Thanks, I was going to say exactly that. I agree with most of the other comment, but the biological part did not sound correct to me. Biologically, we should impregnate as much people as possible, and monogamous couples would not be the standard.
IMO, there's nothing comparable to MacBook Air in its price range if you are an average user. Neo is even better in that aspect. The model you cited sounds better if you are planning to use Linux and are computer literate. But if you just want something that is good (not perfect) at everything usual, a MacBook is a no-brainer.
Don't do that, just avoid answering the "non-believers" or whatever they are called. Your comments are insightful for me (and for a lot of other people, I'm sure). You don't need to prove that they are useful, just comment about your experience and ignore them. It's like arguing about religion trying to make the other person to flip their beliefs (a waste of time for everyone involved)
I guess you're right, I really need to get better at ignoring some people. It just really got to me today because someone else looked at one of my projects for two seconds and decided to tell me off for it being "insecure" and "slop", and it kind of ruined my day.
Depends on what you're using it for I suppose. A common tactic with Openclaw itself is to have a cheap or local model as the default, with rules to "escalate" to other models based on task complexity/type. But if every cron job comes with complete access to your personal machine and browser profile... Yeah, better go for the most predictable model you can find.
If they use any social media like Instagram or TikTok, just ask them to show their DMs as well. I was a douchebag when I was younger, and that was the first step into realizing that I was not aware of the women experience as I thought as I was at the time.
Maybe this video[1] helps you understand this better: a lot of Americans live in constant fear. They live in one of the safest countries on Earth, but if you see the discourse around safety there, you would think that USA is a big cartel neighborhood.
Maybe the 24 hours news cycle is responsible for that, I don't know. It's pretty weird, though. And I say that as someone who has lived in unsafe neighborhoods in my native country.
>Besides, as an Israeli, imagine a world in which the manufacturers of Zyklon B refused to sell Hitler their product for the purposes of gassing human beings. It might not have prevented the Holocaust, but at least maybe impeded it a little.
Honestly, if the Holocaust was today, we would probably get 10% of comments here trying to defend "both sides". Some people have a need to try to defend every side, even if one of the sides it's asking for them to be murdered.
I see a lot of people using weed for better sleep, but isn't weed supposed to interfere with REM states? I thought that weed would have the opposite effect that you say. Do you dream if you use weed before bed?
I rarely dream either way (unless I start focusing on that specifically, then my recall will improve quickly). When I was younger and would go to bed severely stoned I would wake up groggy and lethargic - clearly not optimal sleep. On 3-4% THC I usually wake up spontaneously and feel well rested. It mostly just helps me fall asleep and stay asleep. YMMV obviously.
It’s a pretty low dose, doesn’t exactly send me into space—heavy users might need 10x or more that dose to even feel it—just enough to make my brain shut up so I can fall asleep. I think a lot of folks who have a bad time when they try it start at far too high a dose (I wouldn’t even start at 5mg, maybe shoot for like 2), I also don’t much enjoy being properly high, anything past what you’d call a heavyish buzz I find unpleasant (and my standard nighttime dose doesn’t even quite get me to the heavier end of a buzz, that’s more the 7-10mg range for me, though I’d caution that some gummies seem more potent and some nominal-5s do get me closer to that than others)
I dunno about sleep quality effects, but it’s definitely better than even a couple beers (for me, these days) and it’s way better than lying awake until 3am… for the third night in a row. For most of the night it should be mostly worn-off, again, I’m not taking a ton and it takes longer to work through you in edible form than smoking, but we’re still talking less than half the night, especially as I usually time it so it hits just a little while before bed (I don’t want to get in bed without it having hit yet).
I don’t remember having had dreams most nights anyway, so I don’t know about that. Even with some help I’m typically a bit under the low side of the amount of sleep I ought to be getting, over a week. Lucky if I break the eight-hour mark two days of the seven, usually in the 6.5-7.5 range the rest (I don’t take a gummy every single night, either, gotta keep that tolerance at bay). I think I dream (or, at least, remember it) more when I get the rare series of several days of 8+ hours, but I don’t track it so can’t say for sure, and yeah, no idea the effect of weed on that.
I can vouch that at my dose level I get way better sleep than I did the one time I tried a prescription sleep aid, which was Lunesta. If I didn’t get a solid 9 hours on that I’d wake up feeling hung-over, weed doesn’t give me extra trouble like that if I fail to get a full 8+ hours. Hell, even a “good” night on lunesta didn’t leave me feeling awesome in the morning. Other downsides: it mixes worse with other things, had a glass of wine with dinner? Better think twice about the lunesta, at least according to the label. On some decongestant medicine (in addition to antibiotics) for a sinus infection, and the sinus infection is wrecking your ability to sleep so you could really use it? Might not be able to take it with the other stuff. Weed’s so much better for those cases especially, bump the dose slightly and nothing short of something that’s gonna hospitalize me will be able to keep me from sleeping, and it famously doesn’t interact badly with very many other drugs, so it removes the very worst thing about most common illnesses like that (for me, anyway) which is the extreme sleep disruption.
I don't know either of them and have never noticed comments by either until now, but it seems to me that one is speaking autobiographically, describing how their view changed after personal experience they detailed, while explicitly admitting the ultimate rational insufficiency of such a position, even stating there may be sufficient counterexamples to contradict their experience. If that's an appeal to emotion it's either a highly insidious or a pretty impotent one. It doesn't read either way to me, but in either case I'm content to give them the benefit of the doubt, based on the general tone of their comment.
The other is simultaneously purely argumentative and fallacious in every regard, and lacks any evidence of even a shred of self-awareness, unlike its parent comment. It's shabby argumentative rhetoric lacking any insight or particular substance. There's a much better argument to be made from their viewpoint, but they didn't make anything resembling it.
Their other comment in the thread is similar in tone and form. People expressing concerns about marijuana potency increasing over time were summarily 'refuted' as actually arguing for smoking more material to achieve the same high. It's very r/iamverysmart, and it also checks off another fallacy box.
Like their other comment, there's a worthwhile point to be made there, but that wasn't it. Every useful argument has to acknowledge its own weakness (because every argument has one). One of them did, one of them didn't even attempt to.
I care less about what particular positions people hold and a lot more about how they hold them. I'd rather read high-minded debate between people who've arrived at their opinions after grappling with contradiction, than pithy dismissals of worthwhile comments.
And if one notes that I am guilty of the same, while fair, please consider that the comment to which I originally replied was far from worthwhile.
They will say yes, but you will never see most of them defending that in any news about alcohol or tobacco. For some, it's just a way to ignore the hypocrisy corner.
