Isn't this a cult classic? This was on background rotation in my childhood... Fuck I'm old lol I agree though, sick movie

AI slop now. Thank riddence I binned google as a search engine over a year ago. https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/19/google-search-as-you-know-it-is-over/

If we don't try to understand another's worldview, how can we effectively argue against it? If you base what you 'think' you know on assumptions and inferences without attempting to understand the source, you will simply misrepresent the other position and form an easy takedown to gratify the ego. Over persuing true understanding and good faith discussion.

I recall OneDrive setting being deep in the OS, not in Microsoft 365.

Heaps of universities force you to use OneDrive so they have active histories of timestamps of each edit and save. It's their way of 'proving' AI didn't write the whole thing. Doesn't stop AI use though, just that you didn't past whole slabs of text

Not angry no, I just don't understand the closed mindedness. But it's your will, so be it.

Thanks. I hate it.

The above means you will found beliefs about a person based on assumptions and inferences. Not what a user actually reports, thinks and feels. While you can guess based on the above to a degree - it will always be that - a guess. It means you don't care about another's truth or really understanding. There's no way to effectively argue a case without this knowledge. You actually don't understand anything as a result.

Not to be done without a medical professional consultation. Even supervision in many cases. Fasting definitely doesn't fix even half of the serious issues our modern medicine system can. One of my aunt's was diagnosed with MND. She delayed all diagnostics and treatments. Tried fasting extensively. She is still delusional she can cure MND with fasting. Not to say it doesn't have benefits. But 50 days dry fast, just seems to be the typical human mindset of 'more is better'. Rarely the case with health. It's about homeostasis.

I cannot talk - I've done plenty of nudist festivals >.<

In my experience people do not cut and run when you stop providing value. It is a limited frame that inoculates out Love.

Cheers to THAT!

In my experience - people who commit these acts do not get away with it. This depends on your definition of 'get away with it'. These individuals have a terrible inner world/existence. Their own minds are their enemy. Our actions not aligning with who we are - a mother - fracture your internal integrity. This causes internal dissonance, self hatred, distress and negative self image (and a myriad other issues). I would hazard a guess and say your mothers mind is a cage of self flagellation and internal self denigration. She will not be aware of this, but it will manifest in profound distress. I am so sorry you are going through this. I too, was hit, abused and tortured by my mother and stepdad. But the path you are taking - to be the bigger person and more mature - you maintain your inner integrity. This is priceless. Your peace of mind and crystal diamond clean integrity will be the key to healing and bouncing back All things change, all things must end. You won't be in this situation forever.

I lean into this. Much more pragmatic take. Stripped down of inflated hype and dreams.

I use duckduckgo, startpage and kagi (paid though). I used to use Brave but it's been turd lately. Not sure what changed there.

Do I? Or do I have my own truth? If you haven't noticed, across our dialogue, and all dialogue with others on this forum, you rarely ask questions about others worldview to try to understand in earnest. Let alone mine. You simply never drop frame and insist on your own. Again and again. And again. And again and again. And that's fine, you can do that if you will. Because you won't ever abandon your worldview in earnest open enquiry, to really try to understand someone else's, you misunderstand others. And this is why you don't understand Ralston. You demonstrate it with almost every statement you make. You also ask others to teach you about Ralston through their own lens of interpretation. Further removing you from understanding him. My suggestion is, if you really want to participate in a real teardown of Ralston - you're going to have to batten down the hatches and read his books.

Respect. I must be shit 🥹

No worries ! Thank you for the support

It is part of the story he tells himself

Okay Jan, go tell someone on the street they are dumb and see what sort of reaction you get. Nice mental gymnastics to justify doing whatever the hell you please. Not discussing this any further. You know the rules - do it again and test them at your peril.

I agree with this - it's a loaded term. When it's thrown around in debates like this, additional work has to go into stripping it of meaning that users bring, AND THEN reconstruct what others mean by the term. You double your work having to educate and redefine it. I don't ever refer to societies structures in a gendered way.

I agree. It reads like dead perfection of human prose. Like a simulacrum of a human mind's thoughts. It sticks from a mile away. I question a lot of its uses in general - is it enhancing our active participation in life - or is it removing us to be more of a 'witness' or 'observer'? We are devolving into spectator chimps of our lives, rather than chimps engaged and involved with the chimping
