i just dont get this mindset in which people draw up ahistorical parallels to make up excuses for something. You stated that the invasion has something to do with geopolitical danger for russia, and was not in retaliation for what US did in

I 'm watching RT to try to understand the russian propaganda, and it seems even the reporters are caught by surprise by the scale of the invasion. What you said does not justify launching a full scale attack against the entirety of ukr

Do (hired) developers code? There is no commitment or dedication in software today and it shows from the sloppiness and intrusiveness, to the wholly undifferentiated design. There is just too much easy money that has attracted too many rand

I prefer to see it in terms of power hierarchy. Programmers gained a massive advantage in the past decades because they got to dictate to everyone how to work - they went higher in the power hierarchy. This has taken the wages of everyone e

I mean, you could use training to train the AI to generate faces that seem more trustworthy so yeah, they should be more 'trustworthy'. And i m sure people will use this 'trustworthiness' for all the good reasons, right

There are studies about what abstinence does to hormones. At day seven there is a peak of testosterone then it drops back. What would the science explain? that people like sexual activity, alone or with partner? that's not exactly new.

The same things have been said about cars, music, movies, the internet etc. People make their choice and choose porn or anything else. Chasing sex for pleasure never made a lot of sense evolutionary but there was in past decades a lot of so

Sex mhm so much trouble and so many hoops to jump. Sex is for boomers who measure themselves by it. Thanks to porn and technology you no longer have to wait in the rain for cold, it gets delivered.
