> This one hurts, it really hurts. I think this hurts worse than Musk buying/poisoning/killing Twitter. I've mentioned this before but a keyboard feels like an extension of your body People need to take a break. Being terminally online and complaining about everything is not a healthy way of life.
Oh dear, I literally just had a dream last night about how MS was gonna build GPT into the keyboard and even in my dream I thought "what a complete lack of reflection that must have taken, to think this is a good idea." Guess I'm on the search for a new keyboard as well then. le sigh...

Thanks for sharing. I think of it like a messy divorce or a business deal gone wrong. Sure some issues may be clear cut but most of the time you're never going to get the full story without listening to both sides. And even then you're not guaranteed the truth.

> I'm not a right wing American. I'm a European who... Did Twitter even care about your local politics before Musk? They banned Trump, while the ayatollah, CCP etc. retrained their accounts. Facebook was also actively censoring discussion related to American politics, while hardly noticing that a literal genocide was being coordinated on their platform in southeast Asia.
Was this a decision or simply a lack of resources for that area.

> I think if you equate "helping Ukraine defend itself against ethnic eradication" with "support an awful war" your judgement on what is a balanced debate is not reliable. I said I support the Ukraine, but I don't believe in everything that the mainstream media is telling us. What you said there is quite a jump from what I said and exactly the type of nonsense that people would say in order to silence any meaningful…
What is the mainstream media? Is there a conspiracy between unrelated news organizations around the world to help Ukraine?

> The same shit happens when driving. In a broader sense, it never fails to amaze me that a kilo and a half of goopy cells that evolved to work out where the plants that won't kill you and where to trap rabbits in the next valley are - things that are, generally speaking, not much further than you can see - can visualise every step and turn of a journey of hundreds of miles, while being shoved through space at roughl…
What really blows my mind about driving is that with a little bit of training, we get a feel for how big the car is. You can squeeze into a tight parking lot and you won't scratch your or the other car! By feel! We can somehow transfer our feeling for how big our body is to avoid running into obstacles, to feel how big our car is. There is nothing in the history of mankind that would need for this to be a possible sk…

It is not a jump. When it comes to genocide, you are either for it or against. There is no center, no above, no neutral. The only other option is being unaware. What is being done in the west is people continuously being made aware and forced to make a choice. It's not a pleasant choice to make either way, so it's understandable that people are not happy to have to make it. But trying to carve out a neutral position…
What are you going to do about it, tiger?
You can't force anybody to think the way you want them to think. You are only going to frustrate yourself with your power trip fantasy.

I mean, "4 hour drive to get to England" also puts quite a limit on the search space.
A lot of France and Belgium is about one 4 hour drive away from England ;)
4 hour drive and you're about half way to your parent's place, and they're in the same province.
