- Comment on Neuralink to implant 2nd human with brain chip as 85% of threads retract in 1st 5 months ago:
I think it will be impossible for us to asses how much it actually impacts function in real world use case.
Does seem fair though to say though that if you have 85% less input probes, that you’re losing some to a large amount of fidelity, than an algorithm can only make up so much for. At the end of the day, it’s a lack of data that was originally expected for the algorithm to work with.
A potentionally bad analogy, but think of it as a high bitrate versus a low bitrate, for listening to music. The quality of the music will be notably different, but you would still be able to hear both of the songs in their entirety.

What if your wife already won’t have sex with you? Asking for a friend…

You said your lid and seat are totally independent - suggesting you can leave the seat up but close the lid.
You misunderstood.
I was responding in disagreement to your comment about how both of them have to both be up together, or both down together.
I wasn’t commenting on what order they stack on top of each other.
I feel like I’m being trolled myself tbh.
For the record, not trolling at all, it’s not what I do.
So lets just shake our heads
bin unison and carry on.And yes, this is definitely not a subject we should be continuing to talk about. Have a good day.
- Comment on Why do men call their father their "old man", but their "old lady" is their wife? 5 months ago:
So you can have the lid down while seat is up? Then what you said before makes much more sense. Though not sure what purpose this feature brings. Or how that would even lool like, never seen anything like that.
Are you trying to be purposely obtuse, or intellectually dishonest?
Or are you trying to let me know I have a typo somewhere in one of my earlier comments, without actually explicitly saying so?
Or do you have a magic toilet where urine can pass through the lid when its down?
- Comment on Why do men call their father their "old man", but their "old lady" is their wife? 5 months ago:
Seat is down if thenlid is down.
Our lid is seperate from the seat. One can be done while the other one is still up.

Actually our bathroom sink is outside of the bathroom toilet, with a door seperating them. 🤷

I’ve had this happen to me. I suspect it’s one sad MRA type with a pile of accounts bringing the downvotes.
If true, I’d feel really sad for that person, in a go outside and touch grass sort of way.
Honestly, at this point I expect the large amount of downvotes for anything I post. I’ve had that happen to a post where I just said “Thanks” and nothing else. Its sad, and I’d wish the Lemmy admins would catch that sort of thing more often (understanding that they are volunteers, but still), as it doesn’t make my experience here on Lemmy any better than when I was on Reddit.

Lid down so the flush spray is mostly contained is enough reason, no?
We never have that problem in our household. 🤷
We have a toilet that flushes in the front to the back in a jet, there’s never any splash.
Where the falling in problem tends to reoccur.

Maybe I’m not understanding you but lid down is a foolproof way to not fall in from my perspective.
Yeah, that’s exactly my point.
My wife always forgets when she gets up in the middle of the night, and falls in, so she asks me to always make sure to see this down for her.
- Comment on Why do men call their father their "old man", but their "old lady" is their wife? 5 months ago:
Because subconsciously they want to fuck their mom of course.
That’s a very Oedipus Rex statement.
- Comment on Why do men call their father their "old man", but their "old lady" is their wife? 5 months ago:
Toilet seat belongs down - and the lid with it! It’s not only logical, but also just.
The thing is, at least in our household, the lid has to stay up.
I actually thought as you do, as that would be a perfect compromise, both parties would have to work to use the toilet.
But from what I’m told, is the late night half asleep moments where you forget to put the seat down, and you fall down into the toilet, that is being prevented by making sure the seats always down and the lid is always up.
It’s a low hanging fruit way of maritial bliss, so I go with it.

This is it. Trump didn’t give a flying shit at all if anything he did was legal, he just went for it, and it worked.

I did, but you never really answer the question, are you financially prepared and willing to actually defend your license in court?
I did, both in the link that I originally gave you, as well as replying to your comment directly at the top.
And also your link has become incredibly obnoxious, you don’t need all those “~”
That’s a problem with your mobile client, it’s not supporting subscript and superscript fonts correctly, per Lemmy’s help page on formatting comments. Also discussed in that original link I gave you.
- Comment on Why Didn't Democrats Do More When They Controlled Both Houses of Legislature, The White House, and The Supreme Court During Obama's First Term? 5 months ago:
Are you prepared to shell out potentially 10’s of thousands of dollars to actually defend your license? That’s my biggest question in this, because if not it really is a waste of time and effort.
Well I meant for you to also go to the top of that conversation to read everything that’s been discussed, including my answer to the question you just asked.
Also, we’re really derailing the topic of the post.

