You’ve moved my opinion on this definitely, I have never been inside that world, but I engage with it all the time because of my work.

Rather than being something strange and wrong, it’s just a thing that works, and that’s why you guys adopt it. Like rubber duck programming.

Oh no, I’m the first person who told you this behavior is weird huh. I’m sorry.

Sure, I might even give those people some grace over the people who use it cause they want to be Jared Leto, or one of Jared Leto’s sex cult friends in the book.

It’s actually still a red flag, unfortunately. The only people who use Grok have a terrible understanding of other people, like the dude in this article. That’s part of the problem. Either you’re jumping off the same bridge as your weirdo colleagues, you identify with the nudist-cult Martian, or you have such trouble being understood, or understanding neurotypical people, you think you need a new word.

It’s like people who use Na’vi, you can make up anything and say it’s anything and people who have trouble with reality will identify themselves by using that nonsense in normal conversation. You’re never gonna make fetch happen, it’s just tedious.

There is no problem with having read the book, there’s no problem with liking it. I did both, the first time i read it I thought it was cool. I’m more taking about people who made the nude sex cult book part of their personality enough to use the word grok unironically.

People using the word “grok” has always been a red flag. The people who read stranger in a strange land and identified with it so much they started using the word are fucking weirdos. The book is about a child adopted by Martians who inherited their reality-bending mind powers, comes back to earth as an adult and creates a nudist sex cult. Basically Jared Leto. I’m not joking, that’s the book.

It was always elder developers who didn’t wear shoes and had trouble with personal space.

Anxiety, gerd or heartburn in general (it’s literally called heartburn, this is more common than you’d think), and like a million other things.

I would get it with anxiety all the time before I was medicated, my doctor told me after my 3rd EKG that the pain from a heart attack really happens when you work it HARD. That might not be much for some people, but the Doc asked me if this happens often after physical activity at all.

My answer was no, and I hike, walk, go up stairs, do all that stuff and have no issue or pain with my heart. YMMV, and as I age I still take heart stuff seriously, but that reduced my anxiety around it significantly.

It’s like looking in a mirror.

Ahh a human has fixed some AI slop. How expected. Also thank you

Ewww AI slop that had to be fixed by a human in the comments. Thanks for literally fucking nothing.

You make a really excellent argument! People have been in essence vaping weed via hookah and shisha for a long time. Mixing weed into your shisha doesn’t result in a full combustion. The steam chalice tweaked the design to remove the shisha, but it was still in essence the design borrowed from something that’s been used since antiquity. But it was still like the invention that basically every stoner in the world, let alone anyone who visited Jamaica, had in their head

The modern electronic vape movement, which arguably started in coffee shops in Amsterdam in the 90’s, started introducing electronic temperature control. Which imo is what I mean when say modern vaping.

But yeah, don’t disagree with you at all. I would maybe say forced air was never developed beyond volcano cause they patented it and very aggressively protect it.

That’s fair, steam chalice became popular back in the 70’s. I’m splitting hairs by defining modern as an electronic device whose design was copied in essence by all future makers. The steam chalice was in every stoners head back then and informed a lot of innovation.

That’s actually a vaporizer, this dude is one of the fathers of modern vaping, like Bob Snodgrass is the father of modern borosilicate glass bongs.

His name is Evert, he invented a glass heater for vaping weed called the Verdamper.

No I’m mad, I’m just mad all the time at everything!

We don’t even know we are propogandized, it’s on par if not better than any other totalitarian system in history

Cause your insults are meaningless to those of us who had no choice on where we were born and hate ourselves and our countries as much as you hate us.

There’s not a single thing you can say to me that i haven’t said to myself like 1 inch from a mirror. Welcome to capitalism.

I agree with you, but also the communist bad vs capitalist bad meme war and the corresponding comments are the only reason I’m still on the fediverse.

With no conservative presence to speak of, you get to see why no unity is possible between groups of any significant size. Leftists will continue to shatter into smaller groups and those groups will vie for dominance inside of the movement. Each group will develop purity tests to identify members.

Even amongst groups of capitalists, even amongst groups of communists, even amongst groups of lgbtq+ people and the sub groups to which they apply. Especially when those groups interact.

The human animal is amazing! The only thing most people agree on is violence is required to move society in any significant direction. That tells you everything you need to know about humans.

Godamn, look at that transparency, now this is a fucking png! Alpha AF.

Oh damn, Ludwig is getting old

Ayn, Anbernic, retroid, those are three reputable companies. Ayn is top of the line with Thor, retroid is midrange, and Anbernic has a bit of everything, but they have the most affordable units i would trust.
