Sure, but that is such a long time ago. The relevant thing is liberals vs. conservatives. In the 1850s Republicans were the liberal party. It's funny how now they try to claim credit for Lincoln and it's uh okay, so who is it that displays confederate flags now? Democrats?
I get confused, but what I prefer based on living far north is for evenings to be longer. It seems wrong to me when winter approaches and the sun starts going down around 6-7, then bam, the time change happens and the sun starts going down at 5. It's the exact opposite of what I'd prefer. I guess people active in the early morning like it. Ultimately I just think it's dumb to change the clocks. We should just pick one or the other.
This would be about the only good thing Republicans have done ever if they pass this. Hope they don't let states opt out. When I lived up north by Canada, the logic was "you don't want kids having to walk to/from school when it's dark!!" Okay, so... wow, did you know they could change school hours.
Yes, that’s right. I believe that the concept of fresh air helping people in a closed room is not novel. In fact, many people are aware of co2.
But back in real life where we’re not angsty dweebs who confront people about minor comments online, I was really just making fun of corporate management culture. Hope that helps your understanding.
I think that when people say they need fresh air, they are likely to be thinking that. Many people in a closed room for a time makes the air "stuffy". People may not realize it is CO2 on an explicit intellectual level, but realize it on another level.
My cousin lives this way. He has lived with his parents for 30 years other than about 2 years where he had an apartment or watched someone's house while they were away. Hasn't had a normal girlfriend, hasn't had a job, hasn't really tried to do either. he takes video games very seriously, but not enough to make money from them somehow.
Did you read the title? It says to spend Walmart and Amazon's money on AI. And you said "those companies aren't profitable either" which would mean, using normal rules of English grammar, that "Walmart and Amazon aren't profitable and OpenAI and Anthropic aren't profitable either". So what are you talking about? What does "either" mean?
In my experience, people often make choices based on not cool things. Sometimes it depends on the personalities of people involved and they go with who is in a bigger position of power. It can also depend on the information that they provided or have access to. For instance, if you broke up with someone who is vengeful or dishonest, they might spread a lot of lies about you. They can be very sneaky and plant the seeds of suspicion. Unfortunately, I’ve also learned that some people will just believe anything without actual evidence or even logic.
For example, one person I split up with ran a forum about 15 years ago. She immediately banned me from the forum, and then was saying a bunch of really exaggerated or just plain false things about me in a private area of the forum to a couple dozen people we had both known for years. I was blocked from there, so I didn’t even know what she was saying and I couldn’t defend myself, and these people believed all these crazy things about me. It's nuts to have people spreading really defamatory stories about you and you don't even know what they are and have no chance to defend yourself or refute them.
More recently I’ve seen stuff like someone had a live stream, and we had a handful of friends and acquaintances who would watch it. After we split up, people doing pretty weird and annoying trolling on there. She just kept saying without any evidence that it was obviously me and I’m so crazy, so nuts, so lonely, so drunk and so on. And then if I go on and I’m like what what the hell? I’m not doing this, I just get blocked and ridiculed.
So in either situation, some people around still talked to me and stayed friends, they said things like “well, we didn’t even know of what she was saying was true”, but it definitely raised a lot of serious distrust and suspicions that harmed friendships. Total smear campaign. However, people stuck with them more than me because I was cut out of contact, and they had more advatanages hanging out with that person than me - stay on the forum, stay on the stream.
So in general, it seems to me like people go to one side or the other. It’s hard to be friends with people who totally hate each other. You have to make sure you don’t mention one to the other. And also, it leads to resentment. Like if there’s this person who totally screwed me over, it irritates me that someone would still be friends with them after seeing what an awful person they can be and I feel like if they’re still friends with them, they’re not standing up for me. I don’t like people trying to dictate who I’m friends with myself, but still I think OK, so my ex lied to me cheated on me stole from me, and is still trying to harm me, and they’re just like oh, that’s cool.
In what ways does it aggressively get in your way?
