  • Is moderately severe back pain really normal at 30?

    Jump

  • I remember as a teenager I had such terrible menstrual pain I'd take pain killers and just curl up on the bed suffering and waiting for them to start working. I remember sitting in class at school not being able to focus because the pain in my stomach was barely tolerable. Everyone around me told me it was normal. My mother just told me to take pain killers. It only got better when I started taking hormonal birth control pills. I've always wondered if I have endometriosis but never got diagnosed (never asked about it to be honest because on bc it's manageable). I'd really like to tell my past self that I wasn't just being weak and that it really wasn't normal to feel that level of pain. It's good that slowly there's more awareness about this, but apparently there are still people like OP who believe they just need to live with pain like that.

    OP, this is not normal and not how it should be, please see a doctor.

  • Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. They just memorize patterns really well.

  • This. Same with the discussion about consciousness. People always claim that AI is not real intelligence, but no one can ever define what real/human intelligence is. It's like people believe in something like a human soul without admitting it.

    Is it misogynistic if I prefer to date traditional Latina women?

  • I'm going to be the one here that says: I think you might be. Do you want a partner to love and live together and truly consider equal with all their thoughts, feeling and needs being just as important as yours, or do you want a maid that also happens to love you and wants to sleep with you? I think that is the question you need to answer first.

  • Wochenarbeitszeit: Machen uns längere Arbeitstage krank?

    Jump

  • Ich muss sagen, ich finde 8h am Tag schon wirklich viel. Ich brauche relativ viel Schlaf, ich möchte gerne Sport machen, ich habe einen Haushalt zu erledigen, meine Eltern benötigen Unterstützung und hin und wieder möchte ich auch einfach mal Freude treffen oder entspannen, sich einigermaßen gesund zu ernähren kostet auch etwas Planungsenergie und Zeit. Nach 8h Arbeit bin ich erst mal platt, wenn ich mich dann zum Sport aufraffe, mach ich danach sicher keinen Haushalt mehr, maximal noch was zu essen. Ich begreife nicht, wie Leute mit Kindern das machen.

    Gleichzeitig habe ich das Gefühl, wenn ich als kinderlose Person meine Arbeitszeit reduzieren würde, würde das direkt irgendwie negativ gesehen, vor allem wenn ich auch keine andere stichhaltige Begründung dafür hätte (wie eine ehrenamtliche Tätigkeit oder ein sehr zeitaufwändiges Hobby o.ä.). Aber ich hab irgendwie das Gefühl, immer am Rand der Erschöpfung entlang zu kratzen und denke eigentlich, dass mir 1-2h weniger pro Tag zu arbeiten deutlich mehr Lebensqualität geben würde.

  • AI could already be conscious. Are we ready for it?

    Jump

  • AI isn't math formulas though. AI is a complex dynamic system reacting to external input. There is no fundamental difference here to a human brain in that regard imo. It's just that the processing isn't happening in biological tissue but in silicon. Is it way less complex than a human? Sure. Is there a fundamental qualitative difference? I don't think so. What's the qualitative difference in your opinion?

  • I'm not even really sure why but for some reason, Alan Rickman hit me pretty hard.

  • You're getting downvoted but I absolutely agree. I don't understand why "AI algorithms are just math, therefore they can't have consciousness" seems to be the predominant view even among people interested in the topic. I haven't heard a single convincing argument why "math" is fundamentally different from human brains. Sure, current AI is way less complex and doesn't have a continuous stream of perceptual input. But that's something a "proper" humanoid robot would need to have, and processing power will increase as well.

    Jump

  • You talk like you know what the requirements for consciousness are. How do you know? As far as I know that's an unsolved philosophical and scientific problem. We don't even know what consciousness really is in the first place. It could just be an illusion.

  • Have you ever had an experience you can't explain?

  • As a matter of fact I'm having one right now, searching for my camera's memory card. I know for a fact that it was on my desk a couple of days ago. I have not used it in the meantime and I'm usually really careful with it as it was quite expensive. But now it's just gone and I've searched the whole damn room for it but it just fucking vanished into thin air apparently. I think I'm going nuts.

  • OnePlus Rumored To Be Working On A Future Snapdragon 8 Elite Flagship With A Humongous 7,800mAh Battery, Likely Using Silicon-Carbon Technology To Push The Capacity Limits

  • Ok but why is it too difficult for American manufacturers and not for Chinese ones?

  • My doctor's office now has ads when checking in online

  • In Germany that's illegal. Maybe in all of the EU.

  • That doesn't answer the question though, does it? I've been using a silicon carbon battery phone for over a year now and it's the best battery experience I have ever had with any phone, by far. And it's a foldable!

    Charging is also the fastest I've ever experienced in a phone. 5000mAh and 60W PD charging.

    I will never buy a lithium battery phone again, ever. So if Samsung wants me back as a customer, they will have to switch. And I don't understand why American and Korean phone manufacturers are taking so long with this.

  • Barefoot shoes! Started wearing them 2 years ago and will never go back. I hadn't even realized how much regular shoes crammed my toes together until I started wearing actually foot-shaped shoes. And my feet are narrow.

    Jump

  • I wouldn't be surprised if on average women's feet were narrower than men's, but even if that's the case, just make narrow and wide versions of shoes and let people pick the ones that fit their feet. Surely there are men with narrow feet and women with wide feet. It just makes no sense.

    Jump

  • As a woman, I think it's stupid that shoes are gendered in the first place. My shoe size is in the realm that exists for both men's and women's shoes. So in shoe stores I can grab the same sneakers from the women's and the men's section. Just sort the damn shoes by size and let people pick the ones they like ffs.
