What a shitty excuse. It’s probably kids who fly those things and their parents don’t even know because nobody has the spine to go tell them. Then you come here plotting your petty revenge for a situation that could be easily handled by talking.

Unspoken expectations are premeditated resentments.

Have you tried asking them to stop?

However, I highly doubt it’s actually legal to fly on private property and it sure as hell isn’t legal to film inside of people’s homes which is a violation of domestic privacy. Also, in Finland the property owner also owns the airspace above up to 150 meters and drone are only allowed to go up to 120 meters so there is no circumstance in which you’re allowed to fly on private property without permission.

If I remember correctly, this patient outlived the doctor.

I’m a member on a subscription-based platform with 24k paying users who go out of their way to be decent towards you even in disagreement. It’s like a room full of adults. And no, I’m not going to publicly disclose what platform I’m talking about exactly - sorry.

There are certain keywords that, when present in the title, reliably produce a comment section that will give you brain damage by just attempting to read through it. My list of content filters is hundreds of items long. It automatically hides about 2/3 of the posts on any news community and of the remaining ones I then manually hide multiple more. This includes even things I’m genuinely into but have learned not to even try to engage with here - I go elsewhere for difficult conversations.

Life is a sandbox game but too many people are thinking that there’s a storyline you’re supposed to follow but you’re not - you can live it the way you like.

We compare our insides to other people’s outsides and wonder why we’re not happy despite following the same script. Well, I don’t think the people you’re modeling your life after are happy either so you’re getting exactly what they’re getting as well - you just were expecting something else.

Be weird, be eccentric, do what other people aren’t doing, embarrass yourself, be honest and vulnerable, trust your intuition, don’t follow the norms, say what feels scary, disregard reputation management and so on. These are among the things I consider intentional living to entail.

You can have anything you want - you just can’t have everything you want.

Starlink satellites are at 550km and without boosting they fall back to earth in 2 to 5 years. New ones are being put at 480km where the orbit of a dead satellite decays only in few months. The oldest ones are already falling back to earth and burning up in the atmosphere.

It’s luck all the way down. Nobody is ultimately responsible for everything they have (or haven’t) achieved in life.

They didn’t choose the place they were born in, they didn’t choose the parents they were born to, they didn’t choose their genetics and if you believe in such a thing, they didn’t choose their soul either. They didn’t choose to be healthy, they didn’t choose to be able-bodied, they didn’t choose to be driven, intelligent, lazy, anxious, charismatic or any of the other traits that end up shaping what they do with their life.

Everything that follows from that point is just the unfolding of those starting conditions plus whatever random events and influences came afterwards. There is no separate “you” standing outside of all that and freely deciding how to play the hand. The feeling of choosing is real as an experience, but the choice itself is the product of prior causes.

We do things for two reasons: either we want to or we have to. There is no third option. And we don’t get to pick what we want either.

Let’s do one of the two extremes because everything is binary.

It has to be something that permanently changes the way I view them to an extent that I find intolerable. Some acts, while bad, might not always be that surprising considering who they’re coming from. Then the question is rather to myself as to why they are my friend in the first place and whether the trade-off is worth it.

I was about to come tell that their teeth are orange because of the iron in them!

The workers at the jobsite are going to have an issue when they’ve showed up to pour a slab and your cement order arrives.

It’s like expecting dough and receiving a bag of flour.

That someone is mad at me and I don’t even know I’ve wronged them.

Taste and convenience. Not much more to it.

I keep eating meat even though I can’t morally defend how that meat is produced. And I’m not planning to stop either.

An example from my field of expertise: Mixing different kinds of metals in wet environments causes the less noble one to corrode.

Some people’s ability to politicize just about everything is astounding.

That’s unfair. I can’t fight off both at the same time.

I thought that saying non-critical things of Israel was controversial untill I said non-critical things of AI generated music.

I have no idea what you’re even talking about. Neither of these people is an AI researcher and neither is making the claims you’re here arguing against.
