They justified it as something to do with fish/shellfish not having the same kind of pain receptors and consciousness that “real” animals do and argued it was more akin to consuming fungi and bacteria
I don’t agree with them, and I do agree with everything you said here. I’m just saying, based on experiences in the field, when someone says to me “I’m vegan” internally I’m like “cool, so you eat whatever you want, just like everyone else” 😂
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 days ago:
I’ve known people who called themselves vegan and still ate fish, there are basically no rules

They should balance it out with quiet hours or something. Or maybe a silent sauna and a chatty sauna
- Comment on Anon steams up the sauna 2 days ago:
I also wonder, if he had said something normal immediately after entering it probably would have been fine. Imagine sitting in silence next to someone for 10 minutes and then they ask you a question. That’s weirder to me.

It’s a little more complicated than this, but basically it’s just a smaller, faster convection oven. They’re cool but not lifechanging IMO

Microwaves are cool in theory but in practice the food is almost always soggy and mushy. Maybe I just don’t know how to use them, but I’m rarely happy with the result. Even reheating leftovers, I’d rather do in a saucepan

Lol which is so silly because you already won’t be taxed on tipped income if you don’t report it 😂

Well of course none of it is real, but you can still track the origins of specific theological ideas/beliefs from the various individual authors, councils, etc.

It’s in the beginning of Dante’s Inferno, not sure where he got the idea from.

IIRC the virtuous pagans went to purgatory

The Covid lockdowns made me feel crazy. There I was, sitting at home playing video games and smoking weed all day, every day, like God intended. Meanwhile, my roommate was going stir crazy because he really wanted to go back to work. I still don’t understand it.

Would you call an old school thermometer (that uses melting and congealing wax to open/shut a vent) AI?
- Comment on I'm not sure they will 1 week ago:
Why don’t you actually try this and see how it goes?
I work for a landscaping company, my boss tried to get us to use AI to develop site plans… we went back to doing it the old fashioned way because AI is fuckin useless for stuff like this.

I think all the time about how a lot of boomer guys know how to work on cars real well.
This is because most of them took auto shop classes in high school.
As a millenial, I’m great with computers… because I learned how to use them in school. It appears that after I left school, educators were like “welp, kids know how to use computers now!” and stopped teaching kids how to use computers in school. This is both bonkers and mind numbing. I also wish I knew more about working on cars. Anyway.

This is a perfect example of why I’ve never used AI and never will.
when using AI you always have a verifier script afterwards
LOL. Sounds like you’re wasting 110% time here.

I turned off spellcheck and autocorrect years ago when I first got a smartphone, and never looked back.
- Comment on I'm not sure they will 1 week ago:
Hi, I work in the trades. AI is not a regular part of my life. I have never used any of these chatbots because they seem… half-cooked. Like an Early Access game on Steam. Anyway, the whole thing has zero relevance to my job.
“you’d have to complete isolate to avoid it and it’s reach entirely.”
Nah. I mean, obviously for you, teaching computer science, I can see why you feel this way. But lots of people truly never engage with this stuff because it’s pretty underwhelming. My main interaction with AI thus far has been telling my doctor not to use the chatbot that puts lies into people’s medical records, and that’s about it.
“Online search is ass”
Isn’t this, like, explicitly because of AI?

My truck doesn’t have working heat and never had AC, and I will never stop driving that POS.
- Comment on Life is hard 1 week ago:
It’s not about temperature is about condensation and humidity. Turn on the AC regardless of temp (e.g. even if it’s cooler out and you’re blasting the heat) and the defog too.

- Comment on Disgusted 1 week ago:
It’s not really about the borders per se, but it is about territory. Russians feel they need land (specifically railroad) access to the Sevastopol naval base in Crimea. Russia itself doesn’t have any warm water ports—they all freeze in the winter. So, during the Soviet Union, the Crimean peninsula was developed as an international port and naval base. The infrastructure was built with taxes from all the Soviet citizens, including a lot of Russians, under the assumption that Russia, as part of the Soviet Union, would have access to that port in perpetuity. As a result, some Russians feel ownership over this naval base, even though it’s deep in Ukrainian territory.
I don’t think Putin really cares about the Donbas much, except that it can be territory to protect access to the port.
Russian strategic anxiety about not having a warm water port is quite literally older than America. This is some Peter the Great-era (early 1700’s) shit. I’m not excusing any of it, but I rarely hear anyone talk about this stuff in the English language media even though it’s like. The primary reason for the war.

This post and the one you’re responding to are basically restating the screenshot in the OP, and you’re the person who’s being unpleasant.
These laws harm more they help and you’ve provided several examples in your post, you just apparently don’t see them.
- Comment on Food served to US service men & women. 1 week ago:
You can order fries with gravy and cheese at most diners in America (even if you have to go off-menu, anywhere that has both fries and biscuits ‘n’ gravy could do it). Sometimes known as disco fries
Not exactly poutine, but close enough when no fresh curds are available.

- Comment on Food served to US service men & women. 1 week ago:
They were nicknamed the “ice cream ships” because they had refrigerated holds and freezers, but in reality they moved all kinds of food and perishable supplies, a lot more than just ice cream.
The USN was no doubt very good at logistics in the 40’s, but they didn’t have so much excess capacity they could dedicate entire ships to ice cream.
