I am in favor of kicking children, teenagers, and people with vulnerable minds and mental illnesses off the Internet.

Then you won't have to make the decisions that most people suffer from.


Please don't kick people with mental illnesses off the internet. I barely have anyone to talk to as it is

Good one !

I don't think that post was made in jest.

The number of people with mental illness is estimated at over 20% of adults in the U.S.

I strongly doubt that was a joke.


And who gets to decide the membership of those groups? You?

And what is the positive effect here? This gives rise to escalation, harms the environment, and doesn't really help end the war.

At the risk of sounding pedantic, you're (I think, implicitly) claiming that reducing Russian oil revenues doesn't impact their war capabilities. Why would that be the case?

Striking at the economy of the aggressor definitely helps end the war

How can Russia escalate, short of nukes or expanding the war either of Which would be suicide


That's exactly what you hear from longevity experts.

But they really won't tell you anything useful.


> Do you think it's socially acceptable to ignore everything that doesn't affect you personally?

Yes, yes, and yes again.

> Many activists would certainly have you think otherwise. As far as I can tell, fighting that habit is a huge goal of activism.

That's their problem. As soon as you start contributing to them, you will not pursue your own goals, living your own life, but those imposed by activists or their supervisors.

It's convenient for them, you give them a political resource. But why do you need it?


They're definitely alarmists. In my environment, people are either neutral or positive about the workings of neural networks.

The reason is that they don't read articles critical of AI, and they don't even know about the existence of forums like reddit, for example.


I always disable ipv6 on all devices first because there is no point in using it.


it's faster on most networks


Come back to this comment in a few years and think about whether something significant has changed for those people who did not sacrifice their lives for a meaningless battle.

People are more important than the state. If they are not ready to defend him, why should they be forced? You can offer money or other valuables in return, such as fame, a pension, or a position, but if a person doesn't want to, why should they do it?

My family is from Eastern Europe: if people had not fought "meaningless" battles then the land would have been ruled by genocidal maniacs. As it stand my grandmother almost ended up in an oven.

My very existence is the result of the battles having meaning, that people fighting matters.


There is a significant difference.

Nothing will change for an ordinary person now.

At that time, the Genplan OST implied the almost complete extermination and the enslavement of a small number of the remaining people.

And also going back to the second part of the top commentary. At that time, people had a great motivation to defend their homeland and their loved ones. The survival of the country and the survival of the people in it were inextricably linked.

The current conflict has no such connection. The existence or cessation of the existence of the state is not related to the existence of people in it. Many of whom found life in a completely different country.

There were already volunteers, mercenaries, those who fell for a good salary. Why force those who actively avoid it?


The MBA was designed for those who did not want to study or could not master economics.(/jk or isn't)


So what if it is? A Master's in Economics gets you diddly squat in the job market whereas an MBA opens doors everywhere. You could get a PhD in Economics and still only work at a university, your country's central bank or at a stretch, the IMF or the World Bank, which are hardly held up as the pinnacle of professional development. And even then they'd only take you if you studied monetary economics.


They're not criticizing someone for seeing the appeal of an MBA, they're criticizing that an MBA has those factors in the first place. It shouldn't be the degree you pick to open doors.


You read the title and go to discuss about it in the comments.

No one has time to follow the links and watch something there.


I totally agree with you, just yesterday I edited a document in Microsoft word and opened the second document for comparison. Suddenly, the first document froze and when I closed the program, I did not see the changes that I had made before. After complaining about my life, I started anew, and only the next time I downloaded Word offered me a recovery option.
