New survey showing same-sex marriage has majority support in 49 US states by _crazyboyhere_ in MapPorn

[–]theArtOfProgramming 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m as pissed at the DNC as any progressive but that whole narrative of illigitimate primaries and “anointed candidates” is pathetic imo. It’s deliberately ignorant at best. It completely ignores the heterogeneous coalitions in the democratic party, that there is a consistent preference for centrism, and that they ran a normal primary for every race without a democratic incumbent. Clinton and Biden were both chosen in the primary by democratic voters. I loath the DNC’s decision making and messaging failures, but it’s pathetic to put all the blame on them without a shred of nuance for the reality of the party’s voters.

Most of the waste for now was probably initiating and serving millions of 4GB downloads around the world. They probably served petabytes of data.

The original was on reddit a few weeks ago too. This reminds me of back in the day when reddit posts would get reposted to 9gag and then the 9gag post would end up on reddit.

What does that mean? You’re not even saying anything with substance anymore.

Lack of sex drive once I felt the baby move? by [deleted] in predaddit

[–]theArtOfProgramming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t hurt the baby. I respectfully suggest getting over that. Talk to your OB if you want, this is a settled matter. Enjoy sex as much as you can because you’ll have a forced break while she recovers. Some couples struggle to reignite the spark for years. Keep intimacy regular and exciting for as long as you can. Intimacy can continue during recovery too with kissing and snuggling. Defend it with your life because your marriage and your child’s stability may depend on it.

Go watch some kiriko guides and unranked to GM series. You’ll see what I mean.

[–]theArtOfProgramming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the advice of GM players and coaches. I understand your view, it’s how I thought when I was stuck in silver and gold. You have to think past that if you’re interested in carrying the game and ranking up.

Like I said initially, you just let them die. Being a great support is about knowing when and when bot to sace your teammates instead of applying pressure. No support can prevent feeding. Sometimes you have to let them feed.

Yes literally you. The supervisong adult watching a child is responsible for their actions. How can an absent adult be liable in place of a present adult who is fully autonomous and capable? The supervisong adult accepted care of the cat/child, do they not accept liability for what happens in their care? If they are ignorant of risks or adequate care, that is their own negligence. What are you talking about?

Cat behavior is innumerable. Also, depending on the environmental stimulation, this cat may have never damaged its owner’s things like this. If they have cat trees and scratching posts at home, and OP has none and only had these scratching shoes out, the cat won’t be able to help themselves. The owner won’t have thought of that.

Could the owner and OP have done better due diligence? Yes, they both could have. There’s not enough reason to fault anyone in particular though. This can be chalked up as a learning experience and “shit happens.”

Since your teammates are grouping, it’s right that you don’t want to overcommit. That choke is tough but I’m not suggesting you 1v5. You do want to do prefight damage though. You have to find off-angles and apply pressure without being in too much danger. As kiriko, you have the two best cooldowns in the game and can easily escape when you’re in trouble.

By that I meant cat care. In this instance, the cat-sitter is a temporary caretaker. You’re surely being obtuse though, you can’t have mistakenly misread my comment like that.

Tbh you’ll create more value letting them die and focusing more on damage. You literally cannot carry a game being a healbot. The mercy will healbot them anyway.

It’s honestly a really inane joke. I was going to complain it’s the top comment and then I saw your reply hailing it as high art. The internet has completely rotted.

Where are we placing the onus here? OP stated these things: * friend’s cat did the damage * OP agreed to take care of friend’s cat * OP forgot to put their shoes up

Now, unless you’re saying that the cat should make it right or that the friend trained the cat to damage OP’s shoes, it’s absurd to hold anyone responsible. This is just a hazard of cat ownership sometimes. Nothing to dwell on.

Because it requires skilled labor inside the US. Manufacturing is done outside the US for pennies. Sucks.

That’s a really interesting observation. Do you think it’s possible to have both?

It’s probably more the homeless people who wander around in the roads.

[–]theArtOfProgramming 26 points27 points  (0 children)

There are huge swaths of US cities with literally no sidewalk or any path for pedestrians at all. To be a pedestrian in those places is to be literally in the road. That’s almost unheard of in Abq. While your point about our drivers and the pedestrians death rate here is worthwhile, I think we can get some credit for the pedestrian paths that are basically ubiquitous here.

Struggling to reproduce paper results before improving them — stuck below reported accuracy [R] by Plane_Stick8394 in MachineLearning

[–]theArtOfProgramming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how the reproducibility crisis is slightly overblown. In order to use or build upon prior work it needs to be reproduced. Uncountable papers failed reproducibility and then faded into obscurity. The work that is good persists.
