Five years ago today my AFAB child went hard core in dressing as me for Halloween. This was their makeup test day. I was shocked when a few months later they came out to us. I am not a smart man....
Yes, this is what makes you sound like a wonderful father. That you didn’t see it as even optional. None of us are experts on things we haven’t experienced before 😊
I think people like you are a hair from being as insane as the people they lock up.
Since I fully agree with what the commenter you’re replying to said, I’ll assume you’re lumping me into that group too.
Sure, call me insane. Call me crazy. Call me fucking nuts and say I need a straight jacket. Whatever floats your boat.
You’re not one of the people that can lock me up though and it’s pretty clear why. So just remember that “crazy” motherfuckers like me are driving next to you on the freeway, shopping behind you in the grocery store, living down the hall, etc. We could lose it at any point!
Fear of what you don’t understand and ignoring expert opinions are destroying society. Which side of that would you like to be on?
Plus, you’re talking to another human being, it’s just fucking disrespectful.
Serve Robotics, which delivers food for Uber Eats, provided footage filmed by at least one of its robots to the LAPD as evidence in a criminal case. The emails show the robots, which are a constant sight in the city, can be used for surveillance....
Yeah they really buried some critical information on this one. I get the point of the article about general surveillance but when people feel tricked they get burned out on the issue and trust the media less. They could have made the point they wanted without making it clickbait.

I wanted to get into FPGAs when I was making some custom boards with MCUs but I really had a hard time finding a good idea for a starter project with them. How did you get started? Any recommendations?
Note: I just re-read it before posting and realized its long and I’m putting it in the “casual conversations” community… I think I’d still consider it casual because it’s just a story of day-to-day life and I’m not particularly looking for advice or feedback, it’s just for fun....
Haha yeah, it’s funny how many of the biggest decisions in life end up being made on the spur of the moment when you have to rather than after careful thought and deliberation. Or what seem like small moments that suddenly become much bigger that you never forget. I’m not sure if I’m making sense but at least I get what you’re saying! 😜

Pseudo-monopolies are great at extinguishing imagination like that, and tbh Google search (as I understand its basic setup) was only as good as it was thanks to timing and few really good competitors.
Cost: I considered myself a heavy searcher (software engineer and gamer) and have been surprised to see I have rarely exceeded even half of my allotted searches ($5/mo, 300 searches). I’m now reprogramming my brain to stop turning to alternatives when something should be easy to find because “I might use up all my queries”.
Better: apart from all of the cool features, and there are many, there’s also that it just “feels better”. I don’t know how to qualify that despite being a professional in that world. It’s kinda the opposite feeling that I had using Google over the last 5+ years where I wondered if I was getting dumber or if the internet (and Google) was absolutely full of garbage.
It’s on the very short list of subscriptions I pay for right now despite having a very limited budget at the moment.
Sorry, I forgot to check for replies til now. I’m using almost the exact set of services the other commenter is, minus mullvad (proton is fine for me), backblaze (I have a homelab with a lot of redundant storage capacity and have enough important stuff backed up to the cloud in other ways I’m fine with having to rebuild the rest if something big happens), and standard notes (but I have been considering switching to it just this week, just haven’t done the research).
I’ve never smoked, but I’ve been around people that do. What do people feel during/after smoking? It doesn’t seem to make people high or hallucinate or anything. It maybe mildly relaxes them?
This is a great description of nicotine addiction (I’m a vaper, but have smoked). I’d highly recommend anyone who’s considering it to not bother even if you’re impulsive and having a stressful time. Imagine adding another biological need like sleeping to your plate when after a few months all it’ll do for you is allow you to stop thinking about it for a bit. No more buzz. Just cravings and knowing where the exits are.

Yeah, I take issue with your point. Mental illness doesn’t make a person dangerous to society automatically. Mental illness makes a person much more likely to be a victim of abuse rather than the perpetrator.
