Most of them die after that.

That’s dark. It reminds me of a story.

A little old lady goes for a stroll in the park, when she sees a man sitting on a bench wearing a trench coat. As she walks closer, she realises he isn’t wearing anything else. She sits next to him and after a minute, he turns to her and asks, “Would you like to touch my penis?”

“Oh, no, I couldn’t,” she says. “I’m a widow and I haven’t touched one in years.”

“Go on,” he says. “It’s like riding a bike. You don’t forget.”

So she does. And every day for the next few months, she goes to the park and enjoys her encounter with the man.

One day, he isn’t at their regular meeting spot.

“Oh, well he was old,” she says to herself, thinking he’s died. But after a few minutes, she sees him on another bench with another little old woman.

“You bastard,” she says. “You’re cheating on me! What’s she got that I don’t?”

“Parkinson’s,” he replied.

I’m pretty sure that was the basis of the Foundation series. And I’m here for it

I thought we already had rail guns on ships?

Feminism out of control. Women don’t enjoy sex. That’s a myth. If female orgasms existed my wife would have had one by the third of the five pumps I give her.

Ahh, but where is she?

Eh… yes and no. I’ve got an engineering degree, I’ve learned how to design studies and do science properly, and I still struggle when a study is on topics I’m less familiar with. I can’t imagine most people going through these. They’re not accessible.

And if you’re just reading the abstract and conclusion, or worse a science article, you’ve got to hope they’ve interpreted things properly. Which articles are particularly bad at because they need to sound like news.

They rely on artifacts and art. So yeah, it’s quite possible the bow was invented earlier, probably a bunch of times in a bunch of places.

People are smart, but we’re smart in pretty regular and repeatable ways.

“they were roommates”

Yes it does. Most people can’t read a case study, and fewer can understand it.

To them, science requires trust in humans and faith that no one is lying.

Your complaining that the free stuff isn’t as good as the paid?

Oh god no. I’m wrong a whole bunch. Less than last year though. Much less than three years ago.

All of the time? Don’t be daft.

Realists are simply people who, when they get things wrong, adjust their understanding of the world.

Optimists and pessimists just slip that second step.

It’s more rare to find a pessimist than an optimist. To be a pessimist, you need to predict outcomes WORSE than reality.

Most people you think are pessimists are realists.

Oh, yes, because we’re supposed to seize the means of production with a strongly worded letter.

C’mon man.

I believe that disunity among the left is the primary cause of suffering in the world. This IS the worst. This IS the cause.

I can’t fix the fucknuts on the right. But I can hopefully fix us, and together we can fix the rest.

And if your claim is that he’s doing the same with Bernie, I call bs because Bernie isn’t on Lemmy to see the critique. Go post that shit on Twitter if you want to try and sway Bernie.

“Instant Pot Brands” (and others)

Noted. I have now stopped recommending these. It’s a shame, the device itself is ok. But I’m sure there are alternatives.

Cry at night.

That would imply that I care. I wouldn’t recommend caring.

I’m here for the income, not the outcome. You want to pay me then disregard my advice? That’s cool. Check still clears.

Your brain doesn’t have real time traffic information.
