  How much did I like that one guy really.

  Maybe you built up antibodies cause I didn’t notice at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's gf is native american⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s like an awful combination of a boomer making a flirtatious “joke” and the hyper nerdy language of The Big Bang Theory show.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a plan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And it’s a hilarious coincidence that it resulted in the southern most point being Antarctica, as it just happens to be the only continent without bears.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do all there former Republican leaders endorsing Harris do her any good?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From a game theory perspective, a trumper discouraged to vote is worth 1 vote, a flipped Republican vote is worth 2 votes.

  So the appeal to the right makes sense if it works, because every vote from that camp is also a negative vote from Trump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do all there former Republican leaders endorsing Harris do her any good?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have the hope that she’ll end up being more progressive after votes are counted.

  Partially because she has Walz which is a good sign, but mostly I’m hoping for hopes sake. 🤞

  This is dumb, I deeply love it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon isn't a fan of Judas⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I painstakingly used video transcription searches to figure out where I heard this from and I finally found it!

  It was touched on in this video Something’s Hiding Outside This Game… at 52 minutes.

  The actual work being talked about is Three Versions of Judas by Jorge Luis Borges.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon isn't a fan of Judas⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a fascinating idea that Judas was the one who committed the ultimate sacrifice. That god chose him to be his human incarnate, to truly experience humanity and guilt by committing an ultimate betrayal and becoming the villain of biblical history. All allowing him to finally understand and forgive humanity’s sin, by committing one himself. It follows that this is supposedly maddening knowledge as it breaks the illusion of Christ’s sacrifice.

  I’m definitely butchering and ad-libbing the original idea, but I think this makes for a grander story than the traditional “birth myself to sacrifice myself to myself to forgive everyone else” interpretation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨America's Smartest Man Finds Something Interesting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the Overton Window, the window of acceptable topics for public discourse, and it’s unrelated to testosterone (I know, surprising /s).

  A misaligned Overton Window (like a slow response to an impending disaster) is hard to counteract because the experts dealing with the topic may lose their credibility by trying to push against the window.

  But I have heard the theory that the evolutionary reason for autism may be to counteract this effect. A small amount of genuine vocal concern could encourage others to speak out and break the tension surrounding the topic.

  This vocal concern is not however gonna come from the evershifting lies of the X and 4chan echo chambers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deficiencies⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyday I would wake up with severely sore arms, like they were clenched somehow.

  Blood test said Vitamin D deficiency, but the supplements didn’t do anything noticeable. But I was on the border of anemia so they told me to try iron supplements too.

  Gone overnight. I’m so used to problems being an exhausting road to recovery that this one took me by surprise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't look now⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly physicists don’t actually know what measuring is either. We don’t know when exactly the system is considered “measured” in the chain of entanglement, this is called the Measurement Problem.

  Answers range from “shut up don’t think about it” to “there’s an infinite amount of universes split from each other for each quantum event!”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays elden ring⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So a tricky thing with LGBT words is they seem to around specificity.

  Like people can say gay to mean gay men, gay people, or any kind of queer.

  Similarly transgender can mean a gender identity not matching your biological sex, which includes genderfluid; or it can mean specifically a binary trans man/woman.

  These aren’t different valid opinions about the label. They are literally just different definitions for the words that depend on context. The words mean all of those things but usually only one in a context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hail our true supreme leader⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  God this just made me think though, I would bet North Korea is actually using AI for even better propaganda against their citizens. Being so disconnected from the rest of the world and tech starved, the people probably don’t know a machine could even do this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old AF⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Old as hell would be 4.5 billion years old when all of Earth was just a ball of lava.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anons Super Power⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would except Mind Control in any scenario except if they realize they were mind controlled (damn D&D).

  If it’s short range I’d finally get a decent job and would never have to worry about being attacked in public.

  If it can be used over camera, become an influencer, “hey guys if all of you that are within your means could donate 1 dollar to my GoFundMe I’d greatly appreciate it”. Instant semi ethical riches.

  If I could use it on the mirror, “Wirlocke you’re going to feel well rested and do x task”.

  With streaming services they’re proving it’s not viable to run a resource hog of a service with a measly monthly subscription.

  With social media they’re proving it’s not viable to run a resource hog of a service for free, even with advertisement.

  So naturally the best plan to monetize AI is to run a resource hog of a service with a measly monthly subscription and a free version without advertisements. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon interviews for a job⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For normal people, to be late to something.

  For this guy, the R slur against those with learning disorders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨yay, no dunning kruger for me! hold up, oh no⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I imagine it’s because the attributes that IQ measure could be the same as we use to measure success.

  Effectively if your test is based on the skills needed for STEM, and the STEM fields have jobs with high pay and respect, then you’re likely to be considered “successful”. But the same person could be awful at communication, politics, the arts, and just be ignorant at large to how the world works. They may even be hyper specialized to their field but lack the flexibility in their intelligence to understand other STEM fields (I hear physicists are guilty of this).

  Another, simpler answer, could just be that already wealthy people have better access to stable education, so they were already successful in many ways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon can't find a good match⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just looked it up, basically means personality disorders that cause people to act erratically.

  Includes Antisocial-PD (closest diagnosis to the unofficial terms psycho/sociopath), Bordeline-PD, and Narcissistic-PD.

  They will assume Skinner is the main charcter after the only remains being fossilized steamed hams edits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon catches her boyfriend in a private moment⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They should have immediately reached out their hand and run over saying “The hand is coming to get you!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Community⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can imagine it to be the opposite.

  Maybe irritant tears have less protein to not clog your vision when in a fight or threatened?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon wants to ride a zeppelin⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh, Today I Learn

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon wants to ride a zeppelin⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To add on the point of helium being expensive and valuable, it’s also extremely important for supercooling MRI’s and supercomputers.

  I’d rather have more MRI’s than zeppelins.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tells a story about president Taft⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Taft fat is a palindrome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solve a puzzle for me⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Gemini is weirdly constrained compared to other LLMs, it feel far more like it’s just searching for text that already exists and copy-pasting it. (I have the free trial Gemini Advanced too)

  Soo, appropriate for Google I guess? But besides summaries and search it barely feels like an LLM.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's sister is a NEET shut-in⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The brother being a better parent than most actual parents.

  It all seems to boil down to patience and Pavlov in the end.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iron⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Listen there’s definitely enough carbon in the body to boost that into a steel sword.

  If we can make diamonds out of corpses, we can make steel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨David McBride: former army lawyer sentenced to five years for stealing and leaking Afghanistan war documents⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say believing that leaking military secrets is treasonous no matter what’s being leaked is a more black and white opinion than believing the responsibility is on the individuals involved to determine if keeping the secret is unjust.
