I think the point is to start considering a back up plan and then...hakuna matata. Cat's out of the bag. There is no legislation that will stop this. Not unless/until it has some o…

I mean, there's something to be said for letting kids get away with shit. The old version of "actions not having consequences" was not getting caught. It can be enriching to rebel …

Well, it sounds like the numbers were just being artificially inflated in the first place. Now they're being brought down to match reality. Side note, I don't really see how advert…

Companies usually do better year after year until they reach market saturation or until the competition kills them. Once one of those things happens, they start to squeeze blood fr…

So glad you shared this. Been too long since I read this book. Love this part and it's very relevant.

One hypothesis is that the shape of the glans penis serves to push rival sperm out of the way and behind the glans to be scooped out of the vagina. I wouldn't call monogamy unnatur…

Even with written recollections and archives, it's going to be so difficult to follow. Things just change so quickly. The irony and memes that require you to understand 5 other mem…

After thinking about it, those results are probably so high up because people are misspelling "fingering."

Diabetic mother-in-law is on it. Lost a ton of weight, is moving around better, and when I saw her over the holidays last week I felt she was mentally sharper than before. My wife …

I love tons of strange rappers. I think what rubs me the wrong way about Kosher is that he feels inauthentic in several ways. A supposedly Jewish rapper talking about killing peopl…

I love rap and hip hop in general. I find Kosher to be odd. That's all.

The only reason I sometimes hesitate to agree with this line of thinking is precisely because we have the ability to think about free will at all. I can take a moment right now to …

Don't worry guys, I teach 8th grade. You're not missing much. A student recently introduced me to BLP Kosher. That was... an experience. https://youtu.be/xUqDb-p-Ksw?si=kOLnSXlXgfc…

Sorry, I have to politely disagree. Space exploration could save humanity in so many ways. Nevermind the big "what if" discoveries that would impact the trajectory of our entire sp…

So dumb. It's free publicity for the rest of human existence . They should have been begging to have the song included. Even a small chance of aliens becoming Beatles fans and comi…

In the old days? Back-breaking work that's no longer necessary or efficient. In the slightly less old days, probably socialize. Nothing super productive or world changing I assume.…

Lead poisoning is freedom We've always at been at war with Eurasia.

That someone else is a collective of everyone else, as I'm sure you know. Because that's how a good society functions. Either everyone pays to replace the lead pipes, or everyone p…

Yeah Tolkien always used Germanic words when he could. Patrick Rothfuss does this too, which is why his works also sound so pleasant and poetic.

Could you possibly send me an invite? If not, no worries! I like the philosophy as well, and I miss the high(er) quality discussions reddit used to have. I have liked H News for a …

Strongly disagree. There are so many situations in which abusive people (employers, romantic partners, politicians) need to be caught unaware or they won't be caught at all. Obviou…

I find that talk page fascinating. I have only rarely looked into how the sausage is made over at Wikipedia, but I'm intrigued every time I do. Not that anyone asked, but I think h…

Could you elaborate or provide examples? I have never seen what you're describing on Wikipedia.

I'll be the odd man out here - I teach special education and GPT has been a lifesaver. I feed it a complex task or text, ask it to simplify it down to my students' reading levels, …
