Damn, seeing how Lemmy groupthink and piling on works is interesting. If it was the case, Alpha Fold wouldn’t be a thing.

AI recombines, searches for alternatives, and can try different stuff. Sure, it wont magically generate a new genera, but it has generated a lot of new solutions in fields like protein recombination and such.

Damn, I sort of feel like saying “Thank fuck he isn’t president of MY country”, but then I remember how even my local covidiots felt validated by the giant cheese puff, and how Trump is offering carte blanche to companies, for them to pillage and destroy the living conditions of the whole world.

All I can do is shake my head, hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Dank is entirely subjective, and even if we were born in the same “back then”, our danks can be completely incompatible. There isn’t an agenda, it is just another extension of capitalism and profitability.

Genetical in the sense that you are programmed to behave like that, not in the sense it has to be yours to prompt said response. Paternity fraud is no joke.

Better than neo-pronouns, single person identifiers should be what they have always been, their name and set the pronouns as they/them, for English at least.

If I could, I would hug you and give you a pastry. Thank you for being amazing, giving good explanations and keeping your cool in the face of that dumbass jerk. Hell knows my queer, autistic ass just can’t cope.

Language is important because it helps convey things. If a language is mangled to the point where it can’t be understood, it is no longer a language at all, and the person you have been responding to seems to either be a troll, too profoundly stupid or actively unwilling to engage in proper communication.

I am gay, and I approve this message.

Worked for me, turned gay. Five stars/zero kids.

It is pretty easy to tamper with a condom in invisible ways, from poking holes or letting it expire, to stealthing. Hell, you can even cook the condom at low heat for a while in its package and you will cause significant structural damage to it, without even bruising most packaging.

Even a freshly bought condom and a little sleight of hand can go a long way into tampering. No birth control is trust free.

I am cis, yet I used to wear women’s jeans because my ass is glorious, and back in my day they just didn’t make form flattering clothes for men. Wore foundation and a little make up to help boost my self esteem and hide my scars, and enhance my natural beauty, and acted “as a woman” because I was already androgynous as fuck, and I had a lot of fun watching people get mindfucked and perplexed when they found out I was a non gender conforming mechanic.

There are many reasons to wear women’s clothes, you don’t get to invalidate everyone else because you think everyone who has enjoyed some things from “the other side of the fence” is trans, in denial and you are the only one who knows better and can save them.

That is some real “white savior” grade bullshit, mate.

Glad you’re getting yeeted.

Because of course, you know better than them. You know better than everyone and if anyone thinks otherwise, they’re wrong. /s

Going up to a person and telling them “Hey, you’re fat”, “Hey, you’re white” or “Hey, you’re trans”, is rude, dumb and a sign that you might be autistic or a moron.

Sure, some femboys do grow older and realize they were trans all along, and some don’t. I am a bit fluid, but when I was young, I could have been considered a femboy, if that had been considered a thing back then. Looking pretty, androgynous, wearing gender neutral or mixing it up some days was a lot of fun, but FOR ME it was a phase. I enjoyed it when I was young, but it is no longer my thing, because people are fluid. For others it is not a phase, and they genuinely enjoy being femboys, for some others it is the beginning of a self realization journey.

Point is, let people be who they are, your experience is not the same as everyone else’s. And I have seen your other “meme” and your comments, and you are surprisingly quick to dismiss other gender identities, and on the same breath say that trans women are not real women.

You got some deep seated issues, darling. Seek help, and I don’t mean it as an insult, I say it because I really think you could benefit from it.

Turns out one of my favorite bands is that Playlist (Diablo Swing Orchestra), pretty cool of them to release free music under the Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs license, TIL.

You are either a troll or very ignorant. Not everyone loves boobs, the same way as everyone has shit themselves countless times as a baby and liked it(You can literally see the joy on a baby’s face right after they relieve themselves), but that does not mean that it is an enjoyable thing for every grownup out there.

