    Everyone fucking talks about it actually and I’m not a furry and hear the constant complaining online about needing a 6 figure salary to support your fur hobbies.

    I have a feeling you chumps are just paying top dollar to some rare artists that are willing to sew weird shit and essentially charge fetish prices.

    Work means surviving. You either have the energy for it or you’re fucked.

    “Training” can be a fancy way of saying you are very focused on one aspect of athleticism for your health, and you’ll discover that you have more energy for other things if you maintain your health and exercise. At first you feel like you don’t have the energy for it, then you do it, then you have the energy for that and more.

    Also many sleep way better after getting healthier, so it builds upon itself even more. Some people struggle with sleep apnea and shit like that, and one reason is the tongue holds a lot of fat. Lose weight and you sleep better. Sleep better and it’s easier to lose weight and have energy to do other stuff. It’s the opposite of a downward spiral.



  • I don’t think they’re falling for it as much as using it as an excuse. It’s a “we must win at any cost” mindset, believing some enemy ideology won over half the nation and they might as well cheat, because they see drag queens on TV so the liberal media brainwashing the nation is the way they’re being cheated.

    In any case that’s the lie conservative voters are being sold, that this new age ideology and “woke mind virus” is winning and now they have to do anything to stop it. I doubt Johnson believes it as much as is a huge fucking gaping pussy that is falling in line to stay relevant politically.

    Conservative politicians are like the dude working at the register who steals money from it, then tells the boss the other guy is stealing from the register. Then when anyone blames him, they can say “I said it first”.

    The main world championship and title of GM is open to everyone, so it’s not truly split.

    There are FIDE women only tournaments but that’s due to there being less participation of women. When you have something like this where the skill distribution is gaussian, if you have like 50 women compete and 1000 men, you will notice that it’s extremely unlikely for a woman to ever reach 1st place just due to statistics. Replace women and men with brown hair and blond hair and you’d see the same phenomenon.

    The tail of the statistics where you see extreme deviations of improved skill would be dominated by the population with much larger participation.

    To counter this, they have women only tournaments so that you always have a woman in 1st place in some tournament, basically to improve participation and convince more girls to play when they’re young.

    There are of course probably other factors but these things improve participation and are meant to help get more women in chess, not separate them out.




  • The reason they don’t market it that way is because the market they’re trying to convince are the people that want to replace workers, and pretend this is the next industrial age that puts humans out of work. They want you to think it does all your writing for you, not that it assists you here and there.

    That’s what makes people invest the hardest, and it’s the biggest lie they can sell for the most money. If you don’t adopt AI, you’ll be like a horse and carriage competing with trains! That’s why every dumbass business owner is shoving AI down your throat. They believe there’s a risk that you’ll implode if you don’t adopt it early. You’ll stop being competitive.

    They ignore the obvious wins we’ve taken advantage of, where people are like, “huh okay this might give me good advice sometimes if I take it with a grain of salt”, and “actually it helped me storyboard my idea and find flaws before I even started writing”, and “it actually helped me understand the history of the Ottoman empire and why they were like that, and that history can be reflected accurately in my novel now”.

    These are the rational use cases which people are discovering it’s pretty helpful. But those rational use cases don’t prove that it will replace the workers, so it’s not sold as a tool. It’s being sold as an eventual replacement for the working class. Businesses would be a hell of a lot more skeptical about spending $50k on Claude if they knew it didn’t eventually mean laying off $500k in payroll. If it just means their workers are a little more efficient… Well fuck that, that doesn’t save money.

    It’s going to take some time for shit to get normal. Investors will eventually learn they’re losing money. Once they bubble bursts, eventually people will learn when it’s useful and it’ll be a bit more niche.
