I sometimes use ChatGPT when I'm stuck troubleshooting an issue. I had to do exactly this because it became extremely annoying when I corrected it for giving me incorrect information and it would still be "sucking up" to me with "Nice catch!" and "You're absolutely right!". The fact that an average person doesn't find that creepy, unflattering and/or annoying is the real scary part.

It's called "social stomach".

Thanks for reminding me about this gem.

This is maybe pedantic, but you don't really build tolerance. You just build a flora that handles the lactose for you, i.e. bacteria.

It's a cult — plain and simple. As someone looking from the outside, it's bizarre so many people make the political party they vote for their entire personality. With merch and everything. I can't wrap my head around it.

Eh, really depends. Some immigrants keep supporting right-wing and authoritarian leaders in their home countries, regardless of where they're from. There are many immigrant Russians who don't support Putin, but there are some who do. Just like there are MAGA Latinos. Same as many Balkan people who move to Austria, Germany, etc. who still support right-wing leaders whose economy- and people-ruinning policies forced them to move for work in the first place.

People are dumb, tribalistic animals.

Ford Kuga. The word kuga means plague in my language, and—according to Wikipedia—as a result the model has had lower sales in the region.

Not wanting to financially contribute to a country that's invaded and has been performing genocide on its neighbor, and has been actively waging hybrid wars on European and US democracies is not virtue signaling.

Also, this.

I just discussed this with a coworker. I haven't been in the modding community for years, but I was shocked to see XDA pretty much dead when I visited it couple weeks ago. I miss the days I couldn't decide which ROM and kernel to use because the choice was so big.
