a quick trip to the reference manuals of the equipments would solve the problem instantly.

At a certain point I realized I maybe had misunderstood his set up design and asked him “wait, which device do you want to connect to your gate? Which terminal even is the gate?”

And I kid you not, the dude asked ChatGPT which terminal in his device was the gate

(he also reeked of weed so there’s that)

That’s actually pretty neat. I tried Kobold AI a few months ago but the novelty wore off quickly. You made me curious, I’m going to check out that option once I get home. Is it just a toggleable opyiont option or do you have to mess with some hidden settings?

Don’t you usually do a “Heathcliff with Heathcliff” strip whenever Gallagher decides to omit the titular character from his strip? Am I missing a hidden Heathcliff here? Ooh, is it Where’s Waldo with Heathcliff?

I also think that when I see people of that age married or with kids. But I think it’s just because of our different life experiences.

I opted to enroll in a PhD right after graduating and so, at 30, I still feel like my life isn’t at a point when I can start thinking about kids or marriage. But I know a lot of people enter relatively stable jobs as soon as they graduate university (or high school, although in my circles everyone went to university - it’s not as expensive as in the US here). I can understand people in that position starting to think about family earlier than me.

I just want you to know this is one of the most beautiful comments I’ve ever read, and it came from a random comment section from an ok comic strip. So much so that I upvoted it once I saw it and came back hours later just to save it.

I did not read all of this yet. But I always agreed with you on that housing as an investment was the crux of the problem, I just never knew exactly how to tackle it. Your write-up is great, and even if there are many issues that could arise from some of the implementation ideas, it’s an amazing beginning to a conversation we should have been having for at least decades.

Thank you very much! I will save this comment to come back to often.

Were there Duolingo speedrunning communities in other websites like Reddit and Twitter, or is this something you’re trying to get off the ground?

Wait, I don’t understand. Is there context I’m missing or am I just dense?

You’re the badass stoich character from fantasy stories!

They aren’t fake, they’re just rare

Not necessarily today. You never know!

The answer, according to the original definition of meme: yes

I can’t watch videos right now. What is this? DLC? Any highlights?

I liked messing around with openbox but I’m very aesthetically challenged so I never managed to make it look good. Any tips?
