The tool shouldn't exist, period.

That people defend this is shocking. Absolutely zero foresight.


A lawsuit does not solve a systemic problem. This is not a "a few people abuse a tool" situation.

People suck. The tool shouldn't exist.

I genuinely do not understand the boot-licking. Bizarre. It show's a complete and utter lack of foresight.


Of course lawsuits solve a problem. Reduce the incentive to do it. Remove the bad actors.

The tool absolutely should exist. It has literally helped solve 10k kidnappings. Here are a few examples:

"Kidnappings", such as someone being a few hours late on exchanging custody of the kids with zero danger to them.


The cops used this 100 times over this one person. Will they be punished no?

Has someone checked if they didnt abuse their power over 100 other people? Very likely no.


> Of course lawsuits solve a problem. Reduce the incentive to do it. Remove the bad actors.

No they don’t. This is an ignorant statement to make knowing the history of lawsuits against police and how little to no effect that’s had on police abuse of power.

It’s just like gambling: who gives a shit if you’re playing with someone else’s money.


Pretty funny that picky eaters are hobbling their own minds and bodies and giving themselves severe autism.

Just stop eating chicken nuggets and french fries, kids. Have some vegetables.


These GLP-1 drugs seem to do more than what the article describes. The spontaneous cessation or serious reduction of addictions (chemical, behavioral) and otherwise compulsive behaviors when taking GLP-1s is widely discussed and described.

It seems like it does something else. https://sph.brown.edu/news/2025-07-24/brain-science-glp-1s-a... https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11202225/


Except if your body is unnaturally screaming at you to eat more. The obesity epidemic is not caused by ignorance or lack of willpower. It's natural differences in how people's bodies work compounded by modernity's changes to physical activity levels and diet.


People do learn to fast and deal with those signals. Once you are aware of what they are it probably gets easier. I've fasted before, by choice and via circumstance in less fortunate times in my life. Is it uncomfortable? Sure. But it is no punch in the face. It is something you can learn to push aside and handle the task. One can learn to go to sleep hungry, sadly.

And you mention exercise, that is an excellent point. Hunter gatherers might forage for 8 miles a day, while many peoples daily walking effort can be measured in a few dozen feet. Our bodies are built to be used. It is no surprise that when they are not, systems designed for a certain baseline load are no longer functioning as intended.


Gosh that's so impressive, if only they had a peptide that made everyone exactly like you!

(they do they're fucking called glp-1s)


I guess you can spin this is a failure of AI, but I don't think so. Why don't you know what your credentials have permissions to do? Why are you storing credentials in files? Why don't you have network level isolation between environments? Why are you having agents do deployments in staging down to individual commands running in terminals and API calls (should be in pipelines, standardized.) Why are you using tools (Claude Opus, Railway) without understanding how they work? So many more.

This is like running around with scissors and getting mad when you inevitably trip on a rock in your path fall and stab yourself.

That "article" was written by AI as a CYA moment from the dev/owner. It means nothing.


The section on proverbs is missing the point, despite overthinking it.

You're not meant to take a proverb and apply it literally in all cases. It's a piece of wisdom you pull out when you deem it appropriate. The analysis and individual judgement of the human being is implied.

If you included more it wouldn't be a proverb.


Totally disagree. Killing my third party app reduced my reddit usage by like 90%. Now I really only use it on my desktop PC.

On mobile, when I tap reddit search results I am never logged in which means I have to go to old.reddit.com to see the full thread and comments. If they added a log in wall I'd just stop tapping reddit results on mobile.


So, what exactly do you propose as an alternative?


It's pretty clear immersion is the best path.

Using AIs conversational skills seems like the best way to employ AI in language learning.


Immersion will absolutely get you speaking and listening fluency (with enough time). Reading and writing? That's another matter. If you're coming from a Latin alphabet language and trying to learn to read and write Chinese or Japanese then you've got a lot of study and practice ahead of you. Acquiring the knowledge of several thousand Chinese characters (needed for both languages) can only be done through deliberate study.
