And that answers OPs question.
I think most of who you’re hearing are Americans. I might hate Putin with all my heart, but he leads a different country. There isn’t “chain of command” between me and him.
Edit/more blathering:
I try to avoid the virulent speech (not always successfully I admit) about Americans’ choice in leadership. And to a large degree, at home, even that is outside my “sphere of influence”, but I at least have an opportunity to be heard by other parts of the electorate here.
And by the way, I think supporting Trump is supporting Putin. I hope I’m wrong, but I do believe that.
We can piss and moan about Putin (and we do, I’m not sure what you’re missing TBH), but investing time and emotional energy, it makes sense to start at home, where we at least should have some influence on self-determination.
Every minute is a death and a rebirth.
You play the hand you have.
Depending on your personal attachment to that car, your personal interest in a different car, your financial capacity, the ability to extend your lease is just another card you can play.
What is a “good deal” anyway? What are you seeking? Something pragmatic like equivalent reliability to your current car but for equal or less cost of ownership?
Absolutely. I worked somewhere where we routinely had alarms go off due to botnets swarming us with weird (and obnoxious) massive download tactics (of publicly available user generated content, that is).
If it can be gotten by anyone, it will be gotten by LLM trainers.
It’s open to the public. So, many other orgs are certainly doing it anyway.
May as well it’s not like they’ll be paying for many impressions.
I think I’ve heard about enough of experts predicting the future lately.
I signed up, out of curiosity but I don’t have any friends there that I know about. Kinda like Lemmy, but Lemmy but works great for not having friends.
Now that’s just a signal for training reinforcement

This is small potatoes but pretty often I ride my motorcycle to go to green spaces to go for a run. Which means people sometimes see me step off my bike and just start taking off my pants and stuff. (Spoiler: I’m wearing running gear underneath my protective gear.)
I think it’s because people want patterns to exist even where they don’t. But this one is extra sensitive. The declaration becomes even less interesting in non-base-ten systems. I’m not even sure why 225 would be intuitive to anybody. I guess that’s what makes it a shit post.
It’s alright, it’s art. You can’t expect it to reach everyone the same way.
Once a day, think of one simple thing that a depressed person would not do. Do that. For some examples:
Also, think of something that you do especially when depressed, and avoid doing it. For some examples:
Sometimes habits become compulsive, you can do a lot for yourself by adding even a small amount of friction to doing those things. For some examples:
For more proactive maintenance things I try to do, which are important to establish when I’m mentally in a good place, I might make a weekly list of happy chores, like make sure I talk to a family member, make sure I talk to a friend, make sure I actually see someone in person, or play a video game in a way that I’m making progress at it, or spend 10 minutes practicing an instrument.
You need to exploit your good times to establish patterns of good habits for your hard times.
This smells like ego projection. These are tools for jobs, they don’t have to compete.
And I suppose he’s a doctor now.
What is, standing or sitting?
Some music gear got stolen from my van parked in my driveway.
I called the cops the next day, they came over and took a report and told me nothing ever gets recovered.
Then I called around the music shops to report serial numbers and stuff. Within a day I got most of my equipment back, especially the expensive parts.
But the cop who took my report for some reason was tasked with doing the recovery from the second hand store, and he was really mad about it.
That was about 12 years ago, and since then I have come to the conclusion that I would only deploy police in conditions where I would be willing to deploy lethal force which is almost never, and ideally probably never.
