Because there are alot of ignorant people in the world afraid of what they perceive as different.

In your first two examples, regardless of not being politicians it's clear that by helping put politicians in power they benefit, so whether they genuinely care or not, it's just about money and lack of compassion to them. And continuing to drive class warfare continues to benefit them.

In your last example, I think that person is just in the ignorant and afraid of change category with an unfortunate amount of exposure.

Honestly one could probably make a comparison to a loan shark, you keep paying it off but the interest is so high and you keep borrowing more you just stay in debt and keep sinking deeper.

Sleep debt itself is a weird metric. You can't "pay it back", lost sleep is lost sleep, period.

The body doesn't keep track, the body just complains. You might feel weird if there is a dramatic change to your sleep schedule.

Roguelikes and roguelites tend to be my favorite. Ones where each run is new and you can toy with different builds and usually get pretty OP toward the end (or get cut down early because luck wasn't in your favor or you made a mistake).

A VPN is still a good choice, in fact if you setup your own VPN on a VPS that is an even safer choice because then you (sorta) control the certificate used for encryption. True, your hosting provider could still obtain that cert if they really wanted to, and they still have the data on your IP using it and for how long / how much, but it would make obtaining your data a targeted attack.

But there are cons to setting up your own, such as misconfiguration exposing you, or just the setup time in general.

A VPN introduces a new party who can harvest your data. It doesn't avoid IP tracking, it just shifts it from your ISP to another entity.

You have to trust that your VPN provider's claims of no logging/tracking are accurate, you can usually get fairly confident with research but it's never 100%.

Edit: to clarify, I'm not trying to dissuade VPN use. It's a still a great choice.

A not so funny story on a similar vein: roughly a week after my parent's friends of a couple decades agreed to be named as our guardians, the husband announced, on April 1st, he was getting a divorce.

It wasn't a terrible joke, he just chose the most inappropriate time to announce it.

He did get the raw end of that divorce in court though, the judge really didn't like him after he brought his mistress to court.

My gaming rig is impacted, however it's being replaced as soon as the 9950x3d comes out, and I plan on running Linux to match my usual usage, as I daily drive Silverblue, though I'm considering CachyOS or something else based on Arch.

Thanks for the correction and clarification! I just assumed from the open-r1 post that they gave everything aside from the training data.

Open source isn't really applicable to LLM models IMO.

There is open weights (the model), and available training data, and other nuances.

They actually went a step further and provided a very thorough breakdown of the training process, which does mean others could similarly train models from scratch with their own training data. HuggingFace seems to be doing just that as well. https://huggingface.co/blog/open-r1

Edit: see the comment below by BakedCatboy for a more indepth explanation and correction of a misconception I've made

There's Filler Checker as well for those that don't have such a collection.

Could be federation issues as mentioned, however I would double check your language settings to ensure you're not hiding posts in Portuguese, though I would still expect some posts that don't have the correct language / are in English to show (and undefined).
