“It’s just the corner of the fireworks store that’s on fire, I don’t see what you’re concerned about”

AI power growth is projected to grow exponentially for a service a lot of people view as morally reprehensible and actively harmful

Spencer Weart identified the dangers of global warming in the 50s, we ignored the warnings and now people and entire species are dying. Excuse us for trying to prevent accelerating the problem

American BBQ. There’re a lot of regional flavors and differences but most of them are bad in my opinion. Memphis dry rubs and Kansas City molasses sauces are my 2 favorites

At 283 it takes 25 seconds to go 2 miles. So I think it’s pretty safe to assume it took around a minute since it does take time to get to that speed but I assume it gets over 100 in under 10 seconds considering that’s not super difficult for a sports car to achieve

I’ve always liked this old Cracked video which argues that Zach Morris’ Time Out is low stakes enough to not create a superhero world but just kinda makes everything work for you

In a world without other superheroes? Rogue’s powers from X-Men are probably the worst. You can never have physical contact with other people for the rest of your life and there’s no other powers to steal. Lose/lose

Hey quick question: how do you know who I voted for?

For the record that’s about as far back as the first "homo"s appeared. Homo Erectus, Homo Habilus, and of course us, Homo Sapiens. So he would be working from the time that the first thing we could mostly call humans first appeared, through some ice ages, through agriculture, and the entirety of human unrecorded and recorded history. 24/7/365 with zero breaks. Truly, we cannot comprehend these numbers

AI Data centers noticeably fuck with the grid. As a result they are facing internal and external pressure to generate more of their own power. Microsoft is opening a nuclear power plant. I would not be shocked to learn through solar, wind, and coal they provide the majority of their own power

I disagree, that looks like a record player. You can see the plastic cover and what looks like part of the plate on top. There’s also a VCR and I doubt there were many instances of PS3s and VCRs being plugged into the same CRT. I don’t doubt it happened, but this is giving more late 90s/early 2000s than mid/late 2000s

Short answer: pay them. These apps have made themselves the barrier to human interaction and will put you in front of more people if you pay them. If you’re online dating then you’re playing a numbers game and the best way to win a numbers game is playing as much as possible

Age quod agis

The reason why I assume a certain number of lemmy users can name every element of the periodic table

Probably Newton and Tesla. Both seemed to not really understand other people and were more focused on their specific hobbies

Ted Lasso is feel good TV about a guy who takes his traditional skill set outside of his country to a different career (football coach to soccer coach) and different culture. It has a focus on being kind and embracing other cultures. Obviously OP is implying a cultural dissonance with this being popular given the American political landscape

So you’re saying I should view the speed of sound in a medium like the speed of light in a vacuum? That it’s the “speed-limit” of how a wave propagates and so trying to exceed it is impossible for a physical wave?

In Horizon Forbidden West

As I live in the south I hear my “how are you all doing” morphing into “howya’lldoin” and there’s nothing I can do to stop it

I’m so sorry to be the one to tell you this but 30 years ago was the mid 90s, not the 70s-80s

Honestly John Wick is pretty tame compared to Neo. When you don’t have to be concerned with physics you can make guns do a lot

Arguably Keanu Reeves, between the time machine and being able to manipulate reality it’d be hard to stop him

Do incels have some core complaints with validity? Yeah, online dating has been designed specifically to make the majority of people using it feel bad. There are genuine problems that men face in society that women don’t and they don’t get support for. However you can’t pick and choose the members of your ideology, only your choice to share it with them

The ultimate problem is that red/blue/black pill ideology is all rooted in the manosphere and incel culture. By utilizing their terminology you are associating yourself with a group of misogynists, racists, and terrorists

Which is to say someone who says “my MS makes my life difficult enough as is, so I choose not to struggle with dating on top of it” is different from “I’ve been blackpilled because these Stacys won’t consider dating below 8.5/10s”

There’re other points to be made with regards to being “too ugly to date”, why people dislike non-traditional sexualities, and modern dating culture. However, I’d bet if you went into the real world and talked to real people about specific struggles leading to deciding to no longer date without a bunch of internet words you would see a lot more support