- Comment on Why do men call their father their "old man", but their "old lady" is their wife? 5 months ago:
“old lady” absolutely is slang for wife.
I know it exists, but I’ve never used it.
It sends one hell of a negative signal to your significant other to your dissatisfaction of them, which I’ve never felt for my own wife.
Also, I was just being more humorous, than literal (hence the toilet seat comment).
- Comment on I Don’t Want To Spend My One Wild And Precious Life Dealing With Google’s AI Search - Aftermath 5 months ago:
From the article …
but that I have to wait for all the crap I don’t want in the first place.
It comes down to Google telling us what it thinks we’d want, vs giving us what we actually ask for, and the time wasted doing so.
That, and probably punishing people who use ad blockers.

but outside of Obamacare getting passed which didnt go far enough
You’re way underestimating and underemphasizing Obamacare, and the impact it took to get it into law.
Obamacare was a huge get for the Democrats, and while it wasn’t Medicare for all that we all wanted, especially with the Republicans fighting tooth and nail to deny him, that was a huge win.
It took a lot of effort in time to get Obamacare, which took all the oxygen out of the room for doing other things.

No married man calls his wife old, not if he ever wants to have sex again with her.
That, and leaving the toilet seat up.

- Comment on EA are thinking about inserting adverts into games - but don’t worry, it’ll be “very thoughtful” 6 months ago:
Didn’t we talk about this last week?
- Comment on EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again 6 months ago:
I’d love to know how to get a refund. I’ve tried 4 times with different prompts suggested in forums and comments. It is in fact worse and not equal to the state it was in at launch.
Try asking again for one.
That video I linked was stating they were now doing refunds. I haven’t tried it, since I don’t own the game (didn’t like the root level access crap). But I’ve also read elsewhere that at first they were not doing refunds but they changed their minds and now they are.
- Comment on EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again 6 months ago:
Now, here’s the part that game publishers conveniently never talk about: distributing games is far cheaper now. We’re usually not shipping pallets of discs that take up loads of space and cost money to physically create, while also having to build in a profit margin for all the middlemen along the way, including for the retailer. We predominantly buy games digitally.
On top of that, gaming used to be niche, now everybody does it. The market is far larger, so they don’t need to charge a lot to still make bank.
Great points! And yes, they’re almost never talked about!
- Comment on EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again 6 months ago:
Sony made a social media post. Original date for PsN requirement was June. During the backlash, over 100 countries were delisted. They still are. The current situation is still much worse than launch.
Don’t think you’re representing the situation accurately.
The primary goal was to not have to create a Playstation account.
Sony can always decide where to sell their products, regardless if there’s a controversy, or just any day of the week and for any reason. We could never control where Sony sells their products.
- Comment on EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again 6 months ago:
still expect to do to a rug pull once people’s attention are elsewhere. Oh look, Microsoft is doing a thing now.
Corporations being corporations and trying to rip off the customer to make the stockholder happy is a constant thing (unfortunately). “Viva Capitalism!”, and all that.
But ‘We the
PeopleCustomers’" ultimately have the control, we control the purse strings. They need the money in our wallets, and we can decide to give them that money or not, based on how they treat us, as customers. They will try to psyop convince you otherwise of that fact, but that fact remains, and holds true.Its an endless battle/war, but its a good one to fight for. Then they try something the next time, we push back against it. Again.
- Comment on EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again 6 months ago:
Nothing changed with Helldivers. The game is still blocked in over 100 countries and people who rightfully purchased the game still can not play it. Sure we don’t have to create an account, but that was annoying -not an actual issue. The real issue was thousands of people suddenly losing access to their game because Sony wants conversion.
Last I heard that problem went away with them backing off of not needing a Playstation account anymore.
And the fact that they backed off the account requirement is a definate win for us.
- Comment on EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again 6 months ago:
I’m saying there’s not really anything more I can do when it comes to EA.
You are already doing your part. Thank you, citizen.
But, you can also vocalize to the others, especially the younger generation, that things like ads in games can be pushed back against successfully, as it has in the past. That they don’t have to put up with crap, or think they can’t push back against the monolithic corporation, because its been done before, successfully.
Hell, EA was one of those companies that tried ads in games before, and had to retreat from the pushback from customers.
