Also talk to you; that’s part of learning how to. It prepares you for rejection of all sorts.

I can't recommend being intentionally rude so that you can get practice dealing with people who are pissed off at you. Learning how to tell when it's a bad time to strike up a conversation with a stranger will be a much greater benefit for anyone looking to meet women or even for someone just working on being friendlier/more social. There'll be no shortage of opportunities to learn how to deal with rejection even without being a pest.

> I can't recommend being intentionally rude...

As I understand, GP is recommending that folks take a risk that their drumming up a conversation might be unwelcome if they are unsure. They're not advocating for folks to harass people who are in no position to chat or who have stated as much.

People can't read minds, so I think we owe grace to the folks around us if they misread a situation and respect your wishes when you let them know that it's you're unwilling or unable to chat at the moment.

While it's great to learn social cues, it's often impossible to know whether someone is in the mood to chat.


I cannot agree with that. Do not be shy about trying, but do not be a pest either. There are many times when interruptions are not good for both sides. My 2c.

Yea, I just read that too.


Yeah, imo, it’s nowhere near ready for 1.0. I was a big advocate for this browser but recently changed because of exactly this. That, and it’s very slow after having it running constantly, I found myself routinely quitting and re-opening it every hour or two to get normal speed back, or my RAM for that matter.

So I’m back on Safari.


It was using 46G of ram the other day. But I prefer it over any other browser so I just kill it every now and again.


How many hundreds or thousands of tabs took 40+ gigs?


Like maybe 100?


Ew. For some reason it looks absolutely disgusting to me.


It’s called suicidal empathy.


You know, feel free to keep thinking this. In my experience Grok is the best. I don’t let myself into weird groupthink that happens just because trolls took advantage of Grok’s absence of lobotomy. Kind of a superpower.


Might not be waiting for long.


There's no way I'm trusting the current driving cohort with a third dimension. If we get flying cars and they aren't completely autonomous, I am moving to the sticks.


Self-flying cars? I wonder if it's actually easier to have autonomous vehicles operating in 3D than in "2D".


The screen is the window.


Exactly what Wowfunhappy and jeffhuys are saying!


? Just build it yourself?


This is your second comment in this thread (as far as I’ve scrolled) saying this without an explanation. Could you elaborate on why?


Quantum computing is mostly a scheme to get more grants/funding for quantum research, it doesn’t have any real world application and most likely won’t have any in the foreseeable future. Like verifiable means i can run 3x3 on any quantum computer and always get 9 as result - but quantum computers cant even do that. Don’t get me wrong; it’s very cool theoretical research, and more power to the scientist. But thinking it will have any impact on the real world in our lifetime is a pipe dream imho
