  He’s not sure why he’s here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The thrill⁩ ⁨⁨30⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago⁩:

  No, he’s an adult who went to medical school at the usual time.

  There are frequent flashbacks to his traumatic as fuck childhood, but he’s an adult doctor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨and i love that for people⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I know. There is for everything. Porn is about chasing taboo. I don’t need to talk about it, just won’t judge others for it. Have fun, leave me out of it. Thank you, love you, please go!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When your computer says "You don't have permission to edit this file":⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  So? How the hell is it supposed to know that when you’re trying to do things wrong? Would you rather it let any one do anything, so long as they control the mouse?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨and i love that for people⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate that I’m saying this.

  I would much rather this be people’s outlet for white guilt than punishing minorities for existing. Like, it gives me the ick but they’re not hurting anyone by doing this.

  Long story short, don’t yuck other’s yums if they don’t cause harm to others.

  … I’m not happy about it, though.

  Guess would be opportunistic scavenging

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨belt tight around my neck being pulled back hard in doggy >>>⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Please, no belts. Something that can be cut with scissors, and have said scissors on hand. Limbs (including heads) swell when cut-off from blood supply. Something that requires some degree of looseness to remove, like a belt, should never be used to restrain a limb, unless it’s being used as a tourniquet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine How embarrassing that would be⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, yeah. I can see that. Lots of very thin metaphors for the Ukraine invasion, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine How embarrassing that would be⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure this is about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, not the Israel/US invasion of Iran

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uhuhuhhuh. This place sucks.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No, there is, but it’s fused with the ceiling and doesn’t turn on. Or there’s the other one that’s always on, but it just plays static

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hang in there⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably a lazily written prompt. It is an AI image, afterall

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't let your dreams be dreams!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I wanted to get important things done and work with others not on my team to get them done.

  Corpo speak is always either a word for “thing that needs to be done” or “work with others in some structured way”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Browser? I barely knew her!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Umm… yeah, that episode was basically nothing like this one. Gordon from Orville becomes parasocially attached to a woman from her cellphone. He then creates the holo version for nothing other than fantasy exploration. That later comes to a head when he meets said woman when he got left in the past and ended up marrying her. It explores the morality of asymmetric information in relationships and the personal ramifications of parasocial relationships. The storyline ends with Gordon being forcibly removed from the past and having his memories wiped, since he refused to comply with his orders to return to his timeline. Wiped Gordon is shocked it would ever have to come to that.

  Geordi created a holodeck version of a contemporary scientist to solve a problem, and then caught feelings. This episode is that coming to a head when Geordi gets called out for the privacy invasion and gets hit with the dissonance between the holo version and the real one. It explores the difference between parasocial and real relationships, and faces the larger social consequences of stealing someone’s identity.

  Like, it’s fine that you don’t like The Orville. Them exploring similar ideas to TNG (which, duh, it IS a TNG parody) doesn’t mean they’re doing knock-off episodes. And while these episodes explore similar themes, they are extremely different in substance and conclusion

  Like, The Orville was my first Trek, because it was a new universe so knowing lore wasn’t a requirement. It made Trek less daunting a franchise to enter, because of that. It certainly isn’t perfect, but it definitely isn’t some crap made to make money. MacFarlane loves Trek, this is his genuine approach to making his Trek show, and you can tell that a lot of love went into its making.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad news, folks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, this is fear mongering. Extrapolating current trends like that is bad practice. A time of population contraction, especially after industrialization, is expected. A portent of doom, it is not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australians doing the country proud again...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No, bro, this is a variant of the game. The symbol you’re looking for is held upward. The white power symbol needs context that the douche using it is a white supremacist. Don’t call out a potential dogwhistle unless you have evidence that it is the dogwhistle. Otherwise, you’re barking at nothing (something the neo-nazi fucks want you to do, so they can label you crazy)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No. There is nothing you can do. AI detection is bullshit and there is no way to game it to reduce how much it determines you to be an AI. Your school is punishing you for it existing, and thus they remove the punishment for those using it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My god⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Speed isn’t the factor being multiplied here, it’s fuel efficiency. It would be much faster to give the probes enough delta-v to handle flying straight (via a parabola) to their ultimate destination then to bother wasting time with gravitational assists. But the cost in fuel would be astronomical. Literally, even.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon pets a dog⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No, you made a wild wolf more dangerous as it has now received food after being near a human. That wolf will now approach more people to get food.

  Dog domestication took centuries to millenia. And the most dangerous predators are those that are descended from domestic or near domestic animals.

  …Ewoks ate each other? That’s pretty metal, honestly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pizza 🌟⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And only became associated with luxury due to the insane costs of producing and shipping them at scale. Well, for the seafood anyways.

  RTGame on YouTube is doing 20th anniversary showings of E3, and they were always boring stockholder meetings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I get myself to actually do thing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wrote a novella four years ago in a manic buzz. It’s just a first draft, but I loved every minute of it. I realized this week, actually, that I was putting that magic energy on a pedestal and was just waiting around until the bug bit me again to get to writing. That’s not… going to happen. So, instead, I decided to write every day. Just a few minutes, at least. It’s day 3 and I’ve written more than I have in the last 3 years.

  So, probably make it less intimidating. Do it smaller, snark enough to actually get started.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's a no⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lane shouldn’t be clear. That’s the issue, here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's a no⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, it doesn’t. It never would, because NHTSA knows that utilizing all lanes during a lane closure reduces backups. Show me a sign where it tells drivers to merge now that isn’t at the actual merge and I will eat a hat

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's a no⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s taught, but the concept is counter-intuitive, goes against American etiquette for queuing, and puts all of the risk for getting stuck on the driver doing the correct thing (going all the way down to the merge).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's a no⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If everyone stayed in the lane that’s about to close, your scenario wouldn’t happen. The issue isn’t the people going all the way to the end to merge, it’s everyone merging beforehand that causes the backup.

  Traffic waves in that scenario come from people merging. If everyone merged at the end, there would be a small, consistent slowdown there. One small wave being reinforced over time. But, because everyone in the lane about to close merges as soon as they can, there are dozens of waves being generated all at once, which causes the stop-and-go effect. And as the backup becomes worse, more people start merging earlier, causing even more waves and more backup.

  It was meant to illustrate the dangers of unchecked capitalism.

  I mean, yeah, but also no. It was anti-land lord and was advocating Georgism and a land value tax. Georgism includes corporations as victims to land lord hoarding and doesn’t criticize capitalism, per se.
