Wife bad amirite

WldFyre ,

This is a class on anthropology, the point was to challenge the assumptions made when interpreting artifacts/history with little context. No one made anything up lol

WldFyre ,

Professor: Maybe it was a woman? Just consider it with an open mind.

You: This gender absolutism is the enemy™!

WldFyre ,

Is that one as intuitive, though? I haven’t ever heard an intuitive explanation for it.

WldFyre ,

The umbrella term I’d use for all of these is “coding”.

Saying “it’s not programming it’s coding” is like engineer “it’s not dirt it’s soil” levels of pedantry that are silly to expect people outside your profession to know.

Hey, maybe you are engineers after all lol

One of my favorite vids ever lolol

WldFyre ,

How about, and this might be a little crazy, not forcing people to live somewhere?

WldFyre ,

I think forcing immigrants to live in bumfuck nowhere places because you like those places is stupid. You don’t even have an actual argument for it. I think metal music and manual cars should be more popular, so let’s force immigrants to only listen to metal and only drive manual vehicles lol.

Are you also gonna claim that you’re pro-freedom and pro-small government while forcing people to live in your backwater hometown?

WldFyre ,

The level of dialog I expect from a hillbilly smh

The New York Times should not be considered a reliable source of journalism.

The New York Times is one of the newspapers of record for the United States. However, it’s history of running stories with poor sourcing, insufficient evidence, and finding journalists with conflicts of interest undermines it’s credibility when reporting on international issues and matters of foreign policy....

Systemic sexism is when my boss explicitly tells me to be mean to coworkers who are women.

Remedy acquires full rights to the Control franchise from 505 (www.destructoid.com)

Today, on February 28, nearly five years after Control’s initial launch, Remedy Entertainment, the team behind the Alan Wake, Quantum Break, and Control series, released an announcement regarding a deal between them and 505 Games, detailing a full transition to Remedy acquiring full rights to the franchise. While Remedy...

WldFyre ,

Oh no not another launcher, the horror

WldFyre ,

The guy killed himself in a fiery protest to not get attention to his cause?

WldFyre ,

Highly recommend Shokz! Absolutely love mine

WldFyre ,

I don’t get this, I’m sure right-wingers would wish you had the courage, too. Why would you idolize this instead of looking at it like a tragedy?

WldFyre ,

Lol sure. I don’t think it makes sense to have the same goals as a Zionist, personally. You and a Zionist both wish you were “courageous” enough to kill yourself, I don’t see how that could possibly improve things.

WldFyre ,

Are you vegan?

WldFyre ,

A perfect score!

WldFyre ,

Aren’t you from a furry instance lol

WldFyre ,

As a straight white man, I’m vilified by the mob regardless of my positions on anything, and that in itself is a stereotype

Lmao you dingus

WldFyre ,

petty shit

Sure thing, bro!

WldFyre ,

Your list of “petty shit” were either examples of or things that directly impact healthcare and living conditions.

WldFyre ,

Unless you’re the USA, where you dominate a region after the majority of forces are already defeated and then when someone tries to negotiate their surrender you nuke 200k civilians.

Damn when did that happen?? Sounds truly awful

WldFyre ,

Most of your hard g’s have a consonant as the second letter, I don’t think it’s as strong of an argument.

WldFyre ,

Don’t you play Star Citizen?

Why don't rabies infected humans act like rabies infected animals

This always puzzled me. Why don’t humans act much more aggressive or crazed like its often depicted with animals. Afaik there’s 2 types of rabies, “dumb” and “furious” so my question is more towards the 2nd type. For example, we never hear of rabies causing a human to accidentally bite another human so why is that?

WldFyre ,

If we’re blaming people for what their ancestors did hundreds of years ago then Imma need to see everyone your great great great great grandparents all ever did

WldFyre ,

Any sources for that? I’ve never seen anything that indicated that Japan was going to surrender, just philosophizing about if it was justified to drop the bombs.

WldFyre ,

Just some speculation and philosophizing, like I said. It’s not even a consensus with historians.

Thanks for offering some links at least, though.

WldFyre ,

Isn’t Japan extremely socially conservative?

WldFyre ,

Does that apply to using a mouse for a first person game as well?

WldFyre ,

but I also do not have an “awesomely powerful AI on the verge of destroying humanity”

Neither do they lol

WldFyre ,

Worked for 80s metal!

WldFyre ,

What are some of these “rebuttals”?

WldFyre ,

We kill for survival, you kill for pleasure and ego.

