That “usually nothing bad happens” will have to do.

It’s not just that. Most people here are into far left, anti-capitalist bs and people don’t care to deal with that

The portion of muslims with the most harmful and intolerant ideas are the sunnis (who accept the hadiths as legitimate scripture), who also make up the majority of muslims.

In a british questionaire a couple years back, 0% of muslims participating said homosexuality should be accepted.

If tolerance is a social contract, then for what reason do we accept it to be one-sided with the radically religious? At what portion of muslims acting/voting to bring sharia to western countries would people agree that it is necessary to act? 10%? 20%? 50%? Never?

No one ever claimed that one label accurately describes the sum of a people. But if it’s the only label that captures anywhere close to 100% of the problematic people, then that’s the one you use.

Absolutely relevant for religion and especially muslims.

A classic deepity

Nicer UI. Not exactly sure how the whole thing works, I think you are somehow able to enable/disable certain add-ons and from what I can gather extendes has a few more. Tl;dr: It’s better, consider giving it a try.

Ridiculously dumb take

Same. If it wasn’t for my adblockers, I’d have stopped using youtube long ago.

…which would be valid

I was turned off from the moment i saw at least most romance characters look 40-50 years old. Who the f wants those kinds of storylines with someone old enough to be their mom?

He got his money back and a 5dollar gift code. Shit happens

I mean, what’s the context here? I doubt doctors are sterilizing people because of some evil agenda. If she was already undergoing explorative abdominal surgery, I’d wager they found a pathology that requires her reproductive organs to be removed.

If they didn’t get her consent during the preoperative information, then that’s malpractice and a part I don’t understand. However, I’d assume the surgeons wanted to spare her from having to undergo sedation and surgery again at a later point in time, just to get her consent.

You are not connected to a grid, by having electrodes measure potential differences in your brain. If the chip (outside of your brain) were to malfunction, then the interface would simply no longer work. big deal. you replace it.

Again, wtf do you think a brain inplant is?

Not how a brain implant works.

If I could have direct interface to my devices (write text by thinking it, control video game characters,…) I would get one in a heartbeat.

Sadly it’ll be a while until the tech comes that far and it’ll have strictly medical usecases for quite some time.

Yeah programmers is the obvious one profession, that might largely be an exception. I don’t really know how progress in that profession is tracked or how you integrate newcomers into the team, but I suppose there may not be a huge disadvantage.

Also, your points are all personal ones, which I obviously grant. However, seeing this from an employers side of view, it’s a much harder sale.

The “we’d be more productive”-trope is not only not clearly true, but clearly wrong for most professions. Point and case: https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/be147193-0d32-41f5-9112-400f6e374f07.jpeg

Could be, but the chances of that happening are next to zero and it’d be foolish to assume this is the peak.

Because the largest portion of employees are stuck in job, which they don’t love and for which they won’t give more than the minimum required effort. The minimum required effort becomes less, when there is less supervision.

Productiveness also obviously decreases, when you have to communicate with your colleges via zoom, instead of just speaking to them over the table. Seems like none of you had to work yet, but there are few jobs in which you need almost no communication and cooperation with coworkers.

Also most jobs require walking through the building (even if you sit behind a computer most of the day), because pretty much every company has a portion of its business that can’t be digitized. Can’t go down into the storage hall of a carrier firm to fix workers messing up the labeling, when you are working from home.

This will definitely change though. As LLMs get better and develop new emergent properties, the gap between a human written story and an ai generated one will inevitably diminish.

Of course you will still need to provide a detailed and concrete input, so that the model can provide you with the most accurate result.

I feel like many people subscribe to a sort of human superiority complex, that is unjustified and which will quite certainly get stomped in the coming decades.

Every time redditors defend work from home: “we’d be sooo productive”

Every time redditors talk about work from home in the context of job search: “it’s soo relaxed, no ones constantly looking over your shoulder to check whether you are working. You can easily take gaming breaks”

Y’all are a walking meme

Tbh, at this point there’s no reason in them disabling ad blockers. If you haven’t gotten used to this insane amount of ads by experiencing the slow, uphill creep, having to go from seeing no ads to suddenly this, is impossible. I couldn’t watch youtube videos in the current state of ads, so I’d just have one less vice.

I had already stopped once, when youtube vanced went offline (until i found revanced) and I will do it again
