  • Maybe it's to do with what a literal dogwhistle is. I can't really make heads or tails of this, but that's maybe just because my brain is on a completely different wavelength. Like dogs can hear specific frequencies humans can't. Maybe trumpists hear certain things in between this word soup that actually makes sense on some level.

    Or maybe he's just a senile old man and his followers are incapable of critical thought when it comes to him.

  • A friend of mine is building something like that but it's still very early days, also I think it's limited to eToro I think. Usually APIs are available so maybe there's a possibility to whip something up yourself

  • Why u still single?

  • At some point all the fun stuff from a new relationship dies down and most of it just turns into a drag. The deepest conversations you'll have are about what to eat or whether you'll be home at a regular time.

    I know this is not the case in all marriages but most of them that end in divorce are merely because it started as something fun, marriage seemed the next logical step and then you're sort of locked into it, longing back to the excitement of getting to know each other. Being single is pretty much like that unless you never meet new people you have a fun couple of weeks with before never seeing each other again.

  • Cause I got married. It's not that different from being single.

  • No discrete GPU? When my 4070 was slightly out of its depth on context for Mistral-NeMo 12B a while back it offloaded some to my cpu and system RAM and it was so slow. Recipe generation timed out after 10 mins while on VRAM it takes 30 seconds.

  • There was this guy who started college when I was chairman of the study association for IT. He was a bit of a geek even by IT standards, but all in all okay guy who brought a lot of enthusiasm.

    He was never really understood by his surroundings, had a tough childhood with some trauma. Went into special needs schools and working his way up to study IT at a good school. He was like 26 when he started, the more usual age being 18 or even 17.

    He was of course always welcome at our study association and everyone accepted him for who he was. He ended up also doing board work for the study association.

    Couple years later, I'd already graduated, we met at a general meeting for the association and afterwards he took me apart to say that he'd graduated. He said that it was because of me giving a speech to all first-years that he'd felt more or less at home, felt confident enough to join the association, found friends and that that helped him get his diploma. He said it was because of me he got where he was.

    I told him it was not because of me. He got to college before even meeting me. I was just there along the way to nudge him, unknowingly, towards a group of positive people who were always happy to help.

    He'd had tears in his eyes and I have him a quick hug. I then told him this study association did a lot of good for me too. Sometimes all you need to do is step into something to generate great change in your life.

  • How common is it for people in your social circle of relative/friends to own their homes? (What country btw?)

  • Netherlands, all of us also. Two of them solo, one of which bought it like 3 years ago. Me and my wife bought ours in 23, we're in the market currently.

    All of us have hbo level jobs, one of us used to be entrepreneur. Sold his company. The guys all work in IT.

  • College. I was doing some student council stuff, not a lot of studying. The fun years were pretty much up by then anyway.

  • Was the world always a fucked up place?

  • I'm not your target demographic but it's not really a stretch to say that pretty much everything that's happening today has happened before and will keep happening. Like others say it's mostly because there is more coverage (and maybe some more nuance causing more opinions). Back in the 50s the US started fighting in Korea and pretty much the entire US could see why and supported it. Then when Vietnam happened, there was a bit more coverage which also caused more dissent. Since then I think petty much every 5 years or so the US has been fighting wars in the Middle East. The fight with Iran is nothing new (look up Iran-Contra for instance).

    Environmental concern has been around for well over 60 years and yes, we are a lot further along but by now the smart money is on people will never be able to steer it in a positive direction so it's pretty much damage limitation where possible.

    In the end it's not really about how fucked up global events are, it's more about finding the light in when they all seem a bit less fucked up than it used to be.

  • This is pretty much the step I need to get back to listening to my own music rather than streaming. Can it plugin to 'offline' apps?

  • Is this the most bang for the buck?

  • It kinda depends on what you want to do with it but it'd be better to get a a secondhand pc somewhere for office use with like an i5 or i7 from recent times and try to fit a small recent GPU in there. The specs you are giving will maybe run some very basic games at 1080p60 but will be completely obsolete in less than 2 years.

    It might even be better bang for buck to get an Xbox Series S at this point, you can hook up keyboards and mice to it.

  • I'd say that second one is nearing a sunk cost fallacy making it akin to cognitive dissonance. That's the term usually described in addiction and certain splurge purchases, meaning that your brain will try to reason around anything against a certain idea.

    Example: I shouldn't have another drink because I still need to drive and I have got a pretty busy day tomorrow. Then again, I could always take the bus home and call in sick tomorrow. I deserve another drink because I worked hard today.

  • I was more or less forced to contribute at home. It was not just cooking, but the whole process of dinner. It started with me having to set the table, clear the table, do the dishes and when we got a dishwasher, load it. Then I also had to peel potatoes, cut vegetables. The older I got, the more responsibilities I got. At some point I had a dedicated day in the week where nobody would be able to cook for me and others would eat later than I would. These days were initially just me and my dad, so my dad showed me literally once how he made pasta bolognese. The next week, it was my turn. I was given feedback on my cooking and the next week I could try again. I kinda liked doing it so in due time, I also had to cook on another weekday. My mom would show me how she handled certain things and after a while, but the time I was 16, I could make a couple of dishes and did so at least twice a week. My sister was gearing up to be a professional athlete (sadly she never made it that far) so she rarely cooked but once she stopped her sport, she would also cook twice a week.

    This is less the story of how I learned to cook and more the story of how my parents trained their servants to cook for them.

  • Can recommend Color Out Of Space if you're the type that appreciates a bit of Nick Cage. It's Lovecraftian horror but somehow also has Tommy Chong in its cast.

    And why not make it a more Cage-y by with Renfield and Longlegs? Throw in some Willy's Wonderland and you'll be golden.

  • A Dutch talkshow host absolutely wrecked the notion of this sport, and skeleton as well. It's basically just going down a slide one at a time on a little sled, was his point. And the difference between these sports is the way you lie on the sled.
