  • I’ve seen a lot to suggest that people are less sexual, but I haven’t seen that people are less sexually liberated. I’m not trying to pick, because it’s very possible, but ime*, the younger you are, the more sexually liberated you are.

    What symptoms of reduced sexual liberation have you picked up on?

    *My experience with Gen Z is mostly through teaching college students, and I know that’s not necessarily representative of the population as a whole.

  • I straight up almost called it a series of tubes, lol.

    Yeah, that’s probably why I do think of it as a shared network, I just don’t play online games, so that’s not what I associate with the internet.

  • As a non-techie: websites are the internet.

    Like, I conceptualize the internet as basically just a giant shared network, but the point of it is the websites (for me).

    I apologize to anyone I may have just gravely offended.

  • I think of it the way the ACLU thinks about defending racists: it’s totally irrelevant whether or not the joke is fucked up.

    The US has worked itself into a horrible situation whereby the protection of the second amendment comes at the cost of all other rights for citizens. Trying to do this without coming out and saying so results in an enmeshment of industry and government that would make Mussolini proud.

    I can theoretically understand why terrified parents who can’t think of any other way to protect their children might want this, but that doesn’t make it acceptable. They’re selling everyone out for the appearance of temporary protection from the real problem.

  • many people would probably agree with the idea that it's "real" milk

    I agree, but I also think almost everyone would know which you wanted if you asked them for the “real milk”

    Conservative Yale guy expelled for cheating with AI claims Yale was against him because he's conservative, and anti-AI cheating software was against him because he's French

    Jump

  • But caring about those circumstances enough to tailor your anti cheating software involves valuing diversity enough to want to assess nonnative speakers fairly and not in exactly the same way as every other student.

    Even if he wasn’t admitted under DEI policies, having robust ones in place would have helped him (if his claim is to be believed).

  • Some thoughts after 3 years on Lemmy

    Jump

  • It's hard for me to know whether I am dealing with people who are genuinely misunderstanding my arguments, or if they are simply trying to cast doubt on my conclusions by pretending to misunderstand how I arrived at them.

    That’s hard for me too, but if you start out by assuming both, you’re going to offend people.

    I’m trying to do you a favor by telling you. I’m no longer trying to discuss the original thing at all, because I don’t feel like you’re going to engage well with the conversation. I get the sense that you’ll continue to try and cover all your bases with one comment, starting off seemingly genuine and then ending with passive aggression.

    I will make better use of my time going forward, so I won’t be engaging further, but I hope you realize that I have been genuine with you.

  • Some thoughts after 3 years on Lemmy

    Jump

  • The tone switch makes it obvious that the initial comment wasn’t genuine, which makes me feel like I’m being sold something.

    Jump

  • You seem to be confused about how my two arms point relates to the rest of my comment. It is somewhat confusing tbf, especially if you have a reason to misinterpret it in a specific way.

    …

    It has nothing to do with making sweeping claims about all 1.5 billion Muslims on this planet, it has to do with probability and risk, and I think deep down you probably already knew that.

    Well, hey! That seems ideologically consistent and all, but the swing in angle hits me as creepy, so sorry.

    Jump

  • This is more like asserting that humans are generally otherkin, proportionally. There are 1.5 billion Muslims.

  • As his faculties return, Robert (who has always been technophobic) must adapt to a different world, where almost every object is networked and mediated-reality technology is commonplace.

    …

    However, jitter and latency are considerable problems with this basic network when long distances are involved. In the novel, Robert Gu develops an algorithm that partially compensates for these technical deficiencies, and might ultimately allow the inclusion of haptics.

    This feels like it would be a little Mary-Sue to me, but I haven’t read the book. Is that transition handled well?
