Oh, I see your mistake. Those are Samsung fridges. Nothing has a shorter lifespan than a Samsung fridge. Since there are two they will die together to maximize the inconvenience factor, and they thus must be clicked simultaneously. That is the only way a fake Samsung fridge could mimic the frustration caused by a real one.

Our instincts draw from pretty far back in our biological origins as well. The notion of mimiclike predators is pretty damned ancient and likely a factor for very earliest common ancestry.

Ragnarok314159 ,

Mimiclike predators sound like psychopaths. Which, very much would be a reason we evolved uncanny valley, but they learned to blend in.

There’s also the concept of gender blindness until it became necessary to differentiate between groups and eventually people.

Sorta like the story of the color blue.

MindTraveller ,

Psychopath isn’t a real mental disorder, it’s just Latin for mentally ill person.

hellofriend ,

Psychopath is derived from Ancient Greek… And even besides that, laymen generally use the term to describe ASPD despite the two conditions not being entirely the same. Don’t be obtuse.

MindTraveller ,

Yes, I’m aware that the word has been used as a slur against people with ASPD and other mental illnesses, what’s your point?

intensely_human ,

Hey man as long as you behave prosocially, it’s none of my business what your emotional life is like.

barsoap ,

The best non-DSM category for socio/psychopath I’ve come across is the lack of affective empathy, but intact cognitive empathy. (non-DSM because that’s just symptom clusters not aetiologies, you quite literally need to have broken laws to be diagnosed with ASPD). Then you have a look at what skills are useful to have as a surgeon, like not flinching when you cut into people, and their character traits including their bedside manners, yep there’s plenty of perfectly integrated psychopaths around. Same goes for pyromaniacs fire departments are full of them, you only ever hear about the ones who don’t get the curve.

    It’s not a bad thing to allow members to all communicate with everyone. If I joined a discord server and didn’t have permission to participate immediately (or after filling out the survey/age verification/etc.), I’d leave. If I was that shameless a streamer, I’d lie on the survey.

    LwL ,

    Allowing everyone to ping @everyone is asking for it though.

    knorke3 ,

    Depends on the server size and the people usually on it tbh.

    LwL ,

    If it’s a public server (which the op would imply) then it’s a problem because any idiot could join. Of course for some small server with friends it’s fine. Though I have it off on mine anyway because people assume they don’t have perms and will just write @everyone anyway

    Caroline, every time. Easy choice.

    Sweet Home Alabama really grinds my gears. Neil Young sings about systemic racism in the south and Skynard retorts ‘yea some people here are racist ♪ but not all of us are ♪ frig off Neil Young♪ whoa now look at the sky’. Horse shit lyrics, sick composition.

    harrys_balzac ,

    But “Sweet Caroline” is problematic in a different way. From Wikipedia - “Diamond has provided different explanations for the song’s origins. In a 2007 interview, he stated the inspiration for the song was John F. Kennedy’s daughter, Caroline, who was 11 years old at the time it was released. Diamond sang the song for her at her 50th birthday celebration in 2007. On December 21, 2011, in an interview on CBS’s The Early Show, Diamond said that a magazine cover photo of Caroline as a young child on a horse with her parents created an image in his mind, and the rest of the song came together about five years after seeing the picture. However, in 2014, Diamond said the song was about his then-wife Marcia, but he needed a three-syllable name to fit the melody.”

    He wrote lyrics about touching each other a few years after seeing her in a photo as a young child?

    FunderPants , (edited )

    Gross, classic rock /pop are full of gross stories like that.

    I’m the opposite. Any time I hear the ‘Caroline’ I get aliitle frustrated.

    ‘Home Alabama’ forever and always.

    It’s infuriating considering that it’s in the first goddamn sentence: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism

    Socialism is an economic and political philosophy encompassing diverse economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production, as opposed to private ownership.

    If those libs could read they’d be very upset.

    mindbleach ,

    Words mean what they’re used to mean. Even the word “government” is wildly different between Europe and the US. We flip out over headlines like the government of Belgium has collapsed! and it’s only as much of a kerfuffle as the House trying to elect a Speaker.

    davel ,
    @davel@lemmy.ml avatar

    If ever there was a real world example of Newspeak, it is how—thanks to class war and three red scares—the working class no longer even has a word for socialism. So now welfare capitalists like Bernie Sanders call themselves socialist despite never calling for the abolition of the private ownership of the means of production. It’s an amazing achievement of the capitalist class’ propaganda machine.

    It also means AI = 0

    Achyu ,

    I’ve heard about an extended version of the equation:
    E^2^ = m^2^c^4^ + p^2^c^2^
    Or E = (m^2^c^4^ + p^2^c^2^)^1/2^

    If so, AI = (m^2^c^4^ + p^2^c^2^)^1/2^ - mc^2^

    Good energy, it just didn’t work here. It would if you had the word bussy: 菊

    feedum_sneedson , (edited )

    It’s literally “crysanthemum”, but that makes it funnier that the other meaning is arsehole. Somebody obviously decided they look similar. Not specifically a male arsehole, mind.

    干爆我的菊花

    This does not literally mean “explode my crysanthemum flower”.

    baseless_discourse , (edited )

    You didn’t translate the first character “干”, originally means “do”, and like in English, eventually evolved to “fuck”, like in “do me”.

    To make things even worse, 干 also means dry, when using a different tone. And 爆 is also a cooking technique, where they stir fry diced (or sliced) meat with very high heat to cook, resulting in a crispy and dry exterior and juicy inside.

    A famous joke is that 干爆鸭子 (when written) can simultaneous mean the delicious “crispy diced duck”, or “fuck the duck until it explodes”.

    feedum_sneedson ,

    I did gloss over that, yes.

    ReakDuck ,

    I felt like the left one is true because my ex who didnt felt like she did understand basic things behaved like a boyfriend is only for joy and beauty and not for talking and fixinf problems.

    I just wanted to help a person who was highly motivated to do sports and healthy diet as thats literally my life. I would accept her when she didnt fake this mindset but she literally put herself into this making me think that I am allowed to talk about such topics.

    She was fat btw. Didnt deserve me after lying a lot, especially about emotions. But she was heavily into “I want a prince as a boyfriend who does everything for me”. Got a new girl that is direct and cant lie and similar to me with health. Loving it.

    Okay, but how does that definition not precisely describe a tool?

    It sounds like it very much is a tool, in the exact usual sense of the word.

    meekah ,
    @meekah@lemmy.world avatar

    I guess they think tools are just things like pliers, wrenches, grinders etc. without realizing they themselves are the real tools they made along the way

    Karyoplasma ,

    They were guinea pigs. Their “tooliness” is just a side effect of the experiment.

    And it’s definitely “multi”
