The acab movement has caused more harm than it has salved. Furthering the ideas that there are no good cops means that nobody good will become a cop in the future, furthering the issue

Only band kids go to heck, their eternal punishment? Only sequels, no original film or book or tv show, just spin offs and sequels forever

Your environment has a tremendous impact on your emotions, in many cases depression is simply a chemical issue, kinda like a thunderstorm. Not much to do but prepare and seek shelter.

If you’re seeking to avoid general non chemical sadness then you should try to be around loving and kind people as much as possible, and seek solace in solitude when that’s not possible. Better thought patterns can lead to better outcomes as well.

Easiest way to figure this out is to analyze your own behavior when interacting with people you’re not interested in.

Your brain is inconsistent, use external tools to stay focused on your core thoughts better. Pick some thoughts that you want to stick with long term, I choose metacognition as my primary default thought topic, then if I need to redirect from something unpleasant I switch to that thought track.

Metacognition is a marathon, there isn’t one clear better methodology to improve everything about your thinking process, stay open and curious!

Do you think isolated communities could come up with reasonable resilience strategies? Can a mutual aid subculture exist for a long time within our current system as well?

More than fair, how much effort do we put in to make sure the ants have a comfortable life? Or even further, the tardigrades? I am on the optimistic side, hoping that a superintelligence holds a benevolent nostalgia/amusement for sentient life if it does indeed come to that.

There’s a chance that asi doesn’t happen and we stall indefinitely on a simple token prediction system, in which case the disruption could be limited to what we’ve seen already?

That is a tall order, shorter perhaps than writing an opengl driver

Vulkan is incredibly verbose and well documented, have you looked at the spec?

Ngl I’d give up my firstborn to have him instead of trump

A lot has changed since the 60s

Harris has me profoundly optimistic. She’s the most qualified candidate I’ll have had the chance to vote for in my lifetime.

Walz is fine, I was keen on Buttigieg but I’ll happily vote for Walz and let Buttigieg keep his important current position.

My biggest hope is that Kamala will draw out some of the less extreme right leaning women, nobody needs to know that they’re voting for the better candidate and God knows women need allies with the ongoing barrage.

This election cycle is not about fear for me, Harris is an easy candidate to vote for!

Looks like somebody hasn’t been doing their pondering exercises

None of us are in your shoes so it’s really tough to say what your coworkers’ motivations are, but at the end of the day you are yourself, you are in charge of your mental and physical well-being. When someone else does something minor and it affects you strongly it’s time to stop thinking about them and start thinking about what’s happening in your own body.

Unfortunately your emotions, like being offended, aren’t entirely in your control. There are a lot of brain connections rustling around up in your noggin that don’t pass through the filter of your consciousness.

The best advice I can offer is to redirect yourself when you start to get offended. Pick a favorite topic, something that you like to think about often, and “switch” to it when you feel yourself getting triggered.

As for how you should act when you aren’t greeted directly? I see no reason for you to change your behavior, just act as though nothing happened, because nothing did happen

No, I live here.

I hate

• religious zealotry
• massive dichotomy in polotical ideologies
• identity politics
• warmongering
• brainwashing (pledge of allegiance?!)
• poor treatment of poor and homeless
• prison complex
• poor education system
• incredibly expensive healthcare
• terrible zoning laws and car centricity
• hiroshima, native genocide, iraq, and so many more. The US has shed so much blood and terror inflicted on the world population
• world police, vigilante, the US is basically every bad movie villian in country form
• regressing views on women’s rights
• the history of slavery

This old tony is the GOAT

Cat cafe, you can chill in there for ages slurpin on coffee surrounded by the lil gremlins

Wow what a neat project, I have spent a lot of time recently working around vulkan on m1 machines with compatibility layers and while it’s not a huge pain it does suck to miss out on some of the more powerful features of vulkan that the hardware is certainly capable of. I’m not keen on learning metal to bridge the gap and this is just what the doctor ordered.

This will be a huge boon for me, way to go!

We don’t deserve our open source heroes, so grateful for the incredible free software ecosystem

Gimp, 7zip, blender, vlc, open office, the kernel, thousands of others, I feel like our lives have been universally improved by these inverted charity projects. The few taking care of the undeserving many.
