One thing to consider, if this turned out to be accepted, it would make it much harder to prosecute actual csam, they could claim "ai generated" for actual images

I'm nihilistic so keep that bias in mind with the rest of this:

Life is a beautiful nightmare. Death is inevitable and worrying about it does nothing positive for you. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with accepting death before it comes 👍

Cherry picking verses is not the same as refuting an argument. The books say many things that are not practiced. In reality children are in fact taught to rely on supernatural powers.

To prove my point:

Say “Nothing will befall us except what Allah has decreed for us; He is our Protector.” Let the believers, then, put all their trust in Allah. -Quran, 9:51

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” -Proverbs 3:5-6

Eh the general consensus is that this launch is a small early adopter phase and they have cheaper versions in the pipeline. They're only producing <100k units, definitely not going for mass adoption yet

A slang term that means "stop striving", I'd say it's loosely akin to the phrase "quiet quitting" but a bit more general.

Not everyone does, I've had a lot of conversations with a lot of people on this topic.

People's thought processes range from monologue to dialog to narration to silence to images to raw concepts without form.

I personally do not have a constantly running monologue, but rather have relatively short bursts of thought interspersed with long periods of silence.

Same, what a challenging but worthwhile journey.

Growing up in the clutches of devout religious thinking had such a profoundly negative impact on my mental health and view of the world in general that relinquishing it was one of the most refreshing and revitalizing experiences of my life.

Religion teaches you that this life is only important as a stepping stone to eternity, that leads to some incredibly short sighted and unhealthy living. Accepting that this life is actually important for its own sake instead of as some sort of twisted game from some random deity helped me begin to make choices that objectively did more for humanity and myself.

Religion teaches you that evidence and logic are not routes to "truth" but feelings, faith, and obedience are. Untangling that mess was tough, as a result for decades now every single thought and belief has been in question. The pain of being so wrong but so convinced I was right has led to a bit of an issue allowing myself to believe anything

Religion is one of the largest stains on our species. I don't blame religious people, they're victims, but by george do I hate that we have perpetuated such tragic belief systems.

Jquery is a swear word in professional front end contexts, the replacement is transpilation and dropping ie support.

Personally I used jquery up until react and babel got hot, now I never touch the dom directly with jquery and no longer have a need for the polyfill features as I rely on babel preset-env to support the browsers we have selected (especially for things like promises/async await/es6+ features)
