  is there some sex association with it? Beyond just “bone”?

  …is that not in the spirit of the original post we’re commenting on?

  For a while, I was using private browsing for everything except porn. Gotta find that good vid easily.

  Hey now!

  Mormonism also has a business characteristics.

  Is it really reddit and lemmy to blame, or is that just how groups of people… do? What else are we communicating for? Ideas meat other ideas, they interfere destructively and constructively, and new consensus is built. Repeat.

  Blaming learned behaviors and beliefs on genetics is stupid behavior and only reinforces eugenicist assumptions about humanity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nobody ever knows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  beyond genetic differences, I understand there’s also a growing body of evidence that a person’s gut microbiome plays a pretty big role in how the body processes food. I heard of a case where someone got a fecal matter transplant, their diet and level of activity didn’t change, and yet they started gaining significant more weight.

  so what, they believe in the Abrahamic deity + thetans?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nope⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It goes the other way too. Paradox solved: We’re in an island of stability, and life doesn’t get the chance to develop in denser, more chaotic regions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nope⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And “trapped” is an interesting way to frame it. I was under the impression that its a boon for life - less astronomical neighbors means less stuff to interrupt its development.

  Obama also ran a sham campaign in '08, presenting himeself as far more progressive than he really was.

  And it worked. So why has the DNC abandoned that strategy? Why can’t they countenance even so much as a falsely held progressive stance?

  Remember when red blood was all the rage?

  Oh man, that fad takes me back

  I know this is a joke, but why should the machines for doing sums also just happen to reproduce the same phenomenon that happens in a living growing meat brain?

  Goes further up the pike than that. The phrase is “in a gold rush, sell picks and shovels”. The real shovel seller is NVIDIA, with their graphics chips.

  Really, this is just an extension of the graphics chip boom crypto started. A lot of “mining” server farms transitioned smoothly into renting server time for AI training. It’s always been the same bubble: overproduction of graphics cards.

  The english speaking world may be largely secular, but its a Protestant secularity. The same pattern of behaviors and underlying assumptions just transfers over to politics.

  Every instance of Christendom leftism is actually untrue and wrong and doomed to failure except for the personal beliefs of me and maybe a few people in my local church discord group.

  And the emphasis is always on personal beliefs, rather than actual actions. It’s how you get the Lockheed Martin engineer who “hates capitalism”. Doesn’t matter that they’re contributing to the globe-spanning death machine, because they personally believe the right things in their head.

  Afghanistan used to be a major heroin producer. So much so that in the 90s, the Taliban gained a lot of local goodwill and support by driving out the poppy plantations and replacing them with wheat. When the US invaded, a lot of those former drug lords became officials in the occupational government, and heroin production skyrocketed again.

  The reductive take was that we invaded for oil. But we didn’t, it was so we could move crazy amounts of narcotics through Fort Bragg.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Documentaries and science communication in general has always been waaaay too fucking lax on properly disclosing artists’ renderings. Every field suffers from it, but I have to say astrophysics and astronomy are the absolute worst about it.

  The idiot was Zack Snyder, not the actual author of Watchmen, Allen Moor.

  In the comics, vv this vv is what Ozymandias manufactured to trick the world into peaceful deescalation. A supposed alien for all of humanity to unite against. But that’s too cartoony for Snyder, so he changed it to something more “realistic”, ironically undermining the believability of the story.

  Discovery’s last season took place in a dilapidated, far-future federation that forgot how to build Genesis Devices.

  I saw the first episode of it, was reminded that better episodes exist in TNG, and watched that instead.
