  that would be so fucking cold. i bet you would injure yourself sticking a bunch of frozen stuff up your butt. idk if it would be serious or not but theres some sensitive tissue and a lot of blood flow through there.

  like we dont love them for it. be honest youve pet a cat just to annoy them before. my cats definitely yell at me just to annoy me. when they do it i sometimes annoy them by picking them up and giving them lots of kisses or turning them upside down lol. the joy of living with cats is their complex personalities, and part of that is them being kind of an asshole sometimes, but turnabout is fair play.

  its not actually more profitable though. its only more profitable today, at the expense of future profits. this is more a problem caused by personal gain being directly linked to short term corporate gain. its only rational behavior from the perspective of the individual executives benefitting from the crazy compensation packages for laying everyone off and enshittifying the product. literally everyone else loses unless they get lucky and bail at just the right moment.

  i think it was more that they were all really big and couldn’t survive a massive resource restriction. we dont have the same problems, being omnivorous generalists who can eat pretty much anything. if something like the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs happened to us a lot of us would die sure, but the species would survive. we could still get power from wind, dams, fossil fuels, and nuclear, and grow food indoors using grow lights. most people wouldnt make it but most likely enough would that wed still have a stable breeding population when the dust settled.

  we have hair all over our bodies. most of it is vellous hair though so it isnt as visible. we just have far less terminal hair than other primates, but the hair density isnt that much lower. as far as the head hair growing long, its not that its unnecessary its just for different purposes than most animal fur. head hair is primarily social, and people like people with long hair, so theres a social benefit to having nice head hair that can grow long. its so ingrained that being completely bald is socially isolating to some extent, especially for women.

  this feels like one of those shrink wrapped dinosaur situations. like they arent doing a good job estimating how her soft tissue would have been distributed at all. why are her eyebrows so low, why are her cheeks so lean, why is there so much tissue below her lips, why is her hairline so high and with a bit of a widows peak? it feels like they put a mans tissue distribution on a womans frame completely uncritically and called it good.

  evidently a lot of games dont compress their audio files at all, so a ton of data is wasted on that by itself. theres really no excuse for that because there are plenty of lossless compression algorithms and compressed files will often have faster loading times because the disk read speed is the limiting factor even with the added computational cost of the decompression. thats also true for all the other game files such as textures and meshes and whatnot, which are often also uncompressed.

  because it was never vital to survival to have fewer bones. evolution is a term that does a ton of conceptual heavy lifting but has sadly been warped by ignorance and a lack of understanding of the nuance of what is really happening.

  somehow, life existed. we dont really know how it got started but it did. due to the laws of physics and thermodynamics, some life died and some life lived. that went on for a long ass time until today we see the stuff that has survived to now. evolution just says life changes over time because some life dies without reproducing and some life reproduces before dieing. thats it. its a statement about the effect of survivorship bias over the long term existence of life.

  so why didnt animals evolve to have fewer bones? because it never mattered enough to happen. things kept on surviving with the number of bones they have. we can look at them and say their body would function better with more or fewer bones, or different chemistry, or different soft tissue, or whatever you like. but none of those things mattered enough to happen, or if they did happen they werent better enough to change anything at the time. but also animals do have different numbers of bones, just not so different.

  i wish i could describe this better, but evolution isnt an active process. if you have to think of it as a thing, keep in mind that it produces only what barely works. every adaptation we have was developed by the deaths of countless individuals, so we only have it because at some point it was necessary, or so benefitial it couldn’t help but propagate. having way less bones was never either of those things.

  there is a distinct you, its all the cells with your dna, and theres no bacteria inside your body. your stomach and intestines are functionally a well controlled part of the outside of your body. bacteria being inside you is an infection and is generally considered bad for your health. by mass the vast majority of your body is your own cells, so implying most of your body is stuff thats “not you” is pretty hyperbolic.

  your argument that it would probably be bad to kill these mites is an appeal to nature. just because theyre there doesnt mean they serve a vital function. im sure there are any number of disorders caused by them, but whether there are any caused by them being absent neither of us can say. maybe there is, maybe there isnt. its possible that no one can say at the moment.

  totally. my latest ex is pretty socialist and anticapitalist, and i agreed with them on pretty much everything they said, but they drank the coolaid on using classical communist jargon to talk about stuff. half the time they would use definitions for words that were, to be generous, at odds with commonly accepted definitions. then they would get pissy and the discussion would devolve into semantics because they would only accept those definitions, while i was trying to use the normal definitions because of fucking course i would. so would almost everyone else. so in order to talk to them about government or politics without causing some kind of misunderstanding i would have to read a bunch of communist literature from the 1800s. i confronted them with the fact that this is a problem for the movement in general and they should be more straight forward with their words, but they just got pissy again.

  it really sucks as a situation because theyre right, they just cant fathom that you cant expect people to read a bunch of old ass books in order to understand wtf theyre saying. add to that the jargon has been coopted and memed to death so every conservative gets triggered like a sleeper agent hearing the code word to execute their mission, we should probably abandon it and just talk in simple practical terms people can understand.

  i just want to say this is adorable. it sounds like you feel safe and cool to them so you constantly get chosen to spend time with. it takes a village, and in some small way you’re doing your part. i know its annoying sometimes, but you might look back fondly on your time helping out some annoying kids in a game some day. i dont really have any specific advice though, good luck haha.

  im guessing he also has some degree of androgen insensitivity. having crazy high testosterone youd expect large muscles, lots of facial hair, male pattern baldness, a low voice, but hes not that big, has at least thin facial hair that he shaves, a full head of hair, and a relatively high voice. idk if any version of androgen insensitivity is associated with very high testosterone levels but i wouldn’t be surprised.

  thats stupid in so many ways. nevermind the mountain of evidence that we evolved on this planet, two people cannot found a stable population. their children would be fine, but after that they’re speed running inbreeding. it would only take a few generations for all kinds of genetic problems to start coming up and they would only get worse.

  i wonder if teaching them to write bare metal embedded software first would prime them to learn about operating systems. i studied mechanical engineering in school so a bit different education than cs. i know i didnt really get what an operating system was for until i worked on some bare metal software in aerospace. nothing teaches you the value of something faster than trying to do without it.
