Gloomy

That’s a very low bar.

I’ll show myfself out.

I just saw a video about this some days ago.

Sort of, ay.

The judge said Kurtaj’s skills and desire to commit cyber-crime meant he remained a high risk to the public.

He will remain at a secure hospital for life unless doctors deem him no longer a danger.

The court heard that Kurtaj had been violent while in custody with dozens of reports of injury or property damage.

Doctors deemed Kurtaj unfit to stand trial due to his severe autism so the jury was asked to determine whether or not he committed the alleged acts - not if he did so with criminal intent.

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.

Shhh. Let Linus Finnish.

Then there’s the first six months of caring for a newborn, which is intense.

We have 7 month old Twins. Intense is a good word, the last 7 months have been the hardest of my life so far, and I am hitting on 40. That said, it’s far from trauma, as far as I understand the term.

Also, my father and by brother died 10 and 5 years ago, both before they were old aged. I am well aware of the concept of moratility, even of my wife’s and children’s mortality. It doesn’t weigh on me personally, honestly. It’s just a reality that one has to accept, as there is nothing that can be done about it.

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.

Aside from global warming

I get what you are saying. But that improvement has been possible only because of global warming. Today we have more energy (=workforce) at our hands than ever before. This has imported things, but it’s living on bored time Global warming will start to deteriate our world in multiple ways, I fact it is doing so right now.

A collapse of this system build on sand is a very real possibility. And it is a very real possibility that it will take less than a generation to happen.

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.

I agree completely.

It comes down to wanting the best for yourself and only for yourself. There can’t be any other motivation for destroying a whole planet in order to get a live with vastly more money than you could ever spend.

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.
