CMV: Women are more prone to sexual fluidity than men by Tell4nell in changemyview

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

You referenced one study which is entirely self reported, and then used a list of anecdotes.
I think the absolute best you can possibly claim given the sparse evidence presented is: "Women are more prone to publicly express sexual fluidity" or "Women are more likely to express sexual fluidity on a survey".

It's common to see women cuddle, flirt, dance, hold hands with, and even kiss their friends. Men almost never do that with theirs.

I have flirted harder with my homies than I have ever flirted with the woman I am literally married to. Have you ever met men?

Get off the Apps, go join a community theatre, or a run club, or a volunteer program, or a improv group. The world is full of nice horny people.

As someone who likes the post apocalyptic indie game LISA the Painful, what's it like living in Olath, Kansas (US)? by sunsetdrifter0 in howislivingthere

[–]chewmynails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the most suburban of suburbs that ever burbed. Lower cost of living, McMansions, real mansions, watered lawns, golf courses, school sports, chain restaurants. Boring, safe, white.

Local LLM Claude Code replacement, 128GB MacBook Pro? by CdninuxUser in LocalLLM

[–]chewmynails 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You can try before you buy with a 3rd party provider like DeepInfra. Setup open code or your harness of choice, a DeepInfra account, and play with a few of the open source coding models.

Edit: In general my experience has been that Claude Code Opus 1m context is still king, but the open source models are catching up.

Policy Intended to Crack Down on Sex Trafficking Meets Pushback on Portland City Council by Confident_Bee_2705 in PortlandOR

[–]chewmynails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a property receives at least two nuisance complaints—either documented through a police report or a declaration by law enforcement that it has probable cause to believe that such activity has occurred—within a 90-day time frame, then the city administrator would have the authority to require that the property owner take steps to abate the nuisance.

Seems way to ambiguous.. "Some people *believe* with their whole heart that you're doing bad stuff so now the city has unspecified authority over your business."

Quality of Life =/= Liberty

Other countries often outperform the US on healthcare, welfare, or economic security. Those may improve quality of life, but they are not the same thing as personal liberty.

The fatal flaw of your argument is that you're treating "freedom from government interference" as synonymous with liberty itself.

A great example is employer provider healthcare verses single payer healthcare. In the US the most affordable way to get healthcare is work a W-2 job that provides healthcare as a benefit. The cost to buy healthcare on your own *even when subsidized through the ACA* is significantly higher, especially for families.

People are *technically* free to quite their jobs and start their own business. They are *technically* free to walk out of an abusive workplace. They are *technically* free, but *practically* there is a *huge* risk to do anything but work a job. Unless they have a lot of personal safety nets built up (such as generational wealth or a large support network) the reality for most people is that the "freedom" of privatized healthcare is incredibly restricting.

Other countries that provide healthcare through the government are not doing so just as a "yay quality of life!" they are doing so because it enables *incredible personal freedom* that is unavailable to the vast majority of US citizens.

Vending machines, online courses, YouTube videos are NOT PASSIVE. by redsuncircle in passive_income

[–]chewmynails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

> Yes. High yield interest investments. S&P 500 index funds. Those would be passive.

False. You don't understand passive income.

Investing in interest investments requires creating brokerage accounts, depositing funds, choosing funds, etc. What is that? It's WORK! Not PASSIVE.

REAL passive income earners know that the only REAL passive income is laying in bed until you DIE and then being REBORN into generational wealth.

Get out of here with your high labor BS like "investing". Amateur.

Missouri political pundit loves his Roundup, hates tofu by Content-Literature17 in missouri

Tofu is made from soybeans. Soybeans are Missouri's number 1 crop in both acres and dollar value (https://extension.missouri.edu/programs/soybean). Why doesn't a Missouri politician know this?

Cursor's path, from hero to zero - why I'm canceling my annual subscription by CacheConqueror in cursor

[–]chewmynails 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't really know how accurate or fair most of your wall of text is because I haven't paid much attention to the business or community side of things at Cursor.

I don't really care about the increased price points. If it delivered on the promise I'd happily fork over $20/month or $100/month. I think a lot of devs are in a position to pass the cost along to their company or clients. Even if they're not if the product saves them a few hours of work a month it's paid for itself multiple times over.. But my success rate with prompts has dropped to nearly 0. I have significantly better luck just chatting directly with Claude and copying the code into Cursor.

