Its shitposting day so I'm not getting worked up about this, but this comment often gets intended in a serious way and it misses the point. Sure, you could argue "Mary" is a made up name too. In theory there was a time far back in the past when someone first named their daughter "Mary". In the...

You misspelled Zendeya But its ok, who can know how to spell a fucked up made up name? I probably misspelled it too

I'm not joking at all. Society is enthusiastically running as fast as it can toward a huge fucking cliff. When I point this out, people tell me get out of the way old man. On second though, I guess pointing out something so funny does count as a joke, even if I didnt mean it as one originally.

Just wait til the next big jump. Your cell phone analogy is perfect. The internet was basically fine until they put it in everybodys pocket. Portable AI powered apps are going to do something similar for the destructive potential of AI. I see a future where the majority of human activity and...

He actually defended doing it too. This is a vision of the very near future. Where everybody just fakes everything with AI generated slop. And then they sincerely try to defend it, saying "yeah but I suck at writing so its ok" Within the next 2 to 3 years there will be wearable glasses with...

Putting aside whether you believe in any religion, I don't think thats a fair summary of their behavior or motivation. Having enough kids to put the population well above replacement levels is what happens naturally if you just fuck and don't interfere with the process. And its generally...

https://rogerpielkejr.substack.com/p/the-global-fertility-crisis-is-worse Our species is literally on track for self inflicted extinction. The fertility crisis is much worse than popular media admits, this article does a very good job of laying out the problem. BUT it ignore variation across...

Rural Oregon They're all red states, just some of them have blue cities big enough to distort the vote

I can't even agree that forums are social media, at their core. If you sit down and list all the features that make social media bad, basically none of those features are shared with forums. What they have in common is only that they're both online, and involve interaction between people...

"the next generation is fucked", they say. I recently attended my daughters middle school graduation, where each student in the class had prepared a little statement about their plans and dreams. Over half the girls included "start a family". Over half the boys planned trade school or blue...

Youre ignoring the point completely and just distracting with a trope about "old people always dislike change, get with the times old man" and bitch I got old

People keep making exactly this same argument as they outsource each piece of human cognitive ability to machines. "I'm not a better person because I can remember phone numbers" "I'm not a better person because I can navigate by road signs and maps" "I'm not a better person because I can write...

Oh come on. Thats an unflattering pic but the SNW version of Nurse Chapel is reasonably hot and feminine, and afaik as straight as a graduate of star fleet academy can be. You can tell she's aiming for almost a 7 of 9 kind of thing. Obviously you're correct for several others but shes not bad

I agree, I think theres as much variation in response to THC as there is in response to alcohol. (e.g. the Asian "I can't drink or I turn red" gene) With that said, in my experience people who tend to have a lot of anxiety in normal life often freak the fuck out on weed, while normal with...

You've been sitting there for hours. Cramped into a tiny seat, with strangers touching you on both sides. No personal space, you're sitting their breathing in their gross smells while they're literally in direct physical contact with you. But now you have a chance to finally stand up and get a...

You can't think of any differences between the particles that make up ships and the "particles" that make up light?

It really started during covid in my experience with scientific supply companies. Used to be if the website said it was in stock, it was in stock. You'd order and they'd ship within a couple days. Then we started getting these bullshit emails "hey that item you just ordered, the supplier says...

Ah yes, culinary critiques from the culture that brought us ketchup and hotdogs on spaghetti

What the actual fuck

All of that is correct but it doesnt change the number one rule at all. Every single person seated in a row number lower than yours gets off the plane before you do. If I'm on the plane I enforce this for 100% of the people seated behind me. It can get hilarious. If only someone up in row 1 or...

Probably! I doubt 0.5c is even possible anyway and if it is, it'd be way too fast to use safely. I'm saying that fundamentally I don't think the answer to interstellar travel is to move so fast you can't even see obstacles in your path, let alone avoid them. The answer has to be prepare for a...

I never understand the focus on FTL when if you hit fucking anything at FTL, you're dead. And shit comes at you too fast to react, because FTL. Forget the physics, its irrelevant. FTL would be a guaranteed death sentence if you used it for the kind of distances you need FTL to cross. The...

