Cracked in it’s prime was fucking amazing.
Like, it’s the type of “just stay here” website everyone keeps trying to make.
On any random day they’d post like an article every 15 minutes. No matter when you needed to kill 15-30 there was something funny and usually informative.
There was probably 5 years straight I didn’t poop without reading an article on Cracked.
There’s no other quality stream of content like that since.
low empathy is a cognitive issue one cannot help
Nope, even without ASPD empathy is a learned skill that has to be developed. And someone with a totally broken oxytocin system can still conciously be empathetic with effort. I literally do it every day.
I do not need empathy to care for people.
Literally what empathy means…
No…
The first amendment protects against censorship by the American government, ideally at least.
Private companies can and do censor shit constantly, and that is definitely censorship.
You’ve just seen people repeat it about the first amendment, didn’t understand it, and are attempting and failing to regurgitate it
And if people see you using it wrong, they’ll start off from an even worse position.
All you’re doing is exacerbating the problem you think your fixing.
AI is the logical conclusion to McKinsey analysts…
Why pay a “coming soon ceo” to tell you to fuck over workers and raise CEO pay when you can program a computer to do it?
If it doesn’t tell them what they want to hear, it means it needs “tweaked” if it tells them their pre-existing opinion is right, then it’s not their idea anymore and the AI is to blame when it backfires.
The goal isn’t to treat addiction.
It’s to repress urges to make their followers frustrated, angry, and willing to overthrow modern society…
It’s not a new tactic. But it’s hard to convince young men to stop jacking off.
It’s weird to see people still think taller = healthier when we have decades of research showing that’s almost always the opposite.
Like, you need proper nutrition to grow to max height, but that’s different for everyone and once you crack 6 feet there’s a bunch of random issues, even significantly higher cancer rates just because there’s more of you for solar radiation to travel thru.
But mostly biomechanical issues because just increasing the size of everything x% across the board doesn’t work. Eventually it fails or wed have evolved to all look like Andre the Giant by now.
Everyone always just thinks about a five minute interaction between a bigger and smaller caveman, but there’s more that goes into evolution and successfully passing on genes long term than winning a 2 minute fist fight.
There are a few countries out there that people love to hate
This whole post seems like you’re intentionally not saying a country because everyone would agree it’s a right-wing authoritarian government with no internal press freedoms and a population in updated with propaganda whose Internet is sanctioned as a result of human rights abuses by their government…
Like, most people don’t just “love to hate” random countries, and most people who complain about “haters” won’t acknowledge any of their own flaws
So…
What countries are you actually talking about?
Yes…
This is an incredibly low empathy question.
Things that you’re not aware of still matter.
And this should be obvious, but a woman is a human, if she was really liberated from something, she would be aware of it. There is literally always an observer unless you’re so far gone you really don’t think a woman counts…
If that was a revolt then literally everything is a revolt, so why did you use a word that you believe to be meaningless and capitalize it like trump does?
No it wasn’t…
America was “founded” because the people who got rich early from none forcement of smuggling didn’t want to just stand by while the English government started to finally collect on due taxes.
It’s fucking crazy people still believe the shit we learned in elementary school.
It was “new money” revolting against “old money” and they only won because the French royal family wouldn’t too piss off the English royal so much it cost them their heads.
Just block people.
And they can block you too.
There’s a lot of weird people on Lemmy, that’s not a bad thing, it’s normal for online spaces at this stage. But some people will dominate your time if you let them.
Most recently, someone accused me of trying to manipulate people because of my age and gender.
“Online no one knows I’m not a dog”
That type of stuff rarely comes up, so when people just constantly mention it, it gets noticed.
So just stop saying it, and problem solved
Then what created your higher power?
The question is the same, you latched onto an additional point and acted like it not applying invalidated everything else…
Logic ain’t going to work, I’m sorry.
Then a higher power is an absolutely unnecessary step that provides zero benefit…
There’s only one test that ever mattered but modern tech made it outdated:
https://youtu.be/4df17uZyMs8?t=119
The principle is the same tho, just in general that little things are done by both parties to make it easier on the partner.
If a guy took the time to open a manual locked car door for his date to let her in first, and she didn’t take the two seconds to open his door, it may not be a reciprocal thing.
But the downvotes are because “test” indicates pass/fail. People get nervous around people they like and they may act stupid or insensitive just because you’re distracting them.
Green/red flags are better. Most shit is at most a caution.
Nah man, I just meant this one specific point, which is why I put it in this thread…
Shane Gillis said it best (paraphrased):
Racism is a lot like being hungry, most people aren’t always hungry. Some people are, but everyone gets hungry under the right conditions.
