Explanation by Practical Engineering. The design is genius, and simple

Wasn’t The Book of Revelation just an acid, fever dream fanfic about Nero coming back from the dead? Kinda not relevant.

Yes, but then China fucked us for a few years. They’ve since stopped, which is why the 16 year difference.

Corporate is pushing AI. It’s laughably bad. They showed off this automated test writing platform from Meta. That utility, out of 100 runs, had a success rate of 25%. And they were touting how great it was. Entirely embarrassing.

It’s too clever to be AI nonsense

It’s where the foreskin meets the underside of the penis. It is usually very sensitive

Yeah, cause he takes all the fun parts of their jobs (catching bad guys, killing civilians) and replaces it with paperwork after they wait another hour for the guy in the web to be removable.

I’m sorry. I read the wiki and I’m familiar with this event, but have no idea what your talking about. Is the break-up of AT&T the best example of anti-trust being used in the last 50 years? What was the issue?

… literally is an intensifier. It’s been used as such for 300 years. Making the argument that it should only be used literally isn’t some new thing and it certainly isn’t correct either. Do you also get confused by other words with two conflicting meanings? Do you think a meat cleaver sticks meat together?

Why can’t we? There’s a mountain of non-porn memes, just use those if you want. It’s not like porn memes are the only memes.

Yeah, it’s complete BS that the best looking windows, casement and awning, are almost entirely incompatible with window AC units! Like, I have casement windows in my bedroom and the only solution for putting an AC in there is with a “portable” AC, with a horrid looking fabric adapter that tapes to the window. Terrible, 3/10

this is joke

Water is toxic without you needing to rupture your bladder. I’ve experienced water toxicity before, it gives you a headache and makes you disoriented.

I’m neurodivergent and sometimes need to psych myself up to post something I think is important. Don’t know what else to say. Downvoting is a type of social conditioning and I don’t do well with that, in general.

Fair enough, there were also people that misused the term that also made the messaging worthless as well.

You understand that that campaign wasn’t to promote “being fat” but was, instead, about ending the cycle of despair that traps many people in obesity, right? Like, food is addicting (on purpose, gotta make those profits) and there are people who struggle to eat the appropriate amount of get the correct nutrition. When you pile shame onto people, sure, some will change their habits and get their health back on track. But most people, when confronted with negative emotions, will attempt to soothe the feelings of negativity rather than deal with the source of the negativity. For many people, negative campaigns against obesity will just drive them to consume more. Or, maybe they’ll try a fad diet out of desperation, unknowing that fad diets tend to be focused on quick results that don’t have lasting impacts on overall health. Or even negative impacts, as they’ll fail to stick with the diet and gain even more weight than they lost back.

Health at any size was focused on helping people to make small, meaningful changes that they could keep going with for a lifetime. By attempting to remove the stigma of weight, they were trying to get people out of focusing on their weight and instead focused on what they could do to feel better right now (in a healthy and constructive manner).

But, like most things, people who didn’t understand what was being attempted shit on it endlessly until people stopped trying to do it.

The obesity epidemic isn’t some moral failing of individuals it’s a systemic failing and, until it’s treated as such, the obesity rate will only continue to rise.

I already know this is going to be awash with downvotes (again, soothing negativity rather than dealing with the source) but it needs to be said.