This is hilarious and awesome https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/this-country-is-fining-impatient-airplane-passengers-who-stand-up-too-early But this is ridiculous No, there is exactly zero controversy. If you're in row 21, every single goddamn passenger in rows 1-20 gets off the plane before...

I'm with you, Fuck Ellie, but the whole reason Abby and her mad scientist child murdering father wanted Ellie is cause she was so valuable. The whole reason they tracked down Joel and killed him brutally was cause he prevented them from doing this. Then she's back - that ""cure"" they've been...

I couldnt finish this, and I have such a lack of self control with sci fi that I read all Herbert's son's books The first time I turned it off, he was in bed with this baboon lookin chick and his own clone. I got so bored I tried again. FF that scene, kept going. Next thing you know we have...

I worked with a renal physiologist and beer aficionado who swore that in fact all beers are net hydrating beverages. I trusted the guys grasp of his field enough not to dispute his claim. Besides, too good to check! Seriously though it makes sense. You drink a beer, you go take a piss sure but...

Another myth. No, beer is a net hydrating beverage. You can literally drink beer after a race and get measurably hydrated. Most of what people say about human nutrition is a myth, but almost all of what people say about hydration is a myth.

I'm just surprised you didnt try to fancy gay it up by saying "I don't think I've ever utilized it in a sentence" literally first time I've ever encountered someone defending "bespoke", its kind of awesome

and this is the first time I've ever heard anyone try to defend it. But absolutely par for the course on FoH usually people just laugh, agree with me that theyre pretty faggy words, and move on

This morning I'm here to share some actually important science https://www.popsci.com/health/coffee-myths/ Most of these arent really widely believed, but the dehydration myth is. I enjoy that they debunked it with both an experiment and with the obvious statement that should have...

FTFY Clown world was locked in the day they started calling actresses actors instead, and everybody just nodded and was like oh ok

3 hours low and slow. Not because it takes that long to get it cooked but because it makes the best roast chicken. Lots of people roast chickens at higher temps for shorter times. It makes a very inferior bird. But you can do it. Probably an hour if speed is the goal. But its seriously much...

Out of curiosity, when society runs a multi-decades long program of subversive propaganda, precisely how many times are viewers permitted to complain about it before it gets boring for you? Its important that we all know these things so we can keep you optimally entertained.

Is it the writing (TV adaptation) or was it like that in the game, I wonder? Its fundamental to this plot point. The black chick that was friends with Ellie's mom,in a real world she would need some really convincing evidence that killing her friends little girl would produce a cure. But she...

This makes twice now. Two times Joel was confronted about rescuing Ellie, but didn't mention the single biggest argument in his defense. There was never any reason to think cutting the little girls brain open would produce a cure. It was a fucking science experiment. Nobody ever made a cure...

CRISPR causes so many off target effects, kids gonna have an interesting life. But I guess if it was a lethal condition thats a tradeoff worth making. What really grinds my gears is that they used that absolutely faggot-infested word "bespoke" in the summary. Customized works just fine here...

Joints are just the best way to go, a whole industry tried to convince us to spend money on ridiculous glassware and shit, and all it ever did was make the pot taste bad after the first couple hits. Or get that disgusting resin all over your hands while cleaning. I threw away all the other...

Olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, thyme. Last 3 are optional. Garlic powder works fine too if thats all you have. But of course its chicken, theres a thousand different ways to season it and I'm not sure any are wrong

My preference is simple. Season it up, then 3 hours at 250 in the oven. Then crank it to 450 til brown, turn off the oven, and leave it in while you finish getting sides together. Tender as rotisserie every time, easy peasy. edit: thats for two birds cooked side by side, I'm feeding 3...

Theres lots of good advice in this thread but I wanted to comment on this specifically. Theres good evidence that yes, smiling actually helps you feel better. The suggestion isnt "smile so other people think you're happy". Its literally smile so you start feeling a little bit happy. Its weird...