Why do non-vegans always have the stupidest takes wrapped up in some pseudo-intellectual bullshit. You obviously don’t believe that someone killing your houseplant or lawn is as bad as someone killing your dog, so why say something so blatantly untruthful and dumb?

And how are vegans killing for pleasure when they have a more restricted diet than you?

Go out and continue the circle of life in your local Publix, you ferocious lion you!

WldFyre ,

Nice to know that you don’t have any arguments. Vegans are the dumb ones for sure! Continue trolling and pretending to be an idiot, that really shows how you have a point and they don’t lol

WldFyre ,

Saying killing plants is morally equivalent to killing animals is not only dumb, it’s also an argument for veganism. It takes more plants to sustain an omnivore diet than a vegan one. All the animals you eat had to eat as well, and it’s not an efficient transfer of calories. Look up trophic levels if you’re actually arguing in good faith.

So I agree! Killing plants is murder! So you should go vegan and stop killing excessive plants for your selfish taste buds.

WldFyre ,

Great counter argument. Eating carcinogens is truly great for your mental facilities.

Six teenagers in court over beheading of French teacher (www.reuters.com)

PARIS, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Six teenagers go on trial behind closed doors on Monday, accused of involvement in the beheading of French history teacher Samuel Paty by a suspected Islamist in 2020 in an attack that struck at the heart of the country’s secular values....

WldFyre ,

His specific personality was being a pedophile.

WldFyre ,

You should read Blindsight by Peter Watts.

Or maybe not idk haha

WldFyre ,

Yeah for sure! On the other hand it being such a dense, philosophical book means it really stands up to and benefits from a re-read! And the audiobook has a great narrator IMO.

WldFyre ,

Oh damn I didn’t know about that! I’ll be reading that this week, thanks for the link!

Echopaxia was definitely different, I wasn’t crazy about it my first read through but it had me shook pretty good my second read through. I highly recommend it!

Is it just me, or has the BS with OpenAI shown that nobody in the AI space actually cares about "safeguarding AGI?"

Money wins, every time. They’re not concerned with accidentally destroying humanity with an out-of-control and dangerous AI who has decided “humans are the problem.” (I mean, that’s a little sci-fi anyway, an AGI couldn’t “infect” the entire internet as it currently exists.)...

WldFyre ,

This leads me to believe that AGI has never been the true commercial goal, but rather an advancement of propaganda media and its creation.

Uh what? Why wouldn’t it be because text/image generation isn’t even on the same plane of difficulty as AGI?

WldFyre ,

Fines should be 10x the damage done

What are your monetary damages for this?

WldFyre ,

Why do you call people “Clyde”? Is that a reference to something?

WldFyre ,

Oh that doesn’t sound bad at all

/s

WldFyre ,

Do tell… is this the first time you’ve actually considered what sex workers themselves have to say about (so-called) “legalization?”

The sex workers with those opinions usually are the already more well off workers who perform escort or cam services, and isn’t reflective of the bottom strata of sex worker experiences. It also doesn’t address how more common sex work leads to higher trafficking rates.

trafficking is not unique to sex work in any way, shape, or form.

Lol I’d love any source on this whatsoever. I’m not sure how you defend this line of thought, or why you feel this way. You don’t think human trafficking shares any of the same risk factors or conditions as sex work?

ROFLMAO!

LOLCOPTER

WldFyre ,

And yet, they don’t have computer-aimed turrets.

I know this is an old post, but just wanted to share. There’s a good argument (and I wish I could remember the source) that in the Star Wars universe, they’ve solved the PvNP problem. That effectively makes the idea of a secure network/computer impossible, since all systems can be hacked trivially. This is backed up by how every system can be easily hacked in minutes, if not seconds, and how security is mostly physical (the only way into this database is at this location, instead of a global network).

That means a much higher reliance on people than you’d expect, since getting hacked is a real threat and easy for your enemy to pull off.

Also, how commonplace sentient droids are, paired with how droids are universally discriminated against means there could have been a replicator/rougue AI incident in the past.

Not trying to say Star Wars is better than Star Trek here, just wanted to share some of the lore!

WldFyre ,

All that’s fair! IMHO it does get a little closer to the nitpicky level of scrutiny that Star Trek doesn’t really hold up to either, you know?

I do think droids are the airgapped system, it’s why the droid army in the prequels had physical droids sit in the seats and operate ships instead of having a main computer run everything.

WldFyre ,

Yeah for sure! At least we have both (well, kinda, Star Wars after The Last Jedi just doesn’t do it for me anymore haha). I think the pre-Disney EU had more effort into fleshing out the world, now it’s even more “rule of cool” than when Lucas was running the show
