First off, you are not pathetic, the world is depressing. And just having the intent to do this is a great start. Be kind to yourself, no one else can do that for you.

The first thing to do is forget all of those grand ideas about having a giant garden with all sorts of produce. Even if that is your end goal, don’t think about that! It will only demotivate you, because it seems so far away from where you are now.

The second thing to do is go to your local library and get some books about gardening. The simpler the better, is they have gardening books for kids then start with those.

Read those books. Take some easy examples, like herbs, lettuce, or garlic. Start small, and don’t overdo yourself. Try to enjoy what you are doing, and stay with the present task. Don’t push yourself immediately to do more.

Let that enjoyment be your guide. If you can focus on feeling good about what you are doing, then the rest will come without effort.

I don’t agree with the assumption that any of the LLMs are super intelligent. They aren’t even close to actual human intelligence, and most real-world experience has shown that they are best used as a tool, like a graphing calculator.

We are also a long way off from a fully automated industry. The energy required for a fully staffed AI workforce is staggering, the current usage of AI isn’t even sustainable, let alone powering millions of physical bots plus the AI needed for piloting them.

Nice

I found a new entry for the bucket list: ass plasma!

This is a great article!

Yeah, I agree it’s not ideal. But under capitalism I think Gabe is about the best we could hope for.

Maybe he will find a worthy hier, or perhaps everything will go to shit. We will see.

This is propoganda. Valve is a privately-owned company, and therefore not a lackey of the olgiarcs, that’s why they are being attacked. Valve is good at business and listens to it’s customers, and Microsoft can go fuck itself sideways.

Valve’s policy is not anti-competitive. If you want to offer your game somewhere other than steam for whatever price you like, you are free to do so. If you use the steam platform to offer the game, then Steam requires you to not offer it for a lower price elsewhere AT THE SAME TIME.

That is not a monopoly, that is a clause of business contract. If a company doesn’t want to do business with valve, then they don’t have to. The 30% fee is large, but the value that comes with is massive.

Capitalism

This. Exactly this. Thank you.

The author is not in favor of DRM or age verification on linux. They are simply pointing out the implications of the proposed exemptions. The real problem is that these sort of invasions of privacy are being considered AT ALL. Nomatter how they are implemented, they will be horrible for everyone except big brother.

This is a meme community. You will probably have better luck at asklemmy or one of the other advice communities.

That being said, I highly doubt that consuming royal honey will affect your sex life. This reeks of snake oil.

But it’s obviously a joke. (at least to me)

That means that the text in no way represents anyone’s opinion, it’s sole purpose is entertainment. If anything, it’s a jab at the people that claim to do things because of the idiotic and meaningless “alpha” label, not an endorsement of sloth.

I believe this is what the old folks refer to as a “joke”.

It is an ancient form of communication, the goal of which is to induce laughter in the recipients. Factual accuracy is often not a concern, and in fact many jokes lack peer review of any kind.

I agree, it was almost like reading an onion or postillion article. So surreal.

Chimpanzees are considerably better than us at short-term memory.

No, it’s fedora.

Hot take: this article is capitalist propaganda. “owning a giant company is better than being a wareslave” No shit, sherlock.

I’m not deaf, but just in case you don’t get an answer that stems from personal experience:

Your hearing loss in the one ear is (I’m assuming) caused by the ear canal being blocked. Your sensory organ still hears you chewing because the sound is transferred through the bones of your skull to your ear.

A deaf person has a different problem: their sensory organ is damaged or missing, so it doesn’t matter where the sound comes from, they don’t hear it.

By all psychologists?

I agree that there is some stupid stuff being done in the name of science, 100%. But the discipline isn’t really the deciding factor imho.

If you are interested, here is sabine explaining how academic is fundamentally broken.

The cannabis plant when left to itself doesn’t create much THC (which is what gets you high), but it is very useful for making rope and clothing, as well as oil and other products. Only when you make sure that you only have female plants (and take care of them in a certain way) do they produce lots of THC.

So just because the plant is growing somewhere doesn’t mean that someone is smoking it.
