I like helping animals in need. When did we agree that only the most intelligent/fit animals deserve to live?

I don’t intervene however if it is predator vs prey. Helping one would mean harming the other.

Edit: thought about the predator vs prey thing some more. I guess I do tend to help if one seems much more sentient then the other.

Neither, I think it’s none of my business.

I don’t see why we would want to gatekeep the fediverse. If more people decided to use it over centralized social media, I think that’d be a positive development.

And as you know, the fediverse is far from homogeneous. I expect there will always be some very big general purpose “normie” instances like lemmy.world, and smaller, more niche ones for specific communities.

Normally I prefer oat milk but for porridge I use soy milk, for exactly that reason.

With these things, it often makes sense to ask the opposite question. Would it be possible for one to not affect the other? Legal and illegal markets would have to be completely separated, meaning money used in one couldn’t be used in the other, and entities participating in one couldn’t participate in the other.

That is obviously not true, so yeah, black markets influence the legal economy.

I think there are two separate questions here.

1. Which experiences should not be missed? Those that help you grow. In no particular order: heartbreak, loss, defeat, love, friendship, challenge…
2. How to enjoy your 20s? Well I guess that somewhat depends on your funds, your preferences and your location.

What I’d recommend: Don’t stick to what you know, you have the rest of your life for that. Try new experiences, keep an open mind, meet new people, visit different places, learn things. And chase your dreams before life has got you on your knees.

Thanks, now I have that acronym in my search history

I would argue that every species alive today evidently found a strategy that works, otherwise they wouldn’t be here.

Perhaps some mushrooms actually rely on being eaten somehow. Or perhaps being poisonous comes with downsides, so it isn’t purely an advantage.

The development of Grok is quite interesting to me. Musk has two competing goals:

1. Make Grok smart
2. Make Grok agree with Musk

Musk seems to be choosing some kind of middle ground. If you look at trackingai.org Grok falls into the bottom left quadrant, like every LLM. Of all LLMs however, it leans the most towards the bottom right.

Yes, if you want the scent to stick longer, you need a higher concentration, not more perfume.

I like EdP, you apply it in the morning and by the evening only the base notes are left, you can then re-apply if you are going out.

Generelly, the scent of a perfume always develops while you wear it. The top notes that can be smelled immediately after applying are gone after half an hour, then you can smell the middle notes and finally the base notes.

Concentration changes how long middle notes and base notes linger, the top notes always disappear fast.

It’s also a matter of concentration. An EdC may last for only an hour, an Extrait you may smell for a few days.

about 150ml per year (that’s for EdP)

I don’t know about the historical reasons. But I do think it is good to have some ordinary people influencing the judgement as well, rather than just some judge sitting in their ivory tower.

I guess she is telling him that he is too old to use this kinda language.

I don’t, there’s a canteen where I work.

Incredibly difficult to limit it to five, ask me tomorrow and I’ll probably come up with 5 others. Anyway

1. Left 4 Dead 2
2. Portal 2
3. Metro Exodus
4. Life is Strange 2
5. DayZ

Not saying this isn’t true, but there is something that I have often wondered with this reasoning.

There have been some quite powerful socialist states. Sure, fledgeling socialist states were sabotaged by the US and it’s allies. But they were also propped up by the USSR and it’s allies.

So, if external sabotage explains the failure of socialist states, why wasn’t support from powerful socialist allies enough to offset it? And why didn’t comparable interference cause capitalist states to fail at similar rates?