BTW, sorry for getting defensive. But yeah, I work on what I can and since my country is very shitty about disabilities, and being disabled, cooking and any manual labor take me forever, and for me the morality aspect of it is placing the burden of vegetarian and vegan diets on the consumer, when in reality is is easier and cheaper to manufacture, if we exclude subsidies.

I don’t harbor any animosity against vegetarians or vegans, it is a lot of work, I used to be vegan myself, but convenience and prices pushed me out. I always question myself before giving an argument, and finding out I am wrong is a great way to grow and remind myself how fallible we people are.

I like how you engage politely, and nourish discourse. Part of the issue is the fact that time and money are not commodities that I sadly posses, and when the behemoth of the meat industry has bribed their way into massive subsidies, to the point where they can sell oven-ready beef patties for a dollar each, which sure, I can go cheaper and more tasty with lentil patties, but the time and effort they take, that is time that thanks to capitalism and exploitation, I don’t posses.

And the added inconvenience of having to carry your food everywhere, be hungry or pay for the outrageously overpriced vegan options out there, when one can instead just buy a hot dog without even breaking a stride.

Personally I don’t have a moral issue with killing animals for food, but the industrialization of the practice is immoral and dehumanizing. I have raised chicken and goats for food, and when you do it in a sustainable, cruelty free way, I am fine with their deaths, but capitalism and the race for profits make it impossible to do, due to the competition being a soulless, entirely for profit, global machine.

Thanks capitalism.

Already doing that, and living a mostly sustainable life, trying to reduce my carbon footprint as much as I can without sacrificing the little joys an exploited and burned out worker can.

I hate that vegetarian/vegan options require so much work on my part and/or are expensive as hell at least where I live, thanks to the massive subsidies the meat industry gets.

Hell, if I am having a tough day, which I often do, I don’t have the energy to make myself a lentil patty, just so I can eat a burger, or buy the grossly overpriced ones at the shop, but when I can buy a bag of them for less than a dollar each patty, convenience wins. That is one of the factors that made me stop being vegetarian. Got tired of all the work it takes.

I think it is immoral to expect me to increase my workload by a ton through cooking, when I don’t even have the time to take care of myself thanks to capitalism. Sadly, due to enormous subsidies meat is cheap, readily available and vegetarian/vegan options are scarce and overpriced where I live.

Added to the fact that the effort vs impact table is pretty much meaningless when you assess all the damage to the world that the rich are doing, it just feels like a gargantuan waste of my energy and resources, to not even move the needle.

And I get to piss off sanctimonious, preachy people like you in the process, win/win.

For the planet? Doubt it, the amount of primary forests being razed to grow soy, displacing local wildlife be it flora or fauna, and especially with locals, usually already living in difficult situations before being forced to move, is horrid.

I am glad college gave me the habit of fact checking myself, turns out I was wrong as fuck. True, soy is a water intensive but not as water intensive as many other crops or meat. And a lot of companies buy cheap land, raze what was there, “poison” the soil with specific fertilizers that change the properties of said land so the soy can prosper, while also alienating the local plants, however most companies that do this, do it to feed livestock, since soy is very efficient and resilient when compared to most livestock feed.

Plus, only about 6% of soy is destined for human consumption, about 90% of it is used as a cheap livestock feed. I still oppose to veganism from a moral standpoint, and consider that buying local would make a far greater impact, but now I can go back to buying tofu without feeling guilty.

Same for “lost media” kinda stuff. I would usually find Torrents with seeds for obscure bands from my dad’s old country, that he loves listening to, but nowadays, all that stuff is gone, and no way to purchase the bootleg of a concert in Eastern Europe, in 1992.

Hell, even official albums are hard to get, with being out of press, the rights being lost to the ages and stuff like that. Even with music from when I was young, and I’m not even 40.

Last time I ranted about it, people told me to just find the stuff on YouTube and download it from there, it was atrocious.
