I thought cricket was the most boring sport in existence.

Which LLM are you running on your macbook?

I heard some doctor say during a podcast that these medicines are really bad for your microbiome. Apparently this is still not common knowledge in the medical science and the effects may be much more devistating than once thought.

Feast your heart on this:

100% agreed.

I am actually a vegan activist, so I am somewhat used to shaming people. Although that is never the purpose. The purpose is to stop people from exploiting animals (killing, breeding, enslaving, using for testing and entertainment) when in today’s world 99% of it is unnecessary. It is very cruel and also is a major factor of climate change.

I digress, what I wanted to say is that this thing that you and I are talking about should have activists too. Money grubbing needs to be shamed endlessly. I just don’t know exactly how. I feel like going onto the streets with thousands of activists like I do with veganism, but I lack a clear movement, message and organization.

I honestly don’t have a systemic solution, like with veganism, which may be the crux of the problem. I just believe people need to be held accountable for what they are or are not bringing to the world.

Do you know of a movement? Perhaps degrowth?

I cringe everytime money grubbing is normalized. Bloomberg is now building an AI like chatGPT to do their forecasting. They are super proud of that, but instead they should be deeply ashamed. What value are they providing? People are just lining their pockets and other people applaud these people. This is a serious culture flaw.

Sure, but even so you’re nudging people in a direction that may or may not be the right direction. Some justification for advice is in order, right? I don’t know, perhaps @figaro@lemdro.id is a social psychologist who has spent years researching this topic?

I don’t know. Some justification for your advice maybe? I know you intend well, but I am genuinely wondering how you know whether your advice is right and why you feel qualified to give advice.

Just one thing, you can say dating apps all suck, but I found my wife on a dating app, so maybe weave that into your story as well if possible :)

I couldn’t really find scientific research to back this claim up. Can you elaborate and back your claims up?

That seems like super generic advice. Why would you give it to anyone? Are you more qualified somehow than the people you give it to?

Every HP printer I owned over the last two decades was a huge pile of crap. I hate printers now and will never buy one ever again. I go to the library to print.

wait till she finds out that 0.99999… 9’s to infinity is the same as 1

Correlation is not causation my friend.

We used to think rocks were completely solid, then we discovered they are actually mostly empty space. Perhaps one day we’ll discover rocks feel pain too.

Have you ever heard of epistemology?

There are exactly zero good scientific reasons to believe plants feel pain my dude. I’m not being close minded nor open minded, I am just being sensible. Being “open minded” about anything without any solid justification isn’t being open minded, it is being naive. Are you going to call me close minded for not believing purple swans exist? We didn’t use to know that black swans existed, so maybe purple swans exist? I believe just as much in that plants feel pain as I believe in that santa exists, which is effectively nil.

To quote the website I found (doplantsfeelpain.com):

“We consider the likelihood that plants, with their relative organizational simplicity and lack of neurons and brains, have consciousness to be effectively nil”. That is not entirely zero, but for all intents and purposes zero.

This is not only based on non-extrapolation, but also based on our knowledge of consciousness, feelings and pain.

I recently found this website and I was reminded of you:

Have a look: doplantsfeelpain.com

Have you ever considered asking a question or are you only just interested in misrepresenting what I said?

My work is a hobby, so there’s that

We don’t need to be compatible for the point to stand

I don’t tend to think about the amount of work available nor the demand for the fruits of work to be fixed.

I agree with the issues you are raising.
