- Comment on My boyfriend feels weird about sleeping over at my place because I live with my parents. How can I help him loosen up? 13 hours ago:
It is in the ways that matter here. “Own” here refers to being independent from your parents specifically, not property ownership.
- Comment on Arts & STEM 1 day ago:
My subjective interpretation of STEM is “degrees you need to know calculus for”. They’re all math heavy, with precise answers. While the arts are certainly important, I just don’t see how they fit that motif. What is this supposed to accomplish?

Yes, during which various consequences for the previous 4 years transpired. The effects of his first term rippled on for years. Several ongoing court cases against him for actions during his first term ran long enough to be dismissed because he got elected the second time.
Also did you just not attempt to learn absolutely anything about the time you were away?

How does that have acting to do with what I said? What I said was
In any ethical framework, the trolley problem presents you with the conflicting guilts of action and inaction. The ethical frameworks don’t do anything but justify whichever guilt you choose.
When did I say there was a right answer?

Then you had 5 years to witness the fallout from 2019 to 2024.

Uh, dude’s been a known liar for decades. He made himself known well before 2016, even more so for the next 4 years. We all said this was going to happen, no one else is surprised. You were warned.

Has it ever crossed anyone’s mind, that those of that didn’t vote, was usually because we didn’t approve of either candidate?
Christ, do they not teach the trolley problem anymore?
“Has it ever crossed anyone’s mind that I didn’t want the 5 guys on the main track or the 1 guy on the side track to die?”
Duh. That’s the point. You act and feel guilty about a small bad thing, or do nothing and feel guilty and a big bad thing. We got the big bad ending, feel guilty.
- Comment on Why is cottage cheese the only cheese defined by some relationship to a building? 4 days ago:
Most other cheeses are named after regions that had the specific cultures, climate conditions, and artisinal practices necessary to produce that particular cheese. Cottage cheese is just sorta the base cheese that any old peasant can make in their cottage.

- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 1 week ago:
This is exactly why I think “transgender” does more harm than good and I’ll die on this hill. What’s the point? The people who are going to accept the way you express yourself aren’t going to care if it conforms to gender stereotypes, and the people who aren’t won’t suddenly change their minds if it does.
All it does is reinforce the very same stereotypes that gave you gender dysphoria in the first place. It’s saying that gender norms are valid, you just got assigned the wrong ones. Live your truth, express yourself how you want, alter your body however you want, but don’t validate oppressive stereotypes in the process.

Asphalt is hot but as long as you keep moving, and you’ve built up some callouses, it’s not that bad. I always kept to the grass on the side when I could.

Once upon a time I was a barefoot hippie. If you extrapolate flip-flops down to their Platonic ideal, you can arrive at something you can fold up into your back pocket.
- Comment on YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed 1 week ago:
Peaceful protest works great under two conditions:
-
Just a metric fuckton of participants
-
The implicit threat of violent protest (e.g. Malcom X behind MLK)

Two minutes or two bites, but realistically when you can get to it. You wanna make sure they got everything they ordered, and it’s not burnt or undercooked or anything. The alternative is having to wait to get something fixed if it’s messed up. Source: 7 years a server.

That '70s Show aired in 1998, 22 years after 1976, when it was set.
1998 was 27 years ago.
- Comment on where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues? 2 weeks ago:
instead of bickering over why people are at the queer event and not a workers event
I see a lot of people in the thread interpreting OPs statements this way, but that just doesn’t seem like what they’re saying at all. They didn’t say anything negative about queer events, and they’re not asking why people are at them, or implying that those events should be less popular. They’re asking why workers rights events aren’t even more popular, considering their relevance to the vast majority of the population.
- Comment on Once you are over 30 we no longer want to go out - we want to be left alone, with a beer/wine, a blanket, tv, and tacos… 2 weeks ago:
I distinguish between “go out” and “go [some specific place]”. The first one implies just leaving home to be elsewhere, the second implies going someplace specific for a specific purpose.
I like going places, particular places with particular people for particular activities. I have many interests and enjoy exploring them (although all my cool stuff related to those interests is at my house anyway).
I don’t like “going out”, arbitrary places with arbitrary people for no particular reason. My time is limited and I have many interests, if I have free time I want to spend it intentionally.
- Comment on How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years? 2 weeks ago:
Me too, but I don’t really play a lot of video games, so I could list every game I’ve ever played pretty quickly.

" also means seconds. 1h23m45s = 1h23’45”. Same for subdivisions of degrees, 12°34’56"N, which are actually also called minutes and seconds.
- Comment on If AI was going to advance exponentially I'd of expected it to take off by now. 3 weeks ago:
Dude, your question is dumb and useless. I “avoided” your question by explaining why it was dumb and useless. Re-read, then re-read again, then watch some YouTube videos about exponential functions, then watch some videos about the AI singularity, then do whatever you want after that because I’m done trying to teach the unteachable.
