Since I saw that primates have a sense of humor, things like this don’t surprise me as much, because it’s not like they’re similar to us, it’s that we are very similar to them. It’s natural to share many traits.
- Comment on ‘Starfleet Academy’ Episode 5 Trailer Reveals ‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’ Connection 6 days ago:
Let me guess: the protagonist would be an until now unknown but close Sisko relative that behaves very much unlike a career Starfleet officer.
- Comment on Nope, not visiting that 6 days ago:
More pragmatically, time travel for a casual party would be risky because you’re carrying germs many generations apart. Time travelers would wear full-body suits or risk dramatically altering history.
- Comment on Nope, not visiting that 6 days ago:
Imagine your time machine has spiders at the time of your arrival, because it had a small defect that grew into an opening after several years.
“Ha ha, I can’t see anything, but it seems like time travel tickles”

- Comment on Are there any reputable cybersecurity experts that I could just email them to ask for free advice? 1 week ago:
I’m sorry, but OP means actual infosec experts who would lose money by teaching them; not low-budget infosec chumps like us who waste their cheap time in the Internet.
- Comment on Are there any women here who felt they didn't deserve to be called women? 1 week ago:
Don’t follow the “gender assignment” trend. If OP is female and shes’s cis, she’s a woman. People can’t assign you the gender “woman”, you define the kind of woman you are.

It’s not capitalism that makes us compete for resources, it’s the natural consequence of not having infinite resources. Plants and animals compete for resources at every level, blaming capitalism is a leap of logic that could reach the moon.
But anyway, it seems like you want people to be anarchical by nature, and are willing to fall into wishful thinking if needed. All I can add is that we grow hierarchical, little children understand the pecking order easily, and they know they’re at the bottom of the ladder, and the parents at the top. The favorite is between, but the grandparents are even higher than the parents. Anarchy is against our nature, and the nature of most social animals. If it is to be abolished, it better be very thoroughly, encause we’ll have to work against our tendencies.
- Comment on If libertarian socialists are on the left and anarcho-capitalists are on the right what ideology is in the middle? 5 weeks ago:
I can only agree with your last statement, encause IMO, people have three natural postures regarding hierarchy in their group:
- To compete for leadership/status.
- To follow the leader.
- Apathy.
I agree that apathy can dominate if life has become very comfortable, but a group struggling to survive will naturally form a hierarchy. Practically all human groups throughout history have formed some kind of hierarchy, no need to analyze mandrills.

If you’re going to argue, please don’t make people look up basic stuff, it’s a waste of everyone’s time.

You think too high of Eminem fans, or fans in general. A system that ignores the instinct of humans to follow or lead is doomed to fail without permanent, pervasive, and relentless (re)education. Call it aculturization if you want:

Basically, pro athletes cost the team dearly, but you didn’t cost your coach a cent.

I thought “crash your glucose instantly” would be understood as hypoglycemia, but English is not my native language.
- Comment on Insulin 2 months ago:
I’m sure an experienced medic in an emergency could work with it somehow, but for the rest of us living in civilization, insulin that has been outside their recommended temperature range is very dangerous.
Long-acting insulin has crystals that dissolve at body temperature over time, hence it can gradually release insulin over hours. If you break or dissolve those crystals by freezing/thawing/overwarming, the best scenario would be that it became fast-acting insulin, and it would crash your glucose instantly on injection of your usual dose. The worst scenario is that it no longer acts like insulin.

May be both, but universally, actions speak louder than words.
- Comment on People who think an attack on another user is approproate for this sub, and the mods that enable them 2 months ago:
Ah, I see it now. I’d agree that the post should be removed, because it’s mostly noise, it isn’t even an attack.
Maybe the description could have been clearer, to help clueless people like me who aren’t used to all the different UIs Lemmy can be accessed from.
- Comment on People who think an attack on another user is approproate for this sub, and the mods that enable them 2 months ago:
I see no significant attack in your screenshot, if you want mods to censor to such level, you’ll make this place hostile for casual talk, a fascist place where people will preemptively censor themselves before being punished.
If you so passionately dislike the thorn guy, block him, and let others decide if they want to block him too. Don’t impose your tastes on the public.

- Comment on Are platforms like reddit just "internet noise" and bots or just genuinely the darkest parts of humanity? 2 months ago:
Reddit has become a profit-driven cesspool, even more that it was before their IPO and the LLM craze.
It is still home to great communities, so don’t drink from the firehouse, google Reddit+interest and only visit those communities. Subscribe if they match what you need. Ignore the main feed, it’s a perennial garbage dump.
