I think fear is an important part of our development, and sanitizing children's upbringings is rarely the best approach. I love when my child communicates that they're afraid of something because that gives me an opportunity to guide them through how to encounter and process that fear, and how to continue functioning in life when fear is present (which is always for a lot of people).

Also, for kids who are scared of their closet or under their bed at night, if you remove those triggers I would be surprised if other triggers did not arise. It could easily turn into a never ending game of whack a mole.

LOL I totally identify with this. I don't remember upvoting, but it looks like I already did. Just un-upvoted and re-upvoted for good measure.

So reddit is bad because you can't break a subreddit's rules without getting called out? Also, sarcasm with 0 context, especially in text form, should always be assumed that it will not be interpreted as sarcasm. That title alone in the subreddit could absolutely be considered clickbait.

Pixel 6 ushered in three years? I did some searching and it looks like every Pixel all the way back to Pixel 1 received three full years of updates. Is it just the additional two years of security updates that's new?

If it's summarizing articles, wouldn't that make it reductive AI, not generative?

Kermit the frog catching major strays in this thread. Don't do him dirty like that.

That may be true for some people individually, but I believe if no one at a company is able to build any connection (even on a professional level of base rapport ), that's much more an indicator of the company's failures to build a proper company culture that supports that.

People have been making close friends over the Internet with zero in-person interactions for decades now. And that's even without video chat being the primary way of doing it. I work 100% remote at a company with ~2500 employees. I'm pretty introverted, but I've managed to make a few friends mostly over slack that I would ask if they wanted to grab a drink or something if I were traveling through their area. There's no pressure or expectation of that from the company, there's no "we're family" nonsense, they've just created a company culture where that can happen.

Technically it would be low cal compared to a normally sized calzone just because of being significantly smaller.

Pay for a seedbox and install Plex on it (something like whatbox.ca). You'll have your own streaming service that you can add anything you want to, and it only costs as much as the seedbox. It will give you insularity so you don't get ISP notices, you can access it from anywhere, it's great.

From there it's just finding where you want to get your torrents from and getting used to adding them to the torrent client on your seedbox.

Plex is truly great! I forgot to mention it streams music in addition to movies and tv. The Plex web app is not particularly fantastic for streaming music, but they have a separate app called Plexamp that is really great. So all in all you can use this setup to eliminate all your streaming subscriptions.
