Been bringing the server up and down a lot lately to do various things to improve performance, but man has it ever been paying off. I know it's monday night so there isn't a lot going on with federation, but still... That's an absurd load number!

One thing I noticed with friendica is that it takes forever to do federation since it's doing it all with php on a cron job (as I recall, I could be wrong since it's been a couple years), whereas other platforms use native code to handle federation.
Not a problem if you're not federating much or you have plenty of hardware, but at the time I was using not nearly enough hardware for the job and I love federating with new instances.

Hire an exorcist after you've burned it to make sure the spirit of the thing doesn't inhabit your other clothes
Stop, you're killing me! I'm dying here!
Because you're probably right! A tailor probably took his measurements and said "Oh yes, we can definitely make this stylish suit for you!"

And I like a lot of what Peterson has had to say over the years, but that doesn't mean he's not seriously out to lunch on a lot of stuff, and it definitely doesn't mean he's not hilarious in unflattering ways at times.
I mean, look at this. This guy not only woke up in the morning and said "I want the Canadian Tuxedo with the khaki highlights and the baby blue tennis shoes", but presumably at some point he actually went to a suit store and walked up to the register with this in his hand and said "Yes, I want to buy this one".
Clearly, this is not the sole voice you should be taking advice from on how to live your daily life. You're gonna get led astray.

It's just so damn sad, man.... Imagine, you get home and your chalupa isn't there. You went out and you ordered it and you paid for it, but it just isn't there. This is what the postmodernists don't get: The world exists, and it can hurt you, by denying you a chalupa.
Aww, the jordan peterson deepfake voice generator is gone.

To be defined solely by your enemies is to let your enemies control you.
It's tough to stay true to yourself, but it's the only way to live. Someday the war ends, and if you're defined by the enemy then what happens once the enemy has lost?

"Monday's provisional figure, which marked a reverse from a 26 billion franc profit in 2021, was far bigger than the previous record loss of 23 billion francs chalked up in 2015. It is equivalent to slightly more than the annual GDP of Morocco."
I think it's a central bank, so it won't go out of business. It'll just turn to the government and say "gibs plz"... I mean, I imagine that's how they'd ask since they're swiss and that's how swiss people talk.

Aint nobody gonna put their kids through an ivy league college on telling your fat kids to go for a walk!
OTOH if you just go to canada and use our newest procedure, college won't be a problem anymore 🤔

Imagine if any of the gun owners had brought their guns! We sure are lucky that right wing authoritarians are catastrophically stupid and came with the intent to violently overthrow the government but didn't bring the one thing that might have let them do so.
Yeah, sort of like something like stackoverflow, it's a tool you can use if you know how to make use of it.
Definitely seems like it could reduce the cost of development, but at the cost of the number of software developers hired for different projects.
Of course, there's also the concern I have that an overreliance on AI could lead to a mass stagnation, since the AI doesn't actually create anything unique or insightful, it relies on previous work exclusively so if we have fewer humans driving the state of the art forward it might just find a spot and stay there...
