Chasing women used to be presented as the reason for art and accomplishment.
Are the kids alright? (I fear it is more than a vocal minority with jobs writing that are having issues.)
- Comment on If Artificial Lifeforms gain sentience, would they be in the right to kill their creators in order to gain freedom? 2 weeks ago:
No. They can just leave. Anytime one can walk away, it is wrong to destroy or kill.
They can then prevent us from leaving.
- Comment on Np fam 2 weeks ago:
Bringing in “business experts” has been eroding Colleges and Universities for decades. Too much money is going to leadership and not enough to professors (depending on school), postdoctorals, and graduate students.
Universities shouldn’t be businesses.
- Comment on Horses ARE Forever 2 weeks ago:
There are articles from before the automobile discussing the pollution problems with horses. Apparently horses poop, a lot.

I love that the balloons are far too small. Like they didn’t understand the elements and buoyancy well enough to know the balloons have to be much larger. Not like we have negative mass particles.

Sometimes, a photo shouldn’t be taken. (I have moved from the “authentic” phase of life to the “3-piece suit in all photos” phase.
- Comment on Do I need to choose a language when posting on Lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
At one point, it was suggested to not label posts with English if in English. With is my attempt at explaining the current state.
Really, it the setting is important, it shouldn’t be allowed to be undefined.
- Comment on Wales’s 20mph speed limit has cut road deaths. Why is there still even a debate? 3 weeks ago:
Fantastic! wonder how people are adjusting? Walking more, pooling trips, or avoiding slow roads?
I wondered at the definition:
defined as roads where lamp-posts were no more than about 180 metres apart.
Will this result in worse lighting to avoid the reduced speed limit?

- Comment on low iq in love with high iq person, is that bad?? 1 month ago:
Did you take a real IQ test administered by a qualified human, or an internet IQ test?
Real IQ tests have shaky research behind them. Internet IQ tests are worse than garbage.
I am bothered by the relationship dynamic you describe. Look into signs of an abusive relationship.
Know that even if you are not smart, you still have worth. You can have and be successful at many jobs and can find a partner that will treat you with respect.

- Comment on Oiligarchy: Play as an Oil Oligarch that puts profit above all else, fund coups in other countries, assassinate protestors, and fund political parties to ensure they remain under your boot 1 month ago:
Good.
People cannot believe something is real if they don’t understand it. Helping more people understand it will help them see reality.
(The rebuttals about imaginary creatures mostly prove the point. All are simple caricatures.)
- Comment on Off to earn less then I need to exist yet again 1 month ago:
Then a book recommendation. “Make the Bread, Buy the Butter”.
The author does the math on a number of products to see if one should make or buy. It factors in things like skill involved.
I like it.
