HOG CRANKING IS INCLUSIVE OF ALL GENDERS, GET THAT GATEKEEPING NONSENSE OUT OF HERE AROOOO

Boost, since I was used to it for Reddit and I like the customization options.

This is a great idea! Doing it on Google Sheets is fine as a resource for this community, but it wouldn't really have discoverability outside of it if that's where you want to go with it.

(Also it's spelled Wisconsin btw)

While the halberd's blade offers a lot of options for hooking your opponent, it equally gives them an opportunity to hook your polearm and manipulate it themselves. The simpler spearhead is also lighter than that of a halberd, allowing for more sustain when fighting for long periods.

I would definitely prefer a halberd (or billhook) over a spear given the choice, but it's not as much of a direct upgrade as you might think.

A quick Google search gives Texas, Florida, and Virginia.

They could've done a little green sliver like they did for 1980.

The percentages for 2016 only add up to 97, and the 40% bar is longer than the 41% of 2012.

It's a urinal, I would hope it doesn't have access to any poop to analyze.

Unless they've been proven to be arguing in bad faith or dishonestly. Then it's fair game to criticize them.

This. I got the "physically unable to multitask" ADHD instead of the "needs multiple sources of stimulation" ADHD.

I love the implicit idea that celebrities are region-locked like video games lol

Must've been casual Friday at the tower

The word theory is used differently in science to how it is in common speech. In science, a "theory" represents humanity's best possible explanation for something given everything we know. For example, the theory of gravity gives a reason for why things are attracted to each other, namely the bending of spacetime.

Theories don't become laws, either. Laws in science describe what happens, and theories describe how. To go back to gravity, the law of gravity is an equation that can tell you exactly how much two objects will be attracted to each other, but it can't explain how that happens. That's what the theory is for.

Hope this helps!

I don't think a kid calling their parent their "dom" would go over well 💀💀💀

"Parent" works in formal settings, but it would be weird to have your kid call you that. Maybe just your name?

As if us Bacchus-worshipping, circular-family-tree-pantheon Romans have any right to criticize! Let them call Iupiter what they will and carry on with their strange practices. The mighty religion of Rome will surely outlast this puny upstart cult!

I'll give it a shot anyways, to play devil's advocate.

I only buy a vanishingly small percentage of the amount of meat produced by factory farms every year. So I feel the same percentage responsible for perpetuating that system, which isn't nearly enough to keep me up at night.

🙋 I've hunted deer, gutted and skinned them myself too. The tenderloins are great sauteed, and the rest of the meat is good ground (just don't cook it as long as hamburger, it's more lean).

Having been to Paris myself not too long ago, their rudeness is far overhyped. They were actually quite pleasant to us for the most part, only a handful of interactions that I would consider rude, mostly from street scammers. Maybe I just got lucky or missed some social cues, but I'm not sure where this idea of the openly contemptuous average Parisian comes from.

Looks more like a poorly-executed Photoshop job than an AI, but a fake's a fake and I'm sure it fooled FB boomers all the same 😔

I am cursed with this relevant and more accurate image, so now you are as well 😔

Can confirm lol

Assuming you're not viewing Lemmy on a CRT, the lines are indeed reasonably straight lol

You can cover them up and it still works, they just add visual appeal. (Same reason there's two cubes.)

Not an artist, but this paper goes over the differences between the average male and female face. https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.1089/fpsam.2021.0301

It's called an extended-stay hotel, they exist but unfortunately they're not that common.

Reuters, AP, Fox, and PBS all did pieces on it tbf

For now. If the AI distributes itself into a botnet or something (or construction robots advance enough to where it could build its own secret data center) it could be a lot trickier to shut it down.

Geg 👍

Boost, since I used it for Reddit before the incident. Very faithful to the original, with a decent amount of customization and features.

Consent certainly can be a factor in utilitarian analyses, but it depends on the philosopher how strongly it is weighted. I'm not a strict utilitarian myself; my original point was to show that the premise of the meme (and in general, public understanding of utilitarianism) focuses too much on an extreme, comically oversimplified view of utility analysis.

The violation of consent itself is another form of harm, as we see in cases of r***. The scenario you proposed would still be causing more harm than the voluntary method.

In most cases, the suffering caused by the harvesting can balance out or outweigh the good done to the transplantee because the unsanitary conditions can cause horrific infections in the victim, not to mention the potential loss of function due to lacking the organ. Also, that stolen organ will likely go on the black market and be sold to a rich person, increasing overall suffering by extending their life and thus their exploitation of the working class. Even from a utilitarian standpoint, voluntary organ donation is clearly preferable, and organ harvesting is just as bad as it is in other philosophical frameworks. Absurdly simplistic analyses like this are nothing but a strawman.

The bishops return from vacation with a deity of their own to fight Cthulu.

Yes, it's still fun

Taiwan, Serbia, Singapore, Iceland, Barbados, Ethiopia, Georgia, Moldova, Slovakia, Denmark, Greece, Togo, Lithuania, Estonia, Tanzania, Kosovo, Samoa, Honduras, Hungary, France, India, Italy, Peru, Slovenia, Bosnia, Trinidad and Tobago, Sudan, Switzerland, and San Marino. And that's just current heads of state. Also they "rule" (in terms of being cool) everywhere. Hope that helps :)
