Do you like all the trek? I thought Lower Decks and Discovery both started great but kind of fell off. I heard Picard was good.

This meme gets funnier and funnier every time I read it!

Crypto enthusiasts don’t really care or understand decentralization. If you talk to crypto bros you will realize pretty quickly that a lot of them are very very low IQ morons.

I was at an event and met a crypto bro. He tried to explain to a group of us that btc is like moss and the world is the forest. A couple people legitimately “got it” and began to get excited about crypto.

For better or worse it is unrealistic to expect business to just eat rising costs just because they got into business before the costs were so high. That would be nice but it’s just not how the world works. If that were true then entire economies would collapse every time there was an economic shock.

That’s a very interesting idea.

Quick question, you say 80% of the carbon is stored in the root and that you can harvest hemp 4 times a year. Do you harvest the roots when you harvest it? Or are you only harvesting 20% of the total captured carbon on each harvest?

It is shorthand for “number”. N°6 is read as “Number Six”.

Get out of here with your reasoning. It’s more fun to feign outrage because it gives me an opportunity to feel smart. If you start to invalidate my superiority by pointing out how arbitrary and dramatic my response is then I’m going to downvote you.

People will still be confused. They’ll “understand” but be unable to generalize

What do you think would be a sensible dress code? Or would you say that all dress codes are bad?

I’m just curious. I don’t have a strong opinion one way or the other.

This post reeks of incel.

This doesn’t actually answer the question.

They are both filled with very ill informed people. I guess that’s all of the Internet though. People who have no clue are the first to give their opinions. The topics that are started by “low information voters” are often most popular with other low information voters.

Well, if your argument is: “any company that becomes a monopoly will abuse monopoly power”, then sure I agree with you. You got me there!

My argument is: “given a reliable financial alternative to advertising, a company will be able to resist enshitification for a long time, as long as there is no absolute tyrannical monopoly.”

I assumed the last part was implied and I’m sorry for the confusion!

You have to pay for kagi so they are not incentivized to serve ads. They are incentivized to give you a good set of search results so you keep paying.

If they put a letter for every sexuality that people identified with their would have hundreds of letters.

The right wingers are lagging behind then. Have you heard of QUILTBAG+? Queer unisex intersex lesbian trans bi asexual gay.

90% of queer people are right there with you.

GSM (Gender and sexual minorities).

Yes but they aren’t getting first class representation so they keep adding letters to the acronym. It’s too bad literally no one outside the activists cares. Most of my LGBT+ friends think it’s a bit silly. Not horrible, not ridiculous, just a bit silly.

It’s certainly a thing the LGBT community is mocked for and it’s something that the vast majority of people just politely stay away from. That’s really too bad.
