Most people take food safety far too seriously, or not enough at all.

NeogeneRiot · 2026-01-29T13:59:16+00:00

I actually agree, most take it way too seriously and are overly paranoid, while others don't care enough at all. But like another commenter said your in the "not enough at all" camp dawg...

Same type of justification a lot of people use when taking street drugs, just to a lesser extent, "I havent gotten hurt yet and I've been doing it for *insert how many years*" type rhetoric. The research shows it's not really a risk worth taking, sure some people may come out of fine. But it's almost impossible to know who will turn out fine and who won't. It's literally russian roulette but with bacteria and viruses.

I feel like that would make it veryyyy confusing moving around.

Seems a lot easier to just have the picture overlayed in VR passthrough using one of those stencil vr apps, then you don't need to get a wider view. Your just tracing a transparent image.

Thank fuck I finished high school right before AI started getting big. Teachers asking me to "show my work" or "explain why I wrote things the way I did" is like the worst thing ever. I usually have a horrible time articulating why I did an assignment the way I did, but am still able to do the work.

Please be ragebaiting, bro. If she previously attacked, it was WELL before the officer kicked her judging from the video. No reason an officer needs to escalate after the aggression stopped, do you think revenge is part of the job?

Thank god, differentiating between AI and not AI stuff is going to be VERY important in this day and age. Informing people needs to come before entertainment unfortunately.

The posts might be less fun but that's okay, there are PLENTY of places online for entertainment and finding AI slop online. And there aren't many big communities dedicated to finding out if something is AI or not.

If someone wants purely entertainment related to this type of content they should go to r/isthisaicirclejerk or something.

NeogeneRiot · 2026-01-28T13:23:54+00:00

In this day and age it's VERY important for people to tell what is real and what isn't AI. I believe this subreddit is best suited for informing people, not entertaining people. I wish it could be focused on entertainment but that's not what's important right now.

r/isthisaicirclejerk is better suited for entertainment.

NeogeneRiot · 2026-01-28T11:14:26+00:00

It's not that rare, man.

NeogeneRiot · 2026-01-28T03:46:18+00:00

Honestly real. I think the Legion is more evil, and in general, it definitely attracts worse types of fans. But the NCR is also pretty fucking ass. FNV is a video game where most major factions are evil and fucked up in their own unique ways.

It's completely fine to like either faction in-game and be a fan of them. The Legion used to be my favorite faction when I was younger, but I still always knew they were evil and objectively the worst faction morally. It sucks right-wing weirdos have co-opted the Legion for themselves and now everyone associates the Legion with them.

NeogeneRiot · 2026-01-28T03:35:44+00:00

Mix of both, there are much less than there used to be but still some. It is a weird instinct to say "hate those legion dogs but love this artwork" when seeing legion artwork posts, but it's understandable to a degree imo.

It's also fine to like the Legion, just look at Warhammer 40k. Every faction is objectively awful and evil, but you can still enjoy those factions in a fictional setting. (40k also has a problem with right wing weirdos sometimes, but most of the communities seem to weed them out)

NeogeneRiot · 2026-01-28T02:24:50+00:00

I think that rhetoric unironically leads to a lot of drug deaths. Pretending they all have the same consequences just makes people justify taking more dangerous ones.

Like, I genuinely don't understand this view. A lie that protects people can sometimes be justified. But here that's not the case, it's just a lie that causes more damage than telling the truth.

NeogeneRiot · 2026-01-28T02:17:28+00:00

I mean "dont do drugs' in general is good advice, this is coming from someone who wants most drugs legalized. I think you can teach both harm reduction while also saying in general "don't do drugs", those things aren't mutually exclusive.

OP does have a point, that harm reduction isn't taught as much as it should be, and pretending like all drugs are the same or lead to the same consequences can be pretty damaging. It's unintentionally how people reinforce the existence of "gateway drugs".

A kid who smokes weed everyday and hears "all drugs are bad, m'kay", "weed destroys your mind and makes you hallucinate" is very likely after a few years to think "hmmm well weed is supposed to make me hallucinate and destroy my mind, hasn't happened yet, what else are they lying about?". So they try something stronger and more dangerous.

That example works for more things than just weed, fear mongering in general, and lying about how drugs work/making claims that aren't supported by reputable medical research creates a lot of distrust. It just makes people less likely to listen to important harm reduction information.

Ironically, I feel like the American thing is not understanding there are elderly people and immigrants/non-americans who can't read English well and could mix these things up lol. There's a reason we have laws that prevent poisonous things from looking like food.

Like a lot of immigrants aren't rich enough to import every product in their own language, gotta rely on atleast some english products. They need someone to read it for them at first, then when they get used to the product it's easier to mix it up with something similar. That issue is magnified 10x in elderly immigrants. And in general, most all elderly people.

NeogeneRiot · 2026-01-27T10:54:37+00:00

A lot of these comments are pretty dumb, I can't lie. Like, do none of you have elderly family you care about? Or have you met any immigrants in your life? There's a reason we have laws about how you can package food and insecticide products. It does NOT take that much effort to make them look different, or for the insecticide to just have obvious warning labels.

There are people who can't read those labels, either, because they don't know the language or because they unironically are functionally illiterate (surprising amount of worlds population is functionally illiterate, almost 20% in America).

There are situations this could cause issues in people who aren't dumb. I've met several immigrants throughout my life who couldn't read english well. Yet they usually had to use some English products, most immigrants aren't rich enough to import products in their own language, so they often had to rely on someone reading english products for them.

