Kinda blows that if you select non-binary as your gender on Bumble BFF it will only show you other non-binary matches. Like, I'd love to meet LGBTQ-friendly cis people as potential friends but I guess that isn't allowed and T4T is mandatory huh? !ping ALPHABET-MAFIA

wait so if i want to match with the hot non-binary people on bumble i have to lie and say i'm non-binary myself??

That sounds like bad app design. I see no reason why the friend seeking version wouldnt let you chose genders youre interested in seeing and being shown to.

I agree. They only show same-sex matches on the friends side, which I understand, but there's no reason to be so restrictive on people who don't want to identity with male or female.

Honestly the option would be nice for everyone. I’m not opposed to having male friends. Like I get the idea it just seems a lil restrictive IMO

[Lula says he’s against Congressional investigation of coup attempt](https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/poder/2023/01/lula-se-opoe-a-instalacao-de-cpi-para-investigar-ataque-golpista.shtml) Eh??? !ping LATAM

"We have instruments to monitor what happened in this country. A commission of inquiry might not help and it might create tremendous confusion. We don't need it now." >Lula then explained that the security forces are already advancing in the investigations and mentioned the number of prisoners for involvement in the act. So, my understanding is that Lula thinks the commision is not needed because investigations are already underway. What probably happened, if you ask me, is someone in the more right wing segments of Lula's governing coalition thinks a comission is a no-go, and Lula wants to mantain a governable coalition

That and covering possible mistakes from the Federal Government

Aren't the right-wingers all saying the left-wings pulled a false flag attack to delegitimize them? Isn't this just feeding into that?

I think it's quite possible that the federal government did a bit of intentional negligence. Lula's popularity soared and it helps the "I told you so" narrative. I'd put a 25% probability in that

Yes, this was a bad play by lula tbh, its not like he has any hand on if the investigation happens or not ( tough maybe this is signaling for the PT congressman to not vote for it ) Coming from Lula, a career politician, i dont think this was a accidental blunder of airing opinions better kept secret, i suspect some degree of politicking is taking place behind it all.

Lula is a gangster.

I have just commited a bunch of doug stanhope quotes to memory in order to better iternalize them as a way of life

I'm honestly shocked that guy never went full maga and jumped on board with all the other edgy comedians. Well unless he did and I just didn't hear about it. I guess he was just so numb to edginess at this point he didn't have any more appetite for it.

>Stanhope says that libertarianism was a phase he went through, but described himself as an anarchist in 2017 Nit thta MAGA's are known for their ideological consistency and rationality, but i would have been surprised

We like anarchists now?

He's a comedian. I like his comedy. He is possibly the last person on eqrth i'd like to be governed by

Seems like that disingenuous 'free speech' argument they're always making would have been really up his alley I guess. But anarchist certainly sounds like a man true to his convictions lol.

Naps are overrated, I feel awful for like three hours after waking up from a nap

Michael Jordan took naps. Abraham Lincoln took naps. And you think you’re too good for napping?

I had to enact a strict never-nap policy. My sleep schedule’s completely fucked naturally. Adding a dumb nap throws me off for days.

Similar. When I get tired enough though I can basically nap in any position often against my plans

Yeah, the whole world’s so comfy when I get nappy 🥱

I do this too. It’s better to suffer through and exhausting day than sleep for 2+ hours in the afternoon and not be able to sleep again later on. I also can’t even go to bed earlier most of the time. If I go to bed at 9pm or something I wake up at 3am and can’t sleep again.

How do I become an artisan?

Make stuff and sell it on Etsy until you can afford to open up shop in one of those quaint little tourist towns in New England.

Be bad at something in a way that appeals to the middle-class' effort to appear more sophisticated than they are

But I want to make $3000+ dollar globes, the middle class can't afford those

If you can't sell overpriced crap to the middle-class, you can't be an artisan

Where your killing masses of enemies from a turret? Those are the ones I want

Those are undoubtedly cool, but the one I've been captivated by lately involves drawing lines to enemies in other boxes, ideally to enemies of lower level than you, but of course the video always ends with the gamer drawing a line to a higher number enemy. I also like the ones where you have to get the gold by pulling pins, but need to make sure you don't end up losing the gold to lava or some other hazard.

My favorite part of any anti-outsourcing story is the part where they stop outsourcing and how bad that is (but doing it in the first place is exploitation) > Sama’s decision to end its work with OpenAI meant Sama employees no longer had to deal with disturbing text and imagery, but it also had a big impact on their livelihoods. Sama workers say that in late February 2022 they were called into a meeting with members of the company’s human resources team, where they were told the news. “We were told that they [Sama] didn’t want to expose their employees to such [dangerous] content again,” one Sama employee on the text-labeling projects said. “We replied that for us, it was a way to provide for our families.” Most of the roughly three dozen workers were moved onto other lower-paying workstreams without the $70 explicit content bonus per month; others lost their jobs. Sama delivered its last batch of labeled data to OpenAI in March, eight months before the contract was due to end. https://time.com/6247678/openai-chatgpt-kenya-workers/

I really wish I didn’t overthink everything. I can’t think of one time when overthinking has resulted in something other than unnecessary stress and anxiety.

Isn't that what overtjinking something means? If it didn't cause stress and anxiety it’s not overthinking it. Then your just thinking about it.

You should think about it more, I'm sure if you do you'll find one example

Sounds like you're overthinking this

Also, this thread is great. I love how I can just throw whatever I want to the wind and take in political memes and news ALL IN ONE PLACE. The future is now.

UK MoD thinks Russia is actually deploying T-14s for real, soon. It will certainly be interesting. There's only a few dozens of them, and assuming they don't just break down or had their parts stolen for yachts, they are supposed to be pretty good designs. They have decent optics and battle management systems, and the armored crew pod is good for survivability. Its hard kill APS seems like a workable concept too, but unclear if it can shoot up to defeat modern ATGMs. They'll probably use it to film a couple propaganda videos near the front before returning it to its storage warehouse.

The tanks are one thing; the tank crews are another. I'm skeptical about the state of Russia's men in uniform, *for obvious reasons.*

No city council should have fewer than 30 members.

And also they should be randomly selected.

No, sortition is stupid.

City councilors are literally the dregs of society. Randomly selected residents would be far superior. Their incentives are better aligned with those of the public. Elections are worse than useless at the municipal level in most towns.

Nope. Sortition is stupid.

Read: The Public Administration Theory Primer by H. George Frederickson, Kevin B. Smith, Christopher Larimer, Michael J. Licari

What do they have to say on the matter?

They talk about the various types of city councils. I think they outline three types council, mayoral, and council mayor and otherwise talk a lot about local government.

Oh. Probably council-manager v mayor-council, v some of the less frequent forms like the commission system. I was kinda hoping there was some lit out there on city council size.

There may be my memory is well not perfect. I recall discussions on differential electoral systems on entrenched positions on the city council though

I feel like the vlogbrothers nerdfighters community is a forefather/cousin of this sub

Why. I mean there probably is some overlap

Liberal wonky internet nerd community that distances itself from leftists and focuses on "boring" policies to improve quality of life. Before vlogbrothers (and maybe CGP Grey) there really wasn't much of an internet community that I can recall that matched that ethos

> "boring" policies to improve quality of life Pretty accurate. Yea certainly there is some relations though I think Vlogbrothers has a much more artsy community and is generally more humanities whereas we are more social science

They do seem a little more focused on philosophy and history
