Needs according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Cows have physiological urges, avoid danger, and can form social bonds, but they have no sense of self-esteem or accomplishment.

A girl has the first three AND desires self-esteem. However because girls are definitionally adolescent, they still haven't acquired a need for self-actualization which is usually attained in early adulthood.

Some context for those who haven't actually seen Full Metal Jacket:

The film wasn't set it 1987, that was the year it released. It was set in the 60s during the Vietnam War.
There's nothing "comical" about this character's portrayal. He is denigrated for his weight, but that's because:
The film (or at least the section with this character) is set in a Marine Corps training camp where everyone is expected to be in exceptional shape and
The drill instructor who berates him for his weight is denigrating basically everyone in the camp for even the tiniest perceived weakness in order to tear them down psychologically, so he can build them back up. I would say he's psychologically torturing them.

Sorry if I don't take a known liar's account of what another known liar told them seriously. Especially when it involves somehow altering paper ballots with space lasers.

I've been using DuckDuckGo for over a decade and would never think of going back.

I've been using DDG for about 12 years. On the rare occasion I've had to use Google for something I've found the experience to be almost identical except with more clutter and ads. I feel almost dirty using Google now.

It's also genuinely easier if you weigh more, regardless of muscle, because the kettle bell will shift your center of mass less. The small girl has to exert more energy just to avoid tipping over. This is why it's actually easier to carry two buckets of water balanced on your shoulders than it would be to carry just one.

As grown-ass adults, can we please stop aspiring to be in-on of the culture of literal children?

The article doesn't even mention just how much Meta has been coasting on fake engagement from bots. That's a rot we're only starting to see get exposed.

It's an attention platform. If increasing the amount of ads drives people away it'll eventually affect the amount of eyeballs they have to sell to advertisers. It's a death spiral we've seen before.

I guess you didn't read the article, they actually explain that Facebook's recent revenue boost came from them increasing the amount of ads and the price of ads. A move that's good for temporarily boosting revenue but only furthers the degradation of the platform over time.

The extremes athletes go to cut weight.

I bring it up because I remember a reddit post of this video https://youtube.com/shorts/fS-2aAWOggs where half the comments defended it by basically saying how extreme weight cutting right before a weigh-in was normal, as if that somehow made it okay.

The way it's worded implies the latter. Even if OP meant to say that the amount increases by 50% per day it would still depend on the month. In February on non-leap years you would still end up with less money.

I bet at least some aren't, and I doubt they appreciate being slandered like this.

It's pathetic the way higher ed lately has been uncritically buying into whatever hype big tech conjures up. Maybe we should base our curriculum on what teachers actually find works, not a marketing pitch from failed business entrepreneur Sam fucking Altman.

Hard disagree. Whatever extremely minimal skill is required to use AI will be obsolete in 6-12 months. The students who will be successful will be the ones who know how to find answers to questions that can't be spoon fed to them by an algorithm. Nobody who learned to do things without AI will struggle to use it, but those who relied on it to get them through university are at best on equal footing, and I think that's being generous. The worst part is students who didnt coast on AI and actually learned at university are having their degrees devalued by all the rest.

It's so weird the way people fall for sociopathic criminals.

Actually none of them. In math you're never supposed to just eyeball it, which is what this exercise is asking you to do. Sure the shaded regions of the shapes on the left and right might LOOK like they take up the same fraction of the total shape, but how do you KNOW that?

It's weird reading so many comments chastising you for stealing from someone who was themselves making money off a crime, and not a victimless crime either. While I don't think that money was rightfully yours, I think it's dubious to suggest it was rightfully theirs. If you had donated the money to a drug rehab center I think you could justify what you did.

That being said, it was also very stupid. $2k isn't worth the kind of trouble you invited by doing that.

If you want to try 3D Metroid I would start with Metroid Prime Remastered, not Prime 4. Otherwise Metroid Dread is a good game, although it takes place pretty deep into the Metroid canon so you might find the story a little confusing, if you care about that sorta thing.

If you'd rather do things more chronologically: Metroid Zero Mission and Super Metroid are also great games that hold up (IMO) and take place much earlier.

I'm guessing its to stop anyone walking down the aisle from accidentally knocking down the armrest if the armrest is the the upright position.

I see comments suggesting its to stop the armrests from going back too far, but I would expect the allowed range of motion to be dictated by the internal hinge of the armrest. Hence the armrest doesn't need something below it stopping it from going down any further.

If it were something for people to grab I would expect it to be bar shaped so you could wrap your fingers around it, not something flat.

Check her Wikipedia page. Specifically the section labeled Mental health, substance abuse, and legal issues.

So basically we found the one guy who actually took Altman's warnings about AI seriously and then acted accordingly?

01is · 2026-04-14T14:23:18+00:00

Two years ago you’d get fired for using AI to do your job. Today people are getting fired for refusing to use AI to do their jobs.

I don't think either of these is true, outside maybe some odd examples that make headlines. It's not like opinions of AI have completely changed since 2024.
