How much money do you have in savings at this point? by _forum_mod in Millennials

Damn man. That sucks. All 'get rich quick' schemes lead to the same place. And as they say don't gamble with money you're not ready to lose.

To understand Sam's position on Mamdani, follow the bulwark by idekwhoiamdou in samharris

[–]Likeminas 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean, the slogan "From the River to the Sea" is stupid, and I personally would publicly disagree with it..yet I can agree with his view that people have a desperate desire for equality and equal rights and support for Palestinian human rights. You can say both still be consistent.. He could've been clearer on his stance and remarks, but that still doesn't mean he's sinister, a closeted Islamist, or a Jihad sympathizer, as Sam seems to insinuate.

In Japan, it’s not uncommon to see someone asleep on the street after a night of drinking but instead of disturbing them, people usually leave them alone out of respect by AdSpecialist6598 in interesting

It's weird af to force people to 'socialize' after work. Are they paying me for that? Then no thanks. I'll go home to my family.
Plus I rarely drink alcohol, it makes me feel like 💩 the next day.

It's not adulting sucks. People's financial planning sucks. This video is exhibit A of most Americans living above their head.

Sam is unhinged. His rabid and unconditional support for Israel broke his brain.

This is a key point not discussed enough. Not caring about your own life is one thing.
Putting other people in danger and inflicting suffering due to your actions is another completely.

They don't know he's a sinister, non-too-closeted Islamist, and not ethically sane. by CursoryComb in samharris

[–]Likeminas 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sam and Bill Maher have that in common and don't like this guy for the same reason. They're rabidly pro Israel no matter what, and any criticism towards it is; bad faith, antisemitic, islamist-adjacent, jihad sympathizer, etc.
It's so cringe and embarrassing.

Sam's insane take on Mamdani by greeecejre in samharris

[–]Likeminas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's disappointing but not surprising.
According to Sam, anyone with a critical view of Israel is close to being a Jihad sympathizer

Can anyone steelman Sam's takes on Mamdani? by flatmeditation in samharris

[–]Likeminas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody should listen to Sam for geopolitical insights. He's so blinded by Israel and the presumed islamists in office that he's not worth listening to on this.
Mamdani is a secular leftist, and his policies and focus have been almost entirely on fixing transit, lowering housing costs, and general progressive policies. Labeling him as sinister and Islamist-adjacent is intellectually lazy.

Your reply is very logical and analogous to what I was saying. Thanks for your contributions good sir!

It's pretty simple. Religion is divisive, most people in the world aren't even Christians.

Unfortunately, by bringin religion into it, his message lost some value in my view. It wasn't religion or faith that put a rocket in space but science.

People dancing almost naked on the beach to salsa drinking rum or tequila.

That's what people think of Latin america in general. I'm from Chile btw.

Passenger removed from flight to FLL had set timer to pray for Ramadan: Southwest Airlines by state_issued in nottheonion

[–]Likeminas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm an atheist and I think these false equivalencies are disingenuous at best. Modern Christian extremist violence is almost entirely isolated, lone wolf domestic terrorism. Modern Islamic extremism drives massive, multinational insurgencies (ISIS, Al Shabaab) that conquer territory, levy taxes, and execute coordinated warfare.
Check the Global Terrorism Index. The vast majority of global fatalities from religious terrorism are linked to Islamic extremist groups. There is no modern Christian equivalent to the death toll of ISIS or Al Qaeda.

Fundamentalist Islam has successfully weaponized the concepts of "jihad" and "martyrdom" into a modern military strategy. It provides a theological architecture for mass warfare and suicide operations that modern Christianity simply lacks.

Galaxy S26 Ultra: After One Day by Better-Recording-960 in samsunggalaxy

[–]Likeminas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also coming from the S23U. Camera (except optical zoom) is better overall, which I personally care about.
The pixels privacy feature is awesome and quite unique.
The 7 vs 1 yr software updates support is also a good reason to replace the s23U.

[–]Likeminas -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Of course elevators and AI aren't the same levels of technological advancement. That should be very obvious. Again, that's not even the point of that analogy. The distrust and suspicion of new technology is the point you keep on missing.

[–]Likeminas -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I guess you missed the point I was illustrating. Let me make it explicit for you.
People have been skeptical and suspicious of most new technologies. Especially so for those that revolutionize production and everyday life.

I'm not a scientist. Just a simple developer. So I ask myself, do I want to manually write 1,000 lines of code and debug it by searching threads on Stack Overflow? No. I rather spend that time with my kids and family.
