I block people if they needlesly use a brand name isntead of saying the group name. Do I probably have some false positives? Probably.

As long as they can reduce the adblock usage, it is a win for them. 100% success is not the goal. Right now there is nothing stopping everyone from using some sort of adblocker (0% revenue is possible actually), which must be scary.

Do we have surviving scientists and engineers, or books? Then everything is easy-ish: Progress took time because we didn’t know anything, everything was trial and error. Now we know the correct forms of physical laws or their usable approximations so rebuilding is just a matter of time (generations maybe).

If somehow the collective wisdom is lost, back to the stone ages with you.

It’s a weird ass language. When you start, it feels easy because rules are rigid. Then you try to build longer sentences PROPERLY and you feel that it is cumbersome. Finally you try to talk to native speakers, and you see that native speakers also think it is cumbersome and they omit 50% of rules in dailyspeak. Then, your brain turns into a mush which cannot decide if past is ok here or do I do perfekt to not look like a posh journalist. Do I use genitive like a properboi or dativ like a correct streetboi? Oh wait, they call it Cola (female) in Germany but Cola (male) in Austria? Wait what? it’s not country specific but much more local than that and you can be wrong while in a car?

It’s a mess.

You can keep it optimally dirty to avoid some insects (the ones who avoid mammallian products) and only deal with the ones which seek human smells/other molecules.

It is, did I write something wrong which negates that?

How can you know a game is LGBTQ+ if they don’t talk about sex/gender? They look like normal humans to me, which differ in sexual preferences only? Example: How can you say this guy is gay without knowing his sexual preferences?

What if content amount is the problem and old search algorithms simply do not scale well? (Pagerank algorithm has bunch of assumptions, are they still true/good enough?)

or, you know, keep it to yourself unless asked? No one needs to know which planet you come from, why does it matter if I’m from Mars? Will you see me as inferior because I didn’t have a good atmosphere or liquid water in my childhood and my favorite color is red because that’s what we had?

We gave up “all-flat-terrain”, carbon neutral, semi-self driving things and got “this road is not paved so I’ll shake you so much that your baby will die”, “created new jobs: climate disaster control”, “just currently getting some self-driving capabilities”.

I’m half-joking of course, cars are great for long distance travel but you could argue humanity would be far better (apart from GDP) if we have no roads in the cities.

You do know that -gamy means marriage right? We aren’t talking about polyamory, we are talking about polygamy.

I don’t think western governments allow polygamous marriages. Or do you mean only dating and never having legal rights?

Maybe being sentient is about saying no all the time: You are a sack of water made out of carbon and it always wants to simply fall but you have keep saying “no, we stand”, “no, we tilt slightly forward” (walk) etc.

At night, when there’s nothing to do and you’ve already lost your battle against gravity (a comfy bed), maybe the helpful naysayer starts generating bullshit?

going to a website (not tech savvy enough for this) vs going to the settings on an app and select a new icon (yay anyone can do it)

Customarily, when doing these kind of calculations we ignore stuff which keep us alive because these things are needed regardless of economic contributions, since you know people are people and not tools.

I don’t miss the price haha, I miss its implications: If you were outside, you were outside; and there was no email which could hopefully find you well.

24/7 connectivity was a mistake. I miss that brief window when we had cheap supercomputers in our pockets, but data was still expensive.

I call myself mlm: mediocre language model

1/e is about 37%, maybe 1-1/e?
