- Comment on What's the best way to answer someone who accuses you of being a bot because they don't like what you have to say? 1 week ago:
Well it’s pointless engaging with them any further.
Do what I do. Create a ChatGPT conversation, give the context and ask for a reply. See how long you can keep it up by telling the bot what reply you got from them next. You barely have tomdo anything, just cope+paste.
Its more fun to not even read anything that’s going on until the end.

Is she aware of what protein in the diet is for and how it works? Ot is she having expensive poops?

I thought we exited this phase quite a few years back. Has it made a return? Are there wheat cereals advertising protein that’ll shit straight out of me because I do zero exercise again?

By far. We didn’t get to be #1 by fucking around, and we didn’t get to be #1 without all that dominating evolution lingering around. We’re so good at it, we’re predators to ourselves because there’s no prey left to dominate. Every other species dies farmed or as a hobby.
But I can say, that if I were die be prey to something, I’d rather it be to a human. Everything else starts eating you before you’re even dead lol.

I’ve not been in Australia for some time. But I cannot express to the rest of the world enough how much Australians hate her. She’s a running joke to the nation.
Wearing a burka there is as dangerous as wearing a top hat. People will look, of course, but no one gives a shit. Some people will want to know how you’re doing that with the heat, and may even straight up ask, but in a friendly manner. But if a person gives you shit for it, watch every stranger around you decemd on that person like white blood cells protecting the nation’s culture from a toxin.
That country is a melting pot of so many nations and cultures and true Australian pride nurtures that identity.
Pauline Hanson is as Australian as Marmite.

iirc the John Hammond covers this in the book. I was so young, but something is triggering it for me. Could just be the subconscious trying to protect nostalgia, though.

I think that’s specific to mammals. Just off the top of my head…
Invertebrates? No. All out
Fish? No.
Birds? No.
Reptiles? No.
Amphibians? No.

We probably churn through that amount every six months 🫤 But would they even still exist without us? The existential crisis of the chicken.
- Comment on Not impressed 3 weeks ago:
They didn’t have one and just doubled down on them not having vertebrae so therefore weren’t part of the animal kingdom.

Yeah, we had originally thought mice until our brains went exoskeleton.
- Comment on Not impressed 3 weeks ago:
I was at a trivia night and a question was, “Apart from humans, what’s the two highest populated species in the animal kingdom?”
Now, I’m not the smartest brain inhabiting a future corpse, but I did do basics in school.
I say to my group, “Maybe plankton? But I don’t know if there’s some technicality over that being a plant or something. If I were to guess, probably ants and then flies.” We agreed and went with that.
NOPE!!!
Cats and dogs apparently!!!
This didn’t even make sense to us if considering just the mammals.
I protested.
The quiz master said “The question is about the animal kingdom.”
“Well, if insects aren’t animals, what are they?”
He dug in his heels, we weren’t getting the points. And to make things even more bizarre, most other teams said cats and/or dogs to get 1 or 2 points.
We found a new trivia night.

I think this is how you find out you’re God. Or at least _should_have god-like powers.How good are you at sadism and are you a cunt to your son? Do you often find yourself threatening billions of Ife to eternal torture if they don’t accept your love and moral superiority while worshipping you for it?

Use it all the time (UHF). But only get comms on other off-roaders, all the trucks, or caravamers. It’s very useful. I give out handhelds to friends if we’re travelling together.Honestly, phones are pretty shit in comparison.
I’m glad it’s not popular for other drivers, though. One of the main benefits is most people don’t use it, so the bands don’t get clogged with shit.
- Comment on Pow-- 5 weeks ago:
Nah, I think your brain is just defaulting to social concepts of race which is kind of ironic. It was confusing, but that seems to be the case after all.
But not enjoying the negative traits of my genetic composition and wishing I could substitute them with others is totally fine. If there was a race of humans with wings, you better fucking believe I find that a cool trait to have. They’d be ugly bat-like ones with skin and shit, but the benefits would be too good to pass up. If you want to acknowledge the social concepts of racial inferiority or superiority to the wings, or even subscribe such concepts, that’s all you. But, as you would note in my original comment, these sorts of ideas are silly to me.
And I know what horseshoe theory is. It’s mention makes absolutely no contextual sense, but it is highlighting where some people’s brains disturbingly wander off to. Won’t be dragging me along, though.
- Comment on Pow-- 5 weeks ago:
Depends where I’d geographically end up. Whatever genetic traits benefit that the most and also what I want to do the most.
For starters, I’d be preferring more melanin, but I still like my northern EU frame for swimming. Hmmm…but I would like longer legs for running. Also more east asian hair for convenience.
Having Nordic height is convenient too, but the weight is rough when falling so African lakes region is good for that.
My spawn point is prob somewhere around the Pacific. Sailing and surfing will be my jam, so if I had to select a preset, probably Tongan, but I’d rather.customise.
I dunno, what would you pick?
- Comment on Pow-- 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, like most everything, it’s a social concept.
- Comment on Pow-- 5 weeks ago:
The genetics and geographical aspects defining races are entirely a product of social behaviour favouring traits over others. It has been a very long time since our species contended with natural selection, and instead it’s also with social selection from mindsets entirely like yours.
If your brain’s going to where it went, you’re either simple or so racially conscious, you only think in social racial traits 👍
You can accuse the sun of being racist when the truth is, like all species on the planet, genetics are geographically disposed to benefit their environment. I can confidently say that those of western and central Europe have less genetic fortitude for other environments and situations around the planet. Just as a Clydesdale doesn’t race and a Thoroughbred doesn’t haul load.
Get your head out of the social racist gutter. I’m allowed to be displeased with my genetic traits, especially when I never had a say in the matter.
- Comment on Pow-- 5 weeks ago:
I don’t really understand white supremecy from a fundamental level. Like, genetically, we’re pretty crap. If there were racial selection on the character creation screen of life, I wouldn’t have rolled this inferior shit.
