I didn’t read your whole comment, but from what i did read I can say this is basically the correct answer. The only thing I’d add is to also include nice sentiments and productivity explanations.
Like:
“Hey [person’s name], do you have a couple minutes? I wanna have a quick chat. I wanna let you know that I’m a significant introvert, which means i need alone time and and social boundaries. I think you’re a very nice person and i appreciate all the efforts you’ve made trying to connect with me, but that actually makes things more difficult for me. It emotionally stresses me out, and that in turn also reduces my productivity at work. I think you’re great, but it would be really helpful to me if there were no extra social interactions with me beyond what’s needed for our work to get done smoothly. I know you have good intentions when asking about my personal life and striking up conversations, and i honestly appreciate that intent, but it would be great if I could have social interactions kept to the minimum. I really appreciate your consideration on this stuff, thanks.”
This. Racism, bigotry, homophobia, xenophobia, etc will never go away, but hopefully it will go back to being something that is shunned instead of promoted
I don’t listen to my favorite artist much at all. I’ve listened to them a lot in my life, and i love their songs every time one comes up randomly, but I’ve heard all their songs so many times in my life that i almost never purposely play them
“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they’ve been fooled”
After someone has been convinced of something, it’s very hard to convince them that they were wrong because now their ego is on the line. And the longer amount of time they’ve believed what Trump says then the harder it will be to convince them that he’s a lying con man, because they’d have to admit to themselves and their community that they were massively conned. And they would to some degree have to even question whether their entire worldview is wrong.
Questioning your own ideas and trying to determine if you’ve been wrong about something takes a lot of openness maturity and emotional intelligence, which are things conservatives statistically are not good at
AI doesn’t require a company. There are already AI created by independent groups
Aside from “ai” it was just as possible 5 years ago. There have been algorithmic random music generators around for at least a decade, and click bots have been around since at least the 90s
I hope this gets the streisand effect, but it’s probably too geeky of a topic for that
This isn’t a revocation of a perpetual license. This is about broadcom not offering their support services any more. ATT still has the perpetual license to use the software they bought
True, but the important thing is that the CEOs made an unimaginable amount of money /s
Because there are enough people who are selfish, short sighted, or disinterested, and an enormous number of things in society require coordination, long term thinking, and decisions made every single hour of every single day.
That’s totally unworkable. Almost everything in society would completely stop functioning
I feel like this is the first technology news in a looooonnng time that’s actually cool instead of horrible
I looked it up and you’re 100% right. Incendiary weapons are allowed as long as it doesn’t hit civilians or start a forest fire

I’m pinning my hopes on crude oil prices being much lower after the 10-20 years it would take to sort out the territorial disputes and complete construction of rigs that could pump oil in large volume. Oil will still be very valuable in 10-20 years, but i would guess it’ll be much less valuable then, and hopefully the price will be low enough to make it not worth the massive outlay cost
Exactly, the nutrition label isn’t a list of all substances found by chemical analysis, it’s literally just the most important “nutrition” information
Mastodon isn’t a straight replacement for twitter, bluesky is.
