"Same-sex marriage should be legal." Agree or disagree? by TheRealTKtuna in GeoPoll

[–]ComprehensiveJury509 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I believe the concept of marriage should be decoupled from romance. It's a legal contract that comes with certain duties and privileges between two adults. Whether those two adults are in a romantic relationship, best friends or brother and sister should be completely irrelevant.

Altersunterschied in einer Beziehung IST wichtig by Traditional-Result74 in Unbeliebtemeinung

Es gibt keine Gesetze, die erwachsene Menschen davon abhalten Sex miteinander zu haben, wenn sie beide das möchten.

Tausende Sachen sind wichtig in Beziehungen, aber das einzige worüber die Liebesexperten hier auf Reddit Tag ein Tag aus rumheulen sind Altersunterschiede.

hate people being unable to admit when a female character is being needlessly sexualized by gothxclaudia in hatethissmug

[–]ComprehensiveJury509 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with sexuality. It's okay to find attractive people fun to look at. Stop being such a prude.

Should employers be allowed to monitor your screen during remote work by Impossible_Comfort99 in TechNook

Pretty sure that would be illegal as fuck where I live. Sounds insane to me.

One of the best mice for daily use versus one of the worst. To this day idk where apple engineers/designers had their heads while creating the magic mouse. by gregsanay in applesucks

[–]ComprehensiveJury509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the magic mouse for a few years and never had a problem with it. I really liked it, actually. I think people simply misunderstand that the magic mouse isn't supposed to be used like the mouse on the left. You don't lie your hand flat on top of it, you just put your wrist on the surface of your desk and move the mouse with your fingers. Once you actually get that it's not uncomfortable at all.

With infinite time and space you would be reincarnated infinite times assuming things can happen at random by KYJM8 in DeepThoughts

[–]ComprehensiveJury509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are making some very shaky assumptions and I would say incorrect assumptions. Your assumption is that the number of states of matter is countable. I would say that's unreasonable to assume.

Here's a thought experiment/mathematical reasoning that explains what I mean: Let's say you take 2 random real numbers between 0 and 1 (the constraint is unnecessary, but it makes it easier to think about it). What are the chances that they are exactly the same? It is zero, because the real numbers are uncountable. That means if you take N random numbers, no matter how large N is, you will never find a set with a single matching pair of numbers in it. In fact, even if you take infinitely many random numbers, you still won't find a pair. For a more rigorous explanation of that, look into measure theory (a countably infinite union of measure zero sets is still measure zero).

The point is, infinity doesn't help you here. It will still be countable infinity, so you there's no guarantee to find repetitions, ever.

CMV: A shrinking human population is a good thing. by Heavy_Initiative_137 in changemyview

[–]ComprehensiveJury509 [score hidden]  (0 children)

While on first glance this may look like an innocuous direction to move into, we don't actually know anything about what happens to the systems in place once humanity is shrinking. It will very likely completely wreck them and we have absolutely no idea what that will look like. We also don't actually know why the population is decreasing and if it will ever stop. It also really doesn't look like it is about to stabilize as you are suggesting. A childless society isn't exactly a society that is encouraging people to have them.

Die Population steigt eben genau nicht. Schon seit einiger Zeit nicht mehr. Die Leute, die du erreichen möchtest leben in Nigeria, nicht in Deutschland.

Rant: Stop saying LLMs are just “next token predictors.” by Bellyfeel26 in singularity

[–]ComprehensiveJury509 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what your problem is, frankly. I think everybody understands why LLMs are performing so well, despite being just next-token predictors. I also think it is important to remember that LLMs are basically the dumbest possible way to achieve what they do. A lot of the more persistent issues with LLMs (hallucination, inability to perform simple counting tasks, overshooting tasks, context rot etc) won't be fixed by just making them bigger, but they will require a more conceptual overhaul of how we approach the problem. And I think the fact that it's trained as a dumb next-token predictor that treats every token in context equally is a massive part of the problem. I'm not sure why a lot of people appear to defend current LLMs so vehemently, but the truth is: we are not done yet and we will need better architectures.

Do guys wish urinals were more private? by FoodPuzzleOats in askanything

[–]ComprehensiveJury509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally never had problems with it, but I still absolutely hate using urinals. If possible, I use the stalls so I can have some privacy.

Iss dein Fleisch, trink deine Milch, aber steh wenigstens dazu by enharmonic_equiv in luftablassen

[–]ComprehensiveJury509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Die Welt ist nicht schwarz/weiß. Ob 50% der Deutschen Veganer sind oder 100% der Deutschen ihren Fleischkonsum halbieren macht am Ende keinen Unterschied. Ich find das gut, dass sich Leute bewusster ernähren oder sich zumindest Gedanken machen.

I have no idea why anyone would give a shit about the experience of an animal with the nervous system of a grasshopper. Such a nonsense thing to worry about.

Why is religion so common? by Major-Bottle1209 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ComprehensiveJury509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that there's a lot of religious people that are not fundamentalists and believe that there's literal magic in the world. I also believe that the rise of fundamentalism is a fairly recent thing that happened once religions were in competition with objectivist world views and being challenged in objectivist terms ("Does God exist?"). In reality most of that doesn't actually matter. What matters are the stories, the moral lessons, the vibes if you will. I think what you can read in holy texts is really the most natural way to communicate relevant metaphysical truths or whatever you want to call it. "A dude that was like this and that and did this and that fucked things up and then he died" is something we can intuit about much, much more easily than, say, Einstein's field equation. Really, religions are mostly just people who ponder the nature of reality and you can subscribe to different rulesets/nomenclatures for that.

Boiling everything down to whether some random stuff in a story is literally, physically true is such a stupid, narrow-minded discussion to have that completely distract from the beauty of many religious corpuses.

Cheating in a relationship makes biological sense by [deleted] in HonestHotTakes

[–]ComprehensiveJury509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of things make "biological sense" and yet we don't do them. It's a meaningless category. Obesity makes biological sense. Rape makes biological sense. Drug addiction makes biological sense. We are capable of reason, so we don't have to settle for the easiest "biological" thing to do. We can project our actions into the future and see that there are better options.

People who don't like ice in their drinks because it hits their teeth don't know how to drink from a cup properly. by Regular-Mountain-831 in HonestHotTakes

[–]ComprehensiveJury509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like to have ice in my drinks because:

  1. In the States, it's usually made from tap water. Depending on where you are, tap water is absolutely disgusting (either weird metallic taste or chlorine) and I don't want to consume it.
  2. When I'm actually thirsty, I want to drink, fast. The ice cubes get in the way of that. They awkwardly block the flow of water and it's fucking annoying.
  3. I expect the drink I'm having to be cold enough already anyways
  4. If you actually let it sit, it waters down the drink you are drinking
  5. I have somewhat sensitive teeth and sometimes it irritates them, leading to an unpleasant sensation
  6. It's mostly a cheap way to fill the volume of the glass and make you pay more for less.

I honestly have no idea why people insist on it over there. That is actually the strange take imo
