And I could not do math without the ability to create graphs in my head.

And yeah, reading would be a lot more boring without being able to picture what’s going on. I’ve definitely confused movies and books before because my memory of the book feels just as vivid as recalling a movie i’ve seen.

Um… I hate to break it to you but I kind of do have a tv in my head. So do lots of people.

Unfortunately that’s not how that works. They can’t ‘just buy the company’ because infowars won’t sell to them.

…but they could infringe the fuck out of the ip

Getting a full nights sleep in 30 min sounds WAY better than not sleeping at all. You still get all the benefits of sleep and more time in your day.

Perhaps she was banking on a Clinton win.

Now how could any conversation about esoteric programming languages be complete without mentioning whitespace?

Nah it’s not that rare.

Try XCOM Long War. It will take you 80 years, because you will rage quit a lot.

I think that’s less a boomer opinion and more of a tinfoil hat lemmy user opinion.

(And I don’t mean that as an insult - these days I wear my tinfoil hat proudly. These are dark times!)

I don’t mind the qr code thing if there are also paper menus available, but yeah.

Well that’s a new nightmare fuel for me. Glitchy mattresses.

I feel like I’m pretty tech-savvy… which is why I don’t want software in anything where plain old physics will do the job. Software breaks.

“Cancer risk” can be a lot of things. It’s not like cancer is just one disease - it’s a whole family of diseases. The mechanisms by which something increases cancer risk are many and frequently poorly understood.

Fortunately, the mechanism of action of ionizing radiation and the cancer risks associated with it are well understood, and so we know that bananas are not dangerous.*

(* well, they’re not dangerous because they are radioactive. It could turn out that they’re dangerous for some other reason.)

Thanks for the good work! Education is important!

I couldn’t express it better myself. Although in terms of “having a functioning democracy” the colonizer countries aren’t exactly doing well either. (It’s almost like powerful people will exploit anyone and corrupt any system…)

I’m sure their democracy functions about like everyone else’s - i.e. not democratic at all

Maybe you’re just picky about guys. It happens. If you do find a guy you really like, then you should go for it

Oops, my bad. Enough people have called him gay unironically that I wasn’t sure

He’s literally straight tho

AI overall? Generally pro. LLMs and generative AI, though, I’m “against”, mostly meaning that I think it’s misused.

Not sure what the answer is, tbh. Reigning in corporations would be good.

I do think we as a society need to radically alter our relationship to IP law. Right now we ‘enforce’ IP law in a way that benefits corporations but not individuals. We should either get rid of IP law altogether (which would protect people from corporations abusing the laws) or we should enforce it more strictly, and actually hold corporations accountable for breaking it.

If we fixed that, I think gen AI would be fine. But we aren’t doing that.

Nah kids food is just that popular, because we don’t feed schoolchildren.
