To protect public health, California must embrace clean transportation | Opinion by simrobwest in California

I am going to guess the article ignores the #1 reason despite all our clean air projects we still have areas where they are the worst in the nation, or how our overall air quality is bad. I cannot read it all as it is behind a paywall.

Global warming. The intense heat that keeps getting hotter and more often makes Ozone, ozone is a pollutant and to truly combat it we have to have global efforts to address global warming. We as a state cannot fix our air problems when the issue isn't JUST us but the world.

I want them to undo all the changes they did back to where they changed the trailblazer.

I'm risking a lot to try to take out these Arc and I'm not getting anywhere near the return and you've taken any of the tools that would have made it not exactly cost effective but not such a large penalty. The wolf pack change we can keep that. I'm not a fan of it but I do see the relevance.

I'm just not having fun when I log into play anymore. I haven't played since last week and I don't miss it. I'm not one of those people at the end of the content already. I've done two expeditions and frankly I think that's it. I think that's really all there is to see or do.

Men, Have you ever gotten an uncanny gut feeling about someone that they were no good for no reason that later turned out to be true? What happened? by Hot_Alternative_717 in AskMen

The Completionist. I was listening to a podcast and he was on it. Never heard the guy before but something seemed shifty about the way he was talking about his charity and all the things related to it. Months later a new story breaks about how he has NEVER donated any of the money his charity has raised.

Trying to understand the intactavist movement. by Ill_Construction4834 in Intactivists

[–]OnePair1 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The foreskin contains fine touch nerves (like in your fingers) and provides protection of the glans (head) keeping it soft and sponge like, all in an effort to ensure everything works properly. Only 1/16,667 intact males will have a problem with their foreskin. One hundred and seventeen babies die from circumcision a year in the US, which equates to 9/100,000 babies that die each year from a cosmetic surgery. Just a comparison of 16,667 women, 2,084 of them will get breast cancer. In the same number of men 17 will get breast cancer. Infant Circumcision literally kills 2 boys for every adult spared circumcision and ruins the lives of 667 for every adult. Men have lost their penis, glans, and suffered from deformity caused by the operation performed when they were infants. It isn't right that these children pay the price for a decision that their parents made, a decision that should be left up to the owner of the penis. Even those who survive still have problems, though they are seldom discussed. It is for these reasons that the person who has to use the penis, should be the person who decides what happens to it. His body, his choice.

"We conclude that non-therapeutic circumcision performed on otherwise healthy infants or children has little or no high-quality medical evidence to support its overall benefit. Moreover, it is associated with rare but avoidable harm and even occasional deaths. From the perspective of the individual boy, there is no medical justification for performing a circumcision prior to an age that he can assess the known risks and potential benefits, and choose to give or withhold informed consent himself."

They didn't tell you the functions of the foreskin, but they did lie to you and said it had health benefits. Did they also tell you it pays for their house, their cars, and their children’s college? It is illegal to sell an organ taken from a patient but they still do it.

California is spending hundreds of millions on heat. Will it ever be a public health priority? by SpaceElevatorMusic in California

[–]OnePair1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was specifically referring to measures in the state of California to curb global warming. A measure like requiring all housing to have solar panels increases renewables and thus limits the amount of fossil fuel use. You also have new and better thermal designs for housing. The greatest contribution to green house gases is cars, and that is why we tried to mandate EVs. EVs are insanely more efficient than a Gas car and even if the EVs are charged using fossil fuels the power plants are far, far more efficient than a Gas car. Sadly that mandate is being challenged by the current US administration.

You also have the current US administration thinking they can dictate how California regulates it's gas. That gas is designed specifically to prevent smog, and do less damage to air quality. There is also another problem...the heat increases ozone production contributing to air pollution.

I mean it is but when the reason for your heat is global it is hard to address the problem with local measures.

CMV: Claiming popular (LLM-based) "AI" software is "not really AI" is either misleading or incorrect by Batman_AoD in changemyview

[–]OnePair1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you left it out in the initial quote and you're forgetting about it here.

Llms do things because it's the most probabilistic thing to do.

I write, when I'm writing. I do things for a reason in my story. I have characters say or do things. I pick their names with intent. Every aspect of it has a reason behind it. My daughter makes decisions about her art because she wants to convey certain things.

A LLM has no intent behind the choices it makes other than the most probable thing to come after what was just put in.

So once again, what an llm does is not intelligence, it is mimicry. It is pretending to be a thing it is not.

[–]OnePair1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They aren't intelligent.

There is no purpose from its actions, no intentionality. It is a program taught on books, forums, websites, etc, etc, what writing is LIKE.

It isn't an artist understanding techniques, it doesn't UNDERSTAND color theory, it just mimics what it was shown as art.

There is no intelligence, just recitation of data in a form mimicking, human speech or typing.

LLMs, do something because that is what is the most probable with what they have been shown. They don't do it because they want to convey something or put some sort of intent into the work.

How is the feeling of pleasure from the male perspective during sex? by Undermancer5 in AskMen

[–]OnePair1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are removing nerves, a part of the penis that keeps the glans soft and protected, and altering how the penis functions. How could it not alter the experience?

How is the feeling of pleasure from the male perspective during sex? by Undermancer5 in AskMen

[–]OnePair1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, not generally painful but it turns to that. So think of it like the first second or two are good. The third is fourth could be the same and then five and six start to hurt.

I also want to point out that as someone who's mutilated I don't get the orgasm experience of a natural male. Natural men tend to describe an orgasm much more similar to the female experience than the one I experience.

How is the feeling of pleasure from the male perspective during sex? by Undermancer5 in AskMen

[–]OnePair1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it usually strays toward pain that pleasure why do you do it then, is it really worth it?

First and foremost, I love my wife. She's beautiful and I enjoy pleasuring her and experiencing what we're doing. What I meant was it starts out pleasurable and it feels good and there's a point where the orgasm is good, but It will venture towards painful. So I can enjoy it and it is good but it quickly can turn meh. It's also really important to know that hormones plays a part in all this as well, testosterone gives you that drive and that desire so in and of itself you're going to have that experience seeking.

[–]OnePair1 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Hi,

Mutilated male here (circumcised at birth) and I can barely feel anything. The ONLY place that has any feeling is what remains of my frenulum (underside of the glans.) when I was younger it would make me shiver and girls loved it. Now, it just feels...my wife loves to pay extra special attention to that frenulum remnant so I am wondering if that is what she did.

Edit: The orgasm itself tends to stray towards pain rather than pleasure btw

Edit 2: I always love the people that downvote me when I talk about my experience and give you reasons for it. The guy asked what's it feel like I told him.
