  • | (25F) keep fixating on a guy (26M) I don't know from Instagram, how do I stop?

    Jump

  • My advice is very unromantic.

    What you're seeing is their best face. They're not who you imagine they are. They could still be a good person and maybe a potential romantic interest, but it won't be the person you've created for them. If you don't just let them go, one day you might meet in person somehow and you'll have this one-sided parasocial relationship that will either freak them out or they'll never catch up with.

    I suggest not pursuing the friend request. If it's a limerance scenario, you might be fine now. You might browse their profile occasionally. But what about when you're feeling exceptionally low? What will you do? Add a couple of their friends and try to slowly ingratiate your way into their life? Message them with an admission of infatuation?

    Some of my fondest memories are of people I never pursued. And they'll always stay that way.

  • NATO seeks to ‘understand the details’ of US decision to withdraw troops from Germany

    Jump

  • All of those are true but the likely biggest reason that he's also a Russian puppet. No one wants a destabilized NATO more than Putin does. Putin obviously can't make Merz say disparaging things about Trump but he can certainly play Trump's ego and get outcomes he wants when things are in motion.

  • Okay, that would be shitty but no empathy for the guy using fucking Waymo.

    Nobody can ever automate the creation of handmade things

    Jump

  • It's a valid comment and a concept that is fussed about everywhere in hand craft circles. I do woodworking and I use a CNC machine sometimes. Woodworkers without a CNC say that's not woodworking but most who have one say it absolutely is woodworking, because you have to know what you need the wood to be, you have to know how to make the machine do it and you have to know what the limitations are, etc.

    I think the concept you're looking for is mass production or corporate owned production. To me, that's what differentiates. If a person in their garage is making something using a machine, it's a lot closer to someone using hand tools than a corporation buying or building machines to crank out things while paying others to operate the machines as cheaply as possible.

  • Intel CEO says he can 'think of no better partner than Elon Musk' to explore 'unconventional' ways to improve chip manufacturing — TeraFab partnership aims to rethink how chips are made to reduce cost

  • That makes two of us. I'm guessing his pay is a bit higher than mine, though.

  • I'm not and they've all fucked the country over enough that they should die. I think with what they've done, their disappearance will be inevitable anyway.

  • We should do the latter. Almost everything they do is performative. Remove the audience.

  • If you can't think of anyone better you should fucking resign right now. Yesterday before you said something so stupid would be better.

  • Experience or opinions of Music Assistant?

    Jump

  • Underbaked sounds about right. But it's powerful as hell. I love having music everywhere all at once. I mostly use it with Navidrome and it works a treat. But using YouTube music is a little touch and go.

  • San Francisco is getting ravaged by multiple viruses. Experts aren't sure why.

    Jump

  • Just in case you're being flippant (I can't tell if you are and it seems like you're being light-hearted), I thought it might be good to remind everyone that Palantir now has all of the data from the CDC. As well, Peter Theil is a major investor in AbCellera Biogenics among others. The techno feudalists have the desire and quite possibly the ability to start wiping out chunks of the population.

    I have no idea if they're putting that desire into motion but it wouldn't surprise me if they did.

  • Just tossing it out there, maybe we should take a look at the silicon valley techno feudalists.

  • What are your personal beliefs and values?

    Jump

  • I'm no politician. I'm just a fella. I think that beer should be cold and boots should be dusty. I think 9/11 was bad. And freedom, well, that's just a little bit better.

  • I'm really sorry you're experiencing this pain and frustration. Like others said, I think therapy would really go far in your life. You need someone to safely talk to and get feedback. Positive feedback especially when it's warranted.

    All of these things are temporary. The world sucks right now, it won't always. Parts (hell maybe all) of your life sucks but it won't always. Everything changes, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, sometimes you're in control of the change sometimes you're not. I know it probably feels permanent and probably feels like it's always been bad but that's your brain lying to you because you're feeling shitty. It's a feedback loop. It's absolutely fixable as are a lot of the issues you've listed. It's okay sometimes for today to suck. Because that makes tomorrow more vibrant. It makes you more compassionate because you've been there. Just please remember, how you're feeling and how you're seeing the world is temporary.

  • US Navy denies food shortages after grim photos emerge from blockade ships

    Jump

  • I have been wondering about this. Many ships have gotten through during the US "blockade". I wonder if our Navy captains didn't refuse some obviously illegal orders and the lack of food is punishment.
