  • I feel like they did the equivalent of watching it burn, as the fire department. Gaza was a fire they could have put out, they let it burn. They were making headway on climate change and then promoted fracking at the debate. Biden was clearly going to be a problem but they just let it burn until it was a mess.

    We have to be vocal. People want change. We can’t have another election where the dems run on “at least we aren’t pouring gasoline on it like the GOP”.

    They don’t need pity, their feelings don’t have to be protected. We can be harsh with them.




  • Are you happy? Is the vibe nice? Are people friendly? Are you being paid a fair amount or can you get more at an other job? Do they respect your private life, are they stressing you out? How is the commute?

    There are other things to consider then industry best practices. You might very well end up in a place that treats you like shit, is much farther and let’s you go the moment they don’t need you.


  • I overpressure myself, as if I was constipated, each time I get cravings. I basically make my body as uncomfortable as I can so it learns that cravings=pain.

    In the past, I’ve used hand rolled tobacco to ween myself off. It’s a lot harder to just grab a smoke when driving for instance. But cold turkey is best. I usually wait until I get sick before starting stopping since it tends to skip the nasty craving in the first few days. After a week or two, it gets much easier.

    Remember, having a smoke every now and then will work until it doesn’t.







  • It would be a great idea if added to an app, I just don’t think it belongs in the comment section. It will needlessly bloat the comments for a seriously small minority and be detrimental to the experience.

    And lets be honest, its mostly laziness or not knowing how easy it is to use a calendar. The amount of users that can use lemmy but cannot share or copy/paste into a calendar because their brain works different is clearly very low and probably non-existant.

    Ask it from the app devs, I’m sure one of them will see the use in it. No need to force it on us.






  • I would say the person doing the crime himself is to blame for his own death. I think there’s a difference between an accomplice and an innocent dying.

    But its a fine line, I agree, and also depends on other variables. If I start applying it to other examples:

    If you are trespassing in a train tunnel doing graffiti, the train comes and you get out but your buddy gets hit, is it murder? I’d say not really.

    If you’re racing and your buddy hits a tree, it’s not really murder either yet he wouldn’t of been racing alone. It’s a two player sport so I’d tend to say guilty.

    Would your buddy have stayed home instead of robbing the store if you weren’t there to help him, it’s hard to say but I’d tend to go not guilty.

    It also seems a bit vindictive but like I said, I understand the sentiment.




  • These important limitations highlight why it’s still important to have humans involved in the analysis process here. The NYT notes that, after querying its LLMs to help identify “topics of interest” and “recurring themes,” its reporters “then manually reviewed each passage and used our own judgment to determine the meaning and relevance of each clip… Every quote and video clip from the meetings in this article was checked against the original recording to ensure it was accurate, correctly represented the speaker’s meaning and fairly represented the context in which it was said.”

    It’s literally the paragraph right after.

    They verify it.
