  Because sugar, fat and salt in those quantities are literally addictive. Our human/monkey brains were wired for survival, not overall health. Eating a large source of those three would’ve been a massive help in surviving winter when our next meal wouldn’t be guaranteed.

  Gawwdan preventing rebinding is so annoying! Or it’s monkey paw wish cousin, letting you rebinding but the on-screen prompts are hard coded to display the default key.

  In a simmiliar accessibility vein, I’m hard of hearing so when a game has no option for subtitles then at best I catch 1/3rd of the story.

  Prounon stolen valor isn’t a thing. And yelling at folk trying to gatekeep it as such is far more harmful to our community than any amount of “virtue signaling” from those you deem unworthy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Same shit!!!!!!!!!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Apart from that yeah, nothing changed, not even in the slightest. 🙄

  So, lemme get this straight. You’re saying things have changed, which is why we need AI to repeat things people are already saying.

  lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Same shit!!!!!!!!!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Comparisons between MAGA, Nazis and confederacy have been prevalent for the last decade. Nothing about this is new, original or even interesting. AI slop saying true things is still low effort derivative AI slop. It’s not helpful in the slightest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any gender bender isekai manga where MC actually likes being female and wants to be female.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t read much manga, so perhaps this is a common title but “Inside Mari” resonated with me on a substantial level. I only know of it from being posted about it in a few trans spaces. If you haven’t read it, I’d recommend to going in blind. It seems very standard body swap, until it’s not.

  So I’m not inekn megs man, platfroer shooters are super not my thing. But after loving Paradise Killer I think detective games just might be, but I’ve never played any of the Ace games, any suggestions on which is a good entry point to the series? Is there an overall story of are the games self contained?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 2025 version of "Please consider this environment before printing this email" should be "Please consider this environment before using A.I. to respond to this email"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So this is kind of an apples and oranges thing, I on my phone so I can’t fully convert the numbers, but I took a few minutes to poke around and I think I found some stats that should put this in perspective.

  www.arbor.eco/blog/ai-environmental-impact

  Each query sends out roughly 4.32 grams of CO₂e (MLCO2), which may seem trivial on its own but adds up millions of queries a day, and you’re looking at a staggering daily output. 1 million messages sent to ChatGPT is equivalent to 11,001 miles driven by an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle

  Which is yikes and without a doubt unsustainable energy usage, but comparing this to wikis article on COVID environmental impacts

  en.wikipedia.org/…/Impact_of_the_COVID-19_pandemi…

  In 2020, carbon dioxide emissions fell by 6.4% or 2.3 billion tonnes globally.

  My napkin math says that we would need ~532,407,407 AI queries to match the 2020 work for home drop, but unfortunately, Chat GPT alone is estimating 2.5 billion prompts, daily.

  I started writing this assuming the opposite was true but unfortunately AI is a bigger environmental impact than an RTO. Which is honestly shocking. I hope someone corrects my math and tells me it isn’t this dire. Work from should be the norm, but AI is truly just a massive environmental burden.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  #HA!

  I feel like I should be annoyed at the headline, but honestly it’s clever. Veganism isn’t just a diet, but an ethical framework on minimizing harm so this scans on all three aspects

  • I support artists who had their work stolen as part of dataset, it’s largely the same reason I don’t eat animals, it’s all about consent. Being harmed without consent is always wrong.

  • Likewise the environmental footprint of meat and AI are massive and unnecessary. The carbon footprint between meat and plant protein is massive, just like the difference between building more data centers and supporting existing artists.

  • AI is bad for your mental health, we don’t really have complete research on what exactly AI does to our brains but I’ve seen enough people thinking they “unlocked sentience”, became “digital gods” and started AI “relationships” to steer clear for my own protection. Not dissimilar to the studies that show a plant based diet is better for your heart and immune system. I’d still be eating plants even if it were bad for my health, I care more about the ethical side, but existing research very much shows it as a net positive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Frankly, it’s pretty lame to use (the imperically correct concept) of, no ethical consumption under capitalism to blanket absolve you of any responsibility with your choices. You can be mad at the stats but that doesn’t really change the reality of what massively contributes to climate change as a culture is. Living in a capitalistic hellscape isn’t a get out of jail free card.

  Just for your own sake, stop this line of thinking at “I don’t care” instead of looking for a scapegoat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is both true and accurate, while still being a colossal cop out.

  Some are sure, but there are many different ways to make vegan cheese that produce wildly different results. IMO the cashew based ones are best. If you can find it at your local store, Myokos mozzarella for pizzas is absolutely divine.

  That’s honestly heart breaking, all three gave exceptional performances. I hope in time people will understand the artistic merit in both voice acting and video games as a medium, but these people deserved to skyrocket into their own franchises.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Conservatives physically look evil?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry I want the world to be objectively a better place.

  You’re reducing racism and bigotry to an unmuteable fact of their biology. If someone like MTG or Matt Gaetz did a 180 and started showing up at protests talking about the inner workings they was privy in the white house, introducing bills to protect trans folk and correctly identifying the genocide in gaza. Would they still be ugly?

  If not, then it’s not an objective fact about their body, but their choices and opinions. If they are still ugly, then I guess their choices were born with their inherent “uglyness” and they no longer have responsibility for their choices.

  At best, this idea white washes personal responsibility, at worst it’s a further divide that keeps MAGA fucks from listening to objective reality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Conservatives physically look evil?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You sound like a evangelical preacher yelling about “physically evil” minorities. Mark of Cain turning people black as sign of their “taint”, queer and trans folk not following gender norms looking “ridiculous” or why feminist are always “ugly women who are jealous”. This sort of rhetoric has long been used to justify all flavors of bigotry.

  You believe what ya like. Obviously I can’t stop you, but there are better arguments to make and better uses of your energy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Conservatives physically look evil?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m thankful that I can see the enemy for what they are.

  You literally can not. You’re just classing up ableism under the cover of resistance. These people provide more than enough reasons to hate and distrust themselves, you don’t have to pretend it’s physical defects. In fact, presenting this weak argument just makes them less likely for their supporters to be reached.
