Admittedly I don't have much life wisdom, but my strong intuition is happiness is a measure, not a target, and you shouldn't optimize for it. All this "science of happiness" talk feels, I don't know, spiritually offputting.

Now I understand, yeah, it would make sense to use the CSAM acronym only for material presenting sexual abuse of actual children.

I'd say loli hentai is actually more distilled, visually appealing, action packed and addictive version of child porn, and long term it affects consumer's perception of real-life children in a deeply satanic way, and as such deserves more stigma than it gets.

Wow, this virtue signaling thing is easy.

The whole reason CSAM is abhorrent is its evidence of abuse

This would make cartel execution videos more abhorrent?

Why would watching or possession of evidence of abuse against a person be an offense against a person? Other than potential second-order effects that may or may not occur like increase in demand for abuse?

I think it's perceived as abhorrent mostly because it's an evidence of the person watching being sexually interested in kids.

It's inherently hard to get along with people you don't share values with, and the culture war got extra vicious. But I wouldn't call the people throwing racial and sexual slurs more intolerant of the outgroup than the other side (the people deciding to get offended), if anything, they seem to have thicker skin when it comes to differences in worldview.

You don't really need sterile conditions, yeast just need a head start to outcompete other microbes. Then, as alcohol and CO₂ build up, the brew becomes bacteriostatic. Which is still different from being bactericidal.

Maybe you're looking for the mediocre job just because you think it will be a walk in the park

The worst one was talking about how it would be a relaxing position for them

What's wrong with that? Can't you compensate being lazy with being efficient?

Basic SQLi, XSS, or buffer overflow attacks are equally trivial and stem from the same underlying problem of confusing instructions with data. Sophistication and creativity arises from bypassing mitigations and chaining together multiple vulnerabilities. I think we'll see the same with prompt injections as the arms race progresses.

To me it's weird that they're willing to misuse browser APIs so blatantly for interprocess communication, when, as I understand it, server-side correlation using a combination of IP, battery level and screen dimensions probably already gets them 95% of the surveillance capability.
