Mankind's hubris knows no bounds
  • We need to revive other mega fauna first, otherwise they'll just eat us as the next best choice. Big predators require big prey.

  • I have a shelf of boxes that I just can't throw out...
  • In the past 14 years, ever since becoming an adult, I have had to move 11 different times. I have learned just how useful good boxes are. I can't get rid of them, I'm gonna need them when I move again next year.

  • New York did something absolutely incredible
  • Him being 33 years old hits me kind of hard (in a good way) because I'm just a year younger than him.
    When I see his age, one of my first thoughts is, "That could be me." Seeing candidates my age actually succeeding instead of geriatric ones actually makes me feel represented and that I could do something similar, too. Obviously not Mayor of the largest city in the US, but I could run for a city council position in the town I live in. And this makes it feel like I could actually succeed.

    That's huge to feel in this day.

  • Izzy Looking Out The Window
  • Close. It was actually a rabbit.

  • Google bribes iNaturalist to use generative AI — volunteers quit in outrage
  • I'm curious. What red flags do you see between the two? I haven't done any research into the dot Com bubble.

  • Google bribes iNaturalist to use generative AI — volunteers quit in outrage
  • Will nothing be spared from the AI-pocalypse? I made nearly 100 observations for them over the past 2 years.
    Guess I get to look somewhere else to help out now.

  • Galaxy Brain
  • I realize what this post is saying, but it reminded me of a somewhat similar situation. In my high school we had to learn the stems of words and their meanings (I.E. Acro = high; acr = sharp, etc). Our English teachers would give us a list of 15 stems (25 if you took accelerated/advanced English) at the start of the week and then on Friday they would hand out a quick test for us to conplete.
    The idea was you'd look over the list throughout the week and memorize them that way. But instead I would look at the list 5 minutes before the exam, memorize them, take the test, ace it, then forget about them before the class even ended. Worked every time.

  • Lawsuit Challenging 2024 Election Results Moves Forward After Kamala Harris Received Zero Votes in a New York County
  • I'll have to read the article, but if I recall correctly there are some rather religious communities in some New York counties. And they vote in a rather peculiar way. They will listen to their religious leaders about who to vote for and then they all unilaterally vote for that candidate.
    I'm wondering if that's what's going on.

  • Just guy things
  • Hey, now, why is it weird? I consider it respectful as Victor wanted him to be as complete as possible. How could he call his creation complete if it was missing a rather fundamental part of a human? Would you call him complete if he only gave him one arm or one leg? Of course not. So Victor has to look for a penis to give him or else his project is left unfinished.

  • Exactly. If humans can have an extremely diverse range of kinks and fetishes, just imagine the kinds that advanced civilizations might have.

  • Hubris
  • Wouldn't it be better for them to be wearing life jackets instead?

  • Short term memory loss
  • I believe the strategy is called Starving the Beast.

  • actually serious
  • Funny this gets brought up as about 4 weeks ago Elliot Sang released a 71 minute video asking that very same question.

  • Let's cute up our day.
  • Izzy wants head scritches

  • Vibe check rule
  • I think I may have been reading too much into the word "bad" implying as if the person themself is bad since they still dislike being referred to as weird.

    I think it can also depend on who calls you weird and why/how. I've received both the negative, "ew, you're weird" reactions as well as positive ones. Like a friend calling me a "strange human being" in an endearing way; or another saying I'm 80/20 with my weirdness. With 80% being good weird and the remaining 20% just plain weird. I think being called weird in a positive way can help with embracing it.

  • Vibe check rule
  • I feel I disagree. Those who get mad at being called weird just haven't learned to accept and embrace their weirdness yet. It took me a while. And I still sometimes feel the need to hide it. It can take a while to work through.

  • Finally finished dumping my entire library of GameCube and Wii discs for Dolphin!
  • Jailbreaking the Wii U is a little bit more involved as it requires some "special" equipment. It's in quotes as not many are going to have a USB A to ethernet adapter, nor a compatible model, but they aren't all that rare either. But once it's done you don't have to worry about jailbreaking it again. Dumping Wii U games isn't much harder than GC/Wii either.

  • Finally finished dumping my entire library of GameCube and Wii discs for Dolphin!
  • Not OP, but I have dumped my own collection of GameCube and Wii games.
    The easiest way to do it is with a jailbroken Wii since it's not hard to do. Once jailbroken, the dumping process is about 12 minutes for a GC game and about 20-30 minutes for a Wii game (I forget the exact time). So with that in mind, you can make a rough calculation for how long it will take to dump your collection.
    There are a few unmentioned steps, like converting the games from .iso to .rvz to save on space, but it's rather easy to get going when you have a guide to follow.

  • Just be aware that you'll be wearing out your outer front tire much faster than the others by doing that. That's the tire doing most of the work constantly turning your two ton vehicle.

    Had A Cute But Slightly Terrifying Moment With A Bee. More Photos Inside.

    It was originally on my towel while tanning and I grabbed my phone to take a pic. After the towel pic, it hopped onto my hand right between my middle and ring fingers. The problem was that was my phone hand, so I could feel it moving around, but I couldn't actually see it. I was hoping it would fly away, but it just stayed there. I carefully took my phone with my other hand and it thankfully started walking down my finger. I think it was after my sweat.
