That’s a really weird way of looking at it. Without the database, there’s no central ledger to consult as to whether or not you’re legally a person. Like @atrielienz@lemmy.world said:

The database is the backbone of them being able to hurt or harm

Without that starting point, “the organizational structure, rules, and procedures” that rely on the data from the database are impotent.

What happens if someone is illegitimately removed from this database? How can you show whether it was a glitch, or deliberate? How do you know if the information they have about you is even right, or get it changed if you need to? Where’s the accountability?

See the UK Post Office accounting scandal, in which a persistent computer error went unfixed for decades and caused hundreds of post office employees to be fired and dragged through courts for corruption that never happened. A good chunk of them committed suicide. The government and the software company both knew about the bug causing the issue, too, but prosecutions continued. “If the computer says it, it must be right”, sort of danger.

…I don’t know what that makes me, for pointing out that people who complain about snowflakes are snowflakes

Observant?

Ayyy (⁠☞ﾟ⁠ヮﾟ⁠)⁠☞ Now you’re thinking like a FICSIT pioneer! If you want some more “ideas”, Let’s Game It Out on YouTube has some classic Satisfactory content - it’s a way earlier build of the game in his early videos about it so it doubles as an adventure in video game archeology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vYYhL9Vt8o

I will say, you can make any old spaghetti bullshit work. Waiting a long time for some parts isn’t that big a deal because you can spend that time building out lines to new nodes. The “real game” though, in my opinion, is building a factory you could post to /c/CablePorn. The aesthetics are so much harder to nail than just building an efficient production line. And don’t build small just because you don’t have resources right now, build big and you’ll get the resources to finish it later.

If you build anything you’re proud of, post screenshots!

So since I dont have a third iron node by the next 300m my only options are

Why are you limited to 300m?

No, personal mindset. Stop laying everything you don’t like at the feet of “men” at large. I’ve been an ally my whole life, but I identify as a cishet man, and I’m tired of the prejudice against my penis. Nothing about being a man requires a lack of emotion or empathy. Some people are just arseholes.

As well, you claim every single woman loved every single one of her babies, throughout all of human history, because you spoke to one woman who felt that way. Statistically, you are unlikely to be correct in your assertion.

I appreciate the article! It’s an interesting plan, sure seems like it could help with standing up new housing, but we’ll see. Your scepticism is not unreasonable at all, given California’s history with corruption in real estate development/urban planning.

why not tackle the crisis by removing the building code for a half dozen years?

That’s not what the plan is though, it’s just a freeze on changes; the building codes are already pretty well established and buildings in California are pretty well earthquake-proofed. By freezing the codes instead of changing them whenever, you give builders and architects a chance to systemise the planning and construction they wouldn’t have if the codes could change on short notice - say halfway into their build or right as they’re about to break ground on a new project.

“Junk” really just means “I haven’t found a use for it yet” 😅

Yes, people can be terrible and cruel. Most of us here have been mocked unfairly at some point in our lives, and there’s almost never accountability.

It is best to just ignore those people. In your head you can say to them “Okay, loser” and move on - if they are mean, you don’t want to know them anyway.

AI writes technically good English, but it’s very bad at writing with style - it’s basically only got one style and it’s very easy to pick out. If you want to use AI, you should use it to improve your English writing. You can paste your message, ask it for tips on what you should change, and rewrite it yourself; don’t copy paste what the AI writes.

At the end of the day, you’re either going to sacrifice yourself for her happiness or you won’t. And to be honest it’s much more likely you won’t and shouldn’t; if you try you’d both be miserable. Whether or not she does it is entirely outside your control - even if she actively blames you, it’s her choice to make.

The most important thing is to be kind; I think you have to tailor that to the person so I don’t know if I can help with the phrasing, but maybe along the lines of how you have to work on yourself.

Also remember to leave if it starts to go circular.

I’ve said what I felt I needed to say, and I’m not sure further discussion will be productive

sort of thing. I’m sorry you’re in this spot bud, it’s a tough one, but no matter what happens it’s not your fault.

We are not talking about fucking in front of children, we are talking about the lived experience of people who that has happened to and how it affected them. That means you are the one drawing false equivalence (you are equating fucking in front of kids with talking about the impact it had on the person). These are life experiences and can be talked about without the need for any thought-policing by you.

I also made no assertions that the OP was asking for permission to be a paedophile.

Is that so…

just asking this question seems noncey

This you?

just asking this question seems noncey

But why? Would it be noncey to talk about whether we got circumcised as children and how we feel about it now?

Most people who get circumcised are fine with it and think it’s weird or gross to not be. I’m not cut and I hate the idea of it ever being done to me though. Odd how reality defies expectation there. I wonder if that is true of other men too. Hmm, maybe there are other topics this could also be true in, do you possibly think?

This question is about the habits of people’s parents, and how it affected them growing up. This is not a question about fucking kids, and interpreting it as such is so out there it borders on the deliberate, which seems pretty fucking noncey to me. Why are you interpreting this as asking for permission to fuck kids?

But I love sushi…

I mean, it’s your instance so that’s your call, right? All it means is your community will be smaller because fewer people will make it through the filter of your values, but if your goal isn’t endlessly adding users then who cares if the community you build stays small? The beauty of the Fediverse.

Very nice, that’s a great chip! I’m excited for you, enjoy the new rig 😊

I’m very, very happy with the 9800X3D, so you can save yourself a bit of cash there to put towards the GPU. With a fast modern CPU like that, you might even consider an Intel B580 to relieve that GPU bottleneck.

I stand corrected, this speaks to my robot soul

“Polished” is a generous word for it. I think you might be mistaking generic plastic gloss for polish, though. AI writing is so formulaic, it’s like looking at a repeating texture in a video game. It writes lyrics like a five year old, too - very simple, entirely conventional, no creativity. Nothing new.

Here’s how you know it’s not ready: AI hasn’t replaced a single CEO.
