Both, but it also depends on if I’m winning the argument or they are.

I think the current online alpha male culture is a marketing tool meant to validate the antisocial beliefs of potential customers in order to convert them into paying customers.

Or a different definition of “problem”.

Obviously it is god’s fault for creating this flawed universe in which I don’t win every single game I play.

Also you’re not supposed to concern yourself with the speck in your brother’s eye, but the plank in your own.

Things won’t make people happy for forever, happiness comes from within. People with financial resources can afford to spend a lot of time running from that truth.

You’re a kid now, you’re squid now.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Trump really doesn’t understand markets…

Bullshit.

And the fact that she comes back after the vet indicates that she’s willing to make that trade off.

I think the closest thing we have to a “right tool” is your brain. If you’re looking for a product your first thought shouldn’t be “let me ask Chat GPT” it should be something like“let me ask someone who sells or is familiar with this product.”

Tools like search engines can be useful for finding the right people to talk to.

I think people like interacting with a computers instead of people because it’s “more convenient.” Many computer systems smooth over the friction that we experience in the real world.

One of the common topics for internet comics these days seems to be anxiety people have about making phone calls, and I think search engines and chat bots present a similar dynamic.

Yes, maybe people don’t experience as much anxiety when using a chatbot or interactive voice recording, but ultimately those tools won’t always work and people will eventually need to work through their anxiety to accomplish what they want which involves interacting with other humans (or choose not to engage with people and become bitter and isolated.)
