Agreed! I'd say it's moved from advanced to tinkerer level now, where if you have a use case and know it's limitations, it can be pretty neat.

Voice control of devices you have in home assistant is cool, but I don't think I would recommend it to an average person who uses Google assistant. Sure it can turn the lights on and off if it's aware of those entities, but this user is describing playing games, asking for media streams, podcasts, all things home assistant voice does not support (certainly not out of the box).

Thunder also allows user tags. Highly recommend it.

It's not a rumor. I'm sure it's not quite as simple as the internet is making it out to be, but there are systems that the US hosts which are required for full operation.

Love their Chikun Burger.

There needs to be protests in the streets EVERY WEEKEND. The people of North America have forgotten their power.

I'm looking to donate my BTC wallet. Can anyone confirm if they still accept it? All I can find is a tweet from 2022 and nothing current on the site.

Nobody here has at all suggested it's ok to rape kids. I hope you can understand the difference between thinking something and doing something.

We have the same voter apathy problems up here. Stupid people and manipulation tactics know no borders.

Therapy is well and good and I think we need far more avenues available for people to get help (for all issues). That said, sexuality and attraction are complicated.

Let me start by saying I am not trying to state there is a 1:1 equivalence, this is just a comparison, but we have long abandoned conversion therapy for homosexuals, because we've found these preferences are core to them and not easily overwritten. The same is true for me as a straight person, I don't think therapy would help me find men attractive. I have to imagine the same is true for pedophiles.

The question is, if AI can produce pornography that can satisfy the urges of someone with pedophilia without harming any minors, is that a net positive? Remember the attraction is not the crime, it's the actions that harm others that are. Therapy should always be on the table.

This is a tricky subject because we don't want to become thought police, so all our laws are built in that manner. However there are big exceptions for sexual crimes due to the gravity of their impact on society. It's very hard to "stand up" for pedophilia because if acted upon it has monstrous effects, but AI is making us open this can of worms that I don't belive we ever really thought through besides criminalizing and demonizing (which could be argued was the correct approach with the technology at the time).

Fancy processed meat replacements are insanely expensive. Vegan diets? Man that's the cheapest shit there is. Most of the world lives off a similar diet due to poverty.

It's been 6 years for me, but at my peak I used to eat 2 every morning for breakfast.

At one point I looked at all the eggs and chicken breast I was eating by being "healthy" and realized it was not in any way rational or sustainable. How could one person (myself) be responsible for the death of one chicken and two chicks PER DAY! I imagined what it would look like to stuff all those birds into my living room and how there's no way I could farm something on that scale myself (or want to).

So I switched to a vegan diet and never went back. My personal morals tell me I shouldn't eat animal products, but for the average person who doesn't agree I can understand why consumption is through the roof. This separation we have of living creatures into commodities, all behind a legally protected black curtain.

When all that's talked about is how much per dozen, your mind never really stops to think about the rest.
