Depends on the situation, factory farming definitely, but for most natural raised situations I'd argue the animal's well being is like 99% of the work being done.

Simple answer, our sim is an entire universe, so likely it's being run on a jupiter brain or matrioshka brain.

It could even be possible to run it on a Black Hole computer.

Basically all these options would allow well beyond the computing power needed to not just simulate a universe, but to handle individual people in that universe also running simulations.

In fact it may even be optimized for that to allow scientists to run simulations within the simulated universe for the purpose of experiments that need simulation but don't require an entire ulta-massive black hole's worth of computing power to get the results needed.

It really is a symbiotic relationship we've developed with the things we've domesticated (or that domesticated us)

Especially animals reserved for working instead of eating, because in those situations oftentimes the food being made with the work is shared between the symbiotes.

I think it's less views specifically and more about how well it does vs how much it cost to make it.

Wildly successful shows could still be cancelled because they went all in on the budget.

All of those examples are linguistic drift though.

Naming a white girl moana isn't the same as some guy named Peter and his russian buddy Pyotr realizing that their names derive from the same origin in Greek (or Aramaic depending on how much you wanna argue Kefa should count as the origin since Petros was a direct translation of it as a name)

No, just that it'll pretty offensive for the white folks that have made polynesian life hell since just after they found the Pacific to suddenly begin jacking their names and cultural aesthetics because of a fun movie.

This is the same shit as the dreadlocks debate, people are still getting discriminated against for this stuff, it ain't kosher to wear it like a costume while the people it originates from can't wear it without catching shit when it was theirs from the start.

Not at all surprising, just like Netenyahu, the rally around the flag effect only helps you for so long if the public already hated your guts for being a terrible leader.

This is reminding me of that animated bit on YouTube where Krillen wishes Frieza's ship was full of spiders with giant dicks that gave you AIDS if they bit you

I mean depending on their ethnic background naming the kid Moana would have been an issue for reasons besides being teased for being named after a disney princess.

I mean depends on the dog really, some good ones can have pork mixed in too.

In Space With Markiplier Flashbacks Intensify

Could also have been cannibals, a lot of folklores talk about people who aren't really people that kill and eat people. Some versions of the tale of the wendigo feature whoever encounters them in their human forms noting that they knew they must be wendigo because they looked like normal people but something just felt wrong about how they behaved.

Uncanny valley could be at play in the ick you feel when you can tell for no apparent reason that someone's a psychopath or dangerous in some other way, the unconscious response to the things your brain noticed that you didn't.

It's funny because his sister looks like someone gender bent him and gave him a proper skin care routine

I don't know what history books y'all read but the one I got wasn't shy about the shit we've got on our heads, even if some previously lesser known atrocities weren't part of the material

Maybe talk to them about how the PDA keeps reminding you of how you found out about the whole thing and ask them to dial it back.

As distanced as you might feel from them right now, that's still your friend and your sister, assuming they aren't awful people they're probably only doing it because they're in the honeymoon phase and being reminded that not everyone's comfortable with public intimacy will put just the right amount of ice water over their heads and snap them out of the love goggles.

Probably also talk to your friend about how you feel like he's never around to see you anymore. Again, love goggles, this kid is probably neglecting a lot of other relationships and needs a wake-up call on that, do not start a fight about it though, be calm and explanatory and express concern for him getting lost in the sauce.

Lastly, adopt a policy of knocking on doors before entering even if they aren't locked. It is gonna save your life in college.

I'm lucky enough to have some security, so my plan is lay low and where I can play safehouse for the folks that need it, I'm not a fighter, but I have what I need and a little more, and I can use that to help whoever needs it.

I've got ideas for what the post crisis should look like, so probably try to find ways to network with the folks who are likely to be making that transition once this inevitably burns itself out.

Meantime, vote. Vote like your life depends on it because the odds are that you know someone who's life does.

Time is our shield, and even if it's only another four years, it's four more years the windbag has to survive into his 80s to take another crack at it, by which time the crop of Dem governors are going to be making enough noise to be suitable replacements for Biden, and if he drops dead in that time, it is very likely the movement will be demoralized the same way JFK and RFK dying took the wind out of the Democrat's sails.

The Redcaps are a cult, when the prophet of a cult dies without an already established right hand who can take over and reconsolidate the movement, the whole thing collapses under its own weight and the shock and grief of its members.

They aren't gonna wake up to how wrong they've been, but they are gonna spiral hard and be unable to keep up the energy.

Not necessarily, most of the known prions we associate with cannibalism are neurological, but that doesn't mean there aren't any that primarily affect other parts of the body that require proteins that aren't infectiously badly folded.

Pretty sure it would be considered cannibalism and made illegal

All that processing power and still not able to run triple A at max settings

A. Literally all of those High Speed Rail fantasy maps are just superimposed on existing routes.

B. You do realize that makes taking the kid on the plane even worse right, there are passenger ships that travel between the continents.
