Oops, you’re right. I meant Lisbon, not Barcelona. Dat American education right?
Edit: To clarify, the first time I cooked up this relationship (copying someone else), Lisbon to Berlin was what I landed on. Barcelona to Moscow also works.
On the assumption you’re American, where’s your molotov?
If you aren’t, you really don’t understand what you’re asking. Most people would have to drive hours or days to be anywhere worth rebelling, lose everything they care about in the process of just not showing up for work regardless of actions taken, and do it all alone because everyone else is under the same threat. All against the most powerful military in the world.
The US is big. Someone in LA coordinating with someone in NYC is culturally and geographically similar to someone in Barcelona Lisbon coordinating with someone in Berlin. And they have safety nets.
First she is a safe place where I’m not only encouraged to share vulnerable things, it’s where hiding things is actively against the effort. Frees me, mentally, to actually speak.
Second, she’s really good at gently nudging me out of my loops. I’ve contemplated my issues to hell, back, and again. She’s really good at finding me an off ramp.
Finally, after I was sexually assaulted, she’s been unquantifiable helpful. She answered honestly about things such as police reports and what I could expect (my case was unlikely to get the time of day, which I expected), strategies to address my recurring problems, and just being a decent human that judges me far less harshly than myself.
$20 on Amazon and you get the whole setup nice and easy. [Disparage Amazon here]
Given that the only other option for most people is “make someone else rich in a less comfortable environment”, I would say it’s pretty nice. Bonus points, you’re probably less productive there so you’re making them slightly less money.
Not all rebellion involves molotov cocktails.
Yeah, but the dementia riddled pedophile really cranked it to way past 11 and revealed how much more we should have been apologizing for all along by way of encouraging his followers to take the mask off.
I remember my sophomore thermodynamics class in college always seemed artificially hard because the only really difficult problems were ones where they decided to use fucking BTUs.
Worst one I’ve seen: username and password plus a 2FA email, BUT if you hit enter instead of clicking the last button it refreshes the page.
Value in the abstract sense of “desirable thing” not necessarily monetary.
If I’m having a conversation within and ask them about a thing, I’d much rather an “I don’t know” than whatever the plagiarism engine’s facsimile of an opinion is.
Lot of people have strong opinions about ai, many of them very bad. Because what should be a novelty or maybe a part of a more sophisticated system instead of the half assed implementation that it currently is. At the low low price of stealing from artists and fucking the environment.
Ok. But the context is that of a conversation. Where is the value sharing there?
What value is it adding at any point? If I wanted to use chat gpt, I’d go off myself.
I feel like most people with a new Windows installation aren’t going to know that one.
People installing firefox or chrome.
Yeah. There’s a lot of literature. Don’t have to marry this one. When Gaiman was found to be a creep, I gave up some of my favorites. And yet there is still more to fill the gap.
