Why is kindness often viewed as a sign of naïveté?
You seem to be a nice person. Don’t give up. I hope you find your people and I’d be happy to have positive people like you around me. Do you read about Buddhism and metta at all? When the whole world can show love and respect to themselves and others it will be a better place, and you seem to be there already.

They coming for reaction gifs now too?!
I understand using generations as an aid to statisticians dividing populations but using generations to generalise behaviour is weaponising age in a way that shouldn’t happen (as a test swap out a generation comment for a body type or your homophobic slang of choice)

A truly advanced civilization would have universal healthcare for pets too
Universal healthcare for animals yes. A truly advanced civilisation would find the ownership of an animal by another (a pet) abhorrent. Animals are rational beings and have their own will, therefore we have a moral duty to care for them and not exploit them or keep them captive.

Why do you hate AI?
The logic of a llm is that it creates phrases from patterns of “most likely” sequences. In some contexts this can seem right (like with predictive text on) but that hides how in technical areas AI actively drags peoples belief towards the generic most common usage which is often plain wrong. And the more AI is used, the more a body of mediocre or false information will exist, creating a devils circle of language use. People who strive for perfection or improvement will be drowned in the flood of lazy AI.

Bicycle Race

The girls who ride the bikes were all naked. In most countries they added a red bikini bottom on the artwork. I believe in the US they had to add bikini tops too. Good ol’ US. Home to the world’s porn but not able to permit a girl to be seen on TV in bed without a bra on. After all that - not Queens finest hour either of those songs.

Is possible to learn to swim, just by reading a lot about it?
I am skinny - if I am not actively swimming in fresh water I am sinking (sea is different but sea comes with waves which is an added complication). If I am tired or nervous then I have to fight with my subconscious to be calm and stay safe. So I would add mental strength to the list for a first time swimmer. And even then I’d say don’t go out of your depth.

Kobo is a solid choice. Old / simple ones have better battery life.

Strava Just Sued Garmin: Demands Garmin Stop Selling Devices
Reply in thread
I voted against Garmin with my wallet. I was nervous to leave the Garmin ecosystem but when I decided what data I actually need, it’s all there on Corus and Suunto. I’m happy not to be in the Garmin upgrade loop and Connect plus world.

E-Scooter-Fahrer ignorieren rote Ampel am häufigsten
Source ch.ch “Velos und Mofas dürfen an Ampeln bei Rot rechts abbiegen, wenn eine schwarz-gelbe Tafel das ausdrücklich erlaubt.” Das macht Sinn.

15+km/day - wearing Lems Primal Zen in Japan.
Maybe too much shoe but my old merrel trail gloves have elastic laces and slip on and off. They have been good allrounders- mesh is now breaking up.

Best ebook readers for piracy?
No idea about piracy …, but Kobo is definitely your go-to for any file format.
