  Blood from crushed orphans is up 300% this year! 📈

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Bring a shitty person is multidisciplinary, apparently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon wants $3 million⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oddly enough having lots of spikes hurts your chances by spreading the force over more area. You’d really just want a single small spike.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon wants $3 million⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Dremel with a diamond drill bit would make quick work of that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not the same⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I work a lot with AI images, you just get a sense for it over time. It is getting harder over the years as things improve however.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How important is flirting within the dating scene?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that’s a decent way to start. Giving compliments is a great way to flirt! Saying something like “That was a great conversation, you’re easy to talk to” might even be a bit more flirty without putting yourself that much further out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not the same⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s certainly better than most! For instance the text looks excellent. Look at the scientist’s eyes for a clue - one of them has a suspicious white circle while the other doesn’t, and the asymmetry does not seem to be intentional.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not the same⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like an AI generated image to me. Lots of strange artifacts an artist wouldn’t create. And there’s something uncanny about the stippling pattern I’ve seen before in AI images.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At this rate, why not.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems half-baked. Well unbaked really. They make a shit ton of assumptions that I’m not sure are true.

  For example, why do they assume 90% pulverization efficiency of the basalt? Or is that a number they just pulled out of their ass?

  And does ERW work if the pulverized rock is in a big pile on the sea floor? Or would we have to dig the highly radioactive area up and spread it around the surface?

  And does the radioactive water truly stay at the site of the explosion? Or will it be spread through the entire ocean via currents?

  Cool concept but, like, maybe we should check the assumptions a little harder?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At this rate, why not.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nuclear explosions are inherently unsafe…

  …but fuck them fish!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Company Got a Copyright for an Image Made Entirely With AI. Here's How⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the whole article is a press release used by Invoke (the company) to reassure their clients that they are legally safe creating things with AI.

  Look, I think Invoke is good software, but they are being intentionally misleading to make money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The new Hulu Subscriber agreement just dropped - Don't like ads too bad.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume they mean the live TV offerings, and technically the Hulu splash at the start of every episode is marked as an ad.

  But it’s still scummy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon's understanding of science.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Presumably the joke is that all “data” republicans use to prove DEI is harmful is actually fabricated. Lazily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The new trailer for sandbox strategy game Antimatter shows off the epic scale⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Man that trailer shows like 3 or 4 wildly inconsistent art styles in the game. What’s going on?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(They're not allowed to legally anymore)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not necessarily, but if another public health crisis happens, the government has crippled our built in responses.

  I doubt the current bird flu problem will jump to humans en masse but it’s a dangerous one out there right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate it when that happens⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Needed an excuse to have double ASS

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Anon's birthday⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of cultures have big parties for specific birthday milestones, eg Bar Mitzvahs and Quinceañeras.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there anything my girlfriend and I have to consider when traveling to America based on our skin differences?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the Deep South still has problems. Especially in rural areas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Favorite position⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, are you implying that this internet meme might not be realistic?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feminists in their natural habitat of bigotry⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Misandry targets all men, not men with toxic attitudes. Your post was the latter, not trying to generalize to all men.

  Lemmy is probably not a good place to generalize all feminists as misandrists - therapy is. Try to get some help before you let it consume you. Seriously dude, one of my friends went down this path and it really wrecked him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feminists in their natural habitat of bigotry⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When they say “microdick in their brain” they’re saying that real feminists DON’T truly judge about the quirks of a person’s male body. What they DO care about is that mental attitude of toxic masculinity. That’s a highly inclusive attitude, and is related to the paradox of tolerance - feminists fight against toxic masculinity, not the idea of masculinity in general.

  End credits song if I ever heard one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We overpaid you and need you to pay back $.23⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, it probably went down like this:

  Accountant: I discovered a discrepancy in the payout system, we paid people too much! Manager: Hey Engineer, somebody (not me) fucked up and now I need you to fix it, get me the list of everybody who owes us money. Engineer: Yes boss! … Engineer: Ok here’s the list. Manager: Ok now I’ll just have Marketing send out an email to everyone on this list. Engineer: Well some of these people owe us only $0.23, we don’t need to bother them, right? Marketing: Too bad already sent!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We overpaid you and need you to pay back $.23⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They probably sent it to everyone they detected they overpaid, no matter the amount. I’m sure they don’t actually care about $0.23 - it’s the people who sell a lot more than you they are worried about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it considered sexist to ask women to smile?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not sexist, it’s threatening.

  While you may mean well, the vast majority of times a woman is complemented by an acquaintance or stranger, it’s because that person is trying to hit on the woman.

  You might think “shouldn’t that be flattering?” No, it really isn’t. Every single woman I know has countless stories about how they have been harassed by desperate men trying to get into their pants. If you could barely walk into a public place without random strangers harassing you, you’d be soured on the idea too. To further compound the problem, men are on average bigger, stronger, and more aggressive than women.

  So as an example, I was out with my girlfriend once, walking down a crowded street. There was a group of people we had to walk around so we went single file. In less than 30 seconds, she already had some shitty man cat calling her with loaded compliments. I shoved some people aside to make sure I was standing next to her again and he shut up immediately. This is just a fact of life for most women.

  Men may not understand this because they only very rarely receive random compliments, but it hits very different as a woman.

  There is an appropriate time to compliment women, and it’s after you have already built up a trusting friendship. Besides, a compliment means more coming from a friend than a stranger.

  It turns out in every era, copyright is a sham. Information in its natural state is free - our legal system tries to change that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I never said that they are good, just that they exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, the Epic Store exists. Well, not on Linux. And it’s missing a lot of features the other storefronts have.

  Sexy nurse roleplay = medicinal
