Gloomy

I just saw a video about this some days ago.

I agree, if you feel it is affecting your mental health you should by all means take care of yourself and avoid it. I can understand how this is sensible.

But why the block? Why not disagree and move on with your life?

I won’t block different perspectives. If I disagree I disagree and move on, but why block somebody? I think it is important to have your believes challenged.

This is so fucking cringe that it hurts my brain every time they say it.

Ah, I see. I have been wearing a simple black T-shirt, a black pants that is either a jeans or a cargo pants and depending on the weather a sweater and a jacket for about 25 years now. Hence I am aware how long single clothes may last and was a bit confused, but that makes ydncd now.

Your seven shirts and seven pants only last for 2 months?

Shhh. Let Linus Finnish.

I disagree.

Evolution is not so much a numbers game. Otherwise Bacteria, Ants, Viruses and the like would have to be crowned winners. So the point op brings up is mute moot.

The point you add, that they keep reproducing, is also not relevant in evelotionary terms. The short amount of time that we have domesticated chickens, let a side the very resent industalisation of animal farming (it started in the 1950s ish), is just not relevante in evelotionary terms.

I’d say what makes a successfull species is resilience. 99 % of all species have gone extinct. The “winners” of evelotion are, in my opinion, those species that have lasted the longest. And in that regard, chicken ain’t looking to good. They are highly dependent upon humans. Most industrial chickens are genetic aborninatons, bred for beeing fat, fast growing, egg laying machines to the point where their own bones brake because they lack calcium. I’d argue that chickens in their current form would not last long in “the wild”. Hence once humans are gone their is a high chance chickens will follow.

Chickens are the most numerous bird on the planet

And live their lives in fucking misery and suffering, at least most of em.

I thought the same :-).

Tough, the books make quite the point that it is not “human” intellegence they have.

And this is it. This is how we arrived where we are now.

Nature? KILL IT! EXTERMINATE IT!

We’ve spend 2000 years slowly beeting nature to our wims. It has destroyed the planets ecosystem on a scale only seen by planet wide desasters in the past. We have driven countless species into extinction, and still counting. We take without any regard or resecpt for anything then our own needs.

That is exactly the mindset the comment I am replying to has to me.

Yeah, but try saying something slightly to nuanced about the Israel - Palestine situation almost anywhere here and you get nuked.

Masnick gives 20 levels of development. Elon stopped here:

Level Two: “We’re the free speech platform! But no CSAM!”

And that’s about it. Ex-Twitter has copyright infringement, hate speech and doesn’t give a fuck about local laws unless the law actually has teeth (Brasil, anybody?).

It’s such a shame. Children have so much curiosity for the world.

Adults should realy nourish that, not kill it.

I’ve worked with children in that age range (6 and older) and it’s realy crazy what they come up if you give them a bit of room to experiment with their ideas.

Good point. If the wizard did this you also would never know that such a song existed. Hence your “worst song in the world” spot would be filled with a different song the instant the spell hits.

It shows how such categories as “the worst” and “the best” are only constructions of our mind.

Just that they are actively recruiting people from STEM.

Not only that, we have a couple of social science people around too :-)

Let’s say it’s a postmodern interpretation of the meme idea.

This is the Paper that started it. They used some (at the time) new techniques to 3d model an old fossil they had, if I recall it correctly.

When AI would have been the better choice.
