@Demolition_d "half a gram for a half-holiday, a gram for a week-end, two grams for a trip to the gorgeous East, three for a dark eternity on the moon..."
@xsvinvestment@GenericSnarky Farm subsidies don't exist because farmers are lazy or great at lobbying, but because the strong dollar would make food production unprofitable due to labor costs, exposing the country to starvation
@LuckyCat12901@usuallypregnant Women have wombs, men don't. Therefore in a society of humans women are also responsible for the men's ability to reproduce. Even for other women, the amount of children determines their future old age safety and benefits. So it's obligatorily a public resource for society.
@deeznutsyo@philipe_the_don@usuallypregnant All developed countries are in a demographic crisis. By 2030 most countries will be paying double the pension contributions they're paying now per worker. This is a problem that needed solving 20 years ago and wasn't. It's the real reason pension ages keep getting raised.
@LuckyCat12901@usuallypregnant Say you have a metric ton of gold. You're not doing anything with it. People tell you "you should be using your gold, it's a waste!" But you begin raging that you're being judged for not doing so. No one said it's their "sole value", but it's a massive value that's being wasted.
@peachflavor3d The game is indeed much better than it seems. Especially given it was the teams' first attempt at this scale. I would be excited for a sequel taking a few cues from Dark Souls for even deeper gameplay...
@philipe_the_don@usuallypregnant Telling women they can avoid having children is like telling men they can avoid working a day in their life. You can do it, but then civilization dies.
@EvaVlaar@SaveEuropeAct Perhaps they missed that "European Values" contain a lot of hanging of royals, tyrants, demagogues and politicians who just happen to displease.
@usuallypregnant It's terrifying to see you go against thousands of years of Christian thought, art and tradition.
Even pagans don't go that far. Paul likely wasn't talking of shoulder-length hair either, because shoulder-length cropped hair was very common in the region. (Paul's "physis")
@Rahll The "weights" of LLMs are a revolutionary type of compression algorithm. The training data is converted and stored as weights. All the LLMs produce isn't original, just stored copyrighted data extracted statistically according to a search query, the "prompt".
@UbermenschMind Thinking with your penis isn't a great move. Reducing genetic variability with eugenics is far more likely to weaken the race, if you know anything about biology. It's an idea for removing some disease predisposition... homogenizing phenotype though? Ridiculously stupid
