• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon contracts herpes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t find my penis in the trash bin.

  but have you looked behind the couch?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon contracts herpes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  is it? i honestly have no idea?

  what are the implications on quality of life of various STDs? how “bad” is it to catch herpes? is it even worth avoiding it? (as i read somewhere that most people catch it eventually anyways.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon describes their dream home⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  well i might be wrong about this but last time i checked all infrastructure of modern society (and i assume that includes houses and cities) takes up about 3% of our land. That is not so much, if you compare it to agriculture which takes up much more (i forgot the exact number). So i would argue that gardens aren’t the biggest problem.

  Frankly, if you have ten billion people on a planet, of course it’s gonna impact the environment. There is no way to avoid that. I wouldn’t start nitpicking with whether people can have a garden or not, though. A garden can help people with a fresh source of vegetables which can improve health and wellbeing, and strengthen independence and community-building, maybe, if the garden is shared or vegetables are distributed among neighbours. It also reduces the transport distance for vegetables which saves on emissions. So, a garden can be a meaningful part of human life, i’d argue.

  well you can’t blame it all on “living on the edge of a city”. IMO HOAs have done a substantial part of the harm, creating the sterile and hostile-to-teenage-life experience, and then there’s zoning laws which make it impossible to get communal activity, like a small bar or club right between the houses, and then there’s the lack of public transport …

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You should practice on vegetables before in gauging with the real thing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i tried but it doesn’t feel well because of the texture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays old games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  … and that’s why 4chan went offline. because there’s nothing new to be said anymore. it has all been said already anyways

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a way out?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it doesn’t fit into the capitalism system where research needs to be packaged in a standardized format, otherwise how much money would you exchange for it? Also it would be abused by people trying to make a quick buck by doing effectively less research. Such a system as you described is only for the truly free, not for the wage-slaves who have to prove they did effort.

  something something autism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doggo of Theseus⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What are you saying? Is it still the same species if a generation passes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨use it on strangers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  extinction is when the great library burns down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨use it on strangers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  most genetic differences happen on the biochemical level, i.e. different hormones and metabolism. superficial appearance is only a (very) small part of what defines a species. so i guess the answer is: not really, no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Covergent Evolution⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s a good thing that the oceans never left you. you carry them inside you everywhere you go. blood is salty because it’s a simulacrum of the ocean that we once surrounded ourselves with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do European Leftist call their government's right wing despite having free healthcare?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Left” and “right” mean very different things for different people. People can’t even agree on the definition. Just to give you a clear example: today’s “leftists” are pro-immigration, while practically all leftists before 1990 were not so much pro immigration.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Full Circle⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  btw, do you think americans would still go to africa if it turns out to be/become communistic? i.e., no or restricted private ownership of land, …

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Full Circle⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  hey that’s racist (slight /s as that is literally the reasoning that i see many people use here as an argument why to not block immigration)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is staying at a hotel⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah, especially with car dealerships i get your point.

  for restaurants/groceries/similar things, i have a similar strategy: i go there once and pay whatever price they ask. then, at home, i think about whether it was ok or not, and i might not go there again if it was a bad deal. saves me a ton of money in the future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets outed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i suppose a large part of the misery of school is because most people who go there don’t actually want to go there, so that sets it up as a place for suffering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets outed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  unfortunately, yes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Full Circle⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  roko’s basilisk or sth

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Full Circle⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i have come to the conclusion that there is a god and a heaven, alright, but it’s a cruel place that i would never ever ever want to go to. ever

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Full Circle⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  wait isn’t there some christian story about exactly that … 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Full Circle⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i think you use “emigrating” when leaving their homes behind, but here it is part of the joke that they no longer see the US as their home. instead, they’re seeing europe/whatever other country as their new “home”, so they’re immigrating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Full Circle⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Would be ironic if we had to go to Africa because life there is better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I had no idea y cunt was this powerful⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  so … that makes me straight now? 🙈 i’m confused … but also amused :P

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I had no idea y cunt was this powerful⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon makes life choices⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are most people here left-wing?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  if by left-wing you mean i think more than 3 months ahead, then yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ggplot2 is love. ggplot2 is life.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  that is manual labor each time you run the script, while plotting in python re-makes the plot automatically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ggplot2 is love. ggplot2 is life.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the reason to make plots programmatically is typically because you’re already processing the data in python in ways that would have been too complicated if you’d do it in excel a table calculation program.
