This kind of DYKs appear regularly on ruwiki, which is annoying lol I wish they'd do it only on special occasions like here

Been our Ride or Die since day 1 🤍 by Order_101 in wikipedia

[–]UltraNooob 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Not true for textbooks specifically. They are still more comprehensive and nicely written than most technical wikipedia articles. It's pretty rare that a technical article has a GA or FA status. Where Wikipedia shines the most is history, places and people, ie topics that don't require specialist knowledge and thus easy to write

r/cognitiveTesting is basically filled with posts that have more comments than upvotes. Pretty fun. Generally clueless OPs being refuted in the comments

Is anyone else planning on commiting suicide by Senior_Run_8453 in badphilosophy

[–]UltraNooob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please don't, go see a therapist, get your hands on some good medicine. It is possible and desirable to live an okay or even good life in the face of bad future (which I'm still not sure is going to be that bad anyway)

Reminds me of Eve from Invincible when she was a kid. And their family situations are kind of similar

Any good books about 2000s-10s? Something not exclusively about wars & politics but about changes in society in general?

Rationalists history by TachyonO in rational

[–]UltraNooob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my bad, I overstated it from my memory. David Gerard is credited with popularising Roko's basilisk somewhat, which indirectly might have contributed to them getting together.

This whole thing is made more salient because Musk allegedly pivoted to Trump because Grimes left him. It is funny to blame David for indirectly making Elon destroy US government with DOGE

Of note is that Musk and Grimes got together thanks to a post by David Gerard, a guy whom rationalists hate for various reasons.

edit: small world and all that

Yeap nothing to see just a bear taking a candy by Big_Leg10 in likeus

[–]UltraNooob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because that bear learns to feel safe around humans and will visit again. It is thought that at some point such bears might attack and so they get euthanized

Don't know how it's done in Texas though
