O-oh, uwould youwu wook at the time! :3

This Is Not a Bowl of Sexy Fruit

Speaking of proving the point lol

If their spam filter is “learning,” and if new signup verification emails are a consistent decades-old practice, how much longer should we wait before it’s okay to question whether Google’s filter could do better at learning?

Do you need a sign for every decision you make?

A funny thing about life is a lot of things happen unofficially, and humans do fine at adjusting to such situations.

Amazon promotes the shittiest, least honest reviews to the top of most products, though I guess if you know how to hunt for the rough 2-4* ratings you can technically find real reviews too.

“Objective worth” is a bit of an oxymoron, because worth is up to your value judgment.

If you’re questioning the “evolutionary imperative” that organisms want to pass on genes - one fairly human trait is that a lot of us can consciously diverge from that instinct, either fulfilling that need by passing on our legacies socially rather than genetically, or just not looking to pass anything on at all.

Something we have in common with other mammals is we prioritize whatever experience is in front of us. Anyone who’s directly affected by catastrophes and strife will have different beliefs than people who aren’t.

So if objective worth has no neat answer, what’s left?

I’d say it’s interesting to have so many different subjective experiences in one world, with a language-based society able to communicate and share many more varied experiences than most animals. Interesting isn’t inherently good or bad, but if nothing was good nor bad then nothing would be interesting.

So yea. Human life is entertaining. We’ve got that going for us!

P.S. If you’ve ever lived in a city whose infrastructure is strained by overpopulation, you don’t necessarily view declining/shifting populations as a bad thing.

who’s “we,” bub

Who do you feel the need to convince of this? Yourself? Lol

What’s crazier than your weirdly combative, out of touch comment is the fact 6 other people decided to upvote it.

When large corps make news laying off 30% of staff, those people are getting severance packages.

Did you get lost and end up in the 1850s?

Their guess sounds really plausible though

Yep I’ve been witnessing it for years and I still have no idea how to wrap my head around what is happening

I decided to Google that name to understand. First blog I clicked on has a paragraph that starts:

I think it’s especially absurd to place your trust in Mozilla FurryFox and their team of stereotypical SJWs and soydevs …

In 2020 this person was substituting coherent points with trite schoolyard namecalling from over a decade before. So that dude’s not only an incoherent idiot but also dangerous. Man.

For real, what idea was that actually meant to convey? OP seems confused about having been indoctrinated with cult language

(OP I’ve been there, good on you for reflecting on it, but there’s more unpacking to do)

Sorry to pick on your comment, but I have a question about a statement everyone seems to assert…

Is he charismatic? No.

(As a disclaimer I’m out of touch with people’s impressions on this)

I don’t understand this statement from everyone. Charismatic compared to what? He’s way more charismatic than most humans - he’s a career politician who manages thousands of relationships. He snaps off solid one-liners to shut down trolls. He leaned into the Dark Brandon thing. If he spent effort seeming even more charismatic, I’d be more concerned about his fitness for the job.

Put another way, I see him as having the right balance of charisma for voters aged 35+.

What are people wishing we had instead of that, in a presidential candidate?

Wait’ll you hear which one came first

You confused me for a sec, I’ve enjoyed Anodyne Coffee Roasting lots and thought their space is plenty comfortable lol

Facts weren’t the answer for that group to begin with, so not much is changing for them.

Yea that wasn’t meant to downplay the skill required to hang. But relatively speaking, defending with a goal to clinch up takes a ton less effort and risk than pursuing an offensive striking game.

Looking from the other direction, it is incredibly difficult to actually knock someone out who is only defending and waiting to get close to you.
