A null pointer exception is technically memory safe, you can get equivalent behavior with .unwrap() on an Option in Rust.

And network effects would ensure 95% of users stay on TikTok/YouTube/Instagram/…

Overwhelming emotions all the time that she cannot explain or process… the only answer she comes to is IDK.

Open-ended questions can be hard. Perhaps you can ask a series of simpler questions, such as “are you feeling good/bad/neutral/idk?” with follow ups for emotions like happy, sad, excited (can be good/bad/neutral), tired, etc. If you’re asking to gauge her response to something, consider asking something like “is this a good/bad/neutral/idk thing” and digging deeper into what aspects are good/bad; then you can ask about concrete plans like “should we seek/avoid that?” or “should I stop/continue that?” and elaborate further on how you should try to achieve those.

Of course, there is a risk of overwhelming her with questions, so you should probably monitor for symptoms and behaviors that indicate she’s getting more overwhelmed, or even just ask.

Jumping off of what you said: I feel a lot more comfortable when people are very clear and direct about expectations. I hate the feeling that I might be doing something wrong but I’m unsure.

People: hey you should think about this a bit and consider changing it to have a small positive impact

You: 🤬

Nobody’s forcing you to, nobody’s yelling at you, if you don’t do it it’s not a massive deal, you’re just yelling at clouds. Actually that’s not entirely true; I’m yelling at you because of your absurd overreaction to the mere idea of being a little thoughtful.

I don’t know if you got it from media, or you heard about this movement and for some reason immediately jumped to “they’re forcing us!”, but you really need to do some self reflection on why you got it so wrong and why you were so quick to do this outburst.

I see mostly people defending master starting arguments. I’ve never seen anyone pushing for main get even half as mad as some of the people coming up with a reason why it’s stupid. Like, holy shit guys, just don’t change it and move on, why be so mad about it?

sans undertale??

Maybe you can tell them how they’re making you feel? It’s plausible they could be trying to accommodate you but in a way where they make bad assumptions rather than asking you. If so, maybe they’ll listen.

At the very least, even if asking burns the friendship even more, you’ll have some data to predict how someone might think in another/future friendship.

That doesn’t negate the good times. I remember when I struggled to make friends, and most of my “friends” weren’t really friends, but it was still better than nothing.

My type of person! Same!

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation lobbied against waiving intellectual property laws that would’ve let countries produce the vaccines themselves. Instead, only the pharma companies that owned the IP could produce it, and those vaccines were immediately gobbled up by wealthy countries leaving millions in poorer countries without a vaccine. So no, he’s not one of the good ones, his philanthropy is still evil with a hint of good purely to launder his reputation.

I’m pro Israel for saying your anti Zionism is good but your attacking random (non Zionists) people online is bad?

The links I gave were definitely not those things you just said and we both know it, so drop the motte and bailey and own up to what you’ve been doing.

Really take some time to reflect on why you’re so angry and defensive. Judging by the 3 replies I got from you, I think this was you desperately responding to save face, and I don’t want that, I want you to take some time to think about this.

Like this where you attack a woman for having the gall to say men are scary, or this where you bully a neurodivergent person for explaining that they can’t parse sarcasm? idk, kinda seems like “people you individually disagree with” is pretty apt. I mean, one of the posts is you not understanding a bad joke.

It’s weird, because your profile shows you’re aggressively anti Zionist and anti Russian imperialist, but then you also have this weird community for calling random people “fucking idiots” for seemingly no reason? Maybe direct your anger more towards the imperialism and less towards people who, at worst, are mildly annoying or wrong on the Internet.

“I mean, some of us are nonbinary, but that’s not the reason for they/them!”

My keys were fine, I’d used them on a previous system. My best guess is boot failed because GPU firmware wasn’t signed with my keys, only Microsoft’s keys. And of course, I can’t just CMOS clear, and I don’t have an iGPU. It’s crazy that an OS can brick my motherboard; I’d be a lot more forgiving if a BIOS option bricked it, but exposing a “brick me” option in efivars for any ring 0 software to press??

I enrolled custom keys and bricked my motherboard 🙃

I guess it’d be a good place to post screenshots of your stuff. I did read it, you’re not magically a genius for telling others to read slower.

Point 2 is covered by having a control group and point 3 seems to be missing the point: well yeah, don’t take the conclusion too far, but that doesn’t mean measuring arousal is bad science.

Bigger issues are low sample size (as you mentioned) and the fact that it’s a correlational study that hasn’t done any work to causally link them.
