  Also, some doctors look for signs of low pain tolerance rather than just pain. So the ability to maintain composure despite pain can be taken as a sign that there isn’t any pain.

  I wish statements like that made LLMs explode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to New York City⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but does that site differentiate between speeding and parking tickets? In my area you can rack up any amount of parking fines and the most it’ll do is you might need to pay them off before you can renew.

  But yeah, you get points for speeding past a certain amount over the limit, running lights, and other violations that concern the way you move (on public roads, parking lots are free for alls, though a DUI is a DUI even on private property).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to New York City⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Those are usually for moving violations, not things like parking fines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to New York City⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I was happy to see a city near me had marked some sidewalk space as bike lanes on an expanded sidewalk.

  Or maybe he realized that if he hadn’t had a special occasion by then, maybe he should just wear his shoes and get some enjoyment out of them instead of saving them for some vague moment that might never come or maybe he wouldn’t even think about the shoes until after if it did. Or maybe such an occasion did come up and he did forget the shoes until after and then just decided to wear them to work.

  Or he works a white collar job and had a presentation or something so it was a special occasion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy birds⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably just a random instinct that was reinforced by survival of the fittest (at group population levels) because it meant that group didn’t contaminate their nests or water with the dead, which would also attract scavengers that might also try to prey on living penguins when there weren’t any already dead handy.

  Or maybe they go to get frozen so that when a future penguin solves the problem of death, they can go and unfreeze the frozen penguins and use that massive undead penguin army to conquer more southern islands.

  I wish their leader had realized that what he did wasn’t something you could just back down from and that his life was on the line either way.

  It’s capped in practical terms by the highest score a test can be given. Unless getting a perfect just means you have another harder round.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨average physics student vs POTUS 47⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they mean more the difference between what rules it follows and why it follows those rules. It sounds like we know more about the “what” but not much about the “why” for magnets (or any of the fundamental forces).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you tried amphetamines?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon pets a dog⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There have been documented healthy wolf attacks in North America. en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_wolf_attacks_in_North_…

  Some on the list are rabid, but the list also includes both captive and predative wolf attacks, including fatalities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am fully optimized. AMA⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s for functional. If you want to test optimized, can you run Crysis?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good point⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are you assuming it isn’t consensual?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is unimpressed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They also did a lot of work with water management to control/reduce flooding. Once upon a time they had a bunch of coastal marshland and seasonal floodlands but invested significantly in infrastructure and solved that back in the medieval age.

  21. Article Writer

  Once upon a time, humans liked to read articles written by other humans. Since these human writers were capable of doing more than just predicting the next token, they were able to maintain a sense of coherency and continuity through their articles and could write lists that referenced other items, especially when they were closely related, instead of each item just following an intro, brief description, conclusion format that gets quite repetitive. But then text predictors got good enough to predict coherent sentences that are often even accurate and can follow a given theme or topic and websites thought no one would care since it was mostly marketing and propaganda by then anyways and dropped the human writers into active volcanoes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that as a puzzle before.

  Actually looks like a pretty good (difficult) puzzle, what with how prevalent the blue is. I just did one that has a similar amount of dark purple and it was a nice challenge (paired with a rule against examining pieces and the picture at the same time, as doing that trivialized the puzzle I did before that one).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Differences of Opinion by Wendy Cope⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or ask if round earth is a massive conspiracy, what’s the angle? How does getting people to believe in a flat earth rather than a round one serve an agenda to the point where even a simple test that could prove the flatness always “goes wrong”? And if they say that the experimenters get threatened or something, why do they generally remain as confused flat earthers afterwards? If they were going to be threatened, why half-ass it and let them continue pushing flat earth instead of making them change sides?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmm..⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What a bitch!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I vaguely remember these but forgot what they were for⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is what rich people are talking about when they refer to cuff links. They are fancy jewelry that keeps your sleeves closed after you cut a slot in them to fit your beefy hands through but don’t use elastics or wizard sleeves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So unfair⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, those gen Z folks probably didn’t develop those vapes and didn’t set the stage for the legal changes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So unfair⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still have one of those somewhere. Pretty sure it’s all clogged to shit.

  My first weed vape looked like an asthma puffer lol. A couple more recent ones looked like zippo lighters (for 510 carts).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  WoW had it for intercity travel. Maybe it still does, feels weird that that game is still around lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A warning from Norm Macdonald⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t say “never”. Eventually, some of them will get old and understand it firsthand.

  Though the worst part is how perception of time is inversely proportional to enjoyment of said time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bummer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Skyrim came out closer to 9/11 than to today.

  Who knows, maybe he decided to repent and is just still holding the sign because dropping it would be littering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's a no⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll merge early but also try to go a bit slower than the person in front of me to open a gap which allows me to absorb some of the traffic wave (where flow alternatively speeds up and slows down from people trying to get up to speed only to have to slam on the brakes because some car ahead wasn’t going fast enough to maintain that), as well as leave space for others to merge at speed.

  Though I sometimes close the gap if I notice people pulling into the right lane to try to skip the line.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flipper!!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they are stupid enough that they believe appeal to authority has any meaning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If online services (such as Netflix) only ever raise their prices, does that mean they offer less and less value for money as time passes?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Though changing content goes both ways. Just this past week I was looking at the new releases on Netflix and saw they had added a new season of Harley Quinn and checked the info to see if it was the 3rd like I remembered and it seems that they simultaneously removed the earlier seasons.

  And in general, I think there have been more good things lost than added, not to mention the way Netflix writes shows for people who aren’t paying attention is annoying as someone who does. Fuck off with repeating all the relevant information every single time it comes up.
