A pessimistic take on this is that all relationships are transactional - basically the guilded age era of social darwinism but extended to all social interactions, not just economic.

An optimistic take is that humanity desires social interaction, and positive feedback is a motivation for engaging in polite and supportive social activity. You and others you interact with benefit from the positive feedback loop, so the chain reaction of kindness is incentivised for all those who desire it.

An analytical take is its impossible to find one theorem for all of humanity. Humanity is one massive unknown variable composed of billions of individual unknown variables, so it is foolish to try and derive one formula explaining the emotional reaction of love. How that may be triggered is just so unquantifiable at scale. The answer would be to simply embrace what works for you.

Not sure if any of these would be right.

Man, I’m saddened that this is not visible to more people. The people at NASA have achieved amazing things for all of us.

Huh. What language are you having trouble with, if you dont mind me asking?

User not in super-sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

Stuff like this makes me wonder if the ELIZA effect is a good or bad thing for humanity as a whole.

Like we can be delusional enough to believe that a chatbot with no greater depth is sentient, but is that better than the alternative? To believe that the only options we can rely on for self worth and emotional connections are other humans?

Hard to wrap your head around.

Charge your phone.

Also, what story is this?

I will say, Russia and Brazil seem to be the kings of having these archives - as a dual Spanish and English native speaker, I kind of wish something similar was happening for us lol

That’s a skill issue if you are only using clearweb searches - most of the good stuff is found in forums, archives that aren’t indexed by common search engines (Anna’s archive for books for instance), and user groups.

If you’re looking for something niche, you’re probably best checking using a search engine that isn’t google, and getting familiar with VPNs, torrenting, TOR and checking the files you download.

I dont know why, but I have the XQC “WOW” sound clip stuck in my head from this.

I reflect on the 8-bit guy’s statement when it comes to digital products:

“When [copyright holder] is unwilling to make product available for sale, I don’t shed too many tears when people pirate the material.”

The best subscription service is a no-logs VPN.

People die if they are killed…

He looks very polite and sweet.

Hell yeah, or a 360 on a half pipe

Holy shit, they got the rights to use Mr. House?
