@Sassafrass_84 Don't start on dinner until they arrive and make them wait for 2 hours

My biggest pet peeve: What time is dinner, Christy? Me: 6pm. Inlaws: Ok Me: See ya then. (Knowing they won't be here on time.) Currently 6:45. Kids:" I hate when they dont value our time. It's like this every holiday."(Last time they showed up 2 and a half hours late) Me: "They work a farm. Sometimes, it's like that." In my head: It's still rude. They can never be on time even when they don't have chickens. But holding my tongue. Biggest pet peeve. Never on time.

@PedanticKilljoy @SandyofCthulhu This is known to all and is obvious once anyone looks and thinks about it

@PedanticKilljoy @SandyofCthulhu Bad and good are poles of the same thing. If every thing was good then bad wouldn't exist or the least good thing would be the new bad. Darkness is not dark but the absence of light. Same thing. Badness is not bad it's the absence of good

I have a close boyhood friend in Japan, who is Christian (as is his wife, who is full Japanese), so naturally most of the Japanese I know are Christian, and they agree. Japanese THINK they know Christianity, but they do not. It's the same really in America - atheists think they know all about Christianity, and they challenge Christians with arguments like, "If God, why bad thing?", which St. Augustine debunked in the 300s. I had a long conversation with a Baha'i believer in California in which he tried long and hard to convince me that Christianity was compatible with Baha'i. Sadly all he convinced me of is that he knew almost nothing about Christianity except that we really like Jesus. (Pictured Sapporo LDS temple)

You haven't answered the question yet you demand answers to your fairy questions. But ok a thought experiment. Let's live in your real world. Can dark exist without light? Can wet exist without dry, life without death, creation without destruction, hard without soft etc. The fact you have refused to answer and wave your hands calling it fairy is just you coping and ignoring the obvious around you.

@daloore @SandyofCthulhu What I am saying, which should be pretty obvious to anyone capable of thought, is: "Polarity" is a retarded cope that leads to all kinds of ridiculous ideas when taken out of the airy fairy realm of ideas and put into the real world, where we all actually live.

@DrRitaDed Why are you not tolerant of others

Reminder: Not everyone celebrates Easter. Do not wish me or them a happy Easter without consent.

@PedanticKilljoy @SandyofCthulhu Why would I think that? I think you're failing to understand the concept of polarity. Or deliberately being obtuse and not arguing in good faith. Do you need the concept of polarity explained a bit more?

@daloore @SandyofCthulhu So you think sin is good and heaven is bad.

@PedanticKilljoy @SandyofCthulhu Can you read? I told you what I believe. For smart to exist the world needs people like you

@daloore @SandyofCthulhu I am arguing that if you apply this airy fairy reasoning to Christianity, sin is good and heaven is bad. Is this what you believe?

@PedanticKilljoy @SandyofCthulhu I believe everything has an opposite but it's the same thing. You're arguing the dark exists without light

@daloore @SandyofCthulhu Again, if you believe that what you say is true, that means sin is actually good and heaven is actually bad. Is this what you believe?

@PedanticKilljoy @SandyofCthulhu How does that follow? Are you saying darkness exists separately to light? That you can have soft without hard? Wet without dry?

@daloore @SandyofCthulhu If what you say is true, that would mean there is no sin and heaven is bad. Do you believe that?

@GarrettPetersen @eternaltxts But dude you can meet some nice people after who both of you have experience of what you don't want and are better suited

@eternaltxts Your dating pool will never get better. The best partners in your age group will pair off in their early twenties, get married a few years later, and then stay married until they die of old age. Pair off now, or get someone who is less attractive/more flaky/divorced later on.

I’m 21. Give me oddly specific life tips. No general ”surround yourself with positive people” tips. I want the most random, specific advice possible.

@eternaltxts If your girlfriend or wife tells you a problem, don't try to fix it

@r_u_thinking @aakashgupta Dude what's wrong with you? You really think you're right and caring so much over a clearly fabricated story. Normally people don't buy NAS and hook them up and backups etc. But if you think they do good for you. You obviously care so much about it to write paragraphs about it

@daloore @aakashgupta BTW, all you've really done is demonstrate my point, which is that people have traded their digital independence for convenience, and here you are, arguing for convenience in a discussion started with a story about someone who did exactly that and suffered for it.....

