I can’t figure out what’s strange about her hands, and aren’t the blinds from the original image? Which I presume is real?
- Comment on Wealth inequality seems like the only outcome in a system where capital gains are taxed less than labor 1 week ago:
I somt think it would take a thousand years for modern society. As complexity increases so does the risk for cascading failure
- Comment on This is very funny to me. 1 week ago:
Unless they’re like right wing or nationalist, people are in general not in denial about our past. More or less the same as in other countries
Most countries have done horrible shit, and it sucks a whenever it gets denied
- Comment on healthy nutrition 1 week ago:
Not necessarily. I’m pretty sure there’s more parts to binge eating than just eating a lot of food in a short period of time. More psychology involved such as struggling to control yourself/how much you eat, and likely involving overeating by a lot
But like, do read up on expert sources than just me
- Comment on Mozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegal 1 week ago:
Capitalism directly rewards this kind of behaviour. Maybe it would still be a problem in other systems, but capitalism very much exarcabates it by design.

This is apple we’re talking about. Not some random company.
- Comment on What a shocker! 3 weeks ago:
It’s .øre that it’s exhausting than anything else
I don’t want to play a game where people keep telling slurs or being toxic towards others. It just ruins the whole experience
- Comment on Why is kindness often viewed as a sign of naïveté? 3 weeks ago:
With a slight addendum, tit for tat is best, while also allowing for an appropriate amount of forgiveness
Also this short game showcases the concept well ncase.me/trust/
- Comment on Grok’s ‘spicy’ video setting instantly made me Taylor Swift nude deepfakes 3 weeks ago:
Uhm, there have been plenty of cases of people getting in trouble for sharing deepfake porn yes. It’s sexual harassment.
Well, at least over here in Europe, and it’s mostly been with teenagers, I don’t know the situation on the US
But generally, making and sharing porn of real people is… well… that can very easily count as sexual harassement
- Comment on Apart, low in cholesterine 3 weeks ago:
Relieving dehydration does increase athletic performance, however
Now, sure, this might not have any difference compared to plain old water, but the marketing never claimed that!
And yes this sort of shitty trickery is exactly what they’re doing
- Comment on Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK 3 weeks ago:
Ah, yes. As we all know, periods start at 18, when you’re a legal adult. It’s illegal to have periods before then

Isn’t Linux mostly used for cloud services though?

As if they’re not weaponizimng private entities anyway

Well, not too surprising, modded Minecraft chemistry is modeled after real life after all!
- Comment on Payment Processors Are Pressuring Major Gaming Vendors to Pull LGBTQ+ and NSFW Titles 4 weeks ago:
I keep people repeating this, but where are you getting this information from? I’ve never seen this claim before, and I’ve not noticed this happening when I’ve used itch in the past either?
- Comment on xkcd #3121: Kite Incident 4 weeks ago:
I swear, the US is a parody of itself
- Comment on Google, Microsoft say Chinese hackers are exploiting SharePoint zero-day 5 weeks ago:
Zero day is typically defined as there being zero days since the vulnerability is known to the developer, in other words, it being unknown at the time of the exploit.
- Comment on well? 5 weeks ago:
Yes I know what vacuum decay is, and the thing I referenced, the inflaton field, is a hypothetized false vacuum near the very start of the universe, that went through this exact process, giving rise to our current vacuum and ending the hypothetized inflation era
I know there’s a hypothesis that our current vacuum could be metastable as well, but that’s a seperate thing
- Comment on well? 5 weeks ago:
Astronomy is critical towards understanding the foundational principles of reality. Observing the universe around us is the guide for where physics should follow
And I think most people would agree that understanding how our world works, the physics of it all, is very very useful in unforeseen ways. Cannot hope to make a circuit if you don’t know how electricity works, right?

That is literally what the current big bang theory says! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflationary_epoch?wprov=sf…
- Comment on YSK that "AI" in itself is highly unspecific term 5 weeks ago:
Yes, and that has always been the debate
But the short answer is that we don’t really have a good grasp at what intelligence is, so it is all semantics in the end
- Comment on YSK that "AI" in itself is highly unspecific term 5 weeks ago:
The funny thing is, is that the goalposts on what is/isn’t intelligent has always shifted in the AI world
Being good at chess used to be a symbol of high intelligence. Now? Computer software can beat the best chess players in a fraction of the time used to think, 100% of the time, and we call that just an algorithm
This is not how intelligence has always been used. Moreover, we don’t even have a full understand of what intelligence is
And as a final note, human brains are also computational “tools”. As far as we can tell, there’s nothing fundamentally different between a brain and a theoretical Turing machine
And in a way, isn’t what we “spit” out also data? Specifically data in the form of nerve output and all the internal processing that accompanies it?
- Comment on You'd need to calculate the compound interest 5 weeks ago:
Exactly why it’d be a curse
- Comment on investment 5 weeks ago:
While I get this sentiment, to me it still feels pointless, because it all just seems… boring?
Because what’s the thrill? That you might win money? But then if you intentionally go in with your sentiment, there is no money to be won. The thrill is gone.
Why not just play a video game instead?
- Comment on It's just loss. 1 month ago:
I don’t think it’s disingenuous. It represents the total share of resource consumption. If something has 2x the biomass, it consumed 2x the materials needed to produce that biomass (purely in terms of the makeup of the body, that is)
I don’t think count by itself is very relevant. There’s more bacteria in a glass of water than there are humans in a country, but what does that tell you, exactly?

And it’s not just pets either, wildlife also gets affected by firework
