I thought it was the onion, but I searched and found it... $340 a night.

Had to double check the date to make sure I wasn't in a 2 month long coma and that it wasn't April fools.

I don't have an account, but I use squacker to follow artists I like.

Ok. I'm a bad person because I enjoy using a given browser. I get that.

This is a straw man argument; no one said you're a bad person for using a certain browser.

nobody cares about your "friendly remainders". We're talking about software here, not politics.

This is what they are criticising you about. You could be using Edge or Chrome, it wouldn't matter here, that wouldn't make you a bad person. The point is that pretending there is no connection when there is clearly a huge relevance here is massive.

By dedicating a certain amount of time for things I enjoy while pretending that the world outside doesn't exist. That time when I watch an anime, or read a book, or write fanfiction, or cook something delicious... that keeps me sane, it keeps me from falling back on my natural tendency to focus on all the bad things and ignore the good in the world.

You cannot allow yourself to be in that "constant stress" because it wears you down and grinds your sanity and willpower like a big belt sander.

That timeout revitalises me, and gives me the balance to deal with the stresses and worries about everything else.

Obviously there isn't a silver bullet, and mindfulness is probably the best bet here.

Unless you're plugging it in a dark place in the back of a PC and you forgot to bring your phone... So you just try and see which orientation is correct.

Neural Processing Unit. Basically AI processor inside the chip, alongside your CPU and GPU.

Yeah, you know, these cheap SD cards are so unreliable...

Yes that's true, but I was specifically replying to the person who said "jraphics", as if an acronym has to follow the pronunciation of the component words... The s in laser stands for stimulated, and we pronounce it like z... Never heard anyone complaining "we don't say ztimulated, so you shouldn't pronounce it as lazer".

How do you pronounce laser?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (6 children)

Both are equally correct, so use whatever pronunciation you want.

If I had this in my home, I would draw a face around this "mouth".

They care more about appearing smart to others to feel better about themselves, seems like low wisdom to me. High wisdom is realising that all that posturing makes no sense.

The way I see it, they are no different from people who spend money to show off and appear even richer than they actually are; posting pictures of themselves in fancy card, private jets, and other things like that. There are many deca-millionaires and billionaires who buy bigger and bigger yachts and jets for that posturing, even modifying their yacht to be longer so it will be registered as a longer yacht even though it's the same useable space...

IQ test isn't nearly as valuable as they make it to be in reality, and I guarantee that many of that club's members prepared and trained specifically for that test, which makes them appear smarter than they actually are to the people who care about IQ scores. Moreover, this gives them the incentive to believe that IQ scores matter a lot more, because it inflates their self-worth.
