I can’t tell if you’re joking but it’s an abbreviation of patriate not patriot > same root but patriot implies liking or serving the country and patriate - from patria - just means “from that country”

I mean I don’t know your life, but “no targets” doesn’t read “good work environment” to me, it reads “no work/life balance”

accommodating in all other areas

have to be completely silent at work

can’t wear headphones

they don’t get mad when I’m sick

no communication all day long

don’t have targets

are you sure?

Went into rehab last year, my guess is a relapse. Bad for everyone involved.

why do we hate the us government

uhhhh where do you wanna start. I mean pick a year between 1776 and now. Pick a month, probably.

they said that about suffrage and women’s suffrage too.

I feel like I’m starting to see way more sympathetic comments than I did a year ago.

Consider this: I pick up a tennis racket and a tennis ball, so does my wife, we go to a tennis court, I hit the ball to her gently, she hits it back: Are we playing tennis or not?

If we are not, what are we doing?

And yet it’s nowhere near the level of Serena Williams, or even the local semi Pro tournament, or probably even the local tennis club.

why does it have it be good, or more accurately for this conversation- why do you have to like it for it even to exist and have a name?

I dont particularly care for The Wiggles, or for Machine Gun Kelly, but both of them produce music. Just because I don’t like it, or think it’s not good doesn’t mean it’s not music. Even a child slowly, shakily playing a basic C major scale and getting it wrong is still “music.” Its not Mozart but it still exists.

There is no “point” or “value” you can attach to tennis, music or sculpture - or other forms and media of art, entertainment, sport, science etc that means it suddenly becomes that. Art you don’t like is still art.

ah yes, being able to survive being hit with a hammer, what everyone is looking for from art.

I dont have ADHD but I did (do?) have depression.

Although not the specifics, I’ve felt the same way so many times.

I’ve also felt that no one else has ever felt this way

I’ve also felt that I would never get better, nor did I want to get better

It can be better. You can be better.

The important thing is to stay safe.

people are banned from doing things because they did things. e.g. if you DUI you get banned from future driving not just punished for the past. Hackers get banned from the internet etc

If yelling “fire” in a movie theatre is so dangerous why not allow people to do it and don’t ban it and instead just arrest them after the stampede?

Should we ban [cars]

I mean, disregarding the feasibility, political polularity and media optics of it, for the continuation of earths ecosystem… probably yeah

1987 smoking banned in London public transport following the deaths of 31 people in a fire

2005 banned in nationwide public transport

2008 banned in enclosed public spaces

2018 banned in prisons

I’m curious do you think they’re all stupid or just this one? Isn’t this one just an extension of “please don’t smoke directly in front of the hospital doors” for other public places?

What about the proposed plans to raise the smoking age year on year every year?

This is twitter advice, but I assume it works.

I had about 10k followers and about 100 likes per tweet in my heyday - but had pretty much left about a year before elon took over, and fully left when he did.

It was a lot of work with little reward, but it was fun.

• Post actually engaging content for your niche on a regular schedule, preferably more often than twice a day
• you can maybe stretch to two niches on an account but likely you just want one
• engage primarily with people in that niche
• get to know them, build an online friendship
• get into group dms or chats with multiple people in the same niche
• nepotistically retweet each others stuff, publically respond favorably to it
• unless you have a really interesting life, keep your real life out of it and focus on your niche
• expect this process to be a committed 12 month process - so that’s at least 1000 posts, all should be high quality enough to warrant engagement.

she crashed the economy by saying she was going to reduce taxes on the rich, so much so the bank of England had to step-in to shore up bonds.

I’d call earning 30 mil over 60 years “very wealthy,” which would net you 3333 lifetimes at that rate out of 100 billion.

Starting at 18 years old At that rate you could pay off a 3 bedroom house in a major city before you were 21. Even if you had to work 8-6, 6 days a week for that money you could probably retire by 40 years old.

you can just make up two stupid names in your head and get all the benefit of youtube drama - here:

did you hear than Zzzamboney copied a video from Mr457? Turns out that the latest in ZB’s “I’m a chicken” series is actually 457’s “Birdalike” vid but with the turkeys swapped for chickens.

I would also add that you need to explain out-of-home steps, too.

I’m not an idiot but I didn’t go to school for compsci or similar and I don’t do it as a job. So frequently the instructions will go

• Get your IP address by entering this command
• Type your IP address in this line
• Now forward any chosen port to your proxy of choice and don’t forget to check your firewall settings!

My sibling in Eris, most people dont know any of those words.

same as it ever was.

Pick an industry that is also the case. In marketing There are people earning 7 figures for configuring a Google ads deck that a talented undergrad could do in half the time

In acting you can just throw a dart at the SAG directory.

Painting, music, business administration, politics. You name it.

different guy here. It seemed to be fairly useful for software engineers to solve quick issues where the answer isn’t immediately obvious - but it’s terrible at most other jobs.

And part of why it’s bad is because you have to type into a text box what you want and read it back (unless you build you own custom API integration- which goes without saying is also a terrible way to access a product for 99% of people)

Another part of why it’s bad is because you’re sharing proprietary information with a stranger that is definitely cataloging and profiling it

Very few people interact with language in a way that is bidirectionally friendly with AI, and AI just isnt very good at writing. It’s very good at creating strings of words that make sense and fit a theme, but most of what makes “very good” writing isn’t just basic competency of the language.