But it’s all the “isms”, they’re all just different ways to describe “in/out group bias” which older than humans, primates, and considering birds even mammals.
It’s a fundamental part of human life.
The only problem is people weren’t getting socialized first due to distance and then due to instuitional laws. And as people age they fall back on earlier “in/out group biases” of what they were exposed to as young.
Everyone can be guilty of “doing an ism” and most of the time not even realize it, really mean it, or even control it. The brain just stressed and falls back on that shit.
We fix it by understanding it and working towards the current new generation getting properly socialized and motivated enough to keep doing it
That’s why conservatives fight so hard against “indoctrination” seeing a demographic exists when young is all it takes to stop them from becoming “them” later. They’re just another member of the tribe to our monkey brains, they’re always be “us”.
Then it takes twice as much faith to believe a higher being existed before anything else…
It’s a chicken/egg.
If you want to be the most scientific these days it’s bubbles of reality getting created when two dimensional planes intersect or just come close to bumping up together. Which forms a bubble dimension which would have essentially random physics every time.
Which is pretty fucking far down the line to “nothing” but at the end of the day, what created the planar dimensions?
All adding a higher power does is add an extra step. Maybe it’s there, maybe it’s not.
It changes nothing. Because something created that first.
There’s energy/matter and no matter what we come up with to rationalize that (even the Matrix) it doesn’t explain it the whole way through, all of this is fundamentally impossible and we just have to accept that.
And also even if there’s an afterlife, were unlikely to get all the answers, because it almost certainly be some sort of middle management higher being who is just as ignorant of what made it, till maybe if/when it dies in which case our “ever after” has an end date.
Like, everyone just has to eventually reach the point they stop caring and settle for a personal “good enough”. Organized religion just gives everyone a set playbook which makes it easier to accept.
Huh?
There’s no ethical way or no ethical reason to kill them?
There’s both, it’s just bugging me that I don’t understand how I disagree with you.
You ever hear about the real weird shit where consciousness predates biological life and wife it will arise everywhere that a form of life could be supported?
Theory goes there’s there’s “aromatic rings” of simple chemicals that will naturally arrange into a structure that is 100% not alive. Kind of like a virus, but completely immobile and can’t directly interact with something as big as a cell, these are literally a dozen or so atoms strapped together.
These proto-consciousness can only experience two sensations, and due to arrangement will “prefer” one and avoid the other arrangement. They’re super basic and it’s really that binary.
However because they can act like a virus on an atomic level, they change things with the only drive to make things that look like them on an atomic level, because the only thing they experience is that is “good”.
It’s sounds nuts because I’m just going off memory, but shits a pretty big theory.
And is backed up with stuff like how when a crystalline structure is first synthesised, it will eventually be replaced by a different structure that took more initial energy to be produced initially. But after a “seed crystal” (again, atomic level) is present, it will quickly and effectively destroy any synthesis of the original polymorph.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritonavir#Polymorphism_and_temporary_market_withdrawal
And fuck me if that isn’t the missing link between basic aromatic rings and viruses towards the evolution of life as we define it.
And I’m not saying “missing link” as just an expression…
They were intrigued by a molecule called ribo-aminooxazoline (RAO), which they discovered could react to form two of RNA’s nucleotide building blocks. RAO is among a rare class of crystals that enforce a single chirality: Once a crystal starts to grow from either right- or left-handed versions of the molecule, only molecules with the same chirality can bind to the structure. Such crystals, if they started with an initial bias, could have caused chiral RAO to build up.
We need a good explanation for why a bunch of random shit lines up in one of two distinct and binary alignments because life needs that. And that’s what this this
Meaning life could spring up anywhere at any moment which is what you’re talking about.
Bonus pessimism:
https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/mirror-life-risks-molecular-chirality/
Just because “our” side won the alignment war here on Earth, doesn’t mean that’s true everywhere. It could just have easily went the other way and developed what we call “mirror life” and scientists are actively trying to create it right now even tho that could wipe out everything bigger than basic bacteria…
That’s why it’s controversial, it gets the people going…
Even with all the disclaimers input in there with it, I 100% knew someone would say it was racist for zero logical reason, even without me saying that’s the reason it’s controversial.
It changes absolutely nothing about how we all evolved from an (actually insanely small) population that lived in Africa very recently on an evolutionary timescale. If anything it debunks racist beliefs that there’s large divides between who left and stayed.
But well intentioned people get mad and call me a racist, every single time.
Shit man, I tried…
Those aren’t “articles” there’s like a paragraph, and then a shit ton of pictures with text.
Fucking got my hopes up and everything, I’m gonna remember this one for April Fool’s though. Right up until you scroll down the first time it’s super convincing that it’s back.
