Pretending men and their societies aren’t a unique problem is misogyny. This isn’t applicable to taxes, nationalities or other issues. This is the patriarchy. And you’re supporting rape culture by pretending it doesn’t exist.

Oh yeah. And the shield is wrong. I hate this.
- Comment on OpenAI Is ‘Exploring’ How to Responsibly Generate AI Porn 2 days ago:
Using pornographic art to train is still using other people’s art without permission.
And if it’s able to generate porn that looks like real people, it can be used to abuse people.

Because they get to play it early. That’s it. I played BG3 early and still had a lot of fun replaying Act 1 when it came out.
The studio gets a number of things, as well. While direct feedback is small, that is still valuable as they could never test that many hardware and software variants. They also get automated data from the software phoning home on crashes if that’s enabled. And they get an influx of cash in the last few months of development as their sales spike gets a bit flattened. It’s a winning strategy if you don’t have the funds for a huge marketing blitz to drive initial sales.

“not all men!”
Enough men that most women would choose a fucking bear. Look in the mirror: you’re the problem.
- Comment on Mean world syndrome has reacted a fever pitch. 4 days ago:
Men having to listen to women and be confronted with reality and the harms their gender and society are actively causing is NOT pitting people against each other. Women don’t want to fight and ostracize men. They want to be safe FROM men.
If you see this discussion and feel defensive, that’s your brain trying to tell you something’s wrong and you should probably analyze why you feel like you are being attacked.

I agree totally with the first sentiment but I don’t think the recent prevalence of True Crime media really plays into it at all. This is not a new thing. Women have been making these risk assessment decisions for generations in the modern age. Girls are taught this kind of thing with how to protect themselves at a young age.
This is primarily a cultural issue and it won’t change unless the majority of people propagating (intentionally or not) realize what’s happening and work to change.

The number of people either too dense or too willfully misogynistic to understand what this is about is depressing.
If you’re arguing bear statistics or saying “not all men” or decrying misandry, then you’ve totally missed the point. If you are doing it intentionally, you’re the type of men women would choose the bear over.
The fact that anyone would choose a dangerous animal over a random man is an indictment against the culture surrounding male privilege and should spark introspection and change. Arguments against this is just ignoring women and solidifies the decision that the bear is better.

If we were really ambitious could we harness geothermal energy to such an extent as to prevent major eruptions if we could predict them?

Privilege and money. When you are that rich you aren’t really connected to people and humanity as a whole. No one tells you that what you’re proposing is fucking insane and awful. Notice most of San Franciscoans aren’t calling for stupid shit; they’re just struggling to survive.

Good question! I had forgotten about Jupiter’s Trojans and Greek asteroids!
I went and checked the definiton of Clearing the Neighborhood by IAU, emphasis mine:
The phrase refers to an orbiting body (a planet or protoplanet) “sweeping out” its orbital region over time, by gravitationally interacting with smaller bodies nearby. Over many orbital cycles, a large body will tend to cause small bodies either to accrete with it, or to be disturbed to another orbit, or to be captured either as a satellite or into a resonant orbit. As a consequence it does not then share its orbital region with other bodies of significant size, except for its own satellites, or other bodies governed by its own gravitational influence. This latter restriction excludes objects whose orbits may cross but that will never collide with each other due to orbital resonance, such as Jupiter and its trojans, Earth and 3753 Cruithne, or Neptune and the plutinos.[3] As to the extent of orbit clearing required, Jean-Luc Margot emphasises “a planet can never completely clear its orbital zone, because gravitational and radiative forces continually perturb the orbits of asteroids and comets into planet-crossing orbits” and states that the IAU did not intend the impossible standard of impeccable orbit clearing.[2]
Trojans and Greeks orbit Jupiter’s LaGrange points in a stable orbit and so they are governed by Jupiter’s gravity. You could say they’re really weird moons orbiting semi-stable points Jupiter creates. Image

I pretty much never see porn show up for me in all. I get a bunch of communities showing pictures of partially clad women I have to block but that’s it. Did you disable NSFW?

It’s not the size that counts but the ability to clear your orbit. ;)
