• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your next phone could have a 10km Bluetooth connection⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does it count as Bluetooth if it extends that far? I haven’t looked into the SoC, but that seems misleading at the very least.

  This is what happens when you survey jackpot winners about the value of lottery tickets.

  That’s the problem though–any “AI” health bot is trained on existing data, and that’s created from a long history of biased, religious, prejudiced health professionals. And assuming the bots are trained on as much data as possible, they might even be worse, because older data will be that much more biased and prejudiced.

  Also, in this case, Bill Gates is full of shit. AI will be nowhere near sophisticated enough in 10 years to do most jobs.

  Even more apparent is when you draw the parallel to birth defects, diseases, or literally any reason we affect our bodies.

  Pretty much all bigots don’t realize it. There are almost no Bond villains in real life–humans can’t really exist in a state where they truly believe they’re the “bad guy.” Some people know they’re wrong, but they see themselves as a victim, not a villain.

  Not only do they not recognize their bigotry, they believe themselves to be the “good guys” in this situation, with opinions on other people ranging from condescending pity to complete disregard.

  If you’re genuinely curious, I can give you a glimpse into their rationality (though I strongly disagree with it).

  Say, for just a brief moment, that you consider trans people to be mentally ill. Calling them by their preferred pronouns would be like giving a drink to an alcoholic–you’d be encouraging it, which would be to their detriment. And worse, you’d be liable to whatever diety might be displeased with your actions that caused someone else to continue in their sin.

  Of course, that only works if you have a very poor understanding of both gender and theology. The real reason the bigots don’t like trans people is because it challenges their worldview, which is uncomfortable. And instead of facing that head on, they’d rather try to justify their current view.

  The Oatmeal wrote a great info comic on this.

  They’re very reputable. Sometimes biased to one side, but most are to one direction or another, at least a bit. Works just fine though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Definitely wasn't late to work making this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I gotta go with 8. For reasons.

  You may fascinate just about anyone by giving them a piece of cheese.

  No, you can only imagine. Some of us are booked for a bathroom gig.

  Bold of you to assume I’m not into that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What TV series have the best intros? What TV series have the worst intros?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Gotta say: The Simpsons. Danny Elfman made one of the most iconic intro songs, and while I’m not sure the Simpsons was the first to do it, the varying intros was another iconic element.

  I really like the intro for Disenchantment as well.

  Wisconsin is cheese country. They have hats and everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This shouldn’t surprise anyone. When you look through the classics, they’re not “typical”. Hell, one of the most iconic games involves a plumber fighting a punk-rock turtle to save a princess, with a variety of mushrooms both helping and hindering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does it make sense to buy a lifetime supply of honey?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honey can change consistency, depending on how it is packaged and stored. In addition, you have to consider the cost and risk of storing it. But if you think the bees are going to die off, it could be a lucrative investment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨work related: is this something only an autistic would ask?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe I just don’t have the context to understand this, but it sounds like some sort of a misunderstanding. I can’t say whether you might be on the spectrum, but I’d be equally confused at the person’s response. It’s possible they misunderstood or were otherwise having a bad day. But in this case, I’d say it’s probably not you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this green or blue?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes

  That logic carries. I’ll allow it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨1987⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  More of a bastardization of it. Not something I use often, it just carries a certain tone and energy with it.

  How got-dang popular were those plates? Had me hundreds of (probably lead-tainted) dinners on those bad boys.

  Consuming strange plants and yelling at technology they neither understand nor appreciate is textbook goblin behavior.

  Considering it’s an acronym for Graphics Interchange Rasterization And Formatting Format Enhancement, it’s pronounced giraffe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL Elon doesn’t know SQL or have any basic human decency.

  J/K, I already knew he doesn’t have basic human decency.

  If he knew anything about SQL, he could have run a quick search to see whether any SSNs are actually duplicated. (spoiler alert: they’re not, he’s just stupid).
