Efficiency

Dunno man. That army ant seems pretty powerful too.

Economists are the least moral people from any field. My economist friend agrees. They see money as a number, not as a resource people need to survive.

An economist may agree with the statement: "A starving honebee requires more honey to recover than it will produce in its life. Therefore saving it is a waste."

What the statement lacks, is context. Why is the bee starving to begin with? They eat nectar from flowers. So there aren't enough around. Humans are good at mowing their lawns and placing tiles in their gardens instad of anything useful. Another part is, where is their honey? The bee's life saving they use to survive winter? Who took it? The humans. And who has the audacity to define the life of a single bee by it's ability to produce honey? The human.

Now swap worker bee with working class, human with the rich, and honey with money.

"Oh these people require medical aid? As if their labour is worth the investment in ther health!"

Remember, any person providing a service to society, is a valuable person. Be it store cleric or garbage man.

Agreed. A friend of mine is a veteran, and did something that he regrets every day of his life. Guilt's been eating the guy. He told some people, and they cut off contact with him. Which he understands and agrees with. He told me too, and yet I can't blame him for doing something objectively wrong.

Adding to this. HMI's change across time and what feels logical/intuitive/common sense to one demographic, might not to another.

I agree, but I also fear religious people. Religion has time and time again interfered with people's autonomy.

It still does to this day. Women in Oman, for example need a man (even if it is their son) to approve of her surgery. A woman needed surgery, but had no male relatives closeby to approve it for her. It was an emergency. Thankfully it was approved, but required a lawyer.

Christianity isn't any better where I live.

Religion is fine on a personal level, but dangerous for everyone on a larger scale.

That is very not cute

Yeah! Science!

What does that mean

Tbh. Being named a hero would be dope.

I'm kinda surprised Elon didn't name Vivian that.

Reminds me of this: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0361684319871913

In short. The higher the social status of the woman compared to the man, the more likely the man is to sexually objectify her. Wheras women aren't more likely to do this based on relative status.

Objectification is defined as reducing a person to solely looks and sexual function.

Similar stuff is seen in primates. Females are easier targets to assert dominance over. Since they are physically weaker. Male long tail maqacues losing their status, would seek out younger/weaker targets to establish dominance over. Something that was interesting too, is that female maqacues with more masculine facial features, were less often subjected to dominance seeking behaviour (from both males and females if I recall correctly) than females with more feminine faces.

It seems to boil down to "who can I dominate with little risk?" Female? Easy. Big male? Stupid idea. Young male? No problem. Male of equal size? Potentially.

The baby can't survive without its mom. But the mom can make new babies.

That would be amazing. Even if they don't join the EU as an EU country, but simply be an ally, that would still make the world a better place!

Damnit. The Russians are after our computers too!

Dunno man, I don't want to risk the lives of those in normal cars. Just one bad day on an overworked guy at night and you'll have the same issue.

Yup. I agree. Men's pants more often accomodate my wide ass better than women's clothing. I don't know how. It shouldn't be possible. Even the swimming trunks fit better... I found out ball hammocks are a thing. Not out of curiosity, but out of desperation! And sometimes, I find pants that fit my ass, but the legs are too short!

Another thing is that women's clothing is meant to be form shaping. So if you are less curvy, the clothes got you covered. If you are too curvy, the clothes will crawl and migrate down the hills.

It's hard to find practical clothing. Such as a swimming top that will stay the fuck on if you jump off a cliff. Or a bottim that has space for more than 1 asscheek. Let alone to avoid the camel toe.

Not to mention flimsy fabric with shitty patterns added. Found a comfy nice shoe? Well here is 2cm^2 of snakeskin pattern for no reason. How about a nice shirt? Got some stupid white woman quote on it though. Or an animal with massive eyes to make your boobs look bigger... ffs. Or the bad design? Nice hoodie? Well it's short enough to show the belly button. Pockets? Some are fake. This nice looking top has 3 straps and you need to fold it inwards to make it stay in shape! Oh found a nice, 100% thick wool jacket? Oh it's men sized. Arms are too long and a bit to tight around the bottom. Well let's see- oh the women's section doesn't even have the option. Only a thin fleece hoodie in bright pastell colours.

God I swear to you, I hate women's clothing so fucking much.

"Maybe I should just go swimming at a nude beach... that way I won't have to search or worry anymore."

They also slept together.

Nah, fuck disney. Won't forget their "say no gay" policy. Also, a lot of their "woke" coded content is awful. It feels written by inexperienced writers. It's not genuine and comes across as pandering.

Like damn bro. Timon and Pumba were gay, social outcasts and raised a child together. That shit felt real. Not the stereotype gay l, but just normal... well "normal" characters.

The new stuff doesn't seem to have that. To the point that it feels as though they wanted their work to flop on it.

Kinda has that vibe Sandy from Spongebob had. At first, she was just a normal whacky character. Then Nickelodeon wanted more girl representation and Sandy became pretty much flawless. She wasn't the butt of the joke anymore, while the other characters stayed that way. It made her seem less part of the gang. Unequal to the rest. She became unfun.

So many of the female characters seem flawless and yet unlikable. From star wars series, to the new disney movies. Where is our Katara from Avatar? Where is our Valerie from Danny Phantom? Where are the characters with character?

I get it though. I love driving cars, busses and trucks. It's a lot of fun. But the fun isn't worth the resources it takes to make, maintain and pollute.

Honestly. I wish my country wasn't sacked by the rich who "wanted to lower taxes" but only ended up decreasing the funding for essential services. Services the poor rely on more than the rich. Healthcare and public education mainly. If we didn't have vampires at the helm, we'd probably have more taxes going to public services. And heck, I would have loved our country to pay tax for "free" public transport. That would be so much more efficient, safe and affordable for everyone.

Because rn, my LPG chevrolet spark is more affordable than a train subscription. Gonna give my ol car to a family member though. She needs it more. Living in a rural area and needing to travel pretty far for her work. Public transport would be 1.5-2hrs travel while driving is about 45min.
