Love/friendship/family/moral high ground/any virtue/you name it always wins and is the solution for all your problems.

Reality is never that simple. So there’s nothing to take away from such a lesson except for false hopes.

I’ve misread and thought you’d buy a horse. I’d support both decisions.

Isn’t that also because, starting in July, there’ll be additional import fees when shopping there? So people are buying everything now to save a few bucks.

Yes, let them fight

Truly, I feel discomfort when I read AI output

Well no, it’s British, not European

I’m in the same boat. For many things I have zero experience in, LLMs provide me with good guidance and starting points. For me it was self-hosting and Smart Home. Of course hallucinations are real and the output can be nonsense, especially if your questions become increasingly niche.

I feel like those are the same people blocking every beneficial change for the company to maintain the status quo (and perhaps their position).

Hyperinflation in Germany after WW1? But I think there must be more examples.

I can feel you. This year I tried to follow politics a bit more thoroughly. It didn’t change anything in how I acted or voted. But it made me feel depressed and stressed out.

Not this one in particular. I already had so many and just made a mental note to harvest there next year.

I live next to a forest and they’re free roamers. When I go for a walk, they often accompany me and stay close by on their own.

I’ve found a giant chicken of the woods polypore on an oak while hiking with three cats. A week later the oak broke apart and was blocking the street for me on my bike.

It’s not sarcasm, it’s cynicism.

Woah! Garages!

Nah, the blinkers of all German cars are just intentionally broken.
