  • I feel like this would be much easier to attribute to “boys will be boys” than an excuse for women. The odds of being negatively judged for being a slut are significantly higher for women than they are for a man.

    I’m not saying men aren’t negatively judged for these things, but if you took 100 people and showed them equally compromising pictures, my money is on more people negatively judging the woman. It’s a deep rooted societal bias.

    I think the reason men are more likely to send unsolicited nudes is because there’s not going to be near as much consequence as compared to a woman. Same reason I think blackmail with nudes is likely more effective on women.

  • Not the commenter you replied to, but I would say it’s more effective on women due societal biases. Of course men can be extorted with nudes too, but the same tactic will be more effective if used on a female population. There’s still an expectation for women to be modest, or at least more so than men. How often do you see women topless vs men?

  • we always end up elevating the ones that show great technical skills into management

    I wish that was more often the case. I’ve never seen this once in my life.

    As a counterpoint, I’d point to Boeing. They used to have engineers as management in their glory days, then once the business leaders of McDonnell Douglas took over, everything began to go downhill.

    Not that I think what you’re saying is fundamentally wrong - they are indeed different skill sets - I’ve just not seen someone who’s great at their technical job get promoted to leadership. It’s usually social skills that get people promoted, in my experience. The people with great technical skills end up staying as worker bees, as they don’t want to deal with people, and get end up exploited by the ones with social skills.

  • I think it’s kinda dumb, much like putting whole little tomatoes on a pizza It’s hard to get topping consistency from bite to bite and they’re likely to roll off.

    Taste wise, everyone’s different, I’m not going to judge in that aspect.

  • Jailbreak.

    Important to note: this exploit is not persistent, meaning you’ll have to redo it anytime the console is shut down or crashes. The 360 doesn’t suspend, so unless you leave it on you’ll be doing the exploit a lot.

    In addition it’s only successful 30% of the time, so you have to try the exploit multiple times each time the console boots.

    Great progress though - hopefully it leads to something more permanent.

  • I played Shadow Warrior back in the late 90s on DOS. Granted, it was only the demo because I had no money and no internet to pirate things.

    It was a pretty decent Duke clone from what I remember. Gory kills, interesting weapons, corny toilet humor, some sexuality, and interesting little tidbits that made the levels feel more alive than your standard shooter at the time. You could watch the rabbits bang and multiply, stuff like that. Pretty entertaining for me at the time. I’ve had it and the reboot in my Steam library for years now, maybe this is a sign to finally check them off the “to play” list.

  • A 1080p Bluray disk will look far far better than Netflix in 4k every time because its not compressed.

    You’re not wrong about the quality difference but video on a Blu-ray is compressed. There is no way to get raw video unless you’re shooting it yourself.

    any form of compression will cause loss in fidelity in some way

    Lossless video compression also exists although I don’t think any consumer products have it.

  • I write all my dates in military format i.e. dd MMM yyyy, so 16 MAR 2025 for today. Zero ambiguity. I also use 24H time from being in the military and living in Italy for a couple years.

  • I don't follow the logic. Human teeth would be better if more children died? That "quality check" only applies if an organism dies before mating, which happens usually around teenage years for humans.

    Maybe those hunter gatherers had better teeth because of what they ate. There seems to be too many other potential factors to simply pawn it off on Darwinism.

    In a study published in the latest Nature Genetics, Cooper and his research team looked at calcified plaque on ancient teeth from 34 prehistoric human skeletons. What they found was that as our diets changed over time — shifting from meat, vegetables and nuts to carbohydrates and sugar — so too did the composition of bacteria in our mouths.

    However, the researchers found that as prehistoric humans transitioned from hunting and gathering to farming, certain types of disease-causing bacteria that were particularly efficient at using carbohydrates started to win out over other types of "friendly" bacteria in human mouths. The addition of processed flour and sugar during the Industrial Revolution only made matters worse.
