I’m gonna be brutally honest here, as I don’t care about the downvotes, but the amount of insanity and taboo around sexuality on - presumably predominantly American - online forums is indeed hard to bear. Always ready with the negative connotations: skimpy, slutty, cooties, cheating, home-wrecker; don’t even eye your cousin, that’s incest, therefore the worst thing in the world; a young woman loves a much older man, oh, he must have been grooming or coercing her; don’t masturbate or you’ll go blind, hair will grow on your palms… From a European POV, these seem like compulsory figments of messed-up minds. Love, sex - why can’t they just be there? So people can enjoy them? Why must people shit all over everything that brings joy? Even when mentioning these taboos “ironically,” such people perpetuate a culture of prudery and I don’t want it to creep into my own culture.

I might completely lose my mind if I had to record the inane drivel my boss is spewing, and train an LLM with it. But if it would rid me of him, I’d still do it.

Let’s call it a five-finger discount. 🖐️

Going down a Wikipedia Plutonium rabbit hole, I just realized that the Metropolis algorithm was named after a real person.

Wake me up when he has his vial of Francium ready.

I didn’t know he was Georgian

“We still talk about you”

Having not seen the subtitle, I thought at first that this was a drawer full of rods and belts and whatever else they used to beat the autism out of kids, back in the day.

7 is the the type of pen that lasts me the longest. They seem indestructible. All other types disintegrate in my hands after a year or so.

It’s moronic. Currently, decision makers don’t really understand what to do with AI and how it will realistically evolve in the coming 10-20 years. So it’s getting pushed even into environments with 0-error policies, leading to horrible results and any time savings are completely annihilated by the ensuing error corrections and general troubleshooting. But maybe the latter will just gradually be dropped and customers will be told to just “deal with it,” in the true spirit of enshittification.

Good social commentary, but that’s not how a human pelvis looks. Also, I’m skeptical about the number of ribs.

With all due respect, but he seems to have been talking out of his ass here. Either that, or he’s been reading legal language. Or maybe language was that different in his day.
I’d argue that nowadays, in German, very nested sentences are seen as “good style” in poetic writing only. Plus, the tenses he mentions are an issue specific to English language which has like 23 of them. In German, I’ve heard people with a Master’s degree get by with using one (1) for any situation in everyday life.

Pineapple and hedgehog are some examples which are compound words in English, but not in German.

Wikipedia never ceases to amaze me.

I have a feeling he’ll be the one to invoke Article 5, accusing Denmark of some “aggression” or another in his completely fucked-up authoritarian style.
