He was tip of the spear on age verification too. That was also just reading publicly available passed/proposed legislation, but nobody else in tech news seems to be reading anything besides press releases so 🤷♀️ I'm glad somebody's out there doing it.

@sun @Nudhul @ElDeadKennedy

Groups would be a nice alternative to spinning up whole new instances. That google+ thing a while back was actually pretty comfy.

@icedquinn @sun @Ree

Except that now you can ask AI to train you 🤷♂️

@lain It is not enough to not be greedy, you must be activity anti-greedy.

luddites at least had a labor and capital point

The Luddite's point was completely wrong tho. Rather than mechanical looms cutting 90% of textile jobs, their introduction expanded textile jobs several-fold over the next 2 decades. Clothing prices were lowered enough to introduce fashion to the middle and lower classes for the first time, resulting in a massive and permanent rise in the demand level.

Correlary: Once AI can manufacture ram for us, the prices will be rock-bottom.

People really out here thinking this is how market prices work.

@josh the best food group.

I can't quite recall; what was reich opinion on censoring covid 'misinformation'??

When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.

"hoe math" is just not a subject that interests me

If your hoe has a 6 inch blade, and your feild is 12 hectors, how many fortnights before planting must you begin to till?

Without hoe math you'll never make it to harvest.

@progo What? This just sounds like an ad. Like, do you think all those Depend↑TM models really piss themselves in public before going to the photoshoot?

• shoehorns neurodivergence into conversion
• offended by mention of broadly accurate stereotype
• pretends not to understand in order to make discourse impossible
• male feminist

Dude, you used to be cool, when did you turn into such a shitlib? I thought we could just be a couple of bros having a comfy chat about average sex differences, but you went and got your panties in a bunch. I hope you sleep whatever this is off and wake up based again in the morning. Good night.

This is such a well understood concept its widely memed:

"Take a photo of thing."

Boy takes a photo of thing

Girl takes a photo of how she feels about thing

Same phenomenon. Quit being a little baby; theory of mind isn't difficult.

When the actual woman answered you, you called her a liar 🤷♀️ can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themself into, I guess.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm not being obtuse or playing gotcha word games; I'm saying I think its worth considering that women's attraction function actually works fundamentally differently from mens'. 🤷♀️

I think we are talking about different things. Men are judging the physique in isolation, women are judging what the physique is likely to indicate in his personality. The before photo looks gregarious and easy-going, the after photo looks high-strung and high maintenance. Think about the typical lady's romance novel, there's the meet-cute, they go on a couple of dates, and only after his personality and interest in her has been established do the go back to one of their places and she discovers he has a six-pack under his suit. Physique is hot only after the relationship is established, before that it seems like it's offputting, or maybe intimidating to a lot of ladies.

No cut, just bulk? That's my strategy 👍

Ah, there's your problem.

Lacking any other context than fedi meta, all I can say is that the face here looks late teens to early 20s; not uncommon for character design. But the pic mushroom soup was posting did actually look like a child 🤷♀️

What? What about the sonics?

A grand jury indictment proves...

That's not how any of that works 🙄
