  • Older people have a much harder time taking on and off shoes so it makes more sense that they leave them on all the time. The same is true for overweight people. (Although I would have thought the old people definition would be >60 not >40)

  • But think of the landlords!

    Jump

  • Why is this right wing or left wing housing?

    I guess you can maybe make an argument that this is centralized planning, trying to make the best use of the land available and that right-wing would be pure chaos where the market decides what's going on. On so you'd have sprawl next to Mansions next to slums, next to McDonald's, and no parks, and every single tiny piece of land has a building on it, and it all must be fully utilized trying make money in some capitalism way?

    Honestly, it doesn't seem the worst way to do it from a housing density standpoint. Yes, we all want the standalone suburb house or some spot in the countryside, but that's not the world we live in. For high density housing, this doesn't seem that bad. Each building has a balcony and overlooks a park and has fresh air and sunshine.... How do you do this better?

    or is it about equality? Every unit here is equal and therefore bad? That seems a positive in my eyes. Is that really the difference here? There aren't the ultra poor and the mega rich all mixed in together... Where the poor are in slums and the Richer mansions, is that right wing architecture?

    What's the best way to build high density housing? Tall buildings surrounded by Parks seems to be the most optimal way, right? What am I missing here? The buildings aren't pretty enough?

  • What's something that you discovered about yourself only after going to therapy?

  • And "utter menace" in what regard?

  • NHS defends cousin marriages because ‘only 15 percent lead to birth defects’

    Jump

  • On the scale of things, I think this rate's a "who the fuck cares?".

    I don't really care if cousins get married. I don't really care if they have kids together. I do care if they have birth defects and we should do things medically responsible to reduce or eliminate birth defects, but the whole cousin thing doesn't really bother me as long as there's no external pressure (like British royalty or stereotypical Southern Hicks).

    Who is really that bent out of shape on this and why should we care?

  • HP reportedly eyes Chinese suppliers for DRAM as global shortage sparks shake-up — analyst says memory chips are commodities that can easily be replaced

    Jump

  • Anything can be backdoor... In, but I'm really struggling to see how you could do something useful with a dram chip. In theory, if it were smart enough, it could analyze the data that's being stored and manipulated in some way, but there's no way a dram module would have the processing power and brains to do anything useful with this.

    And memory manipulation would be about the most it could accomplish because the dram modules themselves don't have signal lines that can control anything. They basically have data alliance address lines, return lines, power ground and control circuitry. They can't affect the rest of the motherboard/ computer other than subverting data... And computers tend to be pretty good at catching memory that doesn't store data properly.

    If you tried hard enough, you could figure out a scenario where this could work, but I don't think this is something we really need to worry about.

  • Let's be realistic here, every time someone tells you so and so is their girlfriend or boyfriend or husband and wife. That means they're getting it on. That means everything in this cartoon except maybe they use protection.

    This is the stupidest load of bullshit meme around. If people tell you they're trying to get pregnant, that's letting you in on their life planning, not letting you in their sex life. They have a sex life, and whether or not they're planning on getting pregnant, they're still having sex. Grow up and get over it.

  • Nuts are just bad.

    Jump

  • So I tried to think of the top three things that I really enjoy with nuts in them:

    1. Ice cream with hardening chocolate sauce and crushed peanuts sprinkled on top (sooo good)
    2. Almond Roca (toffee plus chocolate plus nuts)
    3. Whitefish with almonds on top. (I know I'm not describing this very well, but I've had several fish with nuts on top that have been truly outstanding.)

  • Lost in the Sauce Etymology

    Jump

  • "Lost in the sauce" is an old phrase, at least as long as I've been alive, where "sauce" is alcohol.

  • Google CEO Says We're All Going to Have to Suffer Through It as AI Puts Society Through the Woodchipper

    Jump

  • I'm going to go against the grain here and agree with him. If you look at it as this being a new technology, like robotics or computers, then they will cause disruption in the workforce as people who used to do the tasks are replaced with a technology solution in it's place. That's how the tech CEOs are looking at this, as a disruptive technology that will either replace people in the workforce (tech support being replaced by AI) or make people more efficient (one programmer instead of a team).

    I honestly don't think he's wrong. But just like the two technologies I mentioned above, there will be a limit to what AI can do and it will find it's disruptive nitch and then no longer be cost effective. Back in the 50's or in the 80's computers and robotics were going to drive us all out of work.... but lo and behold, we all still have jobs.

    The real issue isn't AI, but how this will allow the few to capture even more wealth. AI is just a technology step, the ultra wealthy are a crime.

  • Why do you personally hate Christmas?

  • It's just a celebration of winter solstice. My family is as atheist as the day is long, but we still enjoy the trappings of Christmas.

  • I'm sorry your bio family aren't better people. I hope you've found better quality humans to call your family.

  • PhotoGIMP - The Photoshop Like Experience on GIMP

    Jump

  • Excuse me for being out of the loop, but is there a path towards AI photo manipulation coming for gimp? (Or already here?). Basically doing things like generative fill and other AI editing capabilities?

    (I use affinity photo for my photo editing at the moment, so it's been awhile since I've been paying attention to gimp.)

  • What is the purpose of your life?

    Jump

  • This is a bit of a weird question to answer because it depends a lot on context.

    At its core, the purpose of life is to reproduce and guarantee your bloodline passes on to the next generations. That's kind of the heart of evolution. That's great and all but that just means we're here and we have a lot of time in between all that if we even want to follow that purpose.

    Beyond that evolution purpose, I believe that the goal in life is to get as much enjoyment out of life as possible. A lot of that is based on experiences and personal growth. But the reality is that's all a personal choice. You get to make up your own purpose, and that's just one I've made up.

    You do you, but life is short and we don't get a second chance.

  • Parents, do y'all love your children more/less depending on if they reciprocate it? Or do you love your children the same regardless, even if they hate you?

    Jump

  • Holy shit. I feel like I live in a different world than everyone else who's responded to this question.

    Yes, of course I love the kids who reciprocate my love more. It's one of the most endearing things about kids is when they say that I love you and provide that emotional feedback. That doesn't mean if they didn't that I wouldn't love them, but it does mean that if one or two of my three kids got distant that I would probably love them less. That doesn't mean zero, it just means less. I left all my kids in different ways based upon each of their personalities. It always fluctuates and I see it pull on my heartstrings whatever they do things that are loving and kind and giving...

    I guess what I'm really saying is that I'm not 0 to 100% love, I'm talking about going from 70 to 100% or something like that. I will always love my kids, but I love them even more when they give it back.

  • Parents, have you ever said something hurtful to your child that you "didn't mean to say"?

    Jump

  • Honestly, no, I can't really say I have. I'm also not someone who loses my temper very easily and when I do I never start screaming or shouting.
