This Is Not a Bowl of Sexy Fruit

If their spam filter is “learning,” and if new signup verification emails are a consistent decades-old practice, how much longer should we wait before it’s okay to question whether Google’s filter could do better at learning?

Yea that wasn’t meant to downplay the skill required to hang. But relatively speaking, defending with a goal to clinch up takes a ton less effort and risk than pursuing an offensive striking game.

Looking from the other direction, it is incredibly difficult to actually knock someone out who is only defending and waiting to get close to you.

Yea judoka had no striking game and boxer had no wrestling game. Under these conditions the grappler could just wait out the striker until catching a grapple, then win. This is why the Gracie family pushed UFC in the 90s, because karate-and-boxing-obsessed US audiences were constantly surprised by these matches, and it led to more people signing up for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!

You seem eager to pose this “if the product was undamaged” as if you can quantify what might have happened differently, but then in a comment below you ask someone else to prove that maintainers left.

It might shock you to learn that products are developed by people. Actual people stay or leave and work wildly differently based on things like respect, expectations, and being in a hostile environment.

Want proof of that? Go work on an actual project with a team sometime.

edit - And this isn’t even accounting for the ways toxic communication impedes wider adoption of a product

I mean the super rich generally did a lot of things on their way there. The wake up call is usually around the things they do and people they exploit, not equating the difference to dumb luck.

Hoo-wee you’re gonna be extra disappointed about that particular demographic then

Boy are you gonna be disappointed to learn who’s on the internet then

Perhaps because it’s not

The same way we confuse earnestness with trash clickbait tactics I guess

That’s wonderful for you, but it does happen.

Same problem. No other ways to verify, just my FULLY CORRECT PASSWORD, so Google has decided I’ll never get to access my old account again.

I posted about it on the Google forum and was told by a self important community person that it is my fault for not logging back into that account to set up backups.

Happy to switch off Gmail now, but it won’t get my old emails with bygone friends and family back.

My fault for expecting my password to get me into my account. Fuck Google man.

I made one that said START once

It’s not

Nametag that says “GitHub CoPilot” and if anyone asks you to “help them with their code” answer like you’re Clippy from MS Word

Not dumb, just selfish, contemptuous of their users, and willing to destroy anything they have legal rights to for a cash grab.

The point being discussed is the false idea that alcohol creates relaxation for someone who lacks a setting to be able to relax without it

It just doesn’t work that way. Top level comment is spitting truth

Someone doesn’t need to know you to know how self-medicating anxiety (what you’re describing) with alcohol fucks people up long term

They did manage to be a dick about it, but yea the more someone feels like they can’t stop those thoughts, the deeper the need is for something sustainable (a practice, a hobby, a life change, a med, etc.) that can help them do that

Even at its best, if someone sidesteps all the side effects of alcohol, it still just delays someone from learning how to master those thought patterns in themselves

You could just stop being wrong 💅

I noticed that, but in this case the original meme pic was poorly conveyed