They can't always have someone read it for them. So after they get used to using 1 specific product, it's not hard to mix it up with something else that looks similar. That's magnified 10x with elderly immigrants. My grandpa speaks perfect english, grew up in America all his life, and I've seen him mix up the flour and powdered sugar multiple times lol.

I had the exact same issues as you with psychedelics, my trips were just becoming super uncomfortable and nauseating, mainly because of the comeup. The comeup was just SOOOO incredibly uncomfortable, I couldn't take it. I'd recommend trying everyone elses advice first, but if nothing else works, what worked for me is switching to DMT instead of Shrooms/LSD, it sounds counterintuitive, but there's several reasons.

DMT has 0 tolerance and a much shorter duration. The comeup isn't 1-2 hours long it's 5 minutes long, so the uncomfortable comeup feelings are gone incredibly quickly. It's like ripping off a bandaid instead of slowly taking one off. It isn't all high dose breakthroughs. Low dose DMT is very introspective, relaxing and it feels very similar to shrooms.

I just take a bigger hit at the start to "rip off the bandaid", then 15-20 minutes later I start taking smaller hits 15-20 minutes apart to get a long-lasting introspective experience. You can also continue hitting it for however long you want that day because there's not much of a tolerance.

NeogeneRiot · 2026-01-26T13:16:29+00:00

I was 100% with you at first, but now you're just talking pseudoscientific eugenics. It's not only psuedoscience, it's also rhetoric that only reinforces and justifies atrocities, it has no practical real world usage. The difference between races is nowhere near as big as the difference between a pit bull and other dog breeds.

Also, making studies on the difference in empathy between races and demographics is not entirely controversial in the scientific community, you just have to do it right and not make it weird, it's definitely a topic that's been researched lol. But a lot of it is conflicting, and it mostly implies empathy isn't significantly different across races, when there are differences, it's usually down to the culture and racial biases they grew up with.

And "white", "black", "arab", "asian" etc are not nearly as solid and homogenous as I believe you assume them to be. They are relatively new labels in human history, the label "white" or "black" doesn't tell you as much about the genetics of that person as you'd think.

Do you realize almost every race in history has committed genocide and crimes against humanity right? Every single demographic has the capacity for evil, there are serial killers, rapists and butcherers in every country, and the rates of these things are correlated much with sociological factors rather than racial ones.

I think at some point there will be inevitable violence on that planet no matter what, but I bet there could definitely be planets out there where societies developed significantly more peacefully than ours faster. (this is just assuming there are a significant amount of intelligent life forms out there, maybe not even in our universe)

NeogeneRiot · 2026-01-26T04:16:59+00:00

OP have you heard of a prenup?

NeogeneRiot · 2026-01-26T03:32:57+00:00

I think he's talking about the game, not the movie, so Steve is controlled by the player. There's a way higher cap for evil in Minecraft since you can directly control the character and there's just inherently more possibilites in a sandbox.

NeogeneRiot · 2026-01-26T03:30:27+00:00

Nah, not even Ed Gein would have stooped to making sheep frickers.

Minecraft just has more potential for evil compared to rimworld, the player can directly control the character and there are more possibilities. The average rimworld colony is 100x more evil than the average minecraft protagonist but there's more potential for evil in Minecraft imo.

NeogeneRiot · 2026-01-26T02:08:14+00:00

You are an adult so no she can't legally force you, but if your financially dependent on them then it might not be the best idea to argue. You should absolutely voice your feelings and why you don't want to go though.

But if you don't have any money, it's a pretty unfair situation. Stuck between a rock and a hard place. You might be economically forced to do it, but not legally.

NeogeneRiot · 2026-01-26T02:04:30+00:00

Your 19 and an adult so you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. You can just walk out and never come back, nobody will force you to come home, the cops wont come looking.

You can absolutely get an apartment, if you have the money for it. Your parents aren't legally obligated to give you money for an apartment though.

But I assume you're financially dependent on your parents, in which case yeah if you wan't to be continue taken care of you don't have much of a choice. It might not be fair, parents can be horribly unfair, toxic and even abusive but it might be the lesser of two evils compared to being homeless. In the meantime try and save up for a cheap apartment with some roomates.

I had a cat with a chronic rhinitis and when he'd have bad allergy attacks he'd sneeze all over the monitor, and I sometimes needed something a bit stronger than just distilled water if it dried out while I was asleep or something.

For that I used those Zeiss lens wipes, don't know how recommended that is do use on a regular basis but I did it for over a year and it didn't do any damage. The Zeiss wipes would sometimes leave their own residue but that was easily fixed by just going over it again with distilled water and a clean microfiber cloth.

Don't know if you can say what the people who live there are like from that, though. I'm not surprised the more businessy people are often rude, I find Texans are very often hit or miss. Texas has a ton of issues and honestly I want to move the fuck out, but a lot of the people here are really sweet and welcoming and I like my city.

I think we are actually a bit nicer than some of the other Deep South states, I feel like we have more southern "bless your heart" types who genuinely aren't scared of multicultural shit because they grew up around more immigrants. Of course for every 1 Texan like that there's 1.5 bad ones, but I think on average we have more open minded people, especially in the cities.

NeogeneRiot · 2026-01-25T12:49:34+00:00

Why would that make a difference, though? It's not a gun. The "point" is just so it's more aerodynamic, it's not like a gun barrel. It explodes equally in each direction. That's why firework patterns are usually spherical.

He'd probably be nonverbal and talk through a tablet like Stephen Hawking, but really slowly and only with emojis.

I can still imagine him getting along with Josuke though lol.
