Oh cancer shows up in bloodwork? I thought you needed a scan for that.
- Comment on Get cancer screening guys 1 day ago:
What prompted the screening? How does that even work? Like “Doc I don’t feel right, can I get a cancer-check?”

And then say that source is discredited, without providing a source for that claim.

That’s not the story of evolution! Read your Darwin! There’s like two pages on competition. Darwin, page after page after page is marveling at: oh my gosh, look at how species are collaborating and cooperating with one another for mutual survival!

- Comment on AI will replace us all... trust me 1 week ago:
Just to be clear, I was referring to a poem by Dayna EM Craig, titled “A Narcissist’s Prayer”.

How does that one go?
- Comment on What was the 'bear vs man' controversy? 1 week ago:
SnotFlickerman nailed it, so I’ll just add that the “man or bear” saga taught me what a “scissor statement” is.
For me, that was the biggest revelation of the whole thing.
You had people encountering the same general words in the same general order, but understanding them to mean completely different things, and not being able to comprehend how anyone could disagree with them.
It was like a rehash of “the dress”, but not so whimsical.
It was really kind of distressing, the extent to which it laid bare (no pun intended) how poorly we’re actually communicating with each other online, even though it otherwise seems like we’re communicating more than ever.
Aaaaand then we just kinda shrugged that off and went back to internet as usual.
- Comment on AI will replace us all... trust me 1 week ago:
It seems like any time you criticize AI, you get an escalating series of responses akin to the narcissist’s prayer:
- It must be faked
- And if it wasn’t faked, you were using the wrong model
- And if you weren’t using the wrong model, you prompted it wrong
- And if you didn’t prompt it wrong, don’t worry — “this is the worst it’ll ever be”

FYI, it’s usually “how it feels” or “what it feels like”, not “how it feels like”
- Comment on He's totally not a Nazi tho 2 weeks ago:
“Workers” is (intentionally) obtuse.
They were paramilitary — private militant groups elevated to public status based on their allegiance, and plugged into the existing military apparatuses.
So like J6ers on the low end, or Blackwater on the high end.
Speaking of Blackwater, what is “Echo Papa” up to these days?
Prince had struck up a working relationship with El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, which not everyone at the meeting knew. … Prince eventually excused himself from the group, telling those gathered that he planned to pitch the detention idea directly to Bukele.
…
Not only would El Salvador accept and jail potentially hundreds of thousands of violent undocumented immigrants currently in the US, it would also take in “dangerous American criminals in custody in our country, including those of US citizenship and legal residents.”

Dumbass could’ve been remembered as “IRL Ironman” forever if he just shut up and enjoyed his wealth.
I think becoming a billionaire causes brain damage. Like, for real, literally brain damage.
- Comment on There Have Been Times I Liked The Villain Dynamics Better 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, “villain” isn’t a match, but “sexy, unhinged, and morally bankrupt” hits a lot closer.
- Comment on Bad news for Starlink: Earth’s atmosphere is shrinking 2 weeks ago:
I’ve heard that before. But the main point of the paper is that drag is decreasing. So I’m curious to know how that impacts the stability of Starlink going forward. I doubt they have new figures after one day.
- Comment on Bad news for Starlink: Earth’s atmosphere is shrinking 2 weeks ago:
“Modelled CO2 emissions scenarios from years 2000-2100 indicate a potential 50-66 percent reduction in satellite carrying capacity between the altitudes of 200 and 1,000 km.”
That’s a severe reduction.
I imagine Starlink still plans to launch as many as legally allowed.
Imagine if Mr. “Occupy Mars” ends up being the guy to trap us here on Earth forever by clogging up space.

- Comment on Thinkpad for the win 2 weeks ago:
Idk how scratch-prone the post-touchbar models are, but I’ve had a series of MBPs that I’ve been profoundly uncareful with and never had a problem.
Used a 2009 model until 2016, no scratches. 2016 model that I use to this very day, no scratches. 2017 I used for work until 2019, I ran it across an exposed screw-tip on a broken desk and it left a line you could see if you held it just right to reflect a light, but I can’t imagine anything shrugging that off. 2019 model I used for work until a month ago, no scratches.
Meanwhile, the other devices that have coexisted in the same backpack have not done as well. Dented USB hub, dented dock, broken screen on an Android device, shattered screen protector on another device.

Legit, first time I heard a Brit say his name I thought it was a Japanese dude: Kiastama
