My immediate reaction is that the owner probably took the picture himself trying to go viral and immediately took it down. Nothing gets solved in this country anymore unless there's a dollar to be made and looking like a good person is somehow more important than being a good person. Why would the person even read it on the front door? Why not discretely package some food and put it next to the dumpster with a note stuck to it? Nothing about this makes sense when you analyze it. The few real heroes of this country are unsung, the rest is just virtue signaling.

Good sex is honestly a toss up, I've had great sex in horrible relationships and bad sex in great relationships. I understand being in love with someone enhances it but love is a feeling which is impossible to sustain permanently

Yes but the comment i replied to is insinuating that EFT active players are up despite the community backlash

Agreed. I think we took self expression too far. Things like the Internet, hip hop, counter culture etc definitely changed how we express ourselves. I cringe at the idea of how I defended the use of words and phrases even as an adult, hiding behind defenses like "intent matters". It wasn't until I was in my late 20s that I started to think about how the things that I express might be harmful to others. Thankfully I don't see many kids act like we acted. I even caution my son against the use of phrases that might be worded too strongly, such as something "being stupid". If we can give our children a world to inherit, I think they can come closer than we've ever been to world peace.

I love that Aaron Swartz is mentioned anytime Spez is mentioned. Aaron will always be a hero to me, and Spez is the antithesis of everything Aaron stood for.

Was there really? Lol haven't been on twitch for a week or so

Thanks, that's pretty helpful. I'll save that because there are a lot of useful comments. I feel like my brain is an operating system with a highly powerful processor but it has a defect where it accidentally kills processes.

Yeah but who's gonna eat a whole pizza by themselves? They probably had two slices like a normal person and ate the rest the next day.

Imagine if the DNC gave democrats a worthy candidate. Then we wouldn't have to strongarm democrats to vote for democratic candidates.

Same with motorcycles. All year is motorcycle weather for me

That's usually true at first, showing users content they like is gratifying to the user, but satisfied users don't stay on the app. So for example, I like motorcycles, humor, tech, dog content, and poker. Tik Tok could show me relevant videos and I'd maybe browse for a few minutes and then go do something else. But the algorithm kind of slows down the dopamine hits/relevant videos and starts inserting more content that is depressing/irrelevant... The algorithm uses the same logic that makes gambling so addictive, they'll make you feel like the dopamine hit is just around the corner, except it takes a bit longer to get there every time. "One more hand" ...>

Facebook was at its worst in 2014-2018 or so. The algorithm became incredibly rage-inducing and pervasive. Facebook would intentionally show you content that you dislike(like right-wing bullshit) and if the more you interacted with it(especially if it was dislike) facebook would show you more and more of that. I was getting bombarded by extremism ideologies on Facebook and at the time I didn't understand that this was the algorithm.

The Internet is no longer just "likes cat video, give more cat videos", and pushing that notion is uneducated. Tik Tok is the worst of all the apps by far, but all of the social media companies use sophisticated algorithms that intentionally fuck with you just to get you addicted to their apps.

I think more people need to be informed on how these algorithms work and why they are so dangerous, especially to kids. Speaking of kids, there's a lot of content on TikTok which sexualizes underage teens. Also, I would block literally every thirst trap on TikTok that showed up in my feed, because that is simply the last thing I want to see on TikTok, yet the algorithm is so aggressive, it will continue to push content that you dislike so you are unsatisfied for longer.

I've deleted Tik Tok a few times in the past but I haven't used it in about 2 years or so. Imagine how little the average person in this country knows about these algorithms.

I imagine if your book got translated into hundreds of different languages, eventually people would add numbers to the verses. Sometimes the translated version is not a great translation to the original languages intent, so it's easy to reference the verse number across other translations or compare it across languages
