Fun fact, whenever filmmakers finish a project involving Nazi iconography like swastikas etc. they destroy it all after they wrap.

So pay a human intelligence to do those things for you :s

Performance–Cost–Convenience, you get 10 points to distribute however you wish.

I mean… We already have robots for laundry and dishes

Sure, I get that and it can be difficult to find a match who’s down with that. They gays have Grindr for that, with filters and labels and shit. But even that gets toxic for some gay men.

I think we still have to deal with the fact that this kind of fishing can make 20 people feel shitty for every one that enjoys the attention. I also think there should be limits on where and how much this behaviour is acceptable.

Like, clearly if everytime you wanted to work out it would get at least annoying if, as an extreme example, you had a dozen women interrupt your workout to ask if you’d be up for eating out their asshole, because it’s hard to find people into that. I don’t know what you’re into, but assuming you’re not or even put-off by ass-eating, I imagine it’d start feeling shitty real quick, especially if you’ve been guarding against women leering at you like you’re a potential ass-eater since you were 12, or that one time your date drugged you at the bar and you woke up with her ass on your face.

Just because you lack reading comprehension doesn’t mean I didn’t say anything.

What’s wrong with my comment? I don’t see how it’s vitriolic or relishing political violence.

It’s strawman rage bait. You can say the same thing about sailing vs combustion engine shipping, programming via C on notepad vs modern development environments and languages, etc.

The missing context is the time required when you know what you’re doing. And yeah sometimes walking is still faster than driving a car. But let’s not pretend we’re not seeing a major shift like industrialization or the internet. Both of which have fucked up society and the world in countless ways as much as it has benefited us.

I can write a solid 10 page well-researched paper out of a library in two weeks. With the internet, I can write that same paper with even better research in one week. With AI tools, I can write that same paper with better readability, conciseness, and overall editing in a couple days.

What’s the cost? Probably not pretty, but the deadline is a lot shorter than it used to be now. And that’s the reality most people will find themselves in now.

I’m confused. Is this thread supposed to be sarcastic? There’s a certain point where low-brow satire simply becomes more of the same cesspool of vitriol it criticises and this thread feels a lot like that.

You don’t need to put every thought out into the world. And you don’t need to amplify every instance of someone posting their inside thoughts by making an online collage of them.

The generous take might be that they’re just being realistic and blunt about marriage: historically and even in many modern social contexts, marriage is more an expression of resource security/stability than an expression of love.

It’s not how we like to talk about marriage–the motivations, values, and ideals that make marriage meaningful… But sociologically, security/stability typically plays a pretty big role.

Don’t these losers have jobs? Or is this the job /Sarcasm

You ever look up how RAM is manufactured?

I mean, in-person North American boomers had the effusive smile. Basically the same thing.

Whoever is forcing this dilemma is doing something wrong. Sue them for a fat payday… or chose violence.

It’s a fictional vignette with a contrived twist. You should argue that the boyfriend reveal doesn’t make sense.

The original sentiment this is a variation on is showing up for a stranger who seems uncomfortable or feeling harassed in an unwanted social interaction by giving them an invented out. That’s what most people are assuming the context is.

You make the point that not all men who hit on women at the gym are rapists/creeps, they just need to learn social norms. Well, this is a social norm: going up to a stranger with no context/prior conversation and saying “Your body part is appealing to me, want to go out?” Is not socially okay because it’s perceived as leery and objectifying, like you’re shopping for a car, not trying to form a connection.

Here’s another social norm: Chat people up at the gym and see if they’re even open to having a normal fucking conversation with you like you’re both human beings. Learn something about them if they are. Then go from there.

TL;DR: Hit on people in a humanizing way, not in a creepy way.

I believe the regalia is state-owned, unless you have a source for your claim?

The crown jewels are state-owned and might as well be part of the UK’s gold reserves worth 30 billion. Given the historical, cultural, and symbolic value, I’d say they should dip into the gold reserves first to solve homelessness and fund the NHS.

You can certainly have a debate about where some of those rocks came from and their ongoing possession by the UK tho!

“Information wants to be free…” No! Not like that!! 😫

Not anymore, it runs off AI. All you have to do is feed the data centers catastrophic amounts of fresh water.

Fuck Trump. That being said, you ARE actually making this up. From the article, they’re revoking the co-owner’s wife’s I-130 because they don’t have proof they lived together while married. The co-owner has not been deported and he has not lost his green card.

-edit- There is a notice from one company issuing a lawsuit saying he was detained and had his green card revoked (June 9). He was released on bond on July 7, i.e. not deported thus far. Green card status unconfirmed.
