  • Cleaning your butthole is good and important, but a washcloth between the toes is more satisfying.

    Jump

  • I think any satisfaction derived from either is simply from a feeling of good maintenance and is unremarkable and the fact you have indeed remarked upon it suggests you only wish to draw attention to your anatomy like a floozy.

  • When you've been both the giver of unrequited love, and you've also been the receiver of unrequited love, you understand love in ways both tragic and yet also profound.

    Jump

  • The more general thing is that all love relationships are unrequited to a degree. The unrequitedness is on a sliding scale from examples conventionally described as unrequited to anything where there is an asymmetry in the love which is most cases. Usually one partner will love the other more and I think this is by evolved design, it means that in significant disagreements the one that loves more will back down as they fear the loss of the relationship more. Unevenness of the shared love will allow the bond to maintain itself when more equally bonded partnerships would have broken.

  • The phrases "This shit is dope!" and "This dope is shit!" have exact opposite meanings.

    Jump

  • It is not very complex, both are generalist reference terms, shit can be a neutral referrer or have negative connotations and dope can be neutral or have positive connotations. So your two phrases decant to this referred to thing is a good thing and this referred to thing is a bad thing.

    Utah first state to hold websites liable for users who mask their location with VPNs — law goes into effect, designed to prevent bypassing age checks

  • So then something else will be found that yields a degree of anonymity, that is the game we all play. They sell us security which tastes like totalitarianism and we respond with compliance which smells like subversion.

    A cross-national survey of 31,000 adults in 30 countries finds that digital health literacy is highest in low- and middle-income countries and lowest in high-income countries

    Jump

  • The inverse correlation with income is unsurprising because in many countries public healthcare has a cost in money or time at the point of use. The statistics likely indicate an avoidance of this cost rather than any intellectual preference for AI diagnosis.

  • Sightings of Meteors Surge, and Scientists Aren’t Sure Why

    Jump

  • There is a lot of UFO reference in the media lately so people are looking up more, noticing things more and reporting them. Plus everyone has a camera with them, if you record something and show it around it lodges in your head more, you are more likely to report it and be on the lookout for more.

    Connecticut lawmakers approve bill for cell phone ban in schools — but critics argue that having different rules for adults and students is ‘not good role modeling at all’

    Jump

  • I wonder if some of those critics are by an odd coincidence funded by phone related entities.

    Germany says U.S. troop withdrawal 'anticipated', Spain and Italy could be next

  • The US placed troops in Germany for its own influence not to aid Germany but that is joined up thinking. Let's destroy all our bases that will show them.

  • You are catching it now too, but such is the way of it. People do not want levelled counter views and debate they want to scream bloody villainy and evil doings and then disappear into the crowd when everything turns out fine. And do it all in the name of free speech, as long as its only their speech of course.

  • Microsoft has an ambitious plan to win users back, and go toe-to-toe with Valve's SteamOS for gaming — but I'm not getting my hopes up

    Jump

  • You mention Windows Me and Vista as low points but Windows 8 was such a donkey that your memory must have blocked it so you could go on with your life. And you just know this wonderful new streamlined and privacy conscious version is going to look suspiciously like Windows 7 which most users wanted to stick with anyway.

  • The machines becoming stronger and smarter than us and starting to wonder if they needed the monkeys around was always a fly in the ointment of that particular utopia. Not to mention the monkeys themselves feeling a bit like a fifth wheel and getting demoralised.

  • Microsoft adds the bloat themselves, and ever increasing telemetry reporting back, promises to update W10 for the lifetime of the device, reneges on it with W11 quoting security as its rationale but leaving 400 million users without security updates. Does all this at a time Linux is becoming very friendly and android phones have a desktop mode so they can be plugged into a keyboard and monitor and bypass the need for Windows. Microsoft has a bit of a think about the market value of its idiot direction and decides to remove a lot of the crap slowing the OS and give people back a little privacy, touts it as a new way of thinking about personal computing.

  • A quarter of AI datacenter capacity could just mine Bitcoin while billing the customers, and no one would notice.

    Jump

  • Why a quarter

  • Is this not just a jaundiced slant on the future we were all promised where machines do all the work and we lay around in togas eating blancmange.

  • This is being presented as more doom laden than is warranted. Ostensibly it is an effort to stop less technically able users from installing malware, certainly there will be unspoken ulterior motivations but such is the world we have allowed to grow around us. As far as overarching evil plans go this is quite a benign example.
