intensely_human,

Asking why Star Trek dominates the Federation? tsk tsk tsk

intensely_human,

I had a similar experience today. I wanted to run a battlefield 2042 server and forgot the URL.

(It’s portal.battlefield.com)

So I google searched for “Run a battlefield 2042 server” thinking obviously that would lead to that page. Nope, all it gave me were blog posts and wikihow shit.

intensely_human,

This is the moment I switch to DDG. I started using google in 2003 and I think I’m done now.

intensely_human,

I’m gonna pack all my bags and change nothing about my life.

intensely_human,

I’ve done this. It never crossed my mind other people didn’t. You have some butter nearby and you’re eating crackers? You put the butter on the crackers.

It’s like finding a thread where people are going “Try butting butter on the toast. I know it sounds weird [no?] but you gotta try it.” and others “Oh yeah my grandma used to do that”

intensely_human,

“I kinda like it actually”

“Shut up, Nart”

“But —“

“It’s a horrible life”

intensely_human,

I just realized I’ve never tried butter on an apple. Butter on fruit generally.

Why don't rabies infected humans act like rabies infected animals

This always puzzled me. Why don’t humans act much more aggressive or crazed like its often depicted with animals. Afaik there’s 2 types of rabies, “dumb” and “furious” so my question is more towards the 2nd type. For example, we never hear of rabies causing a human to accidentally bite another human so why is that?

intensely_human,

Humans have a highly developed prefrontal cortex that allows them to suppress their own impulses through conscious will.

Humans don’t attack people when rabid because they know it’s wrong to do.

intensely_human,

It’s a legit answer. Sounds like their answer is yes it was a mistake, and the implied thing to be done instead is to leave it alone

intensely_human,

RISUG is cheap, permanent, safe, reversible male birth control.

It was invented in 1979, and has not yet come to market.

intensely_human,

Yup, nothing to figure out there. At the end of the day it’s just siberian any other coffin

intensely_human,

There’s got to be some kind of Vice Putin isn’t there? A guy who can step in and rule with an iron fist and keep things running? Or is this just some kind of jackal feeding frenzy sort of situation when he dies?

intensely_human,

Nano machine lost in pocket. Putin die.

intensely_human,

Was Dolly done in a vat? You can clone humans no problem. It’s just the age difference that’s the problem. And you don’t get to transfer the mind but we’ll have that figure out soon too.

Tips on making your data less sellable?

A charity I’m volunteering for and a contractor I know insist I have a facebook account for contact reasons. Naturally I bought a separate device to use for that, but I was wondering if there were ways to make my data undesirable to potential buyers. So far I got the obvious tiennamen square posting and that gay putin pic, but...

intensely_human,

Be weird. Be a weird fucking outlier of a person. Then you degrade the signal quality of any data pool yours is added to.

Just be fuckin weird as possible

intensely_human,

I stayed with a woman who was abusing me for six years after I knew I wanted out, because I didn’t want to hurt her feelings.

intensely_human,

One of my biggest disabilities is my inability to throw a game I’m playing. I just can’t do it

intensely_human,

I have this problem with the board game Go.

It has a perfect handicap system, and the game sucks if you don’t use the correct handicap, but I simply can’t get people to play me with a handicap because they think it’s shameful. They want to play me without a handicap, then I mop the floor with them.

But we can have a really good game that’s really engaging if we use a handicap.

intensely_human,

God I wish I could do ranked sex, and always be placed with opponents my own level.

You and me, baby. Bronze 3 division.

intensely_human,

ABC here

intensely_human,

Eddie Gordo wins again!

intensely_human,

1 pound of breakfast sausage. I pull it apart with my fingers to make interestingly-differently-sized chunks. Fry, then eat. Good with syrup.

What are your favorite fonts for technical reports?

I work at a consulting engineering firm and write a lot of reports that are read by the public. I have an opportunity to recommend a different font for all of our written documents and am looking for something more modern/fresh than Times New Roman. Also open to recommendations for purpose specific communities about...

intensely_human,

OpenDyslexic if I’m reading it myself. Especially for a long technical report because I don’t need that eye strain.

intensely_human,

It’s a font designed for columns of text about two inches wide. Not a good font for wide lines of text.

intensely_human,

That happened to me when I started using OpenDyslexic. I read so much more now, and I already read a lot.

intensely_human,

You can’t think of any reason to trust a person’s promises after they’ve broken one?

intensely_human,

Yes. If your history with such promises is you always break them, then making another of those promises is a lie unless you’ve changed something about your ability to deliver

intensely_human,

Intent in the moment is a part of the definition of a lie, yes.

You have to knowingly provide false information to lie.

intensely_human,

Yes and the thing dictionaries describe is the definitions of words. Since we’re talking about the definition of lying, that’s where the dictionary becomes relevant here.

intensely_human,

I disclose that by using words that describe my level of certainty. Like “I think” or “Possibly” or “It may be the case” or “I’m tempted to think”.

intensely_human,

Going to bed without doing the dishes even once makes it a lie, unless you’re literally passing out and just happen to steer yourself to fall on the bed.

intensely_human,

Have you ever interacted with a human that seemed like an idiot? Do you think that person is incapable of understanding?

intensely_human,

Definitely. If you have a search tool that maps situational data to the perfect response, like it works out well every time, your search tool is intelligent. Period.

intensely_human,

Nah, I think a hash map is intelligent if and definitely if it maps all possible inputs. Then it’s intelligent. Don’t overestimate your own information content there, homo sapiens. You assume there’s no problem that your mind cannot solve, which is a weak assumption given the infinity of problems that awaits your species.

intensely_human,

Any hash map you or I have ever seen is not very intelligent, possibly not at all. But the infinitely large hash map we’re talking of is different. It can handle any possible situation it encounters. That’s part of its definition.

Our hashmaps — the finite hashmaps we use to store shipping addresses and candy crush preferences — would be torn to shreds in the real world. But not this infinite hashmap that maps all possible inputs to all possible outputs. It’s a one-layer network but it’s really wide. It’s as wide as the universe of possibility, at least.

intensely_human,

How is this millennial lingo?

intensely_human,

Ugh. Nothing is more tone deaf to human culture than telling a person there’s a room down the hall dedicated to telling jokes.

intensely_human,

Perhaps LEED should be replaced by a bunch of smaller certifications, each covering only a tiny subset.

It is nice to have one logo you can stick on a building, instead of lots of them. But after a little pushing it could be normalized to have a spot for multiple plaques near the entrance of a building, showing which certs it has earned.

Then you have a lower bar for entry and owners can choose a la carte what they want to strive for, and disregard the rest.

Like, a sound isolation rating on an apartment building would be a huge selling point. Have a certifying company that brings in big speakers and microphones and tests room-to-room sound conduction. Then you get a certification for the soundproofing.

I guess the nice thing about private cert authorities is anybody can just do this. It would take a while to get recognized but you could solve the two-sided marketplace problem pretty easily.

intensely_human,

The purpose of judges is to account for lawyers who aren’t very smart.

intensely_human,

So 600 bucks. The cost is you don’t get to use those gas stations any longer.

intensely_human,

Seems more like a poophole to me

intensely_human,

OP and everyone else who sees “free donuts” and takes the whole box

intensely_human,

Well at least he’s not on fire

intensely_human,

What if it’s not what it is though??

intensely_human,

MOTHER OF GOD!
