One of the great struggles of humanity is ‘cognitive load.’ Thinking, even if you have a very efficient brain, takes effort, and more advanced thought requires more effort. In hierarchies, part of the power dynamic consists of the displacement of cognitive load. The higher powered individuals don’t think about what the lower powered individuals think, and, with enough power, not even the collective. The lower powered individuals, though, must consider the desires of those with higher power in order to make their way through the world. They have to expend effort, to carry the cognitive load.

Those adult children you are talking about are those who have not had to carry the load. People generally don’t expend effort they are not forced to, so why would they go to the effort of considering the effects of their actions on others when their life has taught them that’s the job of those lower than them? Or that they can do what they want without expending the effort and not only not be punished, but get ahead in life because their society runs on psychopathy?

And revanced on android.

The difference is the difference between civil asset forfeiture and theft, or capital punishment and murder, or imprisonment and false imprisonment. While analogous in almost every way, the distinction is in whether it is being done legally or illegally. Slavery is legally accepted and enforced. Trafficking is illegal.

Thank you for revealing yourself. I block children.

I have heard of very few sources of energy that do not rely on turbines. Solar is the big one but one of the ones that might be most interesting in future is ‘plug flow.’ Much like with solar and other non-chemical systems, the challenge seems to be scale, because there is just an insane amount of energy density in hydrocarbons, so much that we can run our society on them while wasting huge amounts of it. But if we could find ways to scale these kinds of effects, it would pull energy from natural cycles, like a dam, but with fewer moving parts. It’s still using solar energy with conversions but maybe it’d use less REM.

Can we petition to make the day of his death (March 9) a holiday where we all celebrate by burning him in effigy? It seems fitting.

I don’t. Your question is leading. Next question.

This triggered a memory. I was headed to work. I pull up to a red light. It was legal to turn on a red there but I choose not to. Guy wangs on the brakes behind me and is pissed that I’m not turning on the red. I take the turn calmly and safely. He slams on the accelerator and takes the turn wide to go around me. He is absurdly pissed about having to wait all of fifteen seconds. I don’t even have time to roll my eyes. Siren and lights go up behind me and he’s being pulled over because the vehicle behind him at the light was a cop. If waiting fifteen seconds threw him into such a tizzy I can only imagine he burst a blood vessel at losing however much time the cop took.

LLM chatbots are, not as conspiracy but de facto, collecting and using as training data, interactions, including nude photos, from underage users. And the worse part is how it victimises kids who then have no victimiser to confront for psychological growth, just their formative experiences of romantic relationships being the distorted reflection of socialization built to promote engagement over growth or reciprocity.

I’ll just leave this here

I have ads blocked. I have no idea what lies they are trying to tell me. My suggestions in pretty much the only place I use that has them, unfortunately, are mostly things I have already seen or reposts of those things.

Thanks for pointing this out. Blocking it now.

Do Asian women age like that, or is it maybe that there was a huge increase in childhood nutrition, medical care, personal care, and personal wealth hitting Asia starting several decades ago and the very old are those who survived the times before and the younger Asians have benefitted in ways that manifest in their personal appearance? (And also old ladies all over the world tend to shrink a bit)

Tears of joy? Nothing, ever. But this moth is really cute.

The game was likely written as commentary on, or at least influenced by, the experiences of its creators. But the loss of trust and cohesion is nothing new. People have been talking about it for decades, with varying ideas of the cause and the cure.

‘Drama’ seekers and what I might call drama-pigs. There are a lot of people who think relationships are ‘supposed’ to have drama. They see versions of relationships, romantic or friendships, in dramas and romances written to be interesting from the outside and absorb it as normal. The result is deleterious. The other side of this is the drama-pigs, people who feed off of the real-life dramatics of people’s lives as entertainment. They read AITA posts or watch drama vlogs as though the people involved were characters in a story rather than real people who are dealing with real problems.

People were lying to get laid long before photography was ever invented.

The only thing that will save you is how expensive it is. If you have enough money to burn making attempts you can keep trying until you get ones that can fool you.

Only if you really want to be truly free and not live cucked by all those science worshippers.

Though, as a nation born from distrust of authority, it’s hard to imagine at any point in history Americans would have trusted congress to touch it.
