But not the way Australians use them.

So, if you have poop on your hands, would you eat with that hand after only using toilet paper to wipe it off?

Then, you can do the same with a bidet. After rinsing it with water, use soap, then rinse it again.

Well, I don’t, I just use paper towels/tissues. We don’t even have towels for hand drying in bathrooms where I’m from.

Why would you want to dry your hand using a towel that is hanging 24/7 in air filled with poop particles in the first place? A bidet being there or not doesn’t change that.

You shouldn’t be questioning him. He’s not the one making the law.

Why are you wiping your wet ass with toilet paper the same way you wipe your poop encrusted ass? Its already clean. Just dab your ass with toilet paper and you won’t leave bits of toilet paper in them.

How is leaving your ass crusted in poo less disgusting than wiping your ass after cleaning it with water? Do you not wipe your ass after a shower? If you do, that’s just another ass towel that you also use to wipe your whole body. If you don’t, that means you don’t actually care about having swampy ass in the first place.

Nah, you’re just selectively looking at evidence without nuance or understanding of what they actually show, just like people who spout statistics to call black people violent. There’s a reason analysis is required to turn data into accurate conclusions, not just looking at it at face value like you are doing. What’s funny is you’re even using the exact same argument as them when called out.

If you actually understood your own conclusion, you would actually debunk every argument I made for why I don’t think your evidence supports your conclusion. Instead, you did this and proven to me the opposite.

Man, you’re still missing the point and you wonder why I had to resort to hyperbole. Nvm, since you don’t actually seem interested with disproving his point effectively and still want to compare prices despite it being irrelevant to the actual point, there’s not much use with continuing this discussion. You’ve provided information that proved half his point about US internet is incorrect, and that’s good enough for me.

If your neighbour can also get symmetrical internet with a residential contract, then that would be the better example to prove his point wrong.

A business contract is not a good comparison because they usually are symmetrical for a premium price regardless of the quality of the residential internet in your area.

Even in my country you can get symmetrical internet with a business contract, yet I’ll never claim my country’s internet is comparable to one that do provide it for a normal residential connection, because we don’t have that option here.

And he did say his internet was a normal domestic internet, btw.

You’re not making a good look for your stance when you over hyperbolize the situation.

I needed to hyperbolize the situation because you can’t seem to grasp why a business line wasn’t a good comparison, as you can see from how it works in my country. All you needed to do was provide the point that the symmetrical internet is not exclusive to a business contract and it would have made your argument completely valid.

Tell them to copy and paste that text from their phone to their TV and tell me how it goes. First, you gotta explain what apps are available on whatever TV they’re using, though.

You also conveniently forget to mention the amount of work you need to setup a domain name that points to your Jellyfin server vs just telling them to sign up for a Plex account and tell you the email address they used.

Btw, the average person have no trouble signing up for an online account. How do you think people create an account for their social media, email address, and online shopping? Just google Plex and sign up. It’s a familiar process for them, unlike dealing with URLs or VPN apps.

He provided details about his non-business internet being symmetrical and YOU compared it to your business contract line, that’s literally how it started.

The cost is to prove that Americans do not have easy access to the same level of internet his country has, which is his main point. You needed to purchase a business line to have it symmetrical, which is not accessible to the everyone.

Just because you can pay 100 times the cost of healthcare in European countries to get high quality heathcare in America, it doesn’t mean the average American can afford to go to the hospital or that your healthcare system is just as good. The same thing applies to your internet.

Yeah, but the proportion of people who used computers during that time is much smaller than the generations after, meaning they only represent a very small minority of non-technical computer users.

Not to mention that my country lagged behind in terms of computer adoption during the 90’s and 00’s compared to developed nations, so it is even less likely for you to find that category of people around me.

They can if forced to, but they never have to do that normally. What you’re telling people to do is make normal people do things they don’t normally do when browsing the web and saying its as easy as making them sign up for a Plex account. Most people have done similar things as the latter, but they only have to type a full URL once or twice in their lifetime.

That is way beyond the comfort zone of most people I know. The general use case of web browser for normal people is googling the website they want and clicking the link while being blissfully unaware of what a URL is or does.

This does not mean they are mentally deficient, it just means they spend their mental processing and memory on other things they deem actually important.

Then, you are completely out of touch with how most people use computers.

No, he provided details for his internet first. You’re the one who came in comparing your business contract internet with his non-business one. Did you just conveniently forget that?

So if Israel supporters use the growth of Palestinian citizens as proof that no genocide is happening, does that mean that the growth of Israel’s borders are proof that the country surrounding them haven’t been trying to destroy Israel? Or does it work the other way around?

The article literally mentioned AGI, which is why he commented about the relationship between LLM and AGI. I agree with him, LLM by itself will never be an AGI, but it can definitely be a part of it, especially if it takes the role similar to the human language centre.

Where did they mention race in the part of the comment you quoted?

When you judge people using labels and ignore every nuance, you’re the cause of the miscommunication, not the use of a label that has an actual meaning outside of your seemingly very judgemental understanding.
