  Maybe it's not AI slop, but we're just too dumb to understand it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He was no friend to the middle class⁩ ⁨⁨41⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago⁩:

  Even though if you didn't tell them about the part they're missing, they wouldn't realize because it's so little of the whole. But they have to have every damn cent they can grab.

  We don't know for sure. Maybe he was in terrible pain, briefly. Let's just keep that possibility to make us feel better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Being poor is expensive⁩ ⁨⁨56⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually considered getting an ebike once to get to work, but then started mapping out a good route to take and realized the infrastructure isn't designed for that kind of travel. Bonus, it would be at night, so statistically someone in a car would be a threat to me eventually, because bike lanes are a joke.

  I don't celebrate. But I do use Grumpy Cat's line. Then move on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemmyshitpost is my trusted source⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Major news is going to get spread first where all the people are. It's been said for a long time that the meme and funny areas are where you learn stuff, and the real value is always in the comments, not the main post.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do bumblebees die under the tilia?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  If starvation due to the nectar is the cause, then my next question would be, what is the major pollinator for the trees? Or is what they get from everything good enough that evolution doesn't kick in to make this a dead end feature for the tree. Maybe their blooming cycle is different than others, so they tend to dominate at that time and get enough activity even with the deaths?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Being poor is expensive⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I knew as I wrote it that it would be far more complex than just setting a single law down. But the fact that such cost of time and money just to get to work exists suggests the burden isn't balanced well. The case you mention of distance to a job is more a symptom of the problem of not being more localized for everything. Not just an American problem, but definitely something we deal with outside of a few major urban areas. A pay adjustment doesn't fix that, it just is a rough patch that wouldn't work for some.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Being poor is expensive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder how infrastructure would change if companies were required to reimburse valid claims of mileage or time spent (not the bus/train fare, but paying your wage for the time spent to get to work).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨myrmecology⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It's true, watch the documentary "Phase IV". Preferably the director's cut.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zebra!!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It just fueled the debate more. I don't see a lack of stripes, I see an oversized stripe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Naive boys have no clue⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope, just commenting on the characteristic look that is seen on YT and the like now. Has nothing to do with the actual painting and subject.

  But to answer the question, why couldn't she be the painter?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Naive boys have no clue⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Even back then the social media appearance was more important than the relationship.

  (not saying all women are like that, but we all know a lot are)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your thoughts on people who say hate speech is free speech?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In a larger scale of rights overall, your rights to do something should end when it restricts other people's rights. No one person should be above another. Not really how the world works, but it's the idealistic goal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Examples of roles where actors from Star Trek give better performances than they did on Star Trek?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Any of his roles are awesome, but I'd hold McCoy up there with the rest. I believed he was the doctor. Criticize the script for lines and actions, but Karl nailed the mannerisms. As he always does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come all the crap like satellites that we put into space...it never hits a rocket or the ISS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Planes are a good analogy. Pull up any flight tracker map, and zoomed out it's like the sky is full of planes. How can they miss each other? But then you zoom into a scale that makes more sense, and realize that usually there's lots of room in three dimensions between them all, with ones going different directions being at different altitudes to be able to cross paths when they do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come all the crap like satellites that we put into space...it never hits a rocket or the ISS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The extra protection on things like the ISS is for more than just man made debris. The Earth is a big gravity well, constantly pulling in and running into things in space. That's what meteors are, usually small specks of rocks, and the Earth's atmosphere is like a windshield being driven in rain or snow (or bugs, but that doesn't happen as much anymore :( ).

  Be sure to get the correct one!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The holy trinity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Two thousand years is just the most recent stuff. I agree that ancient history in general is fascinating, when the realization hits that during things you learn about in a sentence or two, whole generations lived and died. And many more generations don't even have anything about them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even women without an medical issue need time for their body to catch up to the mental readiness. What you see in most porn is totally incorrect. If all is okay, 15-30 minutes of foreplay (on the rest of her body, touch is a huge thing) is best before any actual sexual action. There are some good Youtube channels that cover how to prepare a woman's body, with the key elements being lots of touching all over, and not rushing into it. The human female body has to be convinced it is safe and secure, even if you feel turned on, but once the parts are relaxed, sex is not painful at all.

  That being said, a lot of the other comments seem to pinpoint one direction to talk to a doctor about. If even your own touching hurts, something isn't right. But once you figure that out, teach your partner to help you get both mentally and physically ready and take time to enjoy it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That's not a healthy work wife relationship then. If they're jealous or hostile towards your actual spouse, that's a problem waiting to happen. They should be happy that their work partner has a good life outside work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Femality is stored in the nipples⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You're absolutely right. For good reason, they're wonderful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Femality is stored in the nipples⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dived in a bit, and I will concede that sexual use is not the main reason, since they evolved from primates and previous species in order to produce milk. But all other species don't have them constantly enlarged. Studies show that there are many factors at play, such as providing more area of touch for the human infant and perhaps a more constant source of food since human infants take longer to mature. But they did develop the use for sexual signalling too when we became upright, if for nothing else than for showing sexual maturity. The human brain has probably evolved along with those changes to select which characteristics evolved more pronounced.

  So they have multiple uses. The very fact that they are a subconscious trigger for the male has to mean something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Femality is stored in the nipples⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with the first. I think evolution would disagree with the second. The main purpose for partial display (aka cleavage) is enticement for attracting potential mates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I used to be an uber eats driver and lowkey⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As typical with social media comments, half of them aren't even concerned about the driver blatantly stealing food. It's about attacking the person using the service without knowing the details. And I don't anyone brought up how shitty the driver gets paid (the ones who actually do the job right).

  I know the response - then get another job. That's silently approving the company's methodology, nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bone⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Alan Dean Foster wrote a scif novel called Nor Crystal Tears that was mainly from the pov of an alien insect species. The differences were explored in body structure and culture and the confusion when they run across these weird humans with their bones on the inside... and they made obscene noises with their flapping flesh things on their head.

  So AI of the future will be more useful in more cases and use less energy and other resources. Based on... nothing within the AI technology, but on a very loose analogy.

  Without a banana I have no idea of what might be true here.
