The last thing my naked ass wants in the shower is a knife.

While that could make it worse, a sharp knife won’t avoid it completely.

Depends on the meme, and some can fit into more than one format.
- Comment on Why does most of the US blame Saudi Arabia for the 9/11 attacks? Al-Qaeda may have been trained there but that doesn't makes Saudi's responsible does it? 4 days ago:
15 of the 19 attackers were citizens of Saudi Arabia, and I was pretty sure their training for the attack was in Afghanistan. The US used the horror of the attack to invade Iraq, which had nothing to do with the attacks.
People pointing out the citizenship of the majority of the attackers isn’t blaming the country of Saudi Arabia, it is highlighting that the official narrative to justify invading Iraq was bullshit.

It varies from person to person. Clearly you know of an example where the power comes into it.
I enjoy it more when the women are actually lesbians/bi and into it because seeing two people I find attractive doing sexy things means more of what I want to seeas with any porn, if they are into it then that makes it even better.
- Comment on Is the gripe against AI the same as CGI when first being used? 1 week ago:
No.
CGI partially replaced one part of media and was similartoo how films replaced a lot of stage plays. It was a step forward and allowed things to be done that couldn’t before to increase immersion. The main complaints were that they took the jobs of one profession, and it didn’t take all the jobs.
AI, as in LLMs and GenAI images and videos, are plagiarism machines implemented to deceive users with low quality slop and are primarily used to justify mass firings of the work force, promote misinformation, and vomit out such a tidal wave of shit that it is ruining the internet and how customers interact with businesses. It is also ruining the environment, wrecking the economy for everyone except the wealthy, and tons of other negative outcomes.
They are superficially similar technologies but not even close with the context of how they are being used and the scope of negative impacts.

- Comment on 20 Jobs that people once thought were irreplaceable are now just memories 1 week ago:
These individuals illegally exhumed bodies from graveyards and sold them to medical institutions.
Criminal enterprise counts as a job?
List includes both switchboard operators and switchboard managers. Where is the pin setter manager? The elevator operator manager?
Projectionists were responsible for operating film projectors in movie theaters, ensuring that films were displayed correctly for audiences.
Projectionist is still a job that exists even if the tools they use has changed.
Typesetters still exist even if their tools have changed.
Looking ahead, what other jobs might we see fade away as new technologies and trends emerge?
I bet this article is clickbait for ‘AI is going to take jobs’.

Trump is the harmful kind of joke, like those that perpetuate racist stereotypes.
- Comment on In a state that offers legal aid is it worth it? Or is it pretty much the bottom of the barrel for defense and compensation? 1 week ago:
The biggest reason that a public defenders struggle sometimes is because they have more limited time and resources compared to private defenders who can generally scale effort with the amount of money thrown at them. That is mainly an issue with society’s priorities, since we throw far more money at prosecutors.

You can be proud of fooling someone like me who had not had enough coffee yet into thinking you were serious, well played.
- Comment on Block 1 week ago:
Adding a horizontal reflecting shelf the length of the hallway is far less likely than lining up reflections. It doesn’t even make sense.
If you start with the hallway floor and then mark out the same distance as a reflection it all matches up.
- Comment on : Do people who were blind from birth see anything in their dreams, or is it just audio and textures? 1 week ago:
I was thinking about how dreams are just our brains processing visual data from our waking lives.
Do you not have sounds and or other sensory experiences in your dreams?
- Comment on Block 1 week ago:
It looks like it from the perspective, but there is no shelf. All the reflections just line up to look that way.

The developers shouldn’t be opposed to players choosing to use saves however they want. They can encourage something, sure, but intentionally limiting players whose preferences don’t match theirs is crappy design.

- Comment on Well done, all of you! 2 weeks ago:
When it comes to traffic people have wildly different ideas about things.
Some people think slow means 5 mph slower on the highway when others are talking about 15+ slower in center lanes generally for faster traffic. Local expectations about behaving in traffic means someone waiting closer to a merge is just doing the right thing for a zipper merge and other people are used to assholes raving to the merge and then forcing themselves in.
People often also thing of the other behaviors of drivers that do certain things that makes one thing more dangerous. In my experience drivers who are significantly slower in traffic by 10-15 mph on the highway frequently do rapid lane changes without signaling, brake suddenly for no reason, and other signs that they really should not be driving a vehicle. People who don’t drive on highways is not going to be thinking of that kind of speed disparity or the dangers if they drive 45 or under where going 15 mph less is annoying but not really dangerous.
Communication about things that have wildly different experiences means people talking past each other leads to arguments.

Also going significantly slower than traffic and changing multiple lanes at once, slowing down far too early for an exit, going very slow in the middle lane so traffic flows around both sides, and some others as well. Basically if the car is going slow enough to be comparable to something stationary in the road it can be a hazard.
But it really does have to be wildly different from traffic, not just 10-15 mph different.
- Comment on Be The Sunshine ☀️ 2 weeks ago:
Going significantly slower than the rest of traffic can be dangerous in a limited number of scenarios, but not frequently enough for people to bring it up in casual conversation.

Fortunately, most people aren’t addicted to certain foods to the same level some get addicted to smoking, drinking, or other drugs.
Smoking, drinking, and other drugs have a clear shory term withdrawal process. Since eat regularly it hides the symptoms of food cravings for a massive number of people which is a large part of why we have an obesity epidemic.
- Comment on What is the point of this community compared to asklemmy? 2 weeks ago:
ofen on mulitple instance e.g. !asklemmy@lemmy.ml and !asklemmy@lemmy.world which are both pretty active.
The best part of the fediverse is that a community like asklemmy is not limited to instances like ml if it was created there first.