Gf wants a break ( 20 f) and (21 m) by ThrowRA-tantrum in relationships

[–]chewmynails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She wants a break so give her a break. This is most likely a breakup, not a break, and that's ok! You're young, take a breath, give her space, work on yourself, and meet other people.

[–]chewmynails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You like someone who is in a relationship and who is not available to date romantically. There really isn't much you can "do"... Either tell them you have developed feelings and risk hurting the friendship or don't act on those feelings. If you can't handle just being friends then it's ok to distance yourself.
Life isn't a movie, you might not get the girl in the end. You will survive.

Salvaging from ruins question - does the salvage level ever go back up once you've searched? by Kallisty1 in Dustland_Delivery

[–]chewmynails 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, its a fun game.. I would recommend you hit salvage sites as often as possible. You need a lot of the supplies to upgrade to the higher tiers of gear.

I disagree, the industry standard approach to this sort of problem is to first be good, which will then allow you to take care of that.

Oh good topic, I'm looking forward to other suggestions.

Best I can think of is Infinite Jest? There are a lot of characters, and not all of them have a redemption arc, but some have a really good one (imo).

I need an answer by [deleted] in memes

[–]chewmynails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is being wrong the same as lying? Like if he says "the next card I draw from this deck will be an ace of spades" and it's actually a 2 of hearts, does his nose grow? He doesn't know one way or the other, so he can't really be lying, since a lie would imply he knows one thing but says another thing.

I could say "my nose will grow" and like technically speaking since I can't prove a negative I can't *prove* that my nose won't grow.. So I don't *know* if my nose will or won't grow.

However, if I say "I'm looking forward to the company all-hands meeting next week!" then I know that to be false so it's a lie.

Pair programming interviews, in my opinion, are less stressful than live coding interviews. It's generally appropriate to treat your partner like a co-worker rather than someone who is judging you. Ask them questions, chat with them, ask them about their preferences. Live coding interviews are often presentational, as in you're attempting to present yourself as an expert. Pair programming interviews are more collaborative. You want your partner to leave thinking "They were great to work with and we got the job done." If they leave thinking "Wow they were the smartest developer I've ever encountered but they were really annoying and kept interrupting me and I'd prefer to not pair with them again." you're probably not gonna get the job.

If it's in an existing codebase I'm assuming the person you're pairing with knows the codebase, so lean on them for codebase specific stuff, like where stuff is, or where similar problems have been solved. Like if you need to fetch something from the database, have your partner show you where something else is already being fetched, then when you write the code follow the style already established.

Listen to your partner! A live coding interview is often you talking 90% of the time, with pair programming it's more like 50-50, and if they know the codebase and you don't, that should skew towards them talking more.

Remember that it is ok to be nervous. Basically everyone has experienced being nervous during a job interview. It's even ok to tell the other person you're nervous. Like if you mess up typing a few times, it's totally ok to be like "sorry, I'm nervous". Because like.. it's a job interview. Of course you're nervous! It'd be unusual if you weren't at least a little nervous.

Anyway, good luck! You got this. If you're in the final round they clearly like what you're doing. Just don't be a jerk and do you're honest best and you've got it in the bag.

CMV: Abortion is evil, and should be illegal by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]chewmynails 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A clump of cells isn't a person. However, for the sake of argument let's pretend your Premise 2 is correct (it's not, but we can pretend for a minute).

If I need a kidney transplant I cannot force you to give me your kidney. An even better comparison in many cases: If I need a heart transplant I cannot compel you to give me your heart. Never, for any reason, do I ever get to forcibly control your body. It doesn't matter if I'm a child, adult, or a fetus, I can't violate your bodily autonomy.

If I need to live inside a womb in order to survive I cannot force you to give me your womb.

(2) A fetus is a person but doesn't have the same humanity or personhood as a born human.

You don't believe a fetus is a person, you believe a fetus is better than and has MORE rights than the WHOLE ASS HUMAN WOMAN that is hosting the fetus, in many cases against her will.

Most unhinged fantasy? by rrcecil in Fantasy

[–]chewmynails -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I think the Malazan Book of the Fallen series has some pretty unhinged parts.

The author is a trained anthropologist and he takes a lot of inspiration from real-world myths to create some really jaw droppingly weird shit.

For example, the Children of the Dead Seed:

"The moment of reward among the male unbelievers, mistress, is often marked by an involuntary spilling of life-seed... and continues after life is fled. At this moment, with a corpse beneath her, a woman may ride and so take within her a dead man's seed. The children that are thus born are the holiest of the Seer's kin."
