I actually some time ago listened to a podcast (can’t remember the name) where the guy had his little daughter (like preschool) rate his dad-ness on different scales by just drawing a line on the paper and asking her to put her finger on it to show her rating. Though it was apparently biased because that morning the dad had made the daughter brush her hair. In any case, he took sub-millimeter measurements, did the math, and ended up with a number just like that… Which he ofc printed on a mug 😁

Exactly! Now you’re getting it 😁

It’s not profitable for the mill, yes, but the millers (board members and C-suite) are making Hella bank

Their business is the LLMs. It’s like asking if a loaf of bread is expensive, then why don’t millers bake bread using their own flour

You know you can have opinions about things, and thinking they’re bad, without being outraged, right? Like, I think (idk about what you’d think) that dog poop smells bad. That is my opinion, and it’s consistent no matter where I am or what I’m doing. I don’t feel strongly when dog poop is mentioned. I still decline when someone offers me a bag of dog poop. If someone talks about a big poop their dog did, I don’t feel big emotions, I just know that I don’t like it. The same is with politics. Like I believe that all people should have access to free healthcare. Am I seething with rage constantly over the state of US healthcare? No. Am I upset whenever someone discusses which health insurance company they should go with? Also no, it’s them doing their thing trying to survive. But if someone’s saying “oh we should replace the national health system in countries X, Y, and Z with a private system like the US”, I’d potentially even comment on it, but still not have a burning flame of outrage inside.

Do you get my point? You can have knowledge, opinions, and reactions to things without being constantly full of a certain emotion or another.

Could start with a system that works for anyone else besides young white men 🤷🏻

So many commenters forget that BMI was created based on statistical analysis of young white men - specifically, soldiers. Just like IQ tests. So neither accounts for age, height, race, sex, disability, financial background, illness, mental health, limb differences, etc and so on. BMI is only useful for evaluating if your average young white man is fit for military service, and that’s it. But because it’s such a nice number with a simple formula, it got slapped on everything. Which is shit.

Nah, can do stuff like the UK did - taxing sugar - so that instead of getting less income from removing sales tax, it’d be more income from new tax

Wow, what a tone-deaf, obviously-did-read-the-comment response, thank you for reminding me how selfish and embarrassing people can be

I’m assuming the US, because

4.7% of lawsuits ending with a judgement against the good samaritan is not much, but more than 0

Yes, both sides are bad. But it’s like having a puppy mulching machine that only uses live puppies. The current goal is to vote for the side that throws in 1 puppy a day in order to stop the side that throws in 1 puppy a minute. Then, once the puppy-a-minute people are sufficiently far from the puppy mulching machine, the goal shifts to voting for the side the throws in zero puppies instead. Right now it’s not possible to go to zero puppies, so gotta work with what’s possible, no matter how much it sucks. At the same time keeping away the feral ones that throw in boxfuls of puppies constantly, which is getting harder by the day since they made friends with the puppy-a-minute people.

Well what do people expect, it’s a cash grab series milking a dead cow, of course the focus is on getting every last penny/watch/stream out of gullible sods rather than actual quality

Don’t even need the good looking tbh

Is the reason why I have a Gmail. It’s the same one I’ve had for a long time, last time I checked it, the unread emails count was past 9999. I wonder what Google thinks of me 🤔

A pigeon? How dare you! That’s almost as bad as calling someone an absolute walnut!

There’s a journalist that did a video walking down a hallway in one of the gov buildings in Washington. One office door after the next had a “I stand with Israel” sign

It’s like being psychology adjacent and having to double check which CBT do people mean

Are you really having a good time when the munchies hit but you’re out of snacc?

Oh, Monica is a FOSS site you can selfhost, hence my question. But an offline version is pretty neat, especially if it directly integrates with the device systems (e.g. notifications, calendar, etc).

How is it different from Monica? Just that it’s a mobile app?
