I think he genuinely believed it was the best thing for society. He, like so many, was (and likely still is) convinced that everyone thinks like he does. So he believes the only thing that drives people is money.
Now if that were the case, the only way to advance society and facilitate growth in software would be to offer smart people a lot of money.
In that flawed logic, he really thought it was for the best.
If you live in a densely packed city. You’re absolutely right

You’ve raised a valid and important point. The purpose of a forum is human connection and discussion. Outsourcing that interaction to an AI, especially when no factual answer is found, can feel dismissive and undermines the community’s value. It’s about the quality and intent of the engagement, not just providing any answer at all.

If I’m not mistaken, you specifically showed an interest in better understanding this.
A dog’s power output comes from its muscle mass, which for a healthy dog is about 45% of its total body weight. This gives our 28-pound dog roughly 12.57 lbs (or 5.7 kg) of muscle.
Studies of animal muscle show that the peak power output of vertebrate muscle tissue during a short, explosive burst (like a jump or the start of a sprint) is around 100 to 200 watts per kilogram of muscle.
Now we can estimate the dog’s peak power:
Converting these figures to horsepower (1 horsepower = 746 watts):
So, a small 28-pound dog might be able to generate a peak power of around 0.75 to 1.5 horsepower for a very brief moment.
So this YASA motor is somewhere between 670 and 1,340 times more powerful than the dog it’s being compared to in weight. That’s some jaw-dropping power output.
I get it. I guess you’ve never been to the Y. Today, the YMCA’s global network recognizes its Christian heritage, but pretty much every national and local branch is secular or interfaith in operation.
It’s so non religious now that you can easily find evidence with a quick search…
Nothing religious about the Y anymore. For many years
You mean like the YMCA?
Looks like you need a blog. You could post your own articles.
If it has seeds with barbs that stick to clothing or animal fur then it’s almost certainly a “Bidens pilosa,” aka blackjack, Spanish needle, or beggarticks.
Oh shit. I just checked and I see “session settings” which seems like it actually might work for this. I’m gonna have to try this out!
Nope. The buttons in the phone app still work. Which means the kid can still mute or hold or hangup the call. Which is the problem here.
You don’t necessarily need to apologize to take ownership of your impact.
When you acknowledge how your words and actions affect someone (regardless of intent) you make that relationship safer, more responsive, and more connected.
Ownership is acknowledging the effects of your behavior, not absorbing all blame or excusing harmful behavior from either party.
It sounds like “When I did X, the impact on you was Y…here’s what I’ll do differently,” which lowers defensiveness and invites collaboration on solutions.
I guess you’re not from southern Europe. Many (if not most) walls here are also decorated with cocks. Typically using the modern artistic medium of spray paint.
Al-Andalus was the original, Muslim name of Andalusia.

We are deeply shaped by our upbringing, but not permanently imprisoned by it. The past explains us, but it does not define what we do next.
There’s a great book that goes into detail on this called ‘The Courage to be Disliked’. I highly recommend it.
In my opinion (and the position of Adlerian psychology) is that no experience (however painful) is in itself the cause of our current unhappiness. What constrains us is the meaning and goals we attach to those experiences. When someone says “I am this way because of my childhood,” the book would argue that this is often a story chosen to justify a present goal (for example, avoiding risk, intimacy, or responsibility), not an iron law imposed by the past.
Freedom begins when we separate “what happened to me” from “what I am choosing to pursue now,” and take responsibility for our own life tasks instead of living to meet others’ expectations. That is the “courage to be disliked”: accepting that if you start living according to self-chosen values rather than your upbringing’s scripts, some people may disapprove. Yet that is the price of genuine adulthood.
