I think the point is to start considering a back up plan and then...hakuna matata. Cat's out of the bag. There is no legislation that will stop this. Not unless/until it has some obscene cost and AI gets locked down like nuclear w

I mean, there's something to be said for letting kids get away with shit. The old version of "actions not having consequences" was not getting caught. It can be enriching to rebel a little and get away with stuff. A lot of pe

Well, it sounds like the numbers were just being artificially inflated in the first place. Now they're being brought down to match reality. Side note, I don't really see how advertising can possibly be useful in this medium. We al

Companies usually do better year after year until they reach market saturation or until the competition kills them. Once one of those things happens, they start to squeeze blood from the stone. The quality of the product drops, the prices a

So glad you shared this. Been too long since I read this book. Love this part and it's very relevant.

One hypothesis is that the shape of the glans penis serves to push rival sperm out of the way and behind the glans to be scooped out of the vagina. I wouldn't call monogamy unnatural. But it may be a more recent invention for humans. W

Even with written recollections and archives, it's going to be so difficult to follow. Things just change so quickly. The irony and memes that require you to understand 5 other memes are just going to be so difficult to capture in any

After thinking about it, those results are probably so high up because people are misspelling "fingering."

Diabetic mother-in-law is on it. Lost a ton of weight, is moving around better, and when I saw her over the holidays last week I felt she was mentally sharper than before. My wife has been worried about her mental acuity declining over the

I love tons of strange rappers. I think what rubs me the wrong way about Kosher is that he feels inauthentic in several ways. A supposedly Jewish rapper talking about killing people and embracing that lifestyle seems weird to me. The fact t

I love rap and hip hop in general. I find Kosher to be odd. That's all.

The only reason I sometimes hesitate to agree with this line of thinking is precisely because we have the ability to think about free will at all. I can take a moment right now to consider whether I want to lift my right hand over my head -

Don't worry guys, I teach 8th grade. You're not missing much. A student recently introduced me to BLP Kosher. That was... an experience. https://youtu.be/xUqDb-p-Ksw?si=kOLnSXlXgfc6wad_

Sorry, I have to politely disagree. Space exploration could save humanity in so many ways. Nevermind the big "what if" discoveries that would impact the trajectory of our entire species, we also discover valuable science along the

So dumb. It's free publicity for the rest of human existence . They should have been begging to have the song included. Even a small chance of aliens becoming Beatles fans and coming to Earth to trade unimaginable wealth in exchange f

In the old days? Back-breaking work that's no longer necessary or efficient. In the slightly less old days, probably socialize. Nothing super productive or world changing I assume. I would also guess that a lot of these hours are spent

That someone else is a collective of everyone else, as I'm sure you know. Because that's how a good society functions. Either everyone pays to replace the lead pipes, or everyone pays when lead-poisoned children grow up dumber, an

Yeah Tolkien always used Germanic words when he could. Patrick Rothfuss does this too, which is why his works also sound so pleasant and poetic.

Could you possibly send me an invite? If not, no worries! I like the philosophy as well, and I miss the high(er) quality discussions reddit used to have. I have liked H News for a while but there are some itches it doesn't scratch whic

Strongly disagree. There are so many situations in which abusive people (employers, romantic partners, politicians) need to be caught unaware or they won't be caught at all. Obviously there are lines to be drawn when we are talking abo

I find that talk page fascinating. I have only rarely looked into how the sausage is made over at Wikipedia, but I'm intrigued every time I do. Not that anyone asked, but I think he is absolutely guilty of spreading vaccine propaganda

Could you elaborate or provide examples? I have never seen what you're describing on Wikipedia.

I'll be the odd man out here - I teach special education and GPT has been a lifesaver. I feed it a complex task or text, ask it to simplify it down to my students' reading levels, and then just do a super quick read/edit. Sim

I absolutely love your idea but I can't imagine Reddit would contribute to their own demise. Granted, a lot of the decisions they're making over there lately would indicate otherwise, so maybe they'll love the idea. Side note

biggest problem with playing call of duty on a stadia would be the additional lag. I found that I wasn't able to enjoy my stadia beyond puzzle games. And I have pretty decent internet. There were periods of a few minutes when I would f

I don't find myself doing that very much. I obviously prefer to play my PC or PlayStation, but will play my Switch if I am in the bathroom, riding shotgun on a long car ride, etc. Mobile games, for me, are essentially waiting room game
