Slight obsession =/= neurodevelopmental disorder

I never would have realized it on my own, but it’s so obvious when someone points it out.

I've a bridge I could sell you, m8

Wow.

Props for taking me up on that. Seriously. More people need to have this level of responsibility.

You're cool

I know.

Sorry man, but you picked a subject I'm political about.

Although I'm kinda political about most things to be fair, so guess my bad.

In this metaphor, the homeless person is the outside cat, and cats are little murder machines.

Whereas inside cats get lazy enough that they can barely catch a fake mouse on a string.

I mean, clearly it doesn't. This one is faulty. It probably won't work like it's supposed to. Same could be said for some (botched and) circumcised dicks. However if you do have a functioning foreskin, then it's just there to protect literally the most sensitive part of your anatomy.

Because without it it'll keratinize and lose some, if not all, sensation.

Edit guys I'm talking about this fork, not your dicks. This is more a phimosis dick than a regular one or a circumcised one. I am not saying "circumcised dicks don't work". I'm saying some circumcision are botched and end up with loss of sexual function. I do wonder whether most causes some loss of sensitivity, but it's very clear that Jewish and American dicks are still completely functional, even if a bit "balder". So I guess I was wrong about the foreskin covering the most sensitive part of the male anatomy, or maybe it's because they've lost sensation, but it seems like the most sensitive part of the (circumcised) man's anatomy is the ego

"AI is not a toy. It is a weapon,” said CEO Alex Karp. “It will be used to kill people.”

If it aims as well as Gemini retrieves facts, I'm not really worried tbh.

"just complies"

I mean... I get what you mean but also, isn't that what they used as a defense in Nürnberg?

I think a person who've had proper food is gonna win against a homeless person.

No, what you're saying is "I believe a guy who's been eating twinkies on his couch with no stress whatsoever would, in a fight, beat a guy who's been fighting the elements and hunting for a living".

Circumcision is genital mutilation, just as a reminder.

It's involuntary elective surgery performed on babies which can't give consent.

And no, I don't need to hear about how "you've never noticed a difference" from people who've had a circumcision as a baby. The fact is a non-significant amount of those elective and cosmetic surgeries lead to complications. Some to horrific ones.

I mean obviously most advancements happen in academy.

I'm just saying it's not completely unrealistic for someone to actually realise something others have not.

I understand the depiction is of someone probably non-academic, but like... have you seen Slavoj Zizek?

That's an academic. Highly so.

My point is rather that yeah, let's mock anti-science dumb dumb, but also, let's not idolise academic institutions. They're much better for objective research and general advancement. But lots of their material are available for people who aren't actively in academia and can still utilise it.

I wish I had better examples, but yeah, I'm not defending the meme as being wrong, I'm just pointing out the stereotypes ans discussing nuances.

Fuck those "do your own research people", but love the people who actually do do proper research on their own, quote sourced, and actually contribute something, no matter how small.

There are lots of independent theoreticians who have done independent work, then brought it out to a scientific community and it's sparked a ton of interest.

And I do mean "independent theoretician" as in a respectful euphemism to "mad bastards", although I prefer the latter. You could also use "a touch too inspired".

Okay well this guy was an actual academic, but the fox breeder came to mind first. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Belyayev_(zoologist)

Then three was the woman who mapped the entire sea floor by fucking drawing it painstakingly herself from like sonar scan results. She's essentially who discovered good proof of tectonic plates. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Tharp

Tharp's discovery of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge caused a paradigm shift in earth science that led to the acceptance of the theories of plate tectonics and continental drift.

Okay well yeah she was an academic as well but those are just two massive names I can think of rn. And loads of us on Lemmy are actually academic, technically.

But anyway, basically the argument in the comic could've been used against those people, and definitely was against the plate tectonic lady.

Hell, the guy who figured out surgeons were killing patients but the morgue-full just because they weren't washing their hands tried desperately convincing people to wash their hands and doctors just kept mocking him like "haha, as if it was our faults the patients died, right, yeah, tiny little bits of corpses on our hands, yea, haha, good one, Semmelweiss".

Dude became rather aggravated that he'd figured it out and no-one listened. Ended up in an asulym and died of sepsis, the very thing he fought against so hard.

I feel that guy. Can share his frustration.

I'm ideologically against, but personally, I'm not bothered. Like I do not believe in the bullshit "nothing to hide nothing to fear" rhetoric, I'm very much against it.

But like personally, I'm not really bothered if they know when I have a wank, tbh.

I am worried with what they do with all the data they have, I just don't think anyone is interested in me personally and if they were, I'd kinda take it as a compliment tbh.

No wörries I still had a Huawei for several years and still use the Huawei health app.

So I'm pretty sure China could — if they had any interest in — know literally my very heartbeat.

though some debate it's use in the medical field

Captain Holt's Dentist Rant.

I think many would fight even in the face of certain death.

I think you're wildly underestimating the power of apathy and conformism.

I hope you're right, but I don't believe you are.

No but having one plate, one reusable box, one fork, one knife and one wine glass to wash is a lot less than all the things I use for cooking.

Knives, spoons, blender, pans, pots, containers, and most annoyingly, the cutting board. Because you want to take care of that nice wooden cuttingboard and make sure it's clean and dry.
