This art style is now completely doomed for the next several years at least because it’s so characteristic of AI slop.
- Comment on PSA: WASH YOUR HANDS 1 week ago:
Not just this but definitely helped me in my journey. The whole idea of having to use separate cutting boards and knives just incase you get a terrible infection is totally insane.

- Comment on Would we be able to use the measles virus to reset the immune systems of people with autoimmune disorders like MS or rheumatoid arthritis? 2 weeks ago:
It sounds like a really smart question. Most people have no idea how measles, or any virus, works.
- Comment on Surprise! 2 weeks ago:
It’s still a kind of discrimination when you can’t imagine other people like you to be different than you. It’s totally fine for them to be 80-20 gay-straight but when you make blanket statements like “as a bi, I can tell you most bi guys are actually gay” that is hurtful discrimination.
- Comment on Surprise! 3 weeks ago:
It’s not as simple as that at all. Sexuality is a spectrum, it’s fluid, you’re not always born with it, and there are social factors at play. In some societies bi people live straight lives due to social pressure. On top of that, many bi guys often have more sex with guys because it’s easier and carries no risk of pregnancy. So yeah, your friend is just discriminating against bisexual people.

- Comment on El Salvador parliament adopts reform to allow Bukele to run indefinitely 3 weeks ago:
Oof… That can’t be good. It’s great that he fixed the country’s safety issues, though not without breaking some eggs, but term limits exist for a reason. No one is immune to the corruption.

As any modern computer system, LLMs are much better and smarter than us at certain tasks while terrible at others. You could say that having good memory and communication skills is part of what defines an intelligent person. Not everyone has those abilities, but LLMs do.
My point is, there’s nothing useful coming out of the arguments over the semantics of the word “intelligence”.

I’m sure some countries will gladly setup VPNs for accessing this stuff even when all other countries block adult stuff.
- Comment on Become back status quo 4 weeks ago:
It’s 2025. Why are we still using cards for regular purchases? In Europe there are so many local alternative systems, which are about to start integrating with each other.
- Comment on Twitter in EU and UK 4 weeks ago:
What FUD? All I want twitter to be is a source of porn. And now it’s not even useful for that anymore.
- Comment on From games to reminders to drink water: The rise of 'streaks,' rewards that keep you hooked 4 weeks ago:
My duolingo strike addiction made me fucking miserable, but I just couldn’t stop. I knew that breaking it would plunge me into a horrible depressive state. I finally broke free after finishing the diamond league and make peace with “good enough”. I haven’t been able to use duolingo ever since, because there’s apparently no way of just using duolingo normally without gamification.

Sure. I had to buy some replacement RAM sticks for a 2001 PC and was very glad to find a guy selling a bundle of them. Half were not working though.

That method would not wash anything more than a little sweat.
- Comment on Is Mexican food uniquely good with alcohol or have I just been conditioned? 5 weeks ago:
