  Up front, huh? 🤔 what I’m hearing is that we need an iBooty to act as a counterweight.

  Honestly a bargain considering how much speakerless breast implants cost. Do they come in subwoofer?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intelligent Design⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Optimization was never the goal. It just has to function well enough for a sufficient portion of the species to reproduce.

  I’m willing to bet a good number of them don’t live that way off camera. Some are selling a fantasy to those it appeals to. Others might be trying to convince themselves that they are happy through positive feedback. I know women who genuinely enjoy being mothers and homemakers, but they also aren’t the types to be documenting their lives on social media and peddling a lifestyle.

  From my observation, unless you have a kind and caring partner, the “tradwife” life gets tiring quickly when eventually the love and care you put into your home becomes part of routine and taken for granted, or when freedom is withheld from you because your partner decides his opinion matters more since you don’t contribute financially.

  Banana is a horrible thing to practice on, I agree, BUT this is a frame from a real video before the sloppening lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New project, new energy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What helped me was quantifying my goals for the project. “Finish it” is too vague and daunting. Sometimes you’ll hit a roadblock and sometimes it’s just not going to work out like you hoped. Set yourself a deadline until which you’ll keep working on it before you decide you have better uses for your time. And within that deadline, set small daily goals like “work on project for X minimum amount of time” (once you start even for a short time, you’re more likely to keep going past that). If by the deadline you’ve lost interest, you can allow yourself to abandon the project without guilt because you know you’ve done the best you can. It only works if you are honest with yourself though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a way to make a proportional timeline out of an Excel or CSV file⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would do something similar to what you did: create a scatter plot using the years as your x-axis to make the spacing between them proportional, hide the y-axis, but also add labels to the date and event columns whose data you are using for your chart so that Excel can automatically update the data labels to the chart in case you change or add any events.

  There’s a humping joke in there too somewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Your Honor, I was only trying to make his life more meaningful” doesn’t really hold up well in court.

  I would argue that challenges are a part of what give life meaning rather than suffering because they can teach us resourcefulness, resilience, gratitude, and provide a sense of accomplishment after completion. But challenges don’t have to include suffering, and the meaning isn’t always a positive thing.

  Ultimately it’s up to each individual to decide what gives their life meaning. Who’s to say everything needs to have a meaning anyway? .

  There are valid reasons for disliking AI (rather, how it’s being used) and I’ll upvote when a relevant, informed argument is made against it. Otherwise I’ll mentally filter out the low-effort comments that just say “fuck AI” with dozens of upvotes.

  Multiple men multiple jars

  (I’m so sorry. It was the first thing that came to mind when I thought “one”).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THIS is always the correct response⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s like saying “you can’t fire me, I quit!”. Better to either accept it and be happy to have a good friend, or limit contact with that person if you find it hard to be around them knowing that they’re not romantically/sexually interested.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any AI services that don't work on stolen data?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some machine learning models are trained on what’s called synthetic data, which is generated specifically for that purpose and mimics real-world data. What I don’t know is how much of the data used is synthetic vs. stolen.

  If you feel highly confident that you don’t want children now or in the future, that is reason enough to have a vasectomy. You have the option of freezing your sperm too in case you have doubts but still want to go through with the procedure now.

  Ooh, that looks good. I had to look up how it looks. I learned to cook a lot of new different things simply because I wanted foods that are extremely uncommon where I live.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Back in my day this MF was .29 cents and was THICK with INGREDIENTS⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It must be so nice to have a variety of high quality breads to choose from. Authentic whole grain and rye breads are hard to find in my country. I’m sure Americans have access to different types of artisan breads, but the type used in fast food seems horribly over-processed and sugary.

  Even with good bread, I like to be able to taste all the ingredients in the sandwich. Higher ingredient-to-bread ratios.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Back in my day this MF was .29 cents and was THICK with INGREDIENTS⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Haha, I love how enthusiastic and forgiving OP is when it comes to these things. I’ve never had one, but higher prices and less ingredients/filling seems to be an unfortunate trend everywhere. Most sandwiches I see lately are 90% bread.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Heat pumps first extract heat from the outside air before moving it indoors (I don’t know the exact mechanics of it). The colder it is outside, the more energy is needed to do this. When it’s cooling, it only moves the heat from inside to outside.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re great, aren’t they?

  Heat pumps normally use more electricity to heat than to cool, so it’s surprising that the opposite was happening for you.

  My bills have always been lower in the summer. The only time the bills have been unusually high was when there was a problem with the connection between the main electrical supply and the pump, causing it to keep restarting and use more energy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What companies manufacture ancient musical instruments?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My guess is that many ancient instruments would be custom ordered from a luthier or other craftsman who specializes in a specific group of instruments. It would help to know which instrument you are looking for or which region it comes from.

  My suggestion would be to date whoever you like and have a good connection with without worrying how it will be perceived by others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You don’t see articles like this about moms with three two jobs who still manage to take care of their kids.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s short-sighted not to realize that treating people with dignity will improve their motivation and productivity. My work also has a generous policy for time off, but my colleagues are still considerate when they use it by making sure the important things are done before they leave and that the rest of us will be able to handle things in their absence. There will always be a handful of people who abuse the privilege, but they need to be dealt with individually.

  From my observation, the types to work late and have no time off either take an immense satisfaction in working or are avoiding something to come home to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You don’t see articles like this about moms with three two jobs who still manage to take care of their kids.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s infuriating is that having no work-life balance is promoted as a positive. Sure there are people who are really devoted to their work and thrive on it, but that should be seen as voluntary and not expected. Working long hours also doesn’t necessarily mean you are working efficiently or using your full potential the entire time.
