  • Bathroom tampons.

    Jump

  • That's what I don't understand about these attacks, I didn't even have a sister growing up but my mom would have a box of tampons next to the toilet. I remember wondering what they were..... And that was it. For years I used the bathroom next to tampons and it had zero impact on life.

  • Other nations struggle with those issues too

    I agree with you but other nations is vague. If by other nations you are comparing us to other very developed nations (Ex Europe) I would counter that the US has these issues to a way more extreme degree.

  • Aluminum

  • Team aluminum all the way. A higher up where I work is obsessed with stainless steel, he gets these monstrous heavy duty tables made out of SS that hold objects 1/3 of their weight. Makes lab rearranging a nightmare lol.

  • I disagree, I think it is basic human/biologic that drives us to grab up resources and hoard them to ensure survival/reproduction/future generations. Capitalism is just a vehicle in which we are capable of expressing that biological greed on a global scale.

  • This Is How the World’s Favorite Scent Disappears

    Jump

  • First thought when I read this headline was this is absurd, vanillin is super easy to synthesize the scent/flavor isn't going anywhere. Now actual beans may become super scarce which sucks for sure.

  • OpenAI’s Sam Altman is becoming one of the most powerful people on Earth. We should be very afraid

  • Strong agree here. You hit on a lot of the core issues on LLMs, so I'll say my opinions on the economic aspects.

    It's been more than a year since chatGPT released this plague of "slap AI on the product and consumers will put their children down for collateral to buy!" which imo we haven't seen whatsoever. Investors still have a hard-on for the term AI that goes into the stratosphere but even that is starting to change a little.

    Consumers level of AI distrust has risen considerably and consumers have seen past the hype. Wrapping this back around to the CEOs level of power, I just don't think LLMs are actually going to have enough marketability for general consumers to become juggernaut corpos.

    LLMs absolutely have use cases but they don't fit into most consumer products. No one wants AI washers or rice cookers or friggin AI spoons and shoehorning them in decreases interest in the product.

  • Which will you choose?

    Jump

  • I personally disagree, mainly because the interactions have much more depth than the same 30 unfunny comments that people make on reddit ex: this. Don't get me wrong it happens here as well, just way less. I also see people back claims up with evidence here way more, it's not always valid evidence but at least an attempt is made more.

    The thing I like the best is the lack of self righteousness (ironic I'm making this comment on this post haha) that reddit has, that was my personal biggest complaint there. Like on reddit if there is an animal in a video in any way shape or form you can almost always find someone screeching about animal abuse, even when it is obviously not.

    I of course have bias in favor of Lemmy and this is highly dependent on the community. I will admit Lemmy is super left leaning, which I like, but definitely supports your hive mind argument. Even though I lean left I think it would be healthier for Lemmy to have more of a presence from the right. Unfortunately with how the political landscape is today I think it won't be very achievable but hopefully when we hit the post Trump era divisiveness will ease making coexistence here more achievable.

  • Harris secures enough delegate endorsements to win the Democratic presidential nomination

    Jump

  • There is no time to fuck around unfortunately, they are making a smart move 100%. The Dems were pretty close to cannibalizing themselves over the Biden drop out thing. They need to quickly and coherently organize and unify. I'm saying all this and I'm not a big fan of Harris but I am pretty stoked to vote for her compared to my enthusiasm for voting 4 days ago.

  • MAGA world is really mad that Trump is no longer running against Biden

    Jump

  • Oh yeah I've been called a fascist already because I said I'd vote for Harris and that while she isn't the best candidate she will be leagues better than Biden imo.

  • MAGA world is really mad that Trump is no longer running against Biden

    Jump

  • Yeah I bet the skeevers are upset, regularless of the new nominee Trump is almost surely going to get destroyed in the next debate. Also now most of Trump's points against Biden apply to himself instead of the other candidate.

  • Kamala Harris Launches Presidential Bid: ‘My Intention Is to Earn and Win This Nomination’

  • okey dokey

  • Kamala Harris Launches Presidential Bid: ‘My Intention Is to Earn and Win This Nomination’

    Jump

  • So the DNC gets to make this decision not me. This is a last minute situation that hasn't happened since the 60s, every ounce of divisiveness will only embolden the "facist coup". The time is up, whoever they pick we've got to unite behind and hopefully rally voters to the booths. Honestly the presidency needs to be D so it can't veto/ can veto, the VP can tie break, and executive orders. She will hopefully be a beacon to encourage voters to get more D in the senate and house. The house/senate flips and your meaningful legislation point becomes moot. Lastly I have no clue what you are saying in the 2nd paragraph, somehow voting for Harris makes a facist coup? No clue what middle steps are included to achieve that outcome but you must know something I don't. Regardless I have no worries about my family but I appreciate the concern!

  • Democrats hail Biden's decision to not seek reelection as selfless. Republicans urge him to resign

  • Well if Harris is running couldn't any unpopular thing that Biden does potentially be tied to her?

  • I don't like Harris, mainly because of her time as a prosecutor. I'm also not going to lie, I was having a really really hard time grappling with voting for Biden, I was begrudgingly willing to before the debate but when I watched it I was so outraged. I genuinely feel like his administration has been deceitful with his condition for a while. I'm not saying I wasn't going to vote for Biden, I understand the stakes, but I kept watching his interviews trying to get any genuine motivation for Biden. All I saw was a stubborn old man who refused to even acknowledge reality.

    I've been following Biden news and this week I was convinced that he would drop out and so I wondered who would replace him. Harris immediately came to mind. Now as I said I don't care for Harris but before Biden announced this today I personally decided I would be willing to support Harris.

    She isn't ancient, I believe she's more progressive, and I think she will be good in the debates. She isn't my 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th pick, but I have far fewer hangups voting for Harris compared to Biden, and of course over Trump.

    She isn't the best candidate in terms of absolute popularity, but when you factor in funding logistics and the fact that I think many good Dems picks would want to run in '28 when the timing isn't fucked, I think Harris is the most realistic pick. I'll happily take her compared to Biden.

  • Joe Biden ends re-election campaign

  • I do not like Hillary and I do not like Harris. I don't however agree with harris being a Hilary repeat, I think she has a way better shot than Biden did

  • Personally the best news I've heard in a while. I think there is a little bit of a knee jerk reaction happening because a lot is on the line and people are scared because it's such an unknown right now. When things settle more and the smoke clears I think everything will be more positive.
