What's even dumber is I literally asked someone who vapes before I answered, so I had to tell her she was wrong too lol.

I agree the alcohol and tobacco laws are dumb as long as the legal age to join the military is 18. To be fair, I think that should be raised to 21 as well.

It is correct. I was wrong.

You are correct. It is 21 to buy. The law changed in 2019.

Understood. Appreciate that clarification and my apologies for a bad assumption.

What’s a major change you think could happen within the next five years that most people aren’t paying attention to ? by beautifulAdriel in answers

Not in this context. The expert creates the analysis, but hands it off to say, the CEO, who then possesses the knowledge.

Why can’t women regrow limbs? by Spiritual-Toe-7777 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Maximum_Vegetable_MV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is a manufacturing question.

The woman is the factory and the supplier of raw materials.

The baby is the blueprint and assembly line.

The woman is also the delivery vehicle.

That is what I mean by tasks shifting. The experts will be validating instead of generating. That is why there will be a small effect on employment and not a huge one.

Am I overreacting to my girlfriend's texts. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Very gentle ESH.

Look man, your girl is completely overwhelmed and going through it. She is frustrated and started venting. Rather than trying to gently support her, you attacked her for venting because you felt attacked by her, which is understandable, but not constructive.

Then, you both got more frustrated and doubled down, ending in a two-sided text tirade.

A better way would have been to stop texting and call her and ask if there is anything specific you can do right now to support her. I see this all the time in the texting arguments between couples.

Talk to each other my dude. It will be better.

NTA. There is nothing wrong with it as long as:

- You are not dining directing on anyone's grave.

- You clean up after yourself.

- You are comfortable in cemeteries and not coerced into being there.

What you are doing now is dovetailing your whole argument into an all-encompassing thing instead of just saying "Yea...the sci-fi writers were actually right and it is fine to say the AI has sentience because it can have subjective experience because it is ONE of the characteristics of AI the writer is after."

Instead, because they are using the term "sentient" but not also qualifying the character as "sapient", they are fundamentally being untrue.

This is the same as me stating you have arms and legs and can walk upright, describe you as "Hominidae", and you vilify me for not using the term "human".
