I think the point the other guy is pointing out, is that good and bad evolutionary traits are often connected - or more helpfully stated, evolutionary traits can have both benefits and drawbacks which don’t immediately seem related to the same trait.
It’s quite possible that octopi sex dementia is just a drawback to another trait which is very beneficial, so the dementia was just a bad aspect of a good trait that propagated forward. This happens all the time in different animal biologies.
Not everything in evolution ends up having a point. So long as a problem does not impact the propagation of children it can end up moving forward to the next generation.
I would guess that if there is an Evolutionary reason, it’s probably that octopi with this drive reproduced More than octopi that didn’t.
“Universal enforcement” meaning what? On its face your proposal sounds fundamentally antithetical to what linux is. It’s an open source environment, meaning literally anyone can create software and post it online. Are you wanting all directories to only accept flatpak? I don’t think that would go over well.
His favorite game Is always one that doesn’t work on Linux /s
Safety inspectors are my homies, wtf
The bottom line is that all crypto is fiat with gimmicks at the end of the day. The only value it has is the perceived value. While with the USD you have a government body proclaiming it’s value, along with a vast network of businesses willing to honor its value with goods and services, with crypto you have a patchwork of individuals - mostly crypto hoarders - proclaiming it’s value, with very few legitimate businesses actually accepting the currency.
If you have the spoons, you should watch this full breakdown. It covers both crypto and NFTs in-depth.
Engagement mugs.
The others are awkward, but the engagement mugs actively fuck everything up worse by adding another human into the equation.
Even without the other human, you have a mug dangling off yours, getting in the way.
And even if you break one of the mugs off, you still are left with a mug with an awkward handle.
Huh, I would’ve guessed that the big concern if crashes increase would be that more people would die.
Of course, how could I forget about profits! /j
Akira kinda moment
I think ‘snack’ cakes
It’s not even that they only accept people that abide by their views - it’s just that they are oblivious to those outside the scope of their lives. They are not people who hate immigrants or other minorities, they’re people who never interact with minorities at all and so get no pushback when they just passively accept the idea that they are stealing all the jobs in the US. They don’t know any trans people and so when they hear that trans people are groomers, they just go “that’s horrible! Someone should do something about that”.
We need to remember that these people are a large portion of half the US we constantly have to fight against. They’re not all just a hateful swarm, there’s variety within that mass. They’re our relatives and our neighbors. A large amount of these people are really just insanely gullible and don’t see past their own noses. That gullibility is a mark on their quality, yes. They can still be decent human beings, despite that. They can also be corrected if you get them to understand, which I’ve done before. Many others have done the same.
You can still be charismatic, a good neighbor, someone who stands up for friends when things start getting rough, a caring person that worries about those around them, and still hold the most batshit insane political ideas. I happen to know multiple people like this.
People are complex, and plenty are good people who have been led to believe the most outlandish shit. They are gullible and don’t put enough thought into what they accept as truth. It is just as attractive to people on our side of the fence to paint everyone else with broad assumptions. It is the nature of Evil, because evil is ultimately a boring thing that we all do every day without thinking about it.
No longer Agent Orange.
He’s President Orange.
This joke is now 8 years late.
“Nets are likely more expensive than living wages” How do you figure?
More over, even if nets were less expensive than a living wage, how would that make the company any less evil?
Yeah, AI text extraction can be very powerful. It’s arguably the thing that neural network systems are best at, and one of the first things. We got them to do.
There’s alot of promise in using this kind of tech for quickly digitizing massive swathes of books. The more complicated part, however, is converting any images in-layed in the text.
Volkswagen has a pretty awesome one but it costs like 10k more for that level of trim.
I am partial to the windshield projection style. It is truly fantastic for keeping your eyes on the road while seeing your speed
It’s for sitting when you hold your homie’s hair back while they upchuck.
That’s got a nice ring to it. You should put that on your tombstone when you say something that pisses off the wrong person.
Speech may be protected, but what you say still has consequences, as it can bring others to action, either for or against you.
That is not how your comment reads. It reads like you think every trait exists as an advantage and propagates because it is a benefit. Plenty of traits propagate as side effects, which is how their comment read to me.
