Yeah that seems healthy

I bet it’s fun for two people with forked tongues to kiss. There’s a lot more you can do.

You fell for the marketing

TSA: I’ll show you a cavity protection

It’s not gonna get any better. The Hong Kong from a few decades ago is never coming back.

Because I’m not sure which part of this is intended to be sarcasm, I just wanted to clarify that the term “caravan” has been used before the invention of the internal combustion engine.

You mean a caravan?

I was thinking Raven

I prefer the way chrome handles x509 certificates more than Firefox does. It’s still not perfect though.

Yeah they had to put the word there or everyone would think it’s poop

I’m guessing that samsung probably has a link on their website for people looking to repair their phones and on order to get your shop listed there you have to agree to use samsung certified parts

the traits that we today associate with health will become disadvantageous in the future.

Yeah I can think of a few, like aging. 10000 years from now kids will be saying, “wow, those poor unevolved savages lived such short lives and only really got to enjoy the first little bit of it before they started falling apart. They even had genetic engineering at the time! Imagine how many people would be alive today if they hadn’t been so scared to edit their genes to prevent aging.” Then their teacher would come over and explain that it wasn’t so easy at the time. There were still so many other problems they had to solve and related genes that need to be modified to avoid undesirable consequences, and let’s get back on topic: how many planets fall under the rule of the galactic empire including our own planet Urth?

Being vague about the requirement leaves more options for game companies to find various solutions to comply. It’s quite accommodating.

Or they’re using the paid tier

I’m a relatively short guy at 5’6". My take on this is firstly that I dislike being called “king” because it sounds patronizing, especially by someone who knows nothing about me (that just feels insincere). Secondly, I’m comfortable, even happy, with my height. There have been many times I’ve been glad that I wasn’t taller. It’s kinda funny watching taller folks hitting their heads on things and complaining about cars being too small.

With my shortness being accepted by myself, someone else randomly pointing it out by explicitly calling me a “short king” in an effort to promote body positivity makes me think that in order for them to be recognizing shortness as a potentially negative trait means they likely thought of it as a negative in the past and are now patting themselves on the backs for being “enlightened” and subtly shaming others who still haven’t “evolved” to their level. It feels like less of a compliment and more of a circle jerk.

Also, I don’t feel like shortness needs any championing. Going back to the topic of obesity in the discorse of body positivity, I think it’s a great idea to treat people as people regardless of weight. But I think the implied premise stated by OP is flawed in this regard. I do think being happy with being overweight is different than being happy about being short. There are no apparent benefits to being overweight, since it generally increases risk factors in all kinds of medical issues. With this in mind, body positivity regarding weight should focus on encouraging others to lose weight without shaming them. The same is not true of being short. Besides the impossibility of people making themselves taller even if they wanted to, there’s no negative to a person’s well-being or quality of life because of it.

I can’t remember any time in my life that I’ve ever been called short as an insult either. This post just seems to be attempting to fix a non-issue. In summary, I would rather no one speak the words “short king” at all. Just go with “you’re such a badass” if you wanna give a compliment.

The writing I see on the wall is that these AI require such a large data set to create that only mega corps are going to have them. They allow some free access now, but in a few years they’re gonna start enshittifying the free tier and jack up prices

Yes those are both true. What’s your point?

I think two assumptions to this whole 10k people/day metric cause it to be inaccurate pseudoscience:

1. It assumes people learn things at random times, causing the distribution to average over 30 years.

2. It assumes everyone learns a thing by age 30. If you talk to anyone over 80 years old I guarantee they’ll tell you they don’t know everything.

It’s a sweet sentiment, but it bugs me how people keep quoting this like there’s any truth behind it.

But if the rate of knife attacks are currently the same, then logically it would make sense that knife attack rate would be much greater in the US than UK if guns were to be banned because some percentage of the current gun crime rate would convert to knife crimes. I guess the US is just a more violent place in general.
