Idk man, i only just heard about this from this article, but just reading through the article I can’t imagine anyone I would consider normal drowning, beating to death, then tying the dead puppy to the back of a motorcycle and dragging it through the wilderness. The article says alcohol was involved so I’d put my money on this guy being a violent piece of shit to begin with

Funny you mention that too, the last paper book I finished was a snow day where I got so T’d that the only thing I could focus on was words on the page as opposed to trying to follow a show or video game. Just goes to show that everyone is different

This is a very interesting take, I like the way you reframe it. Though for me personally the talking to people part is the opposite, when I’m socializing stoned I’m not in my head thinking about if a turn of phrase is weird or awkward, but when I’m sober I get anxious talking to people for too long without a purposeful topic cause I’m worried I’m being weird

I think that considering the federal bill in the US currently aimed at forcing ISPs and VPN providers to block foreign piracy websites that copyright holders absolutely see piracy as an untapped market. Even if their plan is to ban their competition rather than change their business practices in a way that would attract those customers

When I first heard about Louis C.K.'s sexual misconduct I thought it was not the biggest deal in the world, thinking naively that he admitted to it and that he had “asked” first, but I have since come to realize that he is just a predator who manipulates his audience with his “schlub” persona to avoid responsibility for his own actions.

If you really want to know who Loius C.K. is, you should checkout the Comedy Without Errors youtube channel which does a phenomenal deep dive into him and his response to the allegations. It comes off almost like several episodes of behind the bastards.

The worst is when you get to the point where you’ve read the same passage so many times that you know all of the words in it, in the correct order but they have been totally divorced from all meaning and are just a series of unconnected words

I was following along when they initially announced it and while I personally think its an awful idea, it did seem to stem not from a profit motive but an intention to make Wikipedia easier to use and more effective, and when the vast majority of contributors and editors responded to tell Wikipedia that it was an atrocious idea and that they shouldn’t do it they listened and scrapped the plan.

My point being, isn’t it better as a whole that they’re willing to consider new things but will also listen to the feedback they get from their users and maintainers and choose not to implement ideas that are wildly unpopular?

Writing off all of Wikipedia (the most effective tool for collaborative knowledge collection in human history) just because they announced a well intentioned tool addition and then scrapped the plan when they realized it was unpopular and would likely degrade their platform seems short sighted at best imo.

Correct me if im wrong, but haven’t they since gone back on AI integration, and are no longer planning any, after backlash from their contributors?
