My situation is similar.

My partner just treats me so poorly I’ve long since lost a romantic attachment to her.

However, we have 2 young children, and my partners employment prospects aren’t great. We can’t afford 2 houses. As in we would share custody and i would pay her whatever was required, but no matter how you slice it the same income has to pay for 2 houses instead of one.

For the time being i just have to carry on.

Yes, my kids dont see a “happy loving relationship” but they dont really see an abusive one, just a miserable one maybe.

IDK if we’re super “successful” co-parents but we are at least an effective team i think.


I don’t understand the question.

Rehabilitation has better outcomes than punishment. Amazing.


Sure but right now we’re in a Gen AI boom, not an AGI boom.


There will be a crash / correction but everyone will continue to use Gen AI to write their assignments and make youtube videos.


Sure but no one actually believes that LLMs are a step on the path to AGI.

You can keep iterating on a car as much as you like and you’ll never end up with a spaceship.


I don’t really understand your point. Which nationalities / races would be identified as an enemy if teleported into a US street ?

As individuals, Americans might be nice well meaning people just trying to get along.

As a nation, the USA is a hostile trading partner, an inept negotiator, and a heavy handed aggressor.

As an individual you don’t need to apologise, but as a nation it’s not enough to say “the driver is an ass”.


As someone who doesn’t understand the arcane and subtle inner workings of “wall street” I’m just going to ask the obvious: why TF can’t wall street people just ignore Trump’s lies like everyone else?

Or is it just because everyone is bedding down on Thursday night thinking “yeah Trump might tweet something when he’s on the shitter in the morning so better reduce my holdings and see what happens”



Its not the individual instances but the underlying project.

Its not even the maintainers fault. Its a cat and mouse game. The devs have done an epic job of keeping up, but ultimately all of these projects are unreliable.

yt-dlp is the gold standard and provides the back end for many of these projects, but its cli only.

Ive found freetube desktop app to be more reliable than invidious. Also pipepipe for Android.


Not really related to this article but I absolutely despise the penchant for the right to refuse to allow journalists they don’t like to attend press conferences.


Ok, maybe 36 months?

This cheap plastic stuff like that laundry basket gets shredded pretty quick in the sun.


Their central claim is that net zero is worsening the oil crisis, and that drilling in the North Sea is the remedy


Cassette player is late 90s

Everything else could be produced any time since then.

I don’t think this stuff has been outside in the sun for more than 18 months.


Do any of these instances ever work ?

I loved invidious for a long time but I just gave up about 6 months ago.

Even hosting your own instance it was almost always not working waiting for a new release or workaround to be pushed.



Heyyy, hold your horses there zippy.

There must be at least several years of headlines about insider trading and nepotism before we get that far.


Maybe try being a little less judgemental?

I do make coffee at home in the morning but at lunch time I buy coffee because I don’t want to go all the way home.

I also some times like to buy poncy sparkling mineral water in tiny bottles because I find it refreshing. I don’t smoke, or drink alcohol, or soda, or even juice for that matter.

If you want to judge me for that I think that says more about you than me.


The population isn’t ready for armed resistance. I doubt they ever will be.


There sure are a lot of “weird” answers in this thread.

There’s nothing necessarily wrong about co-sleeping in your teens.

Some people might say your mum didn’t “toughen you up” by forcing you to sleep in your own bed or whatever.

That’s BS IMO. Much more likely that you are just wired differently and it manifests as anxiety.


OP’s mother has some extreme anxiety and self-worth issues

Are we seriously diagnosing psychological issues of third parties now ?
