What the fuck

I… actually don’t think I’ve ever met someone that smelled like literal shit. Some homeless people that smell like piss, sure, but that has other reasons.

I almost feel sorry for these people, surely this idea of not wiping has to come from somewhere and it’s not something they came up with.

A while ago I had a mini existential crisis about how things existing at all just makes no sense, and eventually concluded that things existing at all means that “nothing” is in some way unnatural and has a chance to become matter, which would then imply infinite universes as there would have to be infinite “nothing”, since that’s what would be outside our universe.

So yea, I’m thinking it’s probably large somethings for forever, always getting larger.

That just depends on what you consider the default state to be. Claiming that humans have self awareness, but other animals do not, implies a relationship between species and capability for self awareness. The null hypothesis would imply a lack thereof.

It would be correct and good to acknowledge that we simply don’t know whether a given species is self-aware unless evidence points to one or the other direction. And that is very relevant for moral philosophy.

I’ve always found that assumption very weird and figure it’s rooted in human exceptionalism. Like we must be super special somehow. The more natural assumption to me seems that other animals, given their similar biological makeup, think rather similarly to humans.

Not everyone is min wage, so the price increase will never be as high as the wage increase. Unless a products entire supply chain is only min wage workers.

They do, but HIV infections can take a while to turn up positive while already being transmittable.

Actively breeding is much faster than evolution, and the current rate of change is too fast for evolution to keep up. Eventually something new will fill the niche, but that doesn’t help humanity.

Honestly if you approach genshins probabilities for 5* with anything other than “50% i get at max pity, 100% at 2x max pity” you’re doing it wrong so I’d argue in that sense it’s dead simple. 4* being less guaranteed feels like a problem though, you’re not that much more likely to get the 4* you want from a banner than the 5*, and there’s no guarantee you’ll ever get it at all. And ime a LOT of people don’t realize that (though I still don’t think getting a rough idea of that is particularly complicated).

Having outright “if you spend x in game currency, you are x% likely to get the thing you want” info does seem like a reasonable requirement.

And personally the reason i spent more on genshin than any other gacha is that i had a reasonably priced guarantee instead of having to gamble at all, it felt more like buying chars for a set price with bonus loot boxes.

I thought they did that at the start of the year

If you want to hate them more, there were cases of wikis moving off the site and fandom just deciding to restore the content after the maintainers deleted it, claiming everything written on the site is their property. Absolute shithole and I refuse to use it if there are alternatives.

From what I’ve seen you have crossdressers self identifying as trap (a subgroup of all crossdressers and I could see how the term would be offensive to the rest as well) on one side and people that are unaware that group exists and think trap is exclusively a derogatory term for trans ppl (or think enjoying crossdressing MUST mean you’re trans) on the other.

It’s a whole mess as any offensive language tends to be, because words rarely ever only have one meaning and there’s also more than one language in the world but terms still cross from one language into others.

Honestly as long as you’re trying to be considerate of others I don’t think anyone can fault you, and that goes for everything. People will try to speak for everyone, but even when they do speak for the majority there are usually exceptions.

Those are probably fine, yeah. Though germany has just as much of an issue with “flushable” wet wipes to my knowledge. I’ve certainly never encountered actually flushable ones in the wild.

Really cool product though, needs to become more widespread (or just bidets lol)

It’s insane. Of course we can’t just jail a corporation and just shutting them down forcibly would cause more problems than it solves, but really that fine needs to be at least 50 times as high. Probably 100 times. Something that hurts, a lot. Not enough to outright bankrupt them, but enough to do that if it happens again any time soon. Their yearly revenue is 72 billion. This is the equivalent of someone making 50k a year paying a $200 fine for gross negligience that killed people. What the fuck?

I think germany could have gone worse, and people are quick to see that the AfD has the second most votes and cry disaster, but reality is that left wing votes are just split between more parties. Overall “cdu and further right” seems to bd about evenly split with “left of cdu”.

But still, compared to both the previous EU election and the most recent national election, it got quite a bit worse. CDU and AfD combined were at 36% in the last national election, they’re up by about 5% each, and that while the CDU has been getting closer to the AfDs position in recent years.

It should be a net benefit for society. Any system in which it isn’t is a very flawed system. Like most of the world right now.

Yea that “joke” that doesnt even have a punchline is just acting like jews act the way israel does. Which is rare if it happens at all.

I played it on a pc that was ok at the time and the physics engine glitched out so things that were supposed to be sitting still on top of/next to each other would randomly collide and sometimes fly off. Still had fun with the game though.

It’s not, that guy constantly tweets this sort of joke. The shutterstock thing is just part of it.

This is literally just you being used to one system but not the other. 16 to 26 sounds like a massive difference to me because it is. And decimals exist.

I work in QA, my colleague is exactly this guy. Breaks everything without even trying. Doesn’t even have much of an IT background, but man he’s good at breaking things.
