It’s a prescription drug where I live, but if I ever have anyone who would need to hear it, I’ll mention it in case their doctor didn’t prescribe it!

Awesome 🙌

Sounds unhealthy, you okay?

ez gg when you don’t need to work all the time to save any money and you don’t have kids that take up all the rest your time, wp wp

That makes sense!

Okay cool, thanks. So then that begs the question, in what way was this replacement ineffective?

What was this “þ to ‘th’ replacement” movement supposed to accomplish? Prevent LLM-feeding scraping from producing anything useful?

And what does the change log entry mean practically? People who type þ will have their input changed to “th” before posting?

It does sound counterintuitive, doesn’t it. It’s actually the opposite of what you’d expect, at least in my case.

When I wrote my own binary clock I first tried using one 5-bit word to visually represent 0–23, and another 6-bit word to represent 0–59. But I found it hard to quickly read at a glance. Especially the minutes.

I found the 4-bit representation of 1–12 simpler to read at a glance, and then use the 5th bit to represent am/pm. In fact, I could skip the am/pm bit completely, because who tf doesn’t know whether it’s before or after noon when looking at a 12h clock, unless you’re in complete isolation from the outside.

Then, obviously 6 bits for the minutes is even harder to glance, and more noise, so I made that into a 2-bit thing where the most significant bit is whether or not we are past the half hour, and the least significant bit represents whether or not we are past the 15 or 45-minute mark, which tells me which quarter of the hour we are in. It served me enough granularity to be on time for meetings etc. 😄

*worst

You only need four bits to represent 12 (actually 16), add 1 extra bit to double that for the am/pm bit. Any bit can represent anything you like if you encode it as such. 👍

I don’t know why he has such trouble. You really should only need 1 bit to determine whether or not it’s afternoon. Just look at the “afternoon” bit light. 🤷‍♂️

I made my own 😊

I’m not. Have a nice day.

Alright. We disagree on b) and c).

The chance that my kids will suffer extraordinarily is small. And yes, it is a gamble, fair enough. People still do things even though there’s risk, because of the possibilities and weighted risk.

We all suffer in one way or another. Me too. But that is life. Life is suffering. Without suffering, there wouldn’t be joy. And the balance here is important.

You are clearly suffering a lot.

I am suffering very little.

We do not have the same world view because of this. 🤷‍♂️ I don’t think this conversation will do either of us any good.

Alright.

I don’t want to fucking be alive anymore

I feel like this is driving a lot of your feelings in this matter, and I do want to be alive, so I cannot relate to your position, I think.

Some of us feel that being alive through hardship is worth it as long as we have each other to love and cherish. But of course, if those types of relationships are missing, or the hardship is too intense, it can be overpowering.

I hope you some day feel like you want to be alive. ❤️

— I’m sorry, I can’t let you do that.

I don’t know what you want to call this instinct, mating or reproduction, whatever. And just because it’s an instinct doesn’t mean everyone needs to have it, no.

It’s a strong urge for me to have children and love them. I would have more if I thought we had room and could afford it, but see? I’m resisting that because of circumstances. I don’t know what you want me to say other than that.

Like I said, I don’t think I can explain this to you. We are at an impasse.

Obviously I’m going to give my all to make my kids suffer as little as possible, just like almost every other animal. 🤷‍♂️ That’s what we parents all do, those of us with our heads on straight.

Like I said, we are not agreeing here and this is exhausting like I knew it would be. Let’s just agree to disagree. It’s probably best here. You’re not reaching out to me with this, I’ve heard it before and I agree to some extent, but I can’t help what I feel. And I can’t explain this to you.

I could’ve decided I wouldn’t have kids, but it would go against my feelings, and it would probably make me incompatible with the love of my life.

We have good circumstances. We live in a country that still has somewhat real democracy in our constitution. If anything, we’ll deal with food shortages and maybe war. We’re already dealing with dairy and meat shortages and we are eating alternatives yet living good. But perhaps our far descendants won’t have to deal with hardship. 🙂

I know you don’t believe in hope, but this is my attempt to spread some. Maybe it doesn’t work on someone who lives where you do or who’ve been shaped by life as you have, I don’t know your situation. If so, I’m sorry. We’re just different, and that’s okay.

Sending love.

Very discoverable name for it’s purpose 😅 Or am I missing something?
