He did find that the artificial banana flavor tastes the way gros michel bananas smell when they're very ripe, though. So I don't think it's wrong to say the flavor is based on the gros michel rather than the cavendish, it's just that flavor is a really complex equation and artificial flavors tend to fail to capture the totality of the experience.

Teslas are especially unsafe, and often lock people inside when they fail. This is because Tesla is run by one of the dumbest men who ever lived.

There's no such thing as an accidental discharge. There are negligent discharges and there are mechanical disasters. If it's not one of those then you intended for the gun to fire.

There is no level of violence unacceptable for self defense against sexual assault. Keep your hands to yourself.

We'll have to agree to disagree then. If you don't want to catch fire, don't sexually assault people.

Somehow I've managed to live nearly 3 decades without sexually assaulting anyone. You can do it too! I believe in you!

Language without meaning is garbage. Like, literal garbage, useful for nothing. Language is a tool used to express ideas, if there are no ideas being expressed then it's just a combination of letters.

Which is exactly why LLMs are useless.

A torture device is useful for extracting information.

No it fucking isn't! This is a great analogy, actually, thank you for bringing it up. A person being tortured will tell you literally anything that they believe will stop you from torturing them. They will confess to crimes that never happened, tell you about all their accomplices who don't exist, and all their daily schedules that were made up on the spot. Torture is useless but morons think it is useful. Just like AI.

In significant swathes of the US the natives were more or less successfully exterminated so there's no clear cultural line from ancient natives to the people living there today.

There is nothing normal about shoving your entire arm up a cow's asshole in order to slightly increase the chance of your artificial insemination working so you can murder its baby and drink all the milk produced to nurture that baby.

You're sick.

If I burn your house down, is that evidence your house "didn't work" and should never have been built in the first place?

My local wasps don't bother me and I don't bother them. Long as you aren't close to the nest, most wasps are chill.

There's a reason actual leftists refer to these losers as "social fascists"

Liberals vastly prefer fascism to actual justice.

I don't know anything about Mary in the Bible but yes Aisha was definitely 6 when she was married according to the Koran, Muslims don't deny it. They just do a bunch of mental gymnastics to explain how that's somehow okay. Usually involving the fact that he waited until she was 9 to consummate the marriage, how noble and considerate.

They did age up all the ASOIAF characters for the show, so the show insisting that we all ogle Daenerys didn't really have much to do with pedophilia. It was just regular old gross ass Hollywood misogyny.

Reading this stuff as a Linux user is a real trip. Y'all know you don't have to put up with this, right?

Back in the early 2010s there was this cloud gaming service called OnLive which I thought was actually pretty neat. I played a couple action games and there wasnt really any noticeable latency. Idk what kind of wizardry they use but for most games they can probably make it work.

Of course rhythm games and fighting games specifically will probably never be playable through streaming, but those are basically unplayable at anything but the highest possible performance.

If I need help I'm sure as hell not calling the cops. The cops are only useful if the situation would be improved by a crazed gunman suddenly showing up and shooting anything that moves.

There are situations, granted, where that's an improvement. But not many.

What exactly do you mean? Like a distro that just works well on a phone? Yeah proper Linux phones aren't quite there yet.

But any of the commonly recommended distros work out of the box on PC at this point, there's less fiddling than with windows at this point in my experience

Those users are being harmed by it, not benefited. That isn't useful, it's a social disease.

Sam Altman is an enemy of humanity and it would self defense to kill him.

I'm not gonna do it because that's a hassle, but if someone did I wouldn't condemn them.
