BPD isn’t as toxic as NPD or ASPD.

Maybe not as toxic, but as someone who fell for and dated a girl with BPD (who wasn’t diagnosed until years after we broke up), I can tell you from experience: it’s brutal.

To clarify for anyone reading who doesn’t know the acronym, BPD is Borderline Personality Disorder, not Bipolar Disorder.

God, I wish this shit were boring

I don’t think so. It may appear to others as a lack of empathy, but I imagine it’s usually just social miscues or whatever.

Musk’s lack of empathy comes from one of his personality disorders, not autism. He is clearly, at the very least, a narcissist. He is probably also a sociopath.

Yeah, I’ve found myself wanting to use the word in comments here as it was the best fit, but deciding against it because musk

Buddy, this is econ 100. This applies to nearly every business.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

If you look at the chart there, the equilibrium price is where the supply line and the demand line cross. Assuming supply remains the same, if demand decreases, the equilibrium price will decrease.

If supply increases, and demand decreases, price goes way down.

Wiki probably explains it better.

Just want to post this here for anyone not aware… uBlock “medium” mode. Kind of an unadvertised feature that has to be enabled in a strangely obscure way (I think they want to make sure you’re not a complete idiot).

Still, pretty easy to set up, and much more protection than the default (but also not nearly as frustrating as “hard” mode or whatever they call it). Basically, most sites you visit are going to be broken the first time you go, but you enable elements you need for the site to load, then save those settings for that domain. Takes about 30 seconds or so once you know what you’re doing and you only need to do it once per domain. Basically, I keep 1st and 3rd-party scripts off completely most of the time. It’s relatively rare that I absolutely need to enable 1st party scripts on a page for it to load.

It’s kind of like uBlock + noscript learning mode. The element zapper is clutch as well, but that’s not unique to medium mode or anything.

And…?

For a lot of things, they’ve just stopped even bothering with the pretext. They don’t even try to justify or rationalize anymore.

I don’t know how you reason with that.

Definitely haven’t been hitting the gym three times a week to make sure my punches are strong enough to kill. No siree, I’m definitely not training to specifically throw a 15lb punch at the neck of any fascists who attempt to detain me illegally.

I’m sure I agree with you on a lot of things politically, but the thought of turning this into a copypasta is cracking me up…

If it were a paragraph instead of just a couple of sentences, it could be the new Navy Seal copypasta lol

Also when that adversary is threatening your very existence (for our trans brothers/sisters/enbys)

It’s so absurd that I know this lol… Fucking video games

And how do they even pay the lawyer?

I mean maybe technically (I’m sure it varies depending on country). But I’m not aware of any cases where they’ve ever pursued anyone for that.

It’s definitely a grey area in the US, I believe (again, no precedent set), and someone with a good lawyer could actually get a good ruling here, which would set the precedent. Which is probably why they never pursue it. I think that happened with VHS when people were taping shows in the 80s/90s (could be misremembering that).

The concept of “fair use” in general (not referring to specific interpretations of the term) definitely allows you to do this. At least how I interpret it. I am not a lawyer.

So if it were me, I’d only be concerned with the ethics, and I see nothing ethically wrong with it whatsoever. But that’s just me.

Huh? Maybe it’s just me, but I’m having trouble understanding what your position is…

For one though, everybody is not aware of it. And many who are do not care.

Sadly, this is not a rare occurance, even before Oct 7. But since then, you could find a headline like this (or worse) at least every week or two on average. At some point it becomes a pattern, and that point was years (if not decades) ago.

Holy straw man!

Public housing was shit, maybe.

Or are all of the articles like this staged? And all of the data is made up?

Since its launch in 2008, the number of homeless people in Finland has decreased by roughly 30%,[1] though other reports indicate it could be up to 50%.[7] The number of long-term homeless people has fallen by more than 35%.[3] “Sleeping rough”, the practice of sleeping outside, has been largely eradicated in Helsinki, where only one 50-bed night shelter remains.[3] Analysis of Housing First in Tampere, Finland found that it saved €250,000 in one year.[8] A further study of Finland’s Housing First program found that giving a homeless person a home and support resulted in cost savings for the society of at least €15,000 per person per year, with potentially even higher cost savings in the long term.[7] These cost savings for society are in part a result of reductions in usage of emergency healthcare, police, and the justice system when homeless people are given a home.[9]

So they look like link 1, and they result in that… Seems great.

No… I specifically said “rent free” instead of “free”… You can charge them what it costs to upkeep with no profit, that’s my point.

I know you jest, but treasury bonds…

If you own the physical DVD, fair use allows you to own a backup copy, so torrenting it in that case would not be unethical nor illegal.

Just a reminder that you’re in a thread about the IDF murdering a child.

Not sure about you, but I’d be pretty terrified if that happened to my family or in my town or even in my country…
