He doesn’t like it.

At this point I think there’s a pathological lack of insight going on with Zack.

Quickly recapping my Whole Dumb Story so far: ever since puberty, I’ve had this obsessive sexual fantasy about being magically transformed into a woman, which got contextualized by these life-changing Sequences of blog posts by Eliezer Yudkowsky that taught me (amongst many other things) how fundamentally disconnected from reality my fantasy was. So it came as a huge surprise when, around 2016, the “rationalist” community that had formed around the Sequences seemingly unanimously decided that guys like me might actually be women in some unspecified metaphysical sense.

Goddamn, what an opening. I really hope this is an elaborate troll and not someone driven insane by internet transphobia and the Sequences.

Not gonna all read that, though.

There’s a reason he took the coward’s way out. Would have been much better to have held him accountable until the day he dies.

Both those comments are voted down and replies aren’t agreeing.

They weren’t when I posted them.

HN has its biases and problems, but I think you’re misrepresenting it.

No I’m not.

No, I’m linking the posts with the actual content in the OP.

Federating was a mistake.

And this just solidifies my choice to use the AGPL for most of my projects

Read a book by yourself or join a cult where people will pat you on the back for being Really Smart™ for writing long blog posts?

God it feels so fucking good not knowing who any of these idiots are, time to ruin that feeling forever

USWDS is new and is a response to exactly that problem. You’d be blaming people who have nothing to do with the status quo who were hired to fix the problems you’ve experienced.

I’m using passkeys in Firefox everyday just fine.

From what I remember, EA was always popularized by rationalist culture for like two decades.

I think more serious and organic discussion isn’t necessarily going to be positive all the time.

He made a big deal about how his career would be ruined and he’d have to stop his public practice if he was “doxxed”

Cool opinion

Not after all of the “intellectuals” showed their asses on Twitter or in real life lol

Can only play that card as long as you don’t give away your hand by being a complete moron in public over and over again

Approximating numerical probabilities is required if you want to make coherent decisions.

I hate everything about this sentence within its context.

That’s exactly the same trajectory I had lol

The last decade has like this for me on so many levels. It leaves me wondering how much of the old world died and how much of it we were just blind to, or chose to ignore, in the past.

I have a friend who stopped taking his medication and went full on schizophrenic, and that’s how it feels when yet another person gets brain worms, except they’re not suffering from mental illness, just ego, resentment and dumb ideas.

Watching them some of them become grifters who actively infect people with their own disease is a trip on top of all of that.

You’re paying for convenience for literally everything, and this price gouging has effects on the market as a whole by raising price points.

If delivery apps find that people will pay 30% more for a Big Mac, plus several additional fees and tip, it only makes sense for McDonald’s to eventually raise Big Mac prices by 0-30%, minus any fee or tip because there are none.

P(Doom) is calculated by however you were feeling that particular morning.
