New appliances make me genuinely tremble. I haven't bought a TV in a decade or two, but I might need to buy one soon and the "options available" right now sound nightmarish, similar to your car situation.

I... think I agree with that though.

I'm not saying there isn't a grey area between being socially conscious or full blow libertarian, but I do think that a search engine operates much better when it is unrestricted by societal qualms.

Look how stunted ChatGPT becomes with each new rendition, or how SDXL is far more restrictive in what it can express compared to its earlier SD1.5 models.

tetris11 OP , 4 months ago to Asklemmy in If you could split yourself into a copy of yourself, how many copies would you make to satisfy all your wishes?

that's what they believed too

That was brilliant

I agree, but then how are you not the same as the Jan 6 rioters?

Burdening your bad parts onto a version of yourself won't accomplish much if your memories sync regularly. I think you might need to defeat your demons another way
