So,

1. OP is asking why month before day rather than day before month
2. In your example, it's not clear whether you are doing Y-M-D or Y-D-M, but I assume you are putting month before day, so we agree on that part. But
3. I think we're all in favor of: Most significant on the left -> Least significant on the right. I'm just arguing that, most if the time, for the most common uses, Month is most significant. It's just more common that you're looking at a list of dates that all span the next few months than a list of dates that are all within this month, or beyond a year.

regardless of the month, I think what matters first is to know what day of the month you are in

You're telling me that if you have a list of scheduled dates in the near future to meet with clients/patients/whatever, you first want them sorted by day, and then month?

So this list is the order you want to see these in?

• 4/5/25
• 8/7/25
• 15/6/25
• 16/5/25
• 23/6/25

Doesn't it make way more sense to see them sorted by month first, then day, so that they're actually in chronological order.

• 5/4/25
• 5/16/25
• 6/15/25
• 6/23/25
• 7/8/25

The only way you could defend the former listing is if you're also arguing that it makes sense to sort the list by the middle column, and hopefully we all agree that is just absurd. We don't alphabetize people by their middle names. You don't look up a word in the dictionary starting with the letter in the middle.

I jest, but I think this illustrates a real-life, commonplace example of when it makes sense. I agree that MM/DD/YYYY is not in order of magnitude, but I do believe it's in order of most significance to least significance given the timescales we are typically dealing with.

It's not pseudo-slavery, it's actual 100% legal slavery according to the words of the 13th Amendment of the US constitution.

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States

To be clear, I'm not calling you brain dead, I'm calling denouncing protesting as a waste of effort brain dead. If you disagree...ya know, have the country you wanted.

Afaik this is basically what the NSA's Prism is.

I know that you know that I'm right, and neither of us actually expect the slacktivist circle jerk to stop. Just please don't ever use that, "let me know when holding up signs works" line again, that shit is brain dead and is how we got here to begin with.

Not. Their. Job.

Your. Job.

Their job is to work within the set of laws we have set up for them. Their job is not to protest, rebel, engage in civil disobedience, etc.; that's our job. I'm tired of this sentiment that, by being an elected public official in a democratic system, we should also expect them to be martyrs for that system. That is a form of slacktivism. Cut it out. Go protest.

Surprised no one has mentioned OBS. I don't use it for streaming, but afaik it's one of the more popular options for that. So it's really cool that not only is it available for linux, but it's open source and works great. I'm sure every linux user has had audio, general hardware, or GPU acceleration issues at some point, but OBS is seamless in my experience. Pretty cool to see a piece of software live at the crossroads of all that and get it right.

I don't know why people use dishwashers. It's in the kitchen. A lawn mower is a no brainer, yet people still use dishwashers??

"The military’s job is to dominate any foe and annihilate any threat to America — ANYWHERE, ANY TIME, and ANY PLACE."

...you heard the man.

It follows an executive order from Trump on January 27, in which he described a missile attack as the “most catastrophic threat facing the United States."

I can think of a worse one

It is depressing to me how many people are so effectively fooled by what can best be described as a glorified parlor trick. It's not intelligence, it's a probable output to a novel input. The hype around LLMs is like watching a magician pull a rabbit out of his hat, and trying to hire him to help you start a rabbit farm. That's not what's happening, and you should know better.

LLMs aren't worthless, they're great for language manipulation, because that's what they are. But just because a string of characters makes a valid sentence in a language, that doesn't mean the sentence is valid in the real world.

It's math principle. But it assumes the massively oversimplified scenario that you're pairing up groups A and B in basically one go. This is nowhere near reflective of reality.

As for your description.....how do I put this delicately....I think you're overthinking it. I wish you well, bud, I really do.

Mint is Debian based. Mullvad supports debian.

Hah I've never heard the Pigeon Hole Principle applied to infidelity. Pecker Hole Principle?

I don't think you're picking up what I'm putting down. The troubled teen industry is notorious for child abuse, and Utah has a history of allowing it. These schools are disgustingly profitable, they pay off politicians and police to look the other way, and if by some chance they do get shut down, the kids get transferred to another abusive school and none of the scumbags running the place get arrested, so they just go start another one. It's an epidemic that the media has only scratched the surface of.

This reminds me of an old site I used to frequent called YouThink. It's dead now, but way-back-machine has some snapshots of how it looked.

Basically you'd do exactly what you're saying: you have an account, you submit interesting/fun/silly binary questions, and then you sit there and answer others' questions for hours. T'was a simpler time...
