  • There's a million illnesses that can make you dumber. It's hard to think when you have constant back pain. It's hard to think when you're constantly tired for no reason. long covid famously causes "brain fog". So on and so forth.

  • It's not an ordinal number either

  • SteamOS for Desktop is imminent

    Do you have some source? I recall the latest rumor related to a valve patent is more likely to be about some VR thing than a steamOS PC

  • If you hand wash your clothes and process all your food from scratch you're most likely the exception.

  • That is mostly a myth. They may have worked less than people at the height of the industrial revolution, but even a laborer who was paid a salary had to spend at least several hours per day on average on "not work" things like food preparation, home maintenance, feeding livestock, gathering firewood, repairing and cleaning clothing. Many tasks that are trivial today were highly arduous.

    Then to top it all off it was fairly common for the local lord to force them to do extra labor without pay, like maintaining roads or training in a militia.

  • Teams

  • "You want to use teams a bit? We have a session here" "I'd be happy to, actually. Not really, but it wouldn't be bad" "Not really? If you say so, I have a teams session ready right here" "No. No. I'm not stupid" "People use it every day." "Tell the truth" "It's a good user experience." "So are you ready to use it? For 5 minutes?" "No, I'm not an idiot."

  • Most people may miss this detail, but "pisscorp" comes from the old discord logo's stylized Ds looking like a hebrew letter that is pronounced almost like P

  • Taleb's mind just isn't antifragile enough. Or maybe too antifragile. Idk I didn't read his book

  • Neuroplasticity does drop with age, but the drop is smaller than it was previously assumed to be, especially outside of early childhood (you may note that eg. this graph starts at 20 years old)

  • wtf is up with that confidence interval(?) though

  • They already have almost all of the discrete gpu market, they'd have to expand to new markets (although they are kind of exploring that already)

  • "Me" is also one of the "grey NPCs" sooo

  • Originally planned to post it in this format but thought too much reaction within reaction would be bad (and including mr. theo ai glazer felt questionable)

  • I wish I knew

  • club penguin (it's ok, the twitter reply formatting is impossible to understand)

  • But orbiting a point 1 meter outside the sun is not orbiting the sun?

  • You were the one that brough up the comparison in the first place.

  • I was going to say there was no actual evidence, but huh, I actually fell for some of the tankie lies after enough time. China's deputy health minister Huang Jiefu repeatedly publicly acknowledged that most organ transplants came from death row inmates, and separately China was exporting organs to south korea on a massive scale prior to 2007.

    (though it's notable that this has not been connected to the Uyghur situation specifically)

    (Also noting that it's Israel claimed to end the practice in 2000, while China claimed to end the practice in 2015)
