I said this on Reddit, but of course the comments got almost no views.

Aside from moving to federated platforms, our only move is to pit them against each other.

Disguise your dissent as a jab against a competing platform or founder.

I believe it is colloquially referred to as a soft science because of exactly that.

I’ve never had a therapist recommend meds or getting meds, but maybe I’ve just been lucky.

I do think many people are able to judge if the effects of therapy are good or bad, but often they depend on the relationship between the therapist and the patient itself. I’ve had bad therapy that was only bad because they were not a good fit for me.

This is completely horrible, and I am so sorry for the friend as well. But both of you seem to be conflating therapy and psychiatry.

Psychiatry is the practice of prescribing pharmacological agents to affect brain chemistry for whatever desired outcome.

Therapy is talking about and getting down to the reasons you feel the way you feel and does not involve medication. It is almost universally helpful, and likely would have helped the friend a great deal.

My kids. They are incredible people and I am so lucky to have them.

This is just not true for an enormous number of people. The wealth disparity is striking. The ones who are making it are making it, but it is nowhere near everyone.

Moving to Tidal as we speak. Enough is enough.

God no.

“Livin’ the dream”

Literally talked with him in an ultra realistic dream last night. Told him to “hang in there” and then I showed him some cool tech he has to look forward to.

Or, even more ironically, maybe they used ChatGPT to analyze the changes and it missed it. This would tickle me to some extent, but also solidify the terror of such a system being used to make life altering decisions.

Here is the poor little guy closer.

I have a 2012 MacBook Pro that runs exactly as it did when I bought it. It’s fast enough (i7), has retina resolution and can triple boot. I feel like I may have gotten my money’s worth over the 14 years it’s been running perfectly. The hardware is also still basically pristine.

ITS BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE MADE OF SNOW

Why 90% of these dudes look like they fr eat babies tho

Fun fact, the G in Kenny G is for Gorelick. Though they don’t seem to be related.

Ahhh yeah naww

Dear god, please help us know how best to please the antichrist. Thx.

I’m a photographer and imaging specialist. I’ve built capture systems and processing pipelines and projectors. Literally nothing is raw. But do go on.

Thanks for your meaningful, informed, and helpful contribution.

Of course it’s edited. Pro tip: every image is edited. Nothing anyone sees is raw from the sensor. It’s all completely arbitrary. Even people who shoot film show edited photos, they just offload the editing to the film lab. Someone else is doing the processing for them.

Even direct from a digital camera to jpeg, the camera is performing countless transformations and adjustment s before burning to jpeg. See film emulations on Fuji cameras for example.

The entire point of photography is to present to people a compelling vision that feels the way you did when you saw it.

That being said, this is basic curve and a vignette.