Google built an AI that can identify minors on camera in real time. Then they connected that detection to an automated enforcement system that nukes every account on the device, plus every account linked to those accounts, with no appeal, no human review, and no distinction between the 14-year-old who triggered it and the parent with 15 years of business records in Drive. The child protection system worked exactly as designed. It correctly identified a minor. It correctly flagged the violation. Then it correctly destroyed a family's financial livelihood, locked out 15 years of business emails, seized documents needed for tax filing in two months, and killed a live website. All correct. All automated. All irreversible. This is what happens when enforcement scales faster than judgment. Google processes billions of policy decisions per year. Human review at that volume is economically impossible, so they built systems that optimize for one metric: minimize platform liability. The system that banned this family isn't broken. It's doing exactly what Google designed it to do. Protect Google. The father now can't pay his mortgage in three months because his accounting records are locked inside a Google Drive he will never access again. His company year ends in May. Every invoice, every receipt, every client email, gone. Because his son used the family tablet. One device. One teenager. One automated flag. 15 years of someone's professional life erased in seconds with a form letter citing "child protection reasons." The people storing their entire business inside a single platform's ecosystem are making the same bet this family made: that the platform will never turn on them for something they didn't do. 345 million people are making that bet with Google Workspace right now.

@om_patel5 Faster too

I taught Claude to talk like a caveman to use 75% less tokens. normal claude: ~180 tokens for a web search task caveman claude: ~45 tokens for the same task "I executed the web search tool" = 8 tokens caveman version: "Tool work" = 2 tokens every single grunt swap saves 6-10 tokens. across a FULL task that's 50-100 tokens saved why does it work? caveman claude doesn't explain itself. it does its task first. gives the result. then stops. no "I'd be happy to help you with that." no "Let me search the web for you" no more unnecessary filler words "result. done. me stop." 50-75% burn reduction with usage limits getting tighter every week this might be the most practical hack out there right now

@r_u_thinking @aakashgupta Just buy a NAS' for non-tech users? That's the miss. Families juggling kids and jobs won't setup/maintain that reliably (hardware fails, moves happen).

@daloore @aakashgupta How did you manage to miss the point so completely?

@Rn9Thz @r_u_thinking @aakashgupta How does that help? That's more that can go wrong. If he needs 100% of it and spread out that's more risk. He should have backed it up locally

@daloore @r_u_thinking @aakashgupta Non-technicable people still could use multiple cloud providers instead of laying all their eggs in one basket.

@Countcristo44 Must be ai or this was staged for views

A brown child sees some kids having fun and his first impulse is to ruin it. They are wired for destruction.

@X_FINALBOSS How

I went to a private millionaires–only mastermind with 12 young entrepreneurs selling digital products and info, each person making 7 to 9 figures per year (in LA, Beverly Hills) I've never felt so behind and broke even tho im making millions already people were making millions with ebooks and courses on a variety of topics/niches: Ecom, Tik Tok shop, websites, etc I've gathered some secret business methods including : 1) how they're getting millions of views per week 2) converting those views into $3K+ sales daily 3) how to automate the entire thing and build systems 4) breakdown example of posts and products sold 5) show you how many sales, sales calls, entire funnel 6) case studies : how complete beginners scaled to $100K+ per month within 8 months with the right methods 7) and how you can get started :) comment "HOW" if you want this must be following + retweet to receive

@Gregorein Are you sure they aren't prefetches by the service worker? Some sites use this as an optimizing strategy where all future js files are prefetched at low priority so it doesn't need to load them with navigating

it also downloads 78 Stimulus controller, including... AI image generation voice extraction video generation radar charts draft review lab evaluation and the literal Rails "Hello World" scaffold (`hello_controller.js`, 157 bytes). 154 KB transferred. None of these are used on the homepage. The browser fetches all of them anyway. 3/9🧵

so... I audited Garry's website after he bragged about 37K LOC/day and a 72-day shipping streak. here's what 78,400 lines of AI slop code actually looks like in production. a single homepage load of garryslist.org downloads 6.42 MB across 169 requests. for a newsletter-blog-thingy. 1/9🧵

You have a Nas, get a short circuit or a fire or move house and it gets damaged. Then you have to set up off site backup. Non technical people aren't going to get a Nas and setup off site backup. Why don't we just improve the ai services. It could recognize it's the kids and alert the parents. It had all the context

It was interesting watching the shift over the years from self-reliance in computing to absolute dependence. Truly fascinating. I self-host virtually everything myself. None of my data is at risk of something like this, precisely because I've always known it could happen. I've never understood why people were willing to trade control for convenience and we're just now starting to see the result of that decision being made at a societal scale. This guy and his business records? It's just the beginning. Everyone will eventually be living in fear of having their lives digitally destroyed for offending the wrong person or philosophy. Do yourself a favor and buy a NAS. That's the first step in protecting yourself from something like this.
