Truth be told, I didn’t even mention food quality, I’m just trying to point out that the research he’s referencing would definitely be impacted by variables such as local ventilation differences, burner efficiency, gas flow rates, cooking frequency etc.

He's a madman with a box! Gotta love him.

“why would you do that?!”


“… I had a duty of care.”

This seems pretty comprehensive:

However, while LLM usage is not in vogue around here, this is one situation where I think an LLM would be very handy.

You can use something like ChatGPT to read that post and then come up with a sensible step by step procedure where you can install and configure each program once at a time.

Let's say you have a few movies and shows already downloaded.

You can get your feet wet by installing Plex Media Server, or another solution (Emby and Jellyfin are the top contenders). Then when you want to automate downloading if torrents, you get into the next step, and so on so forth.

Rarely does someone build an end game device at the beginning. Usually it's a learn as you go and upgrade as the need arises.

The most important thing in the very idea behind any of this? Get started. One step at a time. Make mistakes and learn from them.

I will look into those, thanks!

I'm mainly using it to fill a small niche gap in my existing pirate fleet.

Right on brother, I'm already on Usenet, mainly looking for a private tracker as a next to last resort.

Speaking of which, if anyone has an invite to spare for a good private tracker, please DM me. Private tracker I used since highschool has finally lost the plot.

Ah, dang it! I didn't know that lady was the arbiter of universal human experience!

Pack it up everyone. We're having fun the wrong way! Someone make her CEO of Blizzard, stat!

Fascinating, I never heard about that, so my causality chain only accounts for starting at:

[Repeal of Fairness Doctrine](https://www.reaganlibrary.gov/archives/topic-guide/fairness-doctrine)

Water Gate

Frost / Nixon

Reaganomics

Clinton

Glass Steagle

Clinton Impeachment

Bush

NCLB

Plenty of details in between, I definitely want to fill out the timeline with as much detail as possible.

I mean we burned witches in the dark ages right, so the behavior dates back at least as far as that.

♥️ That's one of my favorite quotes of all time.

Yeah I mean a ~~casual~~ causal chain can be traced back to the big bang. But looking at the entirety of history, you tend to look for certain inflection points.

So in my mind, traveling from Present backwards in time, the journey looks like this in my mind:

Present :: Idiocracy
1st :: No Child Left Behind
2nd :: Bush elected
3rd :: Clinton Glass Steagle
4th :: Reagan
5th :: Nixon

I can zoom in anywhere along that timeline to talk about how each event impacted this topic.

Lemme know if you want to explore any of that like for example what did Reagan do to impact education today long after his death.

No Child Left Behind destroyed this country far more effectively than I ever would have suspected.

A simulation is only as accurate as the person’s ability to rationalize. It should only be used by people who can already out think it, because you need to be able to challenge and correct it.

Never beat yourself up for not realizing something sooner. The conditions that were required for understanding happened at the exact time they were supposed to.

As an autistic person I felt this in my bones. I cannot STAND email based authentication.

Hahaha, that's brilliant! But my point was more like money is part of a complex system, and I see something very very concerning happening and I'm worried.

The rules of the game are widely becoming recognized by the average person as something is not quite right. The people in power tell us the rules. But we watch them and they break those rules all the time. Causes cognitive dissonance on a global scale. Mass disillusionment in all government systems.

Money is part of that system. People start to say, hey, the rules are lies, money wealth and status are just bullshit distractions, I'm gonna go paint a sunset and take a nap instead of... Work 80 hours for slave wages.

I mean I looked at the system and instantly opted out. I retired at 39 because I saw the system was stupid and ran out the door as soon as I figured out where they hid it.

Sorry for rambling!

Heheheh, eyyy I said it's not real. Not useless. Abstract concepts and systems have purpose. But they are not fundamental aspects of reality, just an emergent property.

Kinda like mathematics. You can erase planet Earth from the universe and the abstract concept of mathematics is still useful even if math books are all gone.

😁

Money isn't even real.

That sounds like you're saying "it is what it is." Which I agree with.

I was a bit hyperbolic, you're right, I apologize. They do settle down when they want to, on their time scale, but their preferences also correlate with other parameters that should be considered.

The higher social status, the more selective the man who has been pursued by women gets to be. He may say to himself I prefer a younger woman that has fewer relationships, and thus a real statistically relevant lower risk of having had traumatic experiences and the resulting damage that may affect her ability to trust him and view him through an adversarial lens.

Look at DiCaprio. People can balk all they want at the age gap thing, but consenting adults gonna bang. And he gets to be as selective as he wants and he'll never not have options.

But my ADHD has made me forget what point I was even trying to make. Sorry I ramble often.

Edit ok now that I went and re read the post I can get back to topic.

So that's my take on the men that hook up a lot. Now the other side!

The men who don't hook up don't get married. Yeah, that makes sense to me. They are too afraid to do what it takes. And honestly I think that's coming from a pervading sense of hopelessness that is growing and growing amongst that demographic. And extrapolating that further, worries me greatly. Fear leads to anger leads to Yoda was right leads to shit is on fire yo!

I basically thought it was a synonym for "assaulted." Which is like explicitly violent. Like I was WAY off. Which is rare for me, I had like 750/800 on my SAT verbal. 99/100 on my NYS English Regents exams. That's so embarrassing to me.

Now I have to algorithmically sift though the memories of my life to see if I'm relying on that definition for any important logical frameworks that my autistic brain uses to do my thinking.

Wow. You just made me realize accosting has a completely different definition than I thought for the past 25 years. God damn it that's upsetting.

A lot of men think differently than women about relationships though. A lot of men would:

1. Fundamentally know they would be happiest with a woman who respects them and treats them softly and with love and treats the relationship as a partnership.

2. Concurrently, they would be happy to accept sex if it were freely offered with no risks (but there ARE very clear risks that sometimes make them balk at sex even being worth that anyway).

3. They believe that past behavior predicts future behavior. They see women that they would sleep with but never marry.

4. End result: the men willing to take the risk sleep with all the women they want to. Women all sleep with that shared small group of men. Those men don't commit, they have all the sex they want and never intended to commit. The men that would have committed were friend zoned, turned down, or ignored, took that at face value as they are not valued or in demand. Ultimately choose a peaceful life as a hermit enjoying whatever they can find happiness in. Hobbies, games, friends, etc.

Is selection bias a term or did I just make that up? Perhaps women get an incomplete understanding of men because they only interact with the men they choose to interact with. At minimum I know confirmation bias definitely comes into play with all these social interactions and assumptions. And men get an incomplete picture of women just from sheer lack of exposure. They only know what they see using what limited means of remote study. Social media, news, anecdotes from each other, etc.

I don’t know if everyone has been paying attention to how things are trending and extrapolating, but the fact is a ton of men are looking at that scenario and saying, “eh I’m just done, I’m gonna stay home and enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts. Less risky.”

Excellent points!
