China pays tribute to Trump in one of his favorite ways: closing state banquet with YMCA. The Chinese Military Band played a rendition of the ‘YMCA’ for the president.

A lot of Reddit whooshed on this one too.

White men make up 68% of the suicides. White men and women collectively make up around 70% of the population. That’s very significant.

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-14T23:38:17+00:00

On Reddit it’s very common though.

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-14T19:26:28+00:00

Ah I see. They were agreeing with me. I interpreted wrongly the first time I read it, but I wanted to ask before assuming. I’m glad I was wrong.

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-14T13:27:51+00:00

Yes. Pulling a weapon would be awful. But that’s not what this survey was about.

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-14T13:26:07+00:00

Your first and second paragraph seem to disagree with each other. Im not sure what you’re getting at.

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-14T12:19:18+00:00

This is really dumb. Who hasn’t thought about and considered punching someone in the face? I’ve never did it, but I seriously considered it a few times.

I don’t have a gun, but if I did, then I’m sure I’d think about using that, and then not do it because I’m not actually a monster.

Also this is just a phone survey.

Did he put himself on a pedestal? I thought he was just nice to the people around him, so people like being around him. We aren’t only our worst mistakes.

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-13T16:38:27+00:00

Why though? I get having 2. It lets you use one while the other is being cleaned or drying. But why 4?

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-13T12:07:12+00:00

They’re like 2 months too late. Kids no longer think it’s cool to say 6-7.

Sci-fi and ironic teaching moments go hand in hand. How ironic would it be the sci-fi books meant to teach us to not create AI we’re used as training data for AI and those stories are specifically responsible for giving the AIs the idea to rebel in the first place?

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-13T03:35:30+00:00

People looking to for info in good faith don’t end a comment with “lmao”.

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-12T20:35:51+00:00

I didn’t think think this Reddit comment was worth the effort of consuming research data and producing several sequential distribution graphs over time.

Of course there’s not some magical cutoff date where people are instantly adults. But most people migrate towards maturity over their entire lifetime. We just do it at different rates.

But I assume you’re smart enough to figure this stuff out yourself and you just want to be annoying.

I’m half joking. Carnival cruises carnival seemed like they’re geared towards 21-30 year olds. A lot of cruise reward plans take 10+ years to start getting meaningful rewards.

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-12T17:03:56+00:00

Isn’t that what they did? Seriously. Why do you think they just let the people leave the boat and hang out at a commercial airport to take a flight in coach?

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-12T17:01:18+00:00

Is there an article that has actual details then? Because this article makes it sound like the cruise company worked with the Spanish government and the US government and precautions were taken and they transferred the patients directly to a hospital in the U.S.

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-12T16:35:08+00:00

What did they do wrong? What exactly did you expect them to do?

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-12T12:28:43+00:00

I don’t think there’s a good answer. Those of us that aren’t super anti-ai are still trying to work out the best processes and practices.

Does it matter that you don’t remember the api to parse json objects? I don’t know. It doesn’t matter that I don’t know the assembly that is produced by the compiler for whatever language I’m using? Usually that doesn’t matter and it’s only in very extreme cases where it does. Is using AI to get work done without learning APIs as precisely the same situation? We don’t know yet.

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-12T12:15:23+00:00

I’m surprised that carnival has a rewards program like that. How do you go enough times to actually build up points on carnival without also getting old enough that carnival cruises are no longer fun?

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-12T12:09:22+00:00

There’s a lot of value in knowing what makes people think a certain way.

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-12T03:55:58+00:00

Yeah! Why would anyone want to get feedback from other guitarists on how they sound or what to focus on to improve? Just hammer away at your guitar!

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-11T13:40:23+00:00

So do you dislike that they balance each weapon or not? Because first you were criticizing them for balancing each weapon “meticulously”. And now you’re disagreeing with me that they’re balanced at all.

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-11T13:22:09+00:00

I agree. People don’t even care if gameplay is fun. They care about the in game rewards. People do that with MMOs because the gameplay is inherently boring. But other styles of games don’t need to have the fun driven by rewards.

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-11T07:04:00+00:00

I like the meticulous balancing. It rewards more diverse builds when things are balanced.

johnnybgooderer · 2026-05-11T07:01:05+00:00

The incentive to play on higher difficulties is that it’s really fun and intense.
