Needs are always based on objectives. Need to stay alive? Food, shelter, basic hygiene. Need to stay sane? Stimulation, interaction, meaning. Need to be happy? Free time, achievement.

The important thing is they are always conditional. You don’t even need to stay alive, unless you have an objective that requires it. You don’t need to go to the movies, unless your objective is to unwind. And so on.

Most often our wants and desires are what creates need as a requirement to achieve them.

She was a classy lady, she might not have understood the gesture, but she would have weathered it with grace.

This is what made the difference for me.

They’ve been the snowflakes all along.

Not enough plastic is coming out of your nozzle.

It really could be a lot of things… a clog, temperature to low, too much friction against the filament so it is hard to pull through, nozzle is bigger than your slicer settings say.

Try one thing at a time. Good luck!

I’m so out of touch now. I used to watch a lot of Star Trek when everything was broadcast television. I just can’t bring myself to get a subscription just for Star Trek though.

Eugenics isn’t just done by government. The world has been limiting the reproduction of the disabled through social pressure for ages. Look at the stigma interracial relationships used to have. Examples are everywhere.

Why does everyone think eugenics only means the way the Nazis did it?

It’s a broad term people. The government is the most heavy handed way to implement it but social pressure is arguably more effective and harder to end.

Look. If you want to talk about ethnic cleansing, talk about ethnic cleansing. If you want to talk about mass murder, talk about mass murder. But the term “eugenics” covers a lot of possibilities whether you like that or not.

Sorry.

Well, once involves mass murder and the other doesn’t, so I think the people being impacted by that would see a difference.

But if your worldview needs overgeneralizations to survive, you do you I guess.

Which eugenicists?

There a big difference between “kill everyone of a certain race” and “you don’t get to reproduce if you have a horrifying heritable disease”.

I think you have it backwards, it’s no wonder people who are easy to manipulate get drawn into religion.

Honestly, I think the fact that you can’t count on instant gratification here is one of the things that helps keep it from becoming a shit hole like reddit.

I don’t mind the slower, more deliberate place here. You get less trolls that way.

When I lived in LA it started a week early and on the 4th itself it was a fireworks show finale amount of fireworks for 8 hours straight.

But just turn on the radio… right.

Maybe it’s time to realize different places are different and there may be values to other people’s perspectives even if they don’t reflect your particular worldview.

For stoic men (and maybe women, who knows?) Captain Phillips… but not till the end. It sneaks up on you.

“the corporation” is running it now. It’s not about people any more, it’s all procedural and goal oriented operations now.

Thank goodness we won’t have to worry about police brutality at this one!

I read this title as: If chat gpt is trying to kill you, you probably won’t be able to tell it to stop.

“Look buddy, we didn’t drown any slaves, we just threw them overboard all chained together in the open sea, after that what happens to them isn’t our problem”

Same energy.

While doing your research, check out Garuda, it is gaming focused and I have found it extremely user friendly.

I started with Bazzite and moved from there to Garuda. Both have an Nvidia version that just takes care of that for you. I’ve never had to worry about drivers.
