Thank you!

Question: Can you suggest resources or tips for picking colors that are friendly for color-blind people? Is it easier to differentiate based upon saturation?

And people who are upset at not being sexually attracted to an nb actor who was portraying a 14-year-old girl… I took a look at the trashy sub a few weeks ago and it’s pretty gross.

Both were less impressive than the beard of Edward Teach.

“Harry Potter and the Greedy TERF”

I really think that “killed” is the wrong term. It is far too neutral. The correct word here would be “murdered”.

Who’s dying on what hill now?

That would be wonderful. The current way that the world has been “working” for a good while now makes me think it unlikely, unfortunately. The vast majority of technological innovation in the last half-century has been used to extract wealth and replace options available to the non-ultra-wealthy with inferior substitutes that are cheaper to make, often for the same effective cost.

I would say that I think it’s weird because I think shaved pubes are weird (and experienced horrific razor burn when I tried it back in college).

Sounds like you are a fucking rockstar dad though. That’s a very vulnerable thing to think about asking your parent for a teenage boy. Lots of self-consciousness and trying to figure oneself out. That he felt comfortable asking you says a lot. That you stepped up to ensure that he knew how to do so safely says a lot too.

I had to look it up a few months back. But then I remembered that there was this whole big thing that I thought was uninteresting and forgot about.

Thank you for your diligence.

Life long windows user. I switched to Arch

Fuck. That’s like going straight from English breakfast tea to hash oil.

I’ve been using Linux almost exclusively both in my personal and professional life for a decade and a half. I only installed Arch a month or two ago.

When you realize that most extremely to ultra wealthy people are idiots propped up by their underlings, it makes more sense.

This is not how soldiers work for the most part though.

Maybe modern professional soldiers. However, there was some research around WW2 with draftees and conscripts that suggested that in the case, a substantial number would not fire on the enemy or intentionally miss in close combat. There has been some debate over accuracy of the results but, the US military found them compelling enough to sink immense resources into attempting to address this through training.

Anecdotally, my grandfather was a volunteer and gunner on a landing craft in the Pacific and would have died, if not for the armor plate in front of him. He admitted to intentionally not shooting at enemy soldiers, when laying down suppressing fire, primarily damaging empty sheds and the like. Despite choosing to be there, he didn’t want to kill anyone.

Compare that to conscripts and draftees fighting in the Russia-Ukraine war and you’re a lot more likely to find people uncommitted to killing other human beings. Most human beings have a strong aversion to homicide, even in war.

So… Judging by recent trends in AI, this will be used to devalue the labor of surgeons and be provided as the only option available to people who are not rich. People will die from what would get a human charged with neglegent homicide but, it will be covered up and, when it comes to light just how dangerous it is, nothing will happen because all of the regulatory agencies have been dismantled.

I don’t understand how being smart and not needing human input makes these weapons more effective

Probably a lot about humans not usually liking killing other humans. Humans are more likely to accept a surrender or, miss a target due lack of dedication to taking a life or intentionally miss.

Oh, I meant that one can start a new community on the new instance to remove the problematic mod from the picture. Not that one should try to engage in ban evasion.

Eh. I see arguments both ways. Public votes makes it easier to catch bad faith (downvote bots) and manipulation. However, it allows abuse from touchy or unscrupulous mods. TBH, I’m personally more concerned with the bots. Everything is federated to one can pickup and move elsewhere of they’re on the receiving end of such a mod.

Cat in the Hat. Kid’s got a while life ahead of them to get depressed about the vile things humans have done (and still do) to each other. Let the kid have a few months of happiness.
