  And as Millennials/Zs/As are umshackled,

  They’re not though. They’re very rigidly stuck inside little Identity boxes anyway. You’re automatically “trans coded” if you’re a guy but like dresses, looking pretty and shaving. There’s no reason to make those feminine traits though. Real liberation means we ditch the whole thing.

  Sure, but those are still “big glass jars full of electricity”

  Asbestos is absolutely amazing. It’s super durable, fireproof, an amazing insulation for heat and electricity, it’s abrasion resistant and you can just dig it out of a hole basically for free.

  The only teeny tiny downside is that it brutally and painfully kills tens of thousands of people every year, even decades after it was banned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hertz, showing the difference between science and engineering⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, except you need to buy each bit in a big glass jar

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Usually helps me out, honestly⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A boner being a screw up. As in “being boned” or “a bonehead”. Or of course an erect penis, which would land the Joker in jail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hertz, showing the difference between science and engineering⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, it would be some 25 years until the radio was invented. And Hertz’ machine required a 30kV spark on a 2.5m meter long antenna with 2 solid 30cm zinc spheres, and his transmission range was something like “barely down the hall”.

  Not the most practical method.

  Mine has a heat lamp, like they use at your local fastfood place, except with a couple of metal nightmare devices under it.

  I pirated the DLC, it’s not really worth it

  But they’re covered in nuts

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They Asked an A.I. Chatbot Questions. The Answers Sent Them Spiraling.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Normal people respond to addiction or mental illness of people they interact with in ways not designed to make things worse.

  I love and appreciate your optimism.

  That’s not too much to ask of chatbots.

  Yes it is, because LLMs aren’t people. They don’t think or reason or consider. If someone was standing on a bridge, and a parrot said “do it, squawk, do it” you wouldn’t blame the parrot.

  Maybe you should blame the people who spent the last half decade proclaiming loudly that parrots hold all wisdom and soon parrots will take your job and rule world. Those people make billions of dollars off of parrots, but the birds themselves aren’t people and cant think.

  I feel a little judged now…

  Arresting people in the streets and trafficking them to blacksites without due process is also illegal… And yet…

  They weren’t kidding when they said “different from Pathfinder and Rogue trader”. This is VERY different.

  And standing up too straight

  And down the Conservative memory hole this friendship goes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Phrase the Prophets!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Does this just clip around the upper ear, or does it require a pierced hole?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨boymoder with bisexual cis gf⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, good. I’m not alone. I was having some difficulty parsing this meme.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Power of On Site Work⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have been emailing this guy for two weeks and getting nothing. I have been including his manager on the emails, still getting nothing

  Sounds like it stopped being your problem then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm sure it's just a coincidence that everything that can be wielded against them either just isn't implemented (good mod tooling) or doesn't work properly (user/instance blocking)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can. If you go to the website, you can go to your profile, settings, blocks and there should be a “block instance” menu there.

  Thats the default, your instance might have modified it.

  Not that it doesn’t block all users from an instance, only all the communities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The city is so lively⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But hating on cars as a blanket statement is stupid lol

  Well, I see you haven’t spent a single minute browsing that community.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bee Aware!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Getting stung by seven million bees seems like a great way to leave tight and plump corpse

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon misses the classic design⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do historical reenactment, so I figured I’d learn the sling because it’s awesome.

  Turns out it’s really really hard. After maybe 50 or 60 hours of practice, I could reliably hit the side of a house. Before that, it was indeed pretty much a crapshoot whether it even went forward.

  If I throw something I can pretty reliably hit a person sized target. With a sling, forget about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon misses the classic design⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They used slingshots during WW1, it wasn’t great

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kinda fucked up tbh⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The moon and earth are “on” a shared center of gravity. It just so happens to be inside to earth, so meh, we win.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kinda fucked up tbh⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can I define my reference frame any way I want? Because if so, yes. And also no

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kinda fucked up tbh⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you saying that people jumping ARE on earth? Because I disagree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fresh⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. Getting rid of a suddenly huge influx of water is literally what toilets are made to do.
