That's a classic ADHD response to caffeine. Generally people with ADHD will still get the jitters and increased heart rate, but they will not get the energy-boosting effect, and sometimes even get sleepy. It being a stimulant, it can also have a (slight) benefit to your ability to focus.
No trust me bro, the government deciding on romantic partners and matches is totally not something ripped straight from a mid-tier dystopian novel.

Generally it's fine, but right now, with my laptop, I'm having to use run an older kernel version because the Nvidia drivers haven't been updated in the Ubuntu repositories. Installing drivers for Nvidia isn't hard, but it is something you have to elect to do, and it is something that can break. Meanwhile, with AMD GPUs, it generally 'just works'.
IMO, given two laptops of equal value, I would pick the AMD, but I wouldn't pick a worse laptop in order to have an AMD card.
I found it interesting that education is increasingly shifting from simply asking “Who wrote this?” to asking “Does the student understand this?”
I don't think this framing is quite accurate. Before AI, the final paper's quality was the metric for "did the student understand this". With AI tools, that metric disappeared, and educators are now looking for a replacement heuristic.
Hey Claude, why are my agents faster on Linux? Oh I/O? That makes sense!
I'm really glad this isn't just the image, that it includes a guy telling us it's funny. I'm not sure I could've worked that out myself.
I think you're running into a conflict of definitions. Usually that's what these sorts of disagreements boil down to. In order to answer whether Russia counts as "imperialist", you first have to know what counts as "imperialism".
the policy, practice, or advocacy of extending the power and dominion of a nation especially by direct territorial acquisitions or by gaining indirect control over the political or economic life of other areas
By this definition, it's difficult to say Russia is doing capital "I" imperialism, since they're not occupying and controlling a majority of Ukraine. If you count any amount of land occupied, then they are.
When you're talking to tankies, you also have to realise that Imperialism is a jargon term with a specific definition. That's explained by Lenin here, if you're interested.
Oh yeah, you're right, there is a swear in it! I do still feel it's extremely tame for being an "angry" voice though. For comparison, this is what a human sounds like when ranting about a topic they care about.
What really seals it is the 'angry' version, which is just the same message again but with different formatting. No human would label that as "the angry version" without the inclusion of at least one "fucking".
Yes, but this shit is wrong. Imagine if I went to a shit restaurant, and I ordered shit, and instead they served me chocolate mouse. I think I would be quite rightly upset about this.
You're taking this way too seriously, I think. Just because I disliked one particular video on the topic doesn't mean I instantly hate the whole premise of good infrastructure. I didn't express any pro-car opinions, I just talked about my personal experience with the content posted here (the video), and how I engaged with it.
If you must know, I'm quite fond of trains, they are by far my favourite mode of transport. I also like walkable streets. I was born in the Netherlands and so do not share the same propagandised pro-car base that others have. I have afterwards moved to a much more car-dependant country and hated it. I'm part of a local bicycle advocacy group and take direct political action to try and improve my surroundings.
Just because someone expresses an opinion you agree with doesn't mean it's automatically perfect and amazing. It can have flaws. This particular video has a flaw, which is that it's boring for the first 10 minutes. That's quite a long time. And judging from the upvote ratio on my first post, I wasn't the only one who felt this way. But even if I was, who cares? I'm allowed to dislike a single video, and your conclusion that I must therefore hate everything this community is about is absurd.
Lastly, so what if I was car-brained? I'm clearly here, engaging with anti-car content with good will. This piece did not land with me, but perhaps another would? If I were car-brained, I would be here open for conversion, and yet you come here being, quite frankly, aggressive and hostile. That's not helping anyone. I'd understand it if I was making bad-faith arguments and shitting on the video, but that doesn't really apply. You could've said "Oh sorry friend, have you tried other channels on the topic like 'Not Just Bikes' or 'RMTransit'"? That is much more likely to have a positive effect on someone if they were carbrained.
