A given person’s definition of “old” is usually about 15 years older than they are. My boss is 65 and calls 70 year olds “young”.

That actually makes the show sound rad as hell.
- Comment on Disney Seeking Dismissal of Raglan Road Death Lawsuit Because Victim Was Disney+ Subscriber 3 months ago:
I’m so burned out on Star Wars and Marvel that Disney would have to pay me to watch that schlock. My only regret is that I cancelled D+ a year ago and I can’t stick it to them again over this bs.
- Comment on I need to survive for 3 days while pooping, and eating as much as possible. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack? 3 months ago:
Dried prunes, apples and pears have, I believe, the highest poop to volume ratio of any food.

This take will probably be unpopular, but FWIW I agree with you. I rarely use the community feature and I don’t care about the trading so personally I would like it if they just stuck with what they do well.

I used to make fun of vegans too, now I am one. Othering a group of people might seem like fun, but just make sure you try not to think too hard about their position. I think you’ll be ok though.

Based on our understanding of biology, a prerequisite for sentience is a central nervous system. Plants have really amazing abilities to pass chemical signals, but they lack any mechanics that would allow them to internalize the signals they receive. For example, I wouldn’t say that my doorbell is sentient just because it can warn me when someone is at my door. Importantly, animals are different from plants in their ability to internalize pain, fear, sadness, etc. This is why animal ethics and welfare are considered important discussions, and why it’s damaging to invoke plant sentience to distract from that discussion.

You’re saying “vegans” as if we’re a monolith. I’m sure there are vegans who aren’t aware that plants are considered living, but I’m sure there’s about the same percentage of meat eaters who aren’t either. If every vegan you’ve ever talked to (or most, since you’ve made both claims) has this misconception, I’m willing to bet your sample size is extremely small, or you’re being intentionally dishonest to support your initial claim.

Grass fed: small minority of beef cattle, finished on grain after grazing for about a year. Typically slaughtered at 18-24 months of age.
Grass finished: even smaller minority not fed grains and allowed to graze their entire lives. Typically slaughtered around 18-24 months of age.
Normal: majority raised in feedlots on heavy grain-based diets. Typically slaughtered closer to 16 months of age.All are slaughtered well shy of the 20+ year life expectancy of a cow in a sanctuary.

- Comment on AI Prompt Engineering Is Dead 8 months ago:
I really wish all of these companies racing to replace their existing software features and employees with LLMs understood this. So many applications are dependent on a response being 100% accurate for a very specific request as opposed to being 80% accurate for a wide variety of requests. “Based on training data, here’s what a response to your input might look like” is pretty good for conversational language and image generation, but it sucks for anything requiring computation or expertise. Worst of all, it’s so confidently wrong about things I might as well be back on Reddit.

I have a Visible plan (Verizon network, which works best in my area). Unlimited data and it’s a flat $30/mo. Did Google Fi and Xfinity Mobile before this and Visible is the one I like the best.
