  • What's your best tip or hack for camping?

    Jump

  • That most camping gear is horrendously expensive and over engineered.

    Get old and used gear, repair things, and make your own if you can.

    A good bug net and a tarp are going to be just as effective as a modern tent, and breathe better.

    For a backpack, those old aluminum a-frame packs are so easy to repair, and you can clip/tie things to the frame.

  • What kinds of toxic masculinity have you encountered?

    Jump

  • There are a lot of great answers here, but I’d like to add one that I think is often forgotten in these conversations:

    Purposeful incompetence around supposedly non-masculine skills.

    It drives me up the wall every time I hear some dude talk about how they don’t know how to do basic tasks of living because the women in their lives take care of it for them.

    Guys who act like laundry, cooking, dishes, changing a diaper, gardening, grocery shopping, etc. require arcane knowledge they just don’t possess.

  • What would you do if you had nothing to lose?

    Jump

  • Wander into the woods and never return, probably.

  • What do you think about reaching AGI?

    Jump

  • Why would AGI threaten the existence of the Amish and/or change laws regarding property rights?

  • What do you even do at a gym?

    Jump

  • I throughly enjoy my time at the gym. 6 days a week I lift weights, run or swim a little, and then soak in a hot tub.

    I’ve found that it makes me feel better, and not just physically. I’m less stressed with regular exercise than I was without it.

    It’s also time I get to spend totally alone. Yes, other people are around, but I have headphones on and don’t have to talk to anyone. I teach for a living, and so it’s just nice to have a little time each day where I don’t have to be “on.”

    Seeing yourself get stronger is also feels fantastic in ways that I don’t think really make sense until you do it. I could only bench 95 lbs when I first started lifting; now I’m pushing 225. That’s something I’m proud of.

    What do you think the most famous phone number of all time is ?

    Jump

  • Local to Chicago (I think?) but everyone here can tell you what comes after 800-588-2300.

  • What's your secret place to escape the world for a bit like?

    Jump

  • I used to live in walking distance from a national forest.

    Next to a lake in that forest was a little patch of moss and tree cover that you could only reach by crossing a natural bridge made of downed trees. Less of an island and more of a ball of roots with enough moss to be soft to sit on.

    As far as I know, I was the only person alive who knew about the spot. I’d spend whole days there enjoying the quiet.

  • I miss DBZ Abridged. Are there any other good Abridged seties out there?

  • Cases where one partner decided to pass on education or career advancement make alimony appropriate, I reckon.

    Someone with minimal education and a large gap in their resume is going to have trouble getting back into the workforce.

    If all meat was banned except for insects, would you eat insects?

    Jump

  • I’ma keep it real with you homie…

    The whole projected future of living in pods and eating bugs is a propaganda scare point from people who want to manipulate you for profit.

    Any media that tries to present it as a real possibility should be held at arms length.

    TIL the term 'blockbuster' came from a time when blocks of ice in front of a fan were used to cool movie audiences. A large audience required more cooling thus "busting" the block of ice.

    Jump

  • I had thought it was a reference to a bomb.

  • What's the dumbest way you've sustained an injury, and what was the injury?

    Jump

  • I was cutting slices out of an apple with a comically large Bowie knife.

    My roommate said, “Hey, that looks pretty dangerous.”

    I said, “Nah, bro, it’s perfectly safe.”

    Somewhere around the middle of that sentence, the knife sliced through the apple and into my palm.

    He had to drive me to the hospital for stitches.

  • New Device Mounts to Your Toilet to Analyze Your Turds Using the Power of AI

    Jump

  • “So, Greg, what do you do for work?”

    “Uhhhh…. I’m the control group for AI toilets.”

  • Those of you that back your vehicle into parking spots, why do you do it?

    Jump

  • I first learned how to drive on these old pickup trucks at a summer camp I worked for as a teenager.

    The nice old fella who maintained the trucks (and who, not incidentally, taught me how to drive) said to do it that way and would get disappointed if you didn’t.

    So, I guess it’s because I first learned it that way, but also because I don’t want to disappoint Alan (who may or may not be dead by now, I’m not sure.)

  • It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System

    Jump

  • I teach Philosophy.

    I need them to think for themselves, which just isn’t happening if they turn in work that isn’t theirs.

    So, I’m pretty harsh on anyone using AI. Even if it’s for a discussion post, I’m reporting it to the Academic Integrity office.

  • This is why we have accommodations offices at colleges.

    No problem giving an alternative for those who need it.

  • It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System

    Jump

  • I teach at a community college. I see a lot of AI nonsense in my assignments.

    So much so that I’m considering blue book exams for the fall.

  • Someone needs to play Goldfinger’s Superman over this.

  • Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok clout

    Jump

  • Youthful rebellion transcends technology.

    Is there much difference between this and, say, using a pen to drill a hole in your desk?
