Wheaties [she/her]

Good to know, thank you

If I understand correctly, the characters here are likely used to refer to a fashion trend in Japan; dressing in cute, overly-frilly, doll-like clothing. Ironically, this trend started (in part) as a way to avoid unwanted male attention – if you dressed like you were younger while out and about, then creepy old guys were less likely to play grab-ass. It’s part of Japan’s feminist movement – a way of reclaiming power in public spaces.

NONE OF THE ENGLISH NAMES FOR THIS SOUND GOOD, primarily because most of our translation efforts revolve around pornography and, to a lesser extent, comics and cartoons.

new phones look goofy with all the extra cameras and circles of dubious functionality

i want a phon with no cameras cus i never uses em so why should i pay for hardware i don’t need?

I can’t believe China has already met the very high bar set by american innovators, someone check the servers at twitter-dot-com to make sure the advanced code for Grok™is still secure

you know you’re actually serious about it when you try to find a niche message board dedicated to thing

Do I hear 150000 cents for a pre-drained battery still in original packaging, unopened?

Treating things as things -> me, cool, historical

Treating people as things -> you, “logical”

importing the yankee’s hardon for punishment, i see

They put more history in it. That’s practically a service to the museum, a value add. Ought to be commemorated for it, really.

this is a victimless crime that is also crimeless because it shouldn’t be illegal

bloodborne

I agree that there are similarities in how groups of nerve cells process information and how neural networks are trained, but I’m hesitant to say that’s a whole picture of the human mind. Modern anesthesiology suggests microtubuals, structures within cells, also play a function in cognition.

My definition of a Turing machine? I’m not sure you know what Turing machines are. It’s a general purpose computer, described in principle. And, in principle, a computer can only carry out one task at a time. Modern computers are fast, they may have several CPUs stitched together and operating in tandem, but they are still fundamentally limited by this. Bodies don’t work like that. Every part of them is constantly reacting to it’s environment and it’s neighboring cells - concurrently.

You are essentially saying, “Well, the hardware of the human body is very complex, and this software is(n’t quite as) complex; so the same sort of phenomenon must be taking place.” That’s absurd. You’re making a lopsided comparison between two very different physical systems. Why should the machine we built for doing sums just so happen to reproduce a phenomena we still don’t fully understand?

You are ~30 trillion cells all operating concurrently with one another. Are you suggesting that is in any way similar to a Turing machine?

look, if all of Parliament is extremest, then comparatively none of them are

i hate wolf disputes

Despite none of his animals so far not being attacked, he is still worried.

I hate this wolf dispute even more.

Mergeay explained that contact between livestock and wolves can be avoided by fences.
