Humans have emotions, yes, but it is not why we succeeded. ALL animals have emotions. If we blame our success on our emotions, then every animal should be as successful as we are. which they aren't. Humans are the Wise Man for a reason. Our primary adaptions that allowed is to survive over other animals is our intelligence and broad diet. might not be as romantic as our emotions think it should be, but that's what the evidence says.

I've been using AI to make a free weather app that isn't cancer. i would never in a million years charge for it. it is a work i am creating for the public using publicly sourced knowledge. the fact it's taken 5 months and hundreds of my own personal hours to produce these projects doesn't negate the fact ALL OF THE CODE has been generated via sources i didn't ask for permission from, indirectly.

I'd have to be some kind of asshole to charge for my programs. I feel bad enough including a donation link buried deep in the UI. (I'm neurodivergent and receiving money makes me feel like dog shit and guilty so really I'm being selfish i guess)

let me flip the question:

if you KNEW the child you were going to conceive had the same chance of the same condition, would you still have sex?

if you'd skip it, then i see no issues with an abortion.

we don't have foresight, but we do have hindsight. how we use it is important. nobody gets asked if they want to be alive. how dare anyone bring someone into a life of pain without their consent? part 2: if you don't take responsibility for your own disasters, you are the disaster.

so who would you run? another biden? everyone is criticizing anything that any liberal does like it's a bad idea by default, with complete lack of any useful advice or suggestions. are you too young to remember the rhetoric trump got before 2016? because they said nearly exactly the same bullet points you just rattled off about him, bud. he was gunna be a flop, not a serious candidate, voters want someone blah blah blah. THEN HE WON AND EVERYONE SCRAMBLED TO BACK PEDDLE THEIR POSITIONS CUZ HINDSIGHT IS 20/20. And you know what you and other people trying to keep GREAT humans down with GREAT ideas don't have? any actual foresight. you're just wet blankets who think they're smart. so take my downvote and suggestion to stfu.

No because it is old software running on new hardware. Modern Windows comes with a ton if code so "old stuff" still works, it even favors bundling runtime cold for OLD frameworks rather than new in the installation. That's why you need to install modern. NET 10 etc after a new windows installation when installing new softeare, yet it runs old software out of the box. Companies aren't running dinosaur code on old computers, they're running dinosaur code on modern computers.

If i remember right, Microsoft said they're dropping support for a lot of the old .NET stuff at least, so we'll see if it happens and if companies get mad or update themselves finally

genuinely shocked the movie i was gunna comment already here at the top. i am so tired of zombies, and pontypool is the movie i point to whenever i tell people they don't always all have to be the same

you're actually only partially correct. alcohol is a stimulant when your BAC is increasing (like it does when you're actively drinking). it only becomes a depressant when your BAC is decreasing. pretty interesting and strange, and definitely something you don't wanna mix with medical stimulants!

cheaper refrigeration would DEFINITELY help this problem. the big issue with food waste is food spoils so quickly (especially produce and meat), so it makes more sense to toss it than try to find a big enough space that's REFRIGERATED because the food is usually free, no one wants to spend thousands preserving it. cheaper refrigeration would absolutely improve this scenario.
