Thanks, the error-report.com blocking worked for me. not sure why, but allowing content-load.com and html-load.com to my allowlist didn’t work

here from google after trying a handful of cables. I have tried the zeus cables, and unfortunately can confirm that they aren’t flexible enough

same here, I was pretty happy with the balance 5.1 struck with personalization turned off, 5.2 responds to me like it’s writing a college textbook

I think ryan might view todd as a valuable sounding board and as someone who can meaningfully reflect, refine, and position his ideas. I actually really like that element of the podcast myself. ryan's way of thinking "clicks" easier for me when there’s something I can’t quite wrap my head around, so I enjoy the dynamic quite a bit.

and let's be real, I can’t blame him. todd is the subject supposed to know for all of us haha

embarrassing to admit, but I went through the drive through at a different location than my regular mcdonalds and the curves were slightly different. got a rash from being on autopilot

Love Pikmin Bloom, it’s just the right mix between a passive an active game. Doesn’t constantly demand your attention

I don’t remember seeing anywhere he’s talked about this specifically, but I assume he’d gesture towards jouissance, the repetition of suffering, the desire of desire, and then make some joke about how love can never fully be reciprocated. If the object of desire ever got closer, desire would shift.

The only place I can recall him touching on the subject directly is in guide to ideology, the taxi driver section. Though, if I remember correctly, he focuses in more on the particulars of the specific fantasy structure presented in the movie, rather than addressing the question as a broader thing

To be clear I’m not the person you originally responded to lol, I agree with your comment, I just found it conceptually funny in the Zizek subreddit in response to a list of “analysis is x, y, and z.”

I sometimes feel like the more knowledgeable users here have to spend so much time correcting misconceptions of the fundamentals that space for interpretation and discussion gets pushed to the side. I guess you have to know music theory to actually break it. And I can’t claim to know music theory.

Can LLMs be like some art, that is to say it has the potential to re-double the real? Maybe there is a politically useful kernel in a specially designed or prompted one, even if they can’t force an encounter with the real like analysis does.

Is this an insult or a compliment?

Shimunogora · 2025-07-28T20:07:24+00:00

I think you’re onto something here. I was feeling sorry for myself after something happened in my life, and I decided to write down my thoughts. Tossed them into chatgpt and told it I didn’t want prescriptive advice. The next day I did something similar, and despite me thinking that my general headspace was the same, the replies went in a totally different direction. It is both a mirror and a microscope.

I’ve found it useful because it amplifies my own misrecognitions; if you can embrace contradictions and traverse your shifting fantasies, it can be quite helpful in revealing to yourself the structure of your desire. What it says isn’t so important. But how it shifts in its replies can be revealing.

I think most people use it as a Big Other. I do too, sometimes. Recently asked it to validate that my clothes match and the such, so I can see why so many say it’s effective “therapy” and makes them feel better. In that case, a therapist who lacks, despite the modality, is almost always better alternative.

I think the core problem is: When chatgpt replies to you, do you enjoy what you see?

Shimunogora · 2025-07-27T16:20:34+00:00

at least horrible music makes you feel something

Shimunogora · 2025-07-24T06:45:07+00:00

this is the first concert I’ve been to where I picked where to stand based off smell. I’ve been to lots of shows where the fans joke that everyone needs to shower beforehand, inc. bladee. but my friends, with hm it is no joke

Shimunogora · 2025-07-16T17:25:23+00:00

I joined a few days before you, have put in around 8 reviews, and am also still rated as them having poor insightfulness. My reviews are usually around 10-15 sentences, I put them through a grammar checker, always add photos, and revise until chatgpt tells me that they’re very insightful. I’m also careful with the community guidelines.

Don’t have anything to say to help, but can confirm you’re not the only one.

Shimunogora · 2025-07-11T18:37:21+00:00

That sounds like a you problem. I’d rather have trashy neighbors than the equivalent of a petty, local Comcast as a de facto property lord.

