If Dave thought that this picture of himself (clearly unshowered) was something to throw up on a billboard, I already know why he was struggling with dating apps.
I understand how much dating apps suck. But if you reject the reality that your pictures shouldn’t demonstrate a lack of basic hygiene, you’re not even really participating. It’s like insisting on going to bat with a pool noodle; I admire your dedication but nobody can consider it a genuine attempt.

There have always been susceptible idiots.
Nazi’s are just a byproduct of an eroding standard of living. When things are good and getting better, there just isn’t the fertile ground for that kind of ideology, even among the idiots.
When standard of living is on the decline? Anyone who gives a simple answer and a simple solution gets the attention of idiots.
So you trick your stomach like you’d trick a dog by hiding medicine in their food?
I wtf’d that you could do 100W w/ USB… Then I can see that new specs are to allow 240W.
If I was a SpaceX employee, I would not accept sperm in exchange for seeding a mars colony
I think the shower thought is centered around IF a ubiquitous bug that required physical access to the machine to resolve occurred simultaneously across all Linux machines.
If you couldn’t remotely resolve the issues, regardless of your competence, simply the WALK to each machine and hooking up a KVM to each one would take a long time.
I’m not in a place to actually help as I’m on vacation: but since it’s a compile issue, if you posted a minimally failing-to-compilr version (no credentials) of your full YAML someone could conceivably be able to troubleshoot it
I think pretty much everyone views their political ideology as “the one that stands for freedom”, and it just comes down to what it means to be “free”, and the follow up of free from what.
I feel like libertarians would love the concept of FOSS and decentralization, and I don’t think anyone would argue they skew left.
So, I disagree that FOSS is inherently left wing. I think it’s attractive to the left wing for many good reasons. I think people project their own politics onto whatever they love, and things can be loved by very different groups for different reasons.
The real acronym for multiple personalities disorder. It spiked in popularity in 2021-22.
I think if society is putting “normal” on a pedestal, admiring and adoring that “trait”, that’s what a narcissist will want to be viewed as, and would fight any statement suggesting the contrary.
In the last decade, I’d say that there have been plenty of examples of social media elevating and celebrating many neuro-divergent conditions. Autism, ADHD, Tourette’s and DID.
I think that’s awesome, and I love it, and I never want things to go back on this. My nephews are diagnosed by an actual doctor neurospicy and I’m like, overcome and overwhelmed with gratitude that they’ll get to opportunity to grow up in a world of acceptance that I couldn’t have dared to dream could exist when I was a kid.
But, this new reality has brought out the narcissists like flies to honey. Suddenly everyone was self diagnosing DID. The irony being that they don’t have DID, but that it’s a huge red flag for narcissism.
My opinion is that if you obsess about trying to co-opt the concept of “diagnosis” so that you can have a word for yourself when you’re 0.1σ off the median, then that word exists, but it’s just “narcissist”.
We’re not oblivious ;)
If the goal is to visualize growth trends, I don’t think raw user counts are the correct value to track on the Y-axis at all. That’s where my head was at when I said it doesn’t make sense. Abusing the Y-axis to try and coax data out in this case is just a symptom of having the wrong measure.
Daily new users. Percent user growth.
Yeah when I showed the cop the graph of my speed before getting in my car to be 67000mph (speed of the earth around the sun) to 67080mphwhen I was driving it he couldn’t see the difference so I didn’t get the ticket.
Or sometimes choosing a common-sense reference makes sense.
Which isn’t to say THIS one does, it doesn’t, but the absolutism of “it’s nerf or nothing” is a tad extreme.
Now you know how I feel about Tutankhamun.
I don’t think libertarians really see wage slavery as the worst thing.
I think the fundamental difference is that libertarians don’t care about outcomes. Or, at least they don’t think that they do as long as they have food in their stomach and a barrier against the cold.
In their minds, it’s all about them not being compelled to partake in anything they don’t want to. If that means starving, fine (so they say, and I’m very suspicious of this claim), but at least there was no authority over them.
Most sane people strike a balance between valuing good practical outcomes, and more abstract notions like liberty and justice.
Full authoritarians say that only outcomes are important, that abstract notions like freedom are impediments to the greatest good, and you end up with things like the USSR.
So you’re right that there wouldn’t be a minimum wage… But you’re wrong to appeal to the concept of wage slavery because it presupposes a libertarian values satisfactory outcomes. They don’t.
Honestly there is no talking down a libertarian without first convincing them their lives are worth more than some definition of liberty.
Yes, but I’d argue that capital has a more profound impact than “modern medicine”.
There is a massive MASSIVE selection pressure against reproduction for if you can afford kids or not.
You can look around the world and see countries with amazing health outcomes, beyond anything our ancestors even a few generations back could have dreamed of…
… And yet these countries no longer even have children at a replacement rate.
I’m not saying medicine isn’t a factor… Just saying that in terms of evolutionary pressure, capitalism is even greater a pressure.
I want a Nice Cage move where he steals the constitution but everyone is super pedantic any time someone refers to the stolen artifact as the constitution.
I don’t know if it’d be a better bit if HE always calls it the constitution and everyone else (including some backwoods “Deliverance” type character) is just like “… ackshully… I may not be too good on book learnin’ but that’m thar document ain’t no constitution cuz’ it don’t reference no democratically ratified amendments”, driving Nic to freak the fuck out…
Or if everyone else calls it the constitution and Nic is the one constantly telling people it isn’t actually, eventually freaking out.
Maybe I’m too old to be a good judge of what good hair looks like. That hair, especially with the large chunks (instead of just frizz) of flyaways looks dirty to me. Maybe it’s an artifact of the photoshopping?
If people are into it, awesome.
If people aren’t, and he loves it, still awesome.
My gut reaction to seeing it is “dirty” (rightly or wrongly), and on a dating app where left swipes are based on gut decisions in a fraction of a second.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with the guy, and I think switching the format is good, because you can’t dismiss a billboard as quickly as a tinder profile.
