I will say this - I suck at coding. I've spent years taking courses, learning basics over and over, only to be novice level at best. I can read code and KIND OF understand what it is doing, but writing it? Absolute dogshit.

LLMs have not raised my skill level in coding from a 15/100 to anything higher. It has, however, made it easier to generate code I want, can review, and use. It writes it at maybe 40/100, which is better than me. That's the only thing it's good at.

AMD has great Linux support.

I haven't given them anything and have been using desktop for almost 3 years now. I run Ubuntu server at work without any issues either. I signed up for pro for free on my home desktop and didnt have to pay anything.

Where do they attempt to get money from me? Asking because I'm legitimately not sure.

This TED talk discusses basically that topic

Also if you think you are alone in having problems with pornography, Terry Crews admitted it almost destroyed his marriage

I struggled with it for years and finally was able to quit watching it. I think porn is fine for most people and masterbation is normal, but I personally had problems controlling myself. I still wank it, but do so to my own imagination.

I'm curious if you've seen this TED talk and what you think of it. It's an interesting argument that while our brains can handle porn, excessive use can cause behavioral changes such as preferring porn over a real partner.

I agree with you on this. Let it handle things you don't care about and massage the output if necessary. Anything I do care about, I code myself, but will ask for help if I get stuck on something. I'm a novice programmer at best, 18/100 skill score.

Many people don't understand that porn is a super stimuli and our brains can be rewired to prefer it over normal sex. They will also argue it is propaganda to suggest such a thing - primarily because of the stigma around sex in a puritan society like ours.

I'm no saint here and don't have an easy button for you. All I can suggest is go as long as you can without porn, then masturbate to your imagination. The longest streak I've managed to avoid porn did this. It may not work for you, but its worth a try.

I realized I had similar issues you mentioned and found online communities that don't discriminate like rebootnation. Another good reminder that this can happen to anyone is the YouTube series by Terry fucking Crews: dirty little secret. If he had a problem with porn, anyone can.

Probably for statistical curiosity about ratios of different types of beans in the packet. Maybe you're being shafted on expensive beans?

A lot of speculation on your part without any evidence to the contrary. If you want to engage in good faith dialogue, be prepared with sources and not personal opinions.

Also your username in itself is a reference to white nationalism, so...

With California leading the charge to counter gerrymandering, should we in Washington state join in as well?

Would our governor even entertain such an idea?