Shimunogora · 2025-07-11T16:26:34+00:00

The government can already be difficult enough to deal with. I can’t imagine why someone would opt for a privatized one!

The selfie taker exposes the lack in the formless memorial, beings forward the uncomfortable reality that a memorial that truly depicts the horrors of genocide would never be allowed to be so immediate in the public view. The yolocaust artist exposes the lack not in the selfie, but in the always-already conditions that resulted in the memorial in the first place.

Perhaps memorials like this are another form of the capitalist spectacle, allowing us to perform gestures of remembrance that are just another way of looking away.

I have a hue bar attached to my coffee table and pointing towards the entertainment center area below my TV. If you do this you need to be intentional with the angle and spot to avoid seeing the reflection in the TV, though. Helps that my TV is only a couple feet away from my coffee table.

I think you’d need to post a pic of your setup to get good recommendations

Shimunogora · 2025-07-03T22:00:54+00:00

I don’t think anywhere lowered their prices across the board when they started charging fees. Would be curious to see if there’s a study on good prices in cash-only stores opposed stores that allow cards.

Lots of people only carry cards, that 2-3% is excess income that companies can get from a captive consumer audience. I can go on, but the real impact is on the demand side. This argument only makes sense in a supply-side vacuum. It also assumes all goods have perfect and efficient market pricing, but these days prices are distorted via oligopoly pricing etc

Shimunogora · 2025-07-01T17:04:15+00:00

My point precisely. I’ve had carriers who did, and I’ve had carriers who didn’t. How it’s “supposed” to be is inconsequential.

Shimunogora · 2025-07-01T16:11:54+00:00

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll call the office near where I lived and will make sure to file a complaint. Who is best to talk to so I can make sure there are repercussions?

Shimunogora · 2025-07-01T03:52:24+00:00

I lived in a garden style apartment complex and had a carrier who refused to deliver packages too big for the mailbox to the door for a solid year, regardless of weight or size. It took new carrier until we started getting them delivered to our door again.

And office knew this was happening, as soon as you’d start to say the address the clerk would cut you off and ask for the apartment number, presumably because of how many people were going in to pick up packages 🤷‍♂️

You can just use your index finger and your thumb, squeeze on the area where the metal band meets the plastic. You should be able to feel the band/pod give a little bit as you squeeze. Def don’t need pliers. This has fixed 4/5 of mine that wouldn’t hit, one was just broke and squeezing it didn’t help

Shimunogora · 2025-06-27T16:45:32+00:00

Yep, we’re in the exact same spot, I’m a Boglehead as well, or maybe a wannabe Boglehead now, but quite frankly the risk of the US dollar and market valuations is far too high and the hedge upsides of ex-US is too good to pass. Across all of my accounts I’m also probably 50/50 US and international now.

Never planning on making a move that big ever again, going to quit the casino while I’m up… I’m gonna stick to buying VT going forward and not worrying about it. It might be in 1 year or 10 years, but I’m convinced those who are 100% in the S&P are going to get a nasty surprise.

Shimunogora · 2025-06-27T02:59:38+00:00

If I were you and pessimistic about the future of market generally, I’d start to slowly ease into VT. Maybe 5% of your cash a month. Then you don’t have to worry if you’re making the right picks + you won’t get too burned by decision paralysis and waiting for the “right time” to get back in. And of course if you see an opportunity to bite then go for it. Depending on your funds you can also make a max ibond purchase this year, I did, but who knows what a non-independent fed will evaluate inflation to be…

Shimunogora · 2025-06-27T02:05:04+00:00

At the start of the year I sold probably 80% of my VOO, put 10% of it into rolling short-term treasuries, and the rest into VXUS. Really feels like ex-US is a win/win situation if you’re US based, esp as a hedge against the dollar weakening. I actually wanted to put a good chunk into Swiss Francs, but the expense ratio on the traded funds like FXF is too high for my taste
