Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.

  • George Orwell

  • General Staff: Russia has lost 1,247,580 troops in Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022

    Jump

  • Didn't Ukraine just report a few days ago that the war has so far cost the lives of around 50k Ukrainian soldiers, and now they're saying Russia has 1.2 million killed or wounded?

    Suffice to say, probably neither of those numbers is accurate.

  • Is there is a TikTok alternative that allows NSFW/Uncensored?

    Jump

  • That's basically all I've ever used Twitter for - and still do.

  • How happy are you with your life?

    Jump

  • Happiness isn't an emotion I feel all that often, but I'm hyper-aware of how much worse things could be. Objectively, everything's fine - and aside from a recent setback, the overall direction seems to be upward.

    Can only wish I had someone to share it with.

  • If you have to throw punches, make sure to punch upwards.

    Jump

  • That assumes the punch-deserving party is always "upwards" from you.

  • Full tank

    Jump

  • If you google pictures of a replacement gas tank for your car's make and model, the shape of it might explain something. Might also be a failing fuel level sensor.

  • How much do you need to retire early?

    Jump

  • I stand corrected. I imagined that 10% average growth on the S&P500 would make 7% a safe rate.

  • How much do you need to retire early?

    Jump

  • One million invested to the stock market gives you roughly 70k 40k returns yearly and you get to keep the million.

  • HOW?!

    Jump

  • Could not be further from the truth.

  • What are some product categories where the mainstream option IS the best option?

    Jump

  • Hershey's isn't very well liked outside the US, I believe. It's an acquired taste - to many foreigners it tastes like vomit because of the butyric acid in it.

  • Seen on the door of a Fortune Teller

    Jump

  • Funnily enough, it actually does.

    I've been waiting for a suitable replacement to be left over from a customer but so far they've all either been in worse condition than mine or been no-name brands.

    What are your thoughts on apolitical people?

  • It is! Completely frozen in-fact.

  • It's called cognitive dissonance. You've already decided that all AI-generated content is bad - then you stumble across a piece of it that you actually like, and now you're struggling to square those two conflicting views.

    It's that natural human instinct to want things clear-cut - good or bad, black or white - clashing hard with the nuance that actually exists in the real world.

    What are your thoughts on apolitical people?

    Jump

  • I'm not apolitical - I'm a political minimalist. I vote, then I check out until the next election rolls around. Not really interested in the daily back-and-forth.

  • Health Insurance Costs by U.S. State in 2026

    Jump

  • I first thought that this doesn't seem that bad, just a little more than what I'm paying.

    Then I realized it's montly cost - not annual.

  • You may soon be able to use a buy now, pay later plan for your rent—what to know

    Jump

  • So instead of paying your rent you can pay your rent and our memebership fee starting from $10/month. That should sort out your financial worries.

  • Average American has just $955 saved for retirement, study finds

    Jump

  • Invest everything you can into highly diversified, low-cost index funds and continue doing that for multiple decades. That's the how.

    The why should be pretty obvious.

  • It Turns Out That When Waymos Are Stumped, They Get Intervention From Workers in the Philippines

    Jump

  • New HW4 Teslas do in fact include a front-facing radar, but it's currently only used for collecting data - not for FSD.

    Still, gotta give them credit for getting by with vision-only quite well. I don't personally see any practical reason why you absolutely must include LiDAR. We already know driving relatively safely with vision only is possible - all the best drivers in the world do it.

  • What technologies are constant failures but we can't stop trying to make work?

    Jump

  • "Plant" can describe anything from grass to giant redwoods, but it's not a useless term. We have more specific names for all the subspecies of plants - and the same goes for AI.

  • What technologies are constant failures but we can't stop trying to make work?

    Jump

  • But he is not actually claiming that they already have this technology but rather that they're working towards it. He even calls ChatGPT dumb there.

    and ChatGPT (which Altman referred to as “incredibly dumb” compared with what’s coming next)

    YSK that only by being yourself will you find people who like the real you. No one can beat you at being you, but you’ll only ever be second best at pretending to be someone else.

    Besides dating one, how could I possibly figure out whether I'm even capable of developing romantic feelings towards another man?
