I simply do not care about anything AI now. I have a severe revulsion to it. I miss the before times.

Exactly. We must turn the LORD and not these demons.


Sadly, "the LORD" has never done much for me, but diving into the occult has at least been fun!


Some folks think that the Creator is actually a usurper from the real divinity, and that therefore all of creation is inherently evil.


Gnosticism is also fun!


Which/Whose Lord?


Lord is a word used to describe a personal relationship , like “save me my Lord” and “Ask your Lord”. Even when the Lord is being referred to the same God.

The Lord the commenter here is referring to as the ultimate Lord who has no Lord or power above him and who is beholden to no one.

In occult, the idea is to substitute your Lord from the ultimate power to the lower orders. Going back to the comment, he means to say don’t substitute your Lord for someone smaller.


End DST!


Calories in, calories out: the pareto-optimized answer to weight loss


Cool article. I read the title as 'Death Maps' at first though.


Me too! I wanted a world map of where iphone 15 users died :(


That could be approximated pretty well just combining income data and age data.


Or by drawing a red circle around the United States labelled "~95%"


There's a country called China with a lot more people than the US.


And when exactly was the last time you checked Apple's market share in that jurisdiction?


TV, video games, rock and roll music, nor dungeon and dragons were specifically designed for compulsory use, reduced the users' ability to focus, or exposed them to the kind (or sheer quantity) of harmful material that TikTok does.

You could get reprieve.

With TikTok on mobile, it's ubiquitous.


Well, TV might have been. But then TV was pretty bad for us.


TV, video games and rock and roll music is just as ubiquitous as TikTok. All of these things are on the same mobile device. They are also designed for compulsory use and can expose them to harmful material as well. Nobody writes a song you only want to listen to once or a game you only play for 10 minutes then never again.

This type of hyper fixation on TikTok is pop science and self soothing. It springs from the generational anxiety that the kids are not okay and something must be wrong with them. TikTok can be that boogey man for boomers, gen x and millennials. Same as older generations felt about TV, video games, rock and roll music, and D&D.
