“I would give anything to have an assistant who understood my voice and context and my intent well enough “
Translation: I don’t want to put in the effort to make myself clear to others, I want to babble along being dependent on a machine to communicate with others and while we are at it, I want the machine to consider all my wishes and implement the rhetoric to manipulate everyone listening to my machine to do my bidding.
Girls and women can be strong, they can be more on the masculine side and still identify as women. They can be muscular and still identify as women.
There’s absolutely nothing that hinders you to be a woman if that’s what you feel you are.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking because you don’t fulfill 100% of the stereotype you can’t be a woman.
But in the end it all boils down to whether you feel like the assigned gender is not the correct one for you.
Computer: I have one workstation and three laptops, so I guess I don’t really need a backup plan there.
Washing machine: I’d just use a laundromat.
Phone: I have three phones, so I’m covered.
Toaster: No problem — I’ll just eat untoasted bread.
Dishwasher: I wouldn’t like it, but I’d just wash the dishes myself.
Stove: I could eat salads or order takeout.
Electric mixer / hand blender: order a new one and until it arrives I won’t cook stuff that requires one of those
Printer: I’d print at work.
Vacuum cleaner: I’d use a broom instead.
Electric kettle: I’d boil water on the stove using a pot.
Heating: lucky me, it’s summer, tell the landlord to take care of it (they need to, by law)
Fridge: fuck me, it’s summer, order a new one
As for other devices: no microwave (I prefer real cooking to reheating), no TV (haven’t had one for 30 years), no dryer (I just hang clothes on the hamper), no coffee machine (I do pour-over instead), no AC as this is unusual here

Almost every religion has some kind of missionary element, trying to spread or enforce its beliefs (and selling it as eternal truth). That’s basically how they survive and grow.
That’s the core problem for me: the need to convince others to believe the same thing. It turns personal belief into pressure, and that’s exactly why I don’t trust any religion.
Yes, it’s not all religions, but … (you should know how to finish the sentence)
What I tried so far:
It’s not perfect, but it helps not feeling so damn helpless.
Funny how he talks about design making products seamless and convenient and how that’s bad for us and then he switches to the sponsor of this video praising how it’s seamless and convenient.
It’s important to say this again and again to make sure everyone knows and no-one forgets.
That’s surely one reason. Another would be collecting data to create profiles to make advertising and political manipulation even more effective.
Easy soliton: delete your Amazon account, not just prime.
Auf jeden Fall wird es ab jetzt normal werden. Vermutlich bis zum Zusammenbruch des Golfstroms, dann wird es kälter.
I agree, the internet started dying before AI, not necessarily because of repetition or predictability, at least from my pov. It’s the political manipulation, the greed for getting and selling data and the advertising that is killing the internet.
AI is just the last blow to something that is already gasping for air.
Sounds like what women are going through.
At least women in the US are basically back to those dark places.
Some GMOs are approved and released before we fully understand their long-term ecological or health impacts. While short-term studies may show no harm, ecological processes unfold over decades.
Another thing is that introducing glowing flowers might make genetic modification seem harmless or trivial. This could lead to less critical public debate and a gradual erosion of caution in how such technologies are used.
Probably very unpopular opinion. I don’t get it how you could buy genetically modified plants.
-unpredictable impact on ecosystems
-uncontrolled spread through insects/seed
-no long term studies available
I really wish people would be more responsible with our environment.

Yes, maybe they had a bad day, they should still be able to control their anger.
It’s important to be kind, but it’s also necessary to set boundaries.
Why does this look like an angry log is biting into some leg or arm?
I.e. to fight fascism.
Trump’s fascism isn’t just a local threat, it’s a global one, so we are all affected and we all need to fight against this.
