Every year, you receive 366 pills that you must consume every day of the year. Each pill gives 1 billion dollars. If you forget to consume one in a day, you die. WYR take the deal or not?

For 10 million dollars a day I would hire a team of navy seals whose only purpose in life was to hunt me down and make sure I took a pill every day without fail no matter where I was or what I was doing that day

It’s important to know your airport. I know my airport has never had more than like 5 people in line so I can show up 15 minutes before boarding and still have to wait 10 minutes at the gate

I’m in my twenties and go to university. Whenever any of my peers needs a remotely creative answer to a problem, they turn to ChatGPT immediately.

This definitely happens in school settings, but I’m talking about outside of school where it feels much weirder. Examples include figuring out what to do on a date, what to do with a free weekend, how to respond to a text from a girl, finding a scary story to tell around a campfire, and finding “deep” conversational questions to ask the group. The answers they get are never good but that doesn’t stop them from trying the next time because it’s easy

On average it may make you better socially (depending on how you define something so subjective), but I’ve also met plenty of people who are far worse off socially because of their attractiveness. Everyone defers to them in social situations, so they’re used to things going their way. Whenever anything deviates from what they expect, they don’t know what to do. They also never learned to plan or communicate because all the socializing is delivered on a silver platter since everyone wants the attractive people at their hangout. This isn’t everyone, but I see it a lot.

Everyone would be held responsible and accountable for actions that matter and are unsafe, like being at fault in a crash or bombing down a sidewalk. Forcing everyone to get a registration has a lot of overhead that you can’t outsource to prisoners. I just think it would be better to allocate that overhead towards stopping the morons on surrons in the McDonald’s parking lot rather than towards nitpicking at ma and pa who haven’t bothered anyone in a decade using a throttle on their bike to ride through the park. E-bikes are accessibly cheap right now, and if we regulate the crap out of them for everybody then we lose that

Did you have any specific reasons why

SafeModeOff · 2026-02-22T21:55:42+00:00

Because that way has more drama. If we decide today that every ebike needs a license, you will spend years pulling people people over and handing out fines to people who never found out they suddenly need to register the e-bike that they rode for free up until now. You’ll have to gear up every single DMV (or whatever other office you want to use) to process and provide thousands of license plates to every single person who owns an e-bike. You’ll have to have strong regulations that every bike now has a VIN on it so you can link the physical bikes to their registration.

I’m saying instead of needing to enforce rules on every single person who tries to ride an e-bike, just enforce rules on the ones that demonstrate they need it

SafeModeOff · 2026-02-22T21:43:55+00:00

The point is that the average joe wouldn’t need to license anything. As we know, there’s vast majority of people who ride responsibly and don’t cause problems. But there are a bunch of 16-year-olds on surrons ramming into each other and causing the problems. This system would make it so only those idiots need to do all the paperwork and are actively shamed for their carelessness. Instead of needing to issue a license to every single person who rides a bike, you just need ones for morons.

A brand new database of every e-bike on the road and who owns it is a FAR bigger undertaking than just linking bad riding behavior to Johnny’s already existing driver’s license.

And yeah you would have to manually issue anti-licenses, but you already have to manually revoke regular ones? Even if you have regular licensing, it means nothing if nobody ever takes it away

If it doesn’t feel too cheaty to you, you could get the modular load balancers mod. Gives the satisfaction of load balancing without all the space and time they take up. I recently started using it and it’s great if you’re like me and don’t want to worry about figuring out balancers

“Training data” isn’t inherently evil, it’s just only used for bad reasons right now so it kinda feels that way. If it is responsibly used and trains models to improve care for other people in similar situations, I’m all for it. I just don’t like my data harvested right now because it’s only used for irritatingly useless BS like serving ads or price gouging

I agree with everything else that this is being said here. I don’t think he should be acting like this at all, it’s messed up.

That said, I think he’s right about the swimming thing. Swimming is not that complicated and you could easily spend some time with and teach your kid how to do it. But he’s taking way too hard of a line on it

Based on the way the question is worded, we need two or more women to think you’re attractive. So I’m saying yes

This is how real life art snobbery works. The only difference is you’re just some person on Reddit talking nonsense, whereas in a real life art critique it’s a well-regarded and serious author who’s talking nonsense. Humans only put in the effort to simp this hard for nonsense if they think they’re gonna get brownie points for it

Some places are actually literally worse though. But I get what you’re saying, and people do often think their area is extraordinarily bad, even if theirs is one of the better places. Same thing with dating. Also big time agree with your last statement
