I love this question! I’ve seen it asked a few different ways. “What evolutionary benefit did the recoil reaction to the ‘uncanny valley’ provide?”. Thinking about the answer is kinda scary.

I’d think one benefit of being able to quickly discern between the living and the dead would be increased survival chances during death events. If you can see that someone is dead, less likely to face a dangerous predator, natural disaster, or contagion, or at least stop investing precious time in those situations if they found themselves in them.

I don’t call people who disagree with me fascists. Disagreement is healthy and important. The world would be boring as fuck if we all agreed on everything.

I call people who lick the boots on their own necks fascists. I call people who celebrate fascist ideals fascists. I call people who vote for fascist policies and candidates fascists.

It’s easy to not be called a fascist by not being one.

Says the guy who used to fuck an actual preachy, man-hating zombie, Ann Coulter.

I hope to vote for her for president someday, assuming she sticks to her values and continues to speak truth to power.

I really want a NSFL tag. I very much do not want to see gore. There are other buckets of things that I’d like to be tagged for ease of filtering. Yiff and Furry art. I fully support those that do want to enjoy that content, I’d just like to be able to filter easier.

Or they have a book coming out and they are tryin to boost sales numbers.

I’m so glad I was able to find a place with municipal internet. It was one of our criteria , but one we were prepared to give up on as we were getting more desperate in our search for a house.

Is there something like this but where I can feel like buzz in my head. It’s like all of my senses are vibrating. I can feel this vibration intensify when I move my eyes or turn my head. It’s usually coupled with deep task paralysis and disassociation from the world around me.

I wish I could find the right combination of words to describe this feeling. Back in the day we used to use these metal stakes pushed into the ground. Plug the stakes into a wall outlet and it drives the worms up out of the dirt, easy way to collect bait for fishing. Anyway, sometimes you had to twist the the stake in the dirt to adjust it a bit and when it was plugged in, those stakes have this weird electric buzz feeling. Closest thing I can get to describe the feeling.

I lived just outside of Tucson, AZ during Covid. When we bought our house, we were assured that xfinity was extending service to our house and beyond shortly. We tried getting the service and they sent out a truck to do a site survey. Xfinity said “lol no”. Our options were CenturyLink dsl with top speed of 3mpbs down and 768k up or a narrow band wireless repeater service from town. None of those were able to even support a 480p stream of tv, let alone the needs of having to switch to 100% remote. We wound up having to use a shitty 4g LTE router that used some sort data plan through AT&T. 150gb data cap and beyond it throttled down to 3g speeds. At the time starlink was accepting people into a beta but not as far south as we lived in the desert.

Luckily we were able to sell that place and relocate to a much better place. We now have municipal broadband with no caps and a static ip. They are building out fiber services to the underserved rural places around town first and then building here and I’m excited to someday have fiber.

We should stop calling them Karens and start calling them Marjories

We’ll add it to the list for Q2 next year. We still have a couple percentage points to meet our EBITDA goals this year.

I was brought up pretty non-religious. I remember in my very young years going to a non-denominational church. There was Sunday school and stuff. We moved across the country when I was 10 years old and family never went to church again. Mom would get a bit deep in it at Christmas with some bible reading. Got to my teenage years, searching for an identity. Tried church and totally was not for me. Too much telling me what and how I’m supposed to think. I’ve been an anti-theist ever since. 35+ years now.

Nice try totally not in the FBI Garry!!!

If there was an easy answer, it would already be done.

The only thing I can say is treat everyone with as much empathy and kindness as you can. There is plenty of anger and shouting to go around and you don’t win people to your side by shaming or insulting.

Those people are still just people and we have much more in common than we have differences. We all want to provide for the people we care about and want to feel safe and stable. They are just fed a non-stop diet of lies and propaganda pushing them to be how they are.

The world has enough vitriol. It could use a lot more kindness.

Kompromat

I think the answer has something to do with Programming Socks

Hell yeah there is. The only billionaire news I care about is some future article that talk about how they lost all their wealth because they finally had to pay their taxes or some shit.

Oh. It’s the Joe from discord.

Uhhhhh. I don’t know what you are talking about with Usenet. There is no shortage of trek there lol.

My partner does all the stuff mentioned by other posters; bottom watering, mosquito bits solution, a carnivorous plant with sticky leaves.

Still have gnats!

One thing I have seen her use are sticky gnat traps
