Nothing that I can think of. Anything that I’m not buying because of how expensive it is I already was not buying because how expensive it was to begin with.
There is always a well-known solution to every human problem - neat, plausible, and wrong.

Agreed. Even without internet connection, there still remains a ton of other stuff I don’t like about modern cars. I find them quite frustrating to drive honestly.
I’m perfectly happy with my -07 Nissan pickup and willing to drive it the next 20 years too if I have to. Just gotta try and stay ahead of all the rust.


It’s not selective breeding itself that causes those health issues - it’s selective breeding while only focusing on appearance. It’s not exactly the most surprising thing in the world that breeding a dog to not have a snout leads to breathing problems.


That’s why I only eat them twice a week.
I know it’s not the healthiest of the foods but being Finnish chicken it’s at least not seasoned with literal poison and considering that I airfry them it’s at least better than deepfryed. Let me have my wings and comforting lies. Cooking and eating is such a struggle for me.


That place seems to be still under construction. I bet that truck belongs to one of the people working there.


Who says that and what does it have to do with Facebook and Instagram?


It’s still morally wrong in the absolute sense since you’re taking something for free that you’re implicitly expected to pay for. However if there is no way for you to actually pay for it even if you wanted then that makes this one of the clearer cases in which one can morally defend piracy. It’s still not right but it’s less wrong.
The only scenario that I can think of that would be even more clear is when you’ve actually bought the media already but the disc got damaged for example as was the case with my GTA San Andreas back in the day: I had bought the game but the disc exploded in the drive so I was forced to crack it so that I could play without the disc.
I don’t get it either. Seems like mostly just a novelty item. I sometimes get the feeling that smartphones have become pretty much as good as they can get in this current form and manufacturers are just trying to come up with imaginary problems to solve in order to stand out somehow.
Just buy any mid-range Android (or and older iPhone) and you’ll get a great device that does everything it needs to and you can stop thinking about whatever the next year’s release does marginally better than the device you have now and use that mental energy on something else.


Well sure, but it still beats being in a bad relationship. Ideally I’d be with someone who I like being with and who likes being with me but you can’t have it all. Relationships aren’t my #1 priority in life.


There’s nothing else in your reply for me to respond to. I made a comment about statistical probabilities and you responded with ramblings about AGI that in no way address anything I said. You’re entitled to your opinion and I’m not interested in trying to convince you otherwise.


I can go days without talking to another human but I don’t think a day go by without me making any sounds. After all, I’m constantly talking to my pet and house spiders and when outside I talk to birds, squirrels and food delivery robots.


That slightly poor wording choice was my entire point.


I’m only countering your claim where you seem to be suggesting that the term AGI was made up to market LLMs. It wasn’t - that term has existed for a long time.
Are you genuinely attributing your sense of life dissatisfaction to the fact that billionaires haven’t died or been killed yet or are you just saying the popular thing for applause?
I’m not unhappy either. I’m relatively content with my life. Things could be better but they could be much worse too.


Roaming free is dangerous to all wildlife.


Some kind of a wild cat like Ocelot would be cool assuming they could behave themselves but since they can’t, a normal house cat is just fine too.


In most cases when something is convenient you’re giving something up for that convenience.


Rechargeable Eneloops are Ni-Mh which makes the nominal voltage 1.2V where as the voltage on an Alkaline battery is 1.5V. The rechargeable ones are worse than normal Alkaline batteries. You can get rechargeable 1.5V Lithium AA batteries from Nitecore. Those are much better than Ni-Mhs.
Assuming you’re from Finland, Hieno Mokka in LIDL costs 5€ a pack and is indistinguishable from Juhla Mokka.
