Cheers 🍻 and I appreciate it, but it’s all good! It’s a reasonable assumption to make, given the context

Yeah, that’s fair

It is broad, yeah. And I can’t speak for everyone, but speaking from my own experience, I certainly resent that my parents made that decision for me. Especially given that there’s no medical reason for it, I don’t see any reason why someone should violate someone else’s bodily autonomy like that.

Edit: also, not a boy :)

If you want your child to resent you for mutilating them with unnecessary surgery without their consent, go for it. If you want to be a good parent, don’t.

I find it valuable and worth supporting, so I donate a dollar a month. It’s not much, but I want to contribute (monetarily, in addition to editing)

I noticed an initial bump in LLM-generated text when ChatGPT first came out, but I think Wikipedia is starting to get a better handle on counteracting it. Better than a lot of other places on the internet, that’s for sure

Fucking random racists that got a $50,000 signing bonus

Robert Evans and the rest of the Cool Zone folks do It Could Happen Here as a daily Monday - Friday show, I really recommend it

And meds are like that little pot of smoke that makes the bees fall asleep and the buzzing fade

The appeal isn’t the format of the content per se, it’s the algorithm. The way it learns exactly what will keep you swiping makes it addictively entertaining.

If you don’t mind going through the trouble of the “interview” to join a private tracker, I have heard very good things about MyAnonaMouse

Thanks for posting that, I was about to! Molly Conger did a great episode of Weird Little Guys about this exact subject called Do We Really Need to Talk About Kevin?

It’s funny, because they clearly have the idea in their head that Wikipedia is a single organization capable of an ideological bias. When if you take a single look at some talk pages, it would become clear very quickly that Wikipedia is built on people vociferously disagreeing and bringing sources to make the information presented ever more credible and unbiased.

I just want to make sure I really know what websites to avoid so I don’t accidentally do a crime.

“I am a good person.”

My Catholic upbringing really ingrained in me the idea that I’m a fundamentally bad person. Turns out, even if you deconvert, those thought patterns will still plague you. So I have to remind myself often that just because I’m not Catholic or who my parents would like me to be, that doesn’t mean I’m doing anything wrong.

How do I short Nvidia so I can cash in on the bubble’s inevitable burst?

What an odd thing to say.

Ooh, salt is a good one!

Thanks, I’ll do my best! o7

Yeah, I buy CDs or vinyl quite often. I’ve got a few cassette tapes kicking around too. Bandcamp is also a good option to genuinely purchase the digital files
