If their spam filter is “learning,” and if new signup verification emails are a consistent decades-old practice, how much longer should we wait before it’s okay to question whether Google’s filter could do better at learning?

Amazon promotes the shittiest, least honest reviews to the top of most products, though I guess if you know how to hunt for the rough 2-4* ratings you can technically find real reviews too.

“Objective worth” is a bit of an oxymoron, because worth is up to your value judgment.

If you’re questioning the “evolutionary imperative” that organisms want to pass on genes - one fairly human trait is that a lot of us can consciously diverge from that instinct, either fulfilling that need by passing on our legacies socially rather than genetically, or just not looking to pass anything on at all.

Something we have in common with other mammals is we prioritize whatever experience is in front of us. Anyone who’s directly affected by catastrophes and strife will have different beliefs than people who aren’t.

So if objective worth has no neat answer, what’s left?

I’d say it’s interesting to have so many different subjective experiences in one world, with a language-based society able to communicate and share many more varied experiences than most animals. Interesting isn’t inherently good or bad, but if nothing was good nor bad then nothing would be interesting.

So yea. Human life is entertaining. We’ve got that going for us!

P.S. If you’ve ever lived in a city whose infrastructure is strained by overpopulation, you don’t necessarily view declining/shifting populations as a bad thing.

who’s “we,” bub

What’s crazier than your weirdly combative, out of touch comment is the fact 6 other people decided to upvote it.

When large corps make news laying off 30% of staff, those people are getting severance packages.

Did you get lost and end up in the 1850s?

I decided to Google that name to understand. First blog I clicked on has a paragraph that starts:

I think it’s especially absurd to place your trust in Mozilla FurryFox and their team of stereotypical SJWs and soydevs …

In 2020 this person was substituting coherent points with trite schoolyard namecalling from over a decade before. So that dude’s not only an incoherent idiot but also dangerous. Man.

For real, what idea was that actually meant to convey? OP seems confused about having been indoctrinated with cult language

(OP I’ve been there, good on you for reflecting on it, but there’s more unpacking to do)

Wait’ll you hear which one came first

You confused me for a sec, I’ve enjoyed Anodyne Coffee Roasting lots and thought their space is plenty comfortable lol

I’m sure you haven’t

You can’t ask, because the OP is just part 1 of an ad

I’d say to learn to fucking read, but that’s not even the main problem with you. It’s not even the condescending smugness while being clearly wrong, though that does make you insufferable.

The real problem is how the only conversation you want to have is to undermine a valid news article for invalid reasons and to undermine the people responding with relevant lived experience, then intentionally miss the point and double down to attempt to convince yourself you didn’t say something stupid in the first place. Fuck off.

From your linked article that you don’t seem to have read beyond whatever quote you think vindicates the incorrect thing you typed:

However, Brody explains it’s essential to understand that the safety and tolerability of legalized prescription ADHD medications are miles apart compared with illegal meth.

“To emphasize this, I will compare it to the degree to which the distance to the moon dwarfs the distance to the local supermarket,” he states.

“Since Adderall is chemically meth” is not medical information, nor is it accurate, but is what you posted.

Literally the next sentence after your quoted line:

While these small differences are important in how they affect us, without a degree in chemistry, they can be difficult to discern.

Then, digging just ONE CENTIMETER FURTHER into either article, the OP is clearly about illegal meth, and the article you linked describes illegal meth as wildly, exponentially different from Desoxyn or Adderall.

Get your harmful bullshit out of here. “How is this news?” Idk try reading the article man.

Not only is this wrong, the prevalence of this weird comparison fuels more stigma and dismissal of people who already have to struggle to get Adderall without judgment from their own doctors and pharmacists, when it’s literally one of the only high percentage treatments for ADHD.

Peppy!

No it is, it’s very exciting, for their investors/owners i.e. the only people who matter obv

That’s wonderful for you, but it does happen.
