Now who in the hell downvoted you?

Enjoyed your reply and enthusiasm.

Did you enjoy the read?

Algersome?

We should be able to respond with varying degrees of enthisiasm: Thank you! Alright then. Hmph Meh Eff off.

You know… For sentiment analysis.

People hurt themselves that way. Play it safe, walk slowly to the fridge and back.

I’ve seen a LOT of strawman attacks. It usually seems to be honest miscommunication, but underneath that… It looks like predisposition to combative and somewhat-dismissive hot takes.

And it works. Certain members have swung entire conversations and down votes by implying a person said something they didn’t.

It’s not unique to online fora, but the concentration seems off here.

Some of this just looks like people feeling like big fish in this small pond and finding a degree of confidence or even righteousness from the voting patterns.

Why would they need us except as consumers? At a certain point automation and AI actually do get far enough.

That may take longer than people think.

I mean… We’re still unwinding injustices related to kidney transplants.

It’s 2024.

OT Christians (I know, but run with it), see that God blesses his chosen. The more they’re blessed, the obvious God’s favor is.

Abraham, David, Solomon. All favored and ended up rich.

I mean, we could always just go original Time Machine. Human sheep just existing until we don’t.

We need teachers. Many would do it, but they want respect and support.

So I’m guessing they’d need money.

This is my theory, also. But I think the average would be around replacement.

Have three grown kids. Three was probably about all I could handle. Love them, proud of them, took the best care I knew to do with what I had… But it was a lot as they got into demand extracurriculars.

I said it’s by the interstate. Locals know where to go, others just get gas and get about their drive.

I’m not telling you where I live, but it’s near an interstate.

I’m not lying and I don’t enjoy the accusation.

You also, after the veiled ad hom, did nothing to address the topic.

If there’s competition, yes.

If there’s scarcity, where the supplier side has more leverage, the math changes. They may well just volunteer to make more profit.

Where I live, the difference of one block is 50 cents over two intervals. One price on this street, 50 cents cheaper a block further, and another 50 cents cheaper another block down. $1 in difference total.

They’re all in business and have been this way for years.

You’d go up at least 10 cents. Still worth it to cross the street, but more profit while it’s available.

That was surprisingly good, thoughtful, and science-based.

Thank you.

The video title is “Depressed” not “Depressing.”

He based that on the suicide rate. It’s hard to have a metric for happiness/depression, but that’s a credible one.

The article took liberties with the message.

He spoke directly with many people across South Korea. Interview style and not coming at it with a load of certanties.

By the second sentence he said, “South Korea.”

I don’t know why so many people here have to imagine a slight and then react against it.
