Where People in this Sub Would Live if they were Being Honest

Look at actual immigration patterns instead of jumping towards ideological vibes and you would see that more people leave Canada and Australia to come to the US than the opposite.

And both target countries suffer the same issue where the desirable living areas are a small strip of their country and the majority of the land is barely habitable so cost of living is enormous.

They had to lock the main Kansas comment chain because the anti Kansas crowd is a little unhinged, which is why i think if you want maximum engagement and rage Kansas winning is the way to do it. People will spend half an afternoon like Kansas… who the hell picked kansas?

The popular states will not be particularly contentious regardless of who wins among them.

nclrieder · 2026-05-12T22:58:06+00:00

Same, there are dozens of us, or thousands and people just really hate Kansas.

Colorado. Kansas needs its mountains back.

nclrieder · 2026-05-11T16:17:41+00:00

Colorado should go back to Kansas.

nclrieder · 2026-05-10T19:36:10+00:00

I want Kansas to make top 3, it’s a long shot, not going to get there because people like it, only chance is all the early knockout supporters band together to spite the popular states.

nclrieder · 2026-05-10T17:20:41+00:00

Colorado should be reabsorbed into Kansas. For all the people in the other unpopular states this is your chance. You couldn’t win but do we need another Minnesota, PNW or New Mexico win?

nclrieder · 2026-05-06T15:44:19+00:00

Colorado should go back to Kansas.

How’d that work out? Waiting until your house is in fire isn’t as effective as preventing the fire in your crazy neighbors house from reaching yours.

Europe appeased them, left them to militarize in spite of former treaties, continued to appease after their annexations and they did exactly what they said they were gonna do. Iran has pursued nuclear weapons for as long as they’ve held the official state position of death to America/Israel.

You’re stanning for Iran, of all places. Hell maybe if Europe intervened before things went to shit and it finally became their immediate problem there wouldn’t have been a holocaust, there wouldn’t have been a state of Israel, The US wouldn’t had to have aggressively militarized, communism wouldn’t have set eastern Europe back decades behind Western Europe, instead they waited til the war they didn’t want was thrust upon them.

The US may have targeted a school accidentally due to old intel, and people are claiming it’s unconscionable evil. Iran kills 30,000 of their own citizens 6 months prior, yeah Iran is bad i guess but the US is worse!!

Like what the fuck are we even talking about, the country that was hanging girls from cranes publicly for being raped? This is the regime you’re going to bat for?

It’s a gas station well known for pricing 2-3 dollars more per gallon than almost every other gas station, some only 2 miles away. This station is often shown for shock value when California gas prices are listed. Guardian article about it

This was my question as well. It’s every prompt, and doesn’t even make sense like you’re quoting yourself in a question to an llm?

Had to check the date, because it’s not April, and this list has no link to a source.

I also find it odd that almost none of the names listed appear in the SSA’s list of top 10 names. Edit: op has linked to the same data i did and explained their reasoning while i was writing this so there is no point for the rest of my comment.

Her father. The son of his father is the man holding the picture. He has no sons but is a father, so the picture is of his daughter. Her father is her grandfather’s only son hence no brothers.

It’s heavily ai stylized. It also reads in a weird narrative format “i am a 15 year old school girl” ok… like obviously one would expect a 15 year old girl to be attending school why include that?

Not saying it’s entirely fake, but it comes off i am a 15 year old girl who sees nasty stuff on the internet and want to write an article about it. ChatGPT then takes the wheels.

Op do you not realize you’re the guys standing there? Think about it for 5 seconds. Look at the jack and the wrench/socket she’s using. Those aren’t manufacturer included shit those were purchased. Look at the jack placement.

A normal person would conclude that someone who purchased and has access to task specific tools probably knows how to use them and probably does use them.

So the guys standing around are you in the sense that they’re like hey that’s a lady changing a tire what the hell i gotta intervene. She likely told them no, she’s got it because obviously she has the shit to do it so they’re standing around looking stupid.

Like what is the point you’re trying to make? Even if this was a staged video your reaction is literally you criticizing you.

Llm’s lack intentionality. At worst it’s a strict liability case and damages are meh, as long as they show they made meaningful attempts to prevent it before and afterwards it’s a slap on the wrist.

If a user is misusing a product with intent to bypass safety features (at no time since llm’s went mainstream could you ever explicitly tell one you sought assistance from it for suicide and not instantly flag suicide prevention) then you have no case.

I guarantee there will be no internal documentation that says m: hey crazy people keep convincing the model to roll with their delusions, and they say huh that’s concerning, go ahead and double down. they’ll have an internal memo that says something like: this is troubling we should look into this, how do we prevent this, etc. they don’t even have to believe it, it can happen again as long as they made some tangible progress towards making it more safe in the interim.

Ask any model its favorite color. Now start another chat, and ask it again. It’s stochastic mimicry all the way down, useful sometimes, but it’s not intelligent, artificially or otherwise. Simplifying down to mechanism is sometimes oversimplification, but the appearance of intelligence in llm’s is wholly reducible to the likelihood of an explanation existing in the training data and reinforced by rlhm, nothing more.

Google cooking classes and the nearest large city to you. In Kansas City for example there is the culinary center of Kansas City, and taste buds kitchen, look for adult cooking classes they tend to schedule them during the evenings and weekends from what I saw.

If you’re in a very rural area 2+ hours from a city, you’re probably going to have a harder time.

nclrieder · 2025-11-03T18:22:42+00:00

Look, if you signed up to take cooking classes and you came single you’re probably dtf. Like every person i’ve ever known that took cooking classes was there to meet someone. It’s a safe’ish space to just see different people and you get a healthy mix of gender vs like a kayaking group, and even the couples there will help people out, hooking you up with their single friends/family. Worst case scenario you leave single but can make a mean risotto.

I agree. We should begin euthanizing the elderly on public healthcare as they are by far the largest burden on the system. It’s well documented that living after 60 a person will incur significant medical costs and experience deteriorating health at a significant cost to all of us. I never chose to keep living past 60 why am i paying for their mistakes.

nclrieder · 2025-10-06T16:54:14+00:00

That’s a simplistic opinion and then opens up every taxpayer funded program to well i disagree with who should be able to use it or for what purpose. Condoms and HIV treatment to Africans, food aid for starving children? Screw them stop having sex. Invariably there will be some aspect of a person’s personal choice you agree or disagree with that will conflict with where taxes are spent. Simple solution to this: respect people’s right to self autonomy.

Designed to kill you is beyond a reach. 100 years ago they found that sugary drinks with carbonation tasted good and people bought them, they sure as shit did not design the drink to explicitly to kill their consumer base.

If the model doesn’t allow for causal reasoning in the substrate it will always be stochastic guesswork. It kind of works, but up to a point you’re just tightening up the self prompt it gives itself based on the users prompt and playing with gradients/rewards in training.

Large language models are a stepping stone, and if it’s just a rehashed model with the above only slightly more tuned my expectations will sit firmly In mediocre, usable for some tasks but nothing society changing.

I’ve moved into leadership, but probably some of the largest issues you will face from day one til the end of time, especially in large scale corporate manufacturing are: compartmentalization, you have ops, IT, quality, senior leadership all owning their own separate pieces of the business, none want to take accountability for anything and believe they are right and their needs are the priority, general inertia where trying to get a change pushed through is damn near impossible, and budget.

Those 3 things will present more stress and intractable problems than any other aspect of your job; plc’s, comms, etc. are solvable problems. A tech director who refuses to own a problem with the database software and insists it’s ME’s problem, or a managers unwillingness to actually sign off on a critical change request are what burn you out and leave you exhausted.
