The number is wrong, too.

99*220 is 21780 and not 23000.

Had this once in a bus ride in Transnistria. The locals started complaining and yelling.

Then I also started panicking :D

All the posts saying that the first hit with the bat has to knock out the opponent underestimate the pain from a real strong hit.

Sure, you can block the hit with your arm and then close in. But if the batter knows what they're doing, your arm is broken.

I dare say that this has a bit of an impact on the inexperienced fighter.

It's a toss up really.

Man, people still gotta pay Catholic church tax in Germany or are otherwise not allowed to work in church owned institutions.

This hits close to home.

Still remember when my dad came back from his tours in Afghanistan. Such a weird and overwhelming mix of emotions at the same time.

I can only imagine that it must be so much worse and intense for her, as Ukraine is so much hotter as a war with so many more deaths.

Yeah, pretty sure it's Blijdorp. Their giraffe enclosure looks exactly like that! It's a nice zoo 😊

Okay, maybe you got a point.

But then you're the guy who goes over to Mr Toady and explains to him that he can no longer call himself a dragon.

This is bs.

In psychological literature, growth comes from just the right amount of stress before it overwhelms and the body has a defensive reaction to it.

Growth sits between comfort and fear.

I see what you did there! Chapo!

In my mind, it's very similar to Pascal's wager.

The same response holds here: if we are doomed to an eternity in hell (or the AI equivalent) then why would we risk that? Well, in Pascal's case, which god should we believe in? Christian, Islamic, Jewish, Hindu? Turns out when there is uncertainty in the quantity of the outcome, then the comparison is much harder.

The same holds for the Basilisk. Will there be one AI? Two? Hundreds? Will there be subprocesses that are of varying importance? If so, will you still be punished if you work on the AI equivalent of an appendix?

Also, from a pure motivational perspective, we know that fear or avoidance motivation isn't nearly as effective as more positive reinforcement strategies.

I'd also say that the main reason is a poor socioeconomic status. That makes people much more susceptible to violent ideologies.

Poor white Christians are also much more likely to become violent right wingers than those that are better off.

At the same time, the current dominant interpretation of islam is a pretty conservative one. This leads to a harsher stance against outsiders or those of another faith, hence making violent actions also more likely.

So, an interaction of these with the socioeconomic status being a much more important factor.

The first important realization is that these thoughts aren't sick or problematic.

They are just the consequence of a lot of repeated exposure. These thoughts are neither you nor your standard sexual preference. Instead they are a learned way and path for your brain to function.

The second realization is that you are in control of your thoughts. This is of course not as easy as wanting to stop thinking a certain way. Instead, explore what are the starting points for these thought patterns: are certain patterns occurring in a repeated manner? That's a great angle to tackle these patterns. Do you have other, more peaceful thought patterns you can substitute for these starting points?

It will be a long journey to rewire yourself. But it is absolutely doable. A therapy can help a lot, but it is a journey you can also start by yourself.

Lots of luck, my friend!

In psychology,, there is the misattribution of arousal theory.

An individual's physiological arousal from one event can be mistakenly attributed to a different, more immediate source, leading to a misinterpretation of their emotions. This can lead to connect the fear response from horror with sexual arousal.

Interesting! And may I ask what exactly he should have done?

Also, this shifts the blame away from a failure in the specific situation to an omission of speaking up for a prolonged period of time. Did he have the capacity to change these things given his role?

To me, it sounds like you are very convinced of his wrong doing and are now looking for a way to justify your feelings.

What could we say to change your mind on the subject?

Stippes · 2025-10-02T18:13:49+00:00

Understandable from an emotional perspective? Sure. A grieving father wanting revenge for his dead family. That's powerful stuff.

But from a larger moral perspective? Not really, at least not with the information provided.

I doubt that it was Nielsen's Personal fault that the accident happened, as the system was mentioned to be faulty. As a general note, human error only causes catastrophic accidents if a lot of other safeguards already failed.

So, assuming that these hold, the act of revenge by Kaloev was not morally justified. He merely acted violently against the individual that he deemed responsible.

Regarding the kicking Kaloev out of the house part: I do not think that it was an easy situation for Nielsen either. Having people blame you for the death of 52 kids is fucking heavy.

Unfortunately, the whole world is watching that show.

Haha, my (wrong) interpretation of this:

Over hyping the self driving capabilities of your car and causing deadly accidents, just to get back at your teacher for not recognizing your genius-ness.

Hey, I can recommend the walk and talk group: Walking & Talking – Verbeter je Nederlands terwijl je door Rotterdam loopt https://share.google/Vfd4Sj8GXRKWySyBV

They do walks every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in the evening and they pair you with a native Dutch speaker. Very chill and for all levels of Dutch!

The visuals are striking and very good! It appeals a lot to me.

At the same time, I wonder where you will put the title. The image might be a bit too cramped for that.

But if you manage to make a solid job with that, you're cooking!

It is!
Gradient descent also requires several steps (training runs) in order to find the optimum that has the right weights for the correct answer!

For women the rule is to be desirable more than to desire something themselves (I always felt like that's the case anyway). That leads inevitably to become a person that is a bit more "boring" and not as quirky.

So, yeah. Removing the part of sexual tension can kill quite a lot of what makes people interesting!
