@JMayer121@constans My wife tells people that I'm the only man she's ever been in a relationship with who is unequivocally smarter than her and that it was a big part of why she married me.
@diemoder "We shouldn't worry about side effects from psychoactive medication because a very small number of people might go through what the mentally ill experience every day, who cares?”
@dollars_34@baranskocracy Perhaps that's the case but the boomers this person runs into do carry cash so that's not really relevant to this discussion. He didn't say zoomers do this.
@baranskocracy Having spent time with old people I fully believe some are miserable enough to do that but most of them just don't want a bunch of bills in their wallet.
@nobody776144859@Lukecleans Requiring your contractors to have personal transportation does not make them employees. It means you don't hire contractors who won't show up and make you look bad. Are you an actual idiot or just being contrary to entertain yourself?
@michaelpatron0@cleartheshelf Math I'll give you but they can clearly read and write. There aren't even any spelling errors. Hell, their handwriting is way more legible than mine. Also unless the references are fake they know how to work in a warehouse.
@LizzosDietician Yeah, and? The natural male sex drive is basically rape, that's the real face of "the pursuer", a rapist. But in society that's unacceptable so most men are conditioned against it. We can't follow our natural mating patterns in civilization so compromise from instinct is required
@ActualJC@laurapalmerceo It just sounds weird. You can calculate something to be arbitrarily small because there's an infinity of numbers between 1 and 0. But an IQ of 1000 is meaningless nonsense that couldn't possibly be tested in any way by the terms of the metric itself.
@sakatgirl Because those are labels and not reality. The women on the left aren't actually "horse girls", whatever that may mean to the reader, and the women on the right are not objectively "intimidatingly beautiful". Those are designations a person chose or an LLM vomited up, not truth.
@Titi_Suru The only response I can think of to the 2025 prompt is to say that Osaka's claim isn't valid because she's an athlete delivering a spur of the moment platitude to a pointless question from a reporter and that its inclusion here calls this test's validity into question as well.
@direcrap@grievous_angeI People can wear what they like, just my thoughts on the style. Full cowboy, better yet, rhinestone cowboy beats corporate cowboy every time. Carhartt cowboy is a thing I don't get but it's probably comfortable, I'll say that.
@grievous_angeI I probably default to "Dallas" in my head to be honest. It is funny so many people seem to think everyone in Texas used to be a cowboy. Western wear is popular because of country and western music, not cattle drivers who faded away in the 19th century!
@grievous_angeI I guess it came from feedback from country and Western music and when the musicians moved up market they incorporated the clothes into a new style them that became the look people aspired to. Nudie Cohn was a big influence. But without the flamboyance it doesn't work as well.
@grievous_angeI I don't get just wearing the boots, or even worse the boots, hat and a bolo tie. Go full rodeo or go home. It's like wearing a Hell's Angels vest full of patches, motorcycle boots and a leather cap with a dress shirt and slacks.
