  • Marina Sirtis' memories of Troi's non-standard uniform

  • I never use the tag. Anyone annoying enough that I want to remember not to engage with them, I just default to blocking. Do they post good content or something?

  • grrr

  • Also lining up to take pictures and beg for a turn, if the preponderance of pedophiles in their leadership continues as a trend in the voters.

  • Open-source game engine Godot is drowning in 'AI slop' code contributions: 'I don't know how long we can keep it up'

    Jump

  • Is all AI code tagged "hey, Claude made this puddle of piss code"?

    This is a real "just catch all the criminals" type comment.

  • Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addiction

    Jump

  • A system that benefits people who lie about objective facts should be destroyed.

    If the tactical business decision is to look someone in the face and say "spending 2/3rds of a day, 16 whole hours, idly gazing at photos of anything is not an addiction" in order to protect business interests, then things are wrong. Addiction to a product should be met with horror! Oh no, how could this happen? Instead, it's part of the business model.

    "Business" is a blight.

  • And who says it can't be both?

  • I don't feel that gratified that they're fine with white supremacy but draw the line at pedophilia. Even if they weren't just racist rats fleeing a sinking ship.

  • I am judging....

    Hot.

  • Staff Rule

  • Hey, buddy? That's not a new sentence for a lot of people.

  • it's just science

    Jump

  • Yeah...a time traveller would be able to jump forward less backward in time to check that.

    But Stephen Hawking wasn't a time traveller, he just wanted time travellers to visit him.

  • Shown hidden video files within the Epstein files on the Department of Justice website. Change the file extension from ".pdf" to ".mp4", ".avi", ".mkv", ".webm" etc.

    Jump

  • Clear, and also extremely lazy, attempt to do malicious compliance of file release. These files didn't start as .pdfs. To me, this seems like they were renamed to make it seem like there was nothing to see to the casual and tech-illiterate observer.

  • I think what the person you're replying to was hinting at is the common understanding (at least among those with queer-awareness) of the difference between sexuality and romance.

    A person could be asexual but still be in a romantic relationship that positively engages with Valentine's Day.

    I commisserate with your awful experience as a child, and that picking up the label of "asexual" probably simplifies the dialogue of explaining your situation. It sounds like your trauma affects you in ways that you are effectively asexual (and possibly aromantic). I'm not a mental health expert, just friends with queer people.

    But people will be pedantic about this topic, unfortunately. You're hitting a cross-heading of people that feel strongly about the specific definitions of these sexualities because of how much dis/misinformation there is from bad actors. There is also the reverse-reasoning that asexuality is because of something, like trauma, instead of a naturally-occuring sexuality.

    I don't write this to demean you, invalidate your experiences, or even to "teach" you, but to hopefully highlight a context from which you and some well-meaning person might align yourselves as opponents.

  • Wearing a tie can reduce blood flow to the brain by 7.5 per cent, make you feel dizzy and give you headaches

    Jump

  • You can't debate what is worth human effort without defining a human's purpose.

    And I don't trust anybody who tries to tell me what humanity's purpose is.

  • Wearing a tie can reduce blood flow to the brain by 7.5 per cent, make you feel dizzy and give you headaches

    Jump

  • What? It's a piece of fashion: it doesn't need a "purpose". You want to wear monocolor onesie jumpsuits everywhere?

  • Food firms urge Europe not to ban calling non-meat products ‘sausages’

  • If it's ground up and tubed into a thin, edible casing skin, it's a sausage.

  • Fluxer is another open-source Discord alternative

    Jump

  • I mean, there's literally a job title called "investor",

    Why are we acting like investors are a good thing now? The platonic ideal of "an investor", someone who seeds money and hovers hands-off to watch the investment grow, has been dead so long you could be forgiven for thinking it never even existed.

    Maybe they don't want a single revenue source to present undue influence on development. If their revenue is entirely supported by their premium model and they make a decision bad for the community, money dries up. You think Discord would be doing dumb shit like it is, if they weren't floating off investors and whatever Palantir is throwing at them?

    Of all the things to complain about, the fact that people can pay to have an animated avatar or screenshare in 4K (a resolution that a super-minority of people even have a monitor capable of rendering at) is baffling.

  • What do you think is the worst human invention?

    Jump

  • You need to define "social media" because earlier you named "email" and "zoom" as examples of social media, which sounds entirely wrong. Is talking to people face to face social media too? Have you just conflated "social media" with "communication"?

    And then you say social helped researchers communicate when working on cures? You want to posit that Facebook or Twitter or Snapchat were vital pathways of communication for virologists collaborating on vaccines?

  • Vance tweets about ‘Armenian Genocide’ before deleting post

    Jump

  • To me, this reinforces that Vance is ignoring reality, not ignorant of it, for political gain. Which is worse than being an idiot.

  • Citing National Security, Trump Has Abandoned Fenceline Monitoring at Coke Ovens

  • That implies he has retained any information about his children, which seems unlikely.
