Let’s get that full quoted sentence instead of the two worda out of context that let you post the link you wanted.

And if we look at nature in general, non-monogamous breeding across all species is the most common.

Didn’t even need the whole sentence, just the word before those… “Across all species”.

There’s kind of my point. It is a societal construct, one largely tied to religion and thus easily mapped to religious expansion across the globe.

“Normal” for things like this is meaningless, because it is entirely based in arbitrary beliefs, not anything inherent in being human. It is based entirely on fake limits we’ve imposed on ourselves as a culture, nothing more.

This is really only “abnormal” in a traditional, Christianity-based modern societal culture, and that’s nowhere near the entire world.

I think the fact you have to point out that we’re the only species that has developed drugs, in order to exclude every other species kind of proves it though.

By what definition of “normal”? Polygamy is a central part of several religions for instance. And if we look at nature in general, non-monogamous breeding across all species is the most common.

So you’re saying to load this shell second.

Complaint? That should be a full lawsuit. Open AI is already aware their product hallucinates information.

Negligence at least, if not full defamation.

When you have thousands of possible upstream causes, but the end consumer effectively only sees and cares about two (availability, and price) then of course it’s all going to look the same. When you have a fever, cough, and shortness of breath it could be COVID, or pneumonia, or influenza, or just a cold, looks pretty similar when you have limited symptoms to work with.

Especially to the perpetually online edgelords on places like lemmy and reddit. Might as well just accept any and all conspiracy theories without evidence as well while we’re at it, because they’re apparently just as valid as plausible economic reasons when there is limited data. I miss when the tinfoil hat people without a shred of evidence were pushed out of society instead of being given the same platform as evidence-based conclusions.

A reminder that tariffs are actually a thing.

A 25% tariff on a $600 item is $150. Even taking into account the tariff applying to the import cost instead, sales margins aren’t the majority of the cost. The tariff is applying to the wholesale cost to import the product, sales margins are then added on top of that.

I haven’t seen a single thing from AMD about whether the MSRP was set taking the tariffs into account or not. If not, then that should only apply to the devices imported before that went into effect. And everything after would be at least 25% more, more like 30% taking into account sales margins are based AFTER import costs.

On flights between major airports, with no inclement weather, and ignoring direct human control like taxiing and communications, many commercial flights are already effectively there. Automatic takeoff, autopilot in the air, and auto land systems handle nearly everything else automatically.

I mean, when you sell parts of your business to others you sort of give up control of them. That’s the way it works dipshits.

How can investors take any of these corpos serious when they constantly fuck things up everywhere they go.

Getting really of these shit titles and takes.

Of course a new IP like Mickey 17 isn’t going to bring in the numbers of an existing well known franchise with an established fanbase AND a previous installment with a cliffhanger ending like fucking Dune.

Having worked in retail phone repair for 15 years, both for a major US carrier and privately… A lot.

I saw water damaged phones every single day, and I’m hundreds of miles from an ocean, sea, lake, or any major body of water. That’s just from mistakes near things like backyard pools.

I know it’s a meme, but for those that aren’t aware… the Caesar salad was invented in Tijuana, Mexico by Italian immigrant Caesar Cardini in 1924.

I never said it was impossible. I said it was harder to both make them replaceable and water resistant. And they won’t bother to do both for 99% of models, they’ll just drop the water resistance to comply with replaceable battery requirements. There might be a few that they bother and then sell at inflated prices.

They’ll make them replaceable and ignore waterproofing them for 99% of models citing the added difficulty in making a good seal without being able to glue it shut. Which is arguably true. It’s possible, but more difficult to design and much more likely to fail.

A significant part of NASA may be in Alabama, but If bet that’s not where most of those educated engineers are coming from.

That’s what happens when you design laws around the shit mega corporations do instead of categorizing and regulating that directly.

Urban Dead is being shutdown by a law clearly intended to target websites like Facebook.

Avoid populated areas, and fly low. The exact same techniques that they’ve been using for decades. Radar is dumb, it sends back a return when it bounces off objects, but you can’t tell what it is returning, that’s why planes have transponders to supplement more info. If you just don’t do that and fly low it will get filtered out with the terrain most of the time.

REI is a consumer co-operative, not a worker co-operative.

Not on the global scale.
