  • You should emphasize the 4-legged more than animal. Also they’re 270-570lb and ~58.8% of their body weight is skeletal muscle, highest percentage of any mammal.

    People like to ignore that humans are animals too often. And honestly not great at anything if we don’t have tools. Even persistence hunting requires at least water and a spear.


  • Do you play 24h a day? An 80h game will take me months. If it is enjoyable for those 80h that is well worth for me. I don’t want to spend hours struggling and getting griefed or playing smurfs just to get to a point where I know the “meta” or whatever. I’m not in the position to grind and compete in those games anymore. I’m done with them except for special occasions. Overwatch, DRG, helldivers etc not fun for me. Yeah, I’ll still play l4d2 or rocket league occasionally. I put my time in tf2 and guild wars, but I’m still in act I of Baldurs Gate III and it’s fun and interesting. Hades is great (though runs are a little long). I’ll get horizon zero dawn and hades 2 at some point. I’m not getting overwatch 2 or whatever the modern multi-player is.







  • A lot of it is laziness but on the other hand my boss will often cc me on irrelevant emails, rather infamously sometimes forward an entire 20 responses email chain and tell you to read it, and send 8 paragraphs of questions with only one related to me. Frankly, it is overwhelming and a waste of time. I’ve started not responding and my productivity and mental health have improved.

    Emails and texts need to be succinct. The higher up the chain you go the more true this is. The higher up the chain the more emails you get think 200+. If someone writes a paragraph you’re skimming for relevance generally.

    Tldr; professional communication does not need length. Justify your questions separately from actual bulleted or numbered questions.

    Thus helping a facist wins. Great move.

    So long as we are an FPTP system with the current 2 options it’s just shooting the non-fascist option in the foot for no reason. Gotta keep non-fascist around so you can actually have a chance at fixing things without getting gulaged.





  • As other have said Tinder was the biggest shift and the prime reason as stated is there’s a lot of fear that gets removed when you know you’re both there to date and you both at least superficially like each other.

    This was before it was enshittified. Superlikes weren’t a thing, you had unlimited swipes and the algorithm tried to get you a match. Post-enshittification the algorithm tries to keep you hooked and paying. So there’s been a slight shift back to in-person but life is busy and expensive.
