I’d unconditionally surrender if I had to change nothing and receive 300 billion.

How do you get an entire population of adults to voluntarily scan their faces and submit them to Palantir?

I just read it as a phonetic noise, not unlike “smeh”.

You know that’s just a myth, right?

So, at what age do you think someone becomes a man?

Edit: I agree this is an awful thing to happen to a young life… But…

It’s wild that we infantalise people the actual law considers an adult. He was old enough to vote, get married, join the armed forces and serve on a jury.

Also, do you think it’s disrespectful to not allow him the title of, “man”?

I mean it’s pro-privacy, but that’s hardly anti-AI.

Genuine question: What are you using?

Remember, reading isn’t about numbers.

Don’t turn into that douche that always quotes how many books they’ve read that year like speed reading and skimming are admirable and all books are the same length.

Maybe the sort that piles them all up and posts to social media thinking it is impressive or that people will like them for it.

You read for you. Take your time and enjoy.

It isn’t like LD100 (although it may be)

LD50 is the minimal dose lethal to 50% of a subject population. Twice that dose might be anything between 50% and 100%.

Shortly after the photo was taken, David’s tongue flew out, wrapped around the little mouse and dragged it into his reddened maw.

God, I love him.

Ah, my bad, no harm done and thank you for explaining that, it really is appreciated.

I find so much online discourse has become performative contrarianism that I’m probably a little over sensitive to it.

Yeah, it’s not a clever or new observation to point out that the men…

Eh, thanks. I mean, that’s a bit of a harsh way to start a reply to a comment you then go on to agree with.

I think the telling thing is that these angry gamer dudes are awfully lonely and would kill to have a girlfriend who shared at least some of their interests.

This kind of self-face punching comes from such a low self esteem that they have to reject the idea for fear of rejection in reality.

And then they go looking for every other reason to explain their loneliness epidemic.

Good question.

I think in the first instance it was the overly verbose answer to a social media post. That suggests you either have a bit of time on your hands or you have very few people to talk to.

Secondly, the hints of grandeur in your comment. Calling out Lemmy users as autists. Weird to do that on this platform, of which you are also on.

But mostly, it’s that you’ve misread the social contract here, and that’s wild as you go on to tell people how to read the situation.

And so my question was genuine. Are you ok, or is there something going on that you need to talk about?

You ok, mate?
