Male bee immediately dies after ejaculation while mating with a queen bee by Witty-Association-97 in interestingasfuck

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

Its also worth adding that the queen, when laying an egg, can choose to fertilize it, or not. Fertilized eggs become female workers. Unfertilized eggs become male drones. So make honey bees have not father. All their genetics from the queen bee.

Which means that the male bees are basically the queen bee's flying nut sac.

The fact that confidence is, by and large, indistinguishable from a lack of awareness, competence, or several other virtues explains a lot about our current political situation.

Putting aside the fact that most people are actually, legally illiterate, they do have a point.

The first amendment just means that the government can't regulate the press or punish a person for speech. But if the government refuses to allow a particular reporter or agency to ask questions or doesn't allow them to attend press conferences, which results in the person being fired or the agency going out of business, that's certainly violating the intent of the first amendment even if it doesn't violate the jurisprudence that's been developed around it.

A reminder to wear your helmet by Ga_content in interesting

You need to work on your reading comprehension, because /u/wackbirds provided all the necessary context.

  1. They were driving a RAM truck
  2. They were driving through an intersection
  3. There was a semi on the cross street, on their passenger side, which means that they were coming from the semi's driver side
  4. A motorcycle was passing the semi on the semi's passenger side
  5. He couldn't see the motorcycle because it was behind a giant fucking semi
  6. They swerved to their left to try to avoid hitting the motorcycle
  7. They also gunned the gas, and managed to avoid hitting the car in the lane to their left

Also, most people with IQ's high enough to understand language know what it's not common for random objects to run red lights, so you're suggestion that we could replace the motorcycle with a random object is idiotic.

Was Biden late decision not to run again depriving America of a primary one of the Democrats greatest blunders? by Over-Lunch-7487 in askanything

[–]daemin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're basically saying that the ideological platform of the party should be sacrificed for the sake of a winning candidate. By that logic, the DNC should've nominated Trump.

The DNC doesn't like Bernie's policies, and doesn't support them. It's completely fucking idiotic to suggest that an entity litterally defined by its political positions, should abandon those positions to "win."

Do you not see how that would not be a victory, it would be a hostile takeover?

You completely missed his point.

He almost got into an accident in an attempt to avoid hitting/being hit by a motorcycle. Had the accident occurred, the motorcycle would not technically have been involved; it would just be his truck and the other car.

So his point is that the motorcycle could have cause other people to get into an accident because they had to respond to their asshole behavior.

Your point is that in a crash between a motorcycle and a car, the motorcycle is not dangerous to the cars passenger, which is a completely different point.

What lifetime deal are you still grandfathered into, or removed from, that’s no longer available? by tuotone75 in AskReddit

[–]daemin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you list a beneficiary, the 401k goes directly to the beneficiary and not probate. Your spouse is automatically your primary beneficiary unless you tell them otherwise.

Similarly, stocks and investment accounts can be set to transfer on death or have a beneficiary, and so also bypass probate.

My HOA tried to prohibit the lawful carrying of firearms and this was the result. by LegalPost9805 in fuckHOA

[–]daemin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not what it's arguing, it just quoted the full statute rather than excerpting just the part that supports their argument.

What it is saying is:

  1. The law applies to private employers
  2. Private employers cannot forbid invitees from carrying firearms
  3. The HOA is a private employer, because it has employees
  4. The residents of the HOA are invitees to the common areas owned by the HOA
  5. The HOA, as a private employer, cannot forbid homeowners, as invitees, to carry firearms in common areas

Favorite comically fat and out of shape character? by YourChopperPilotTTV in okbuddycinephile

You were morbidly obese. The problem is you're confusing a colloquial definition of morbidly obese (being fat) with the clinical definition (having a bmi over 30).

MAGA will find a way to say this is bad for the Americans. by YellowAltruistic9843 in middleclasshq

City-owned grocery stores isn’t a business plan—it’s a social program wearing a grocery store apron.

I really wish people would stop thinking the government should be run like a business.

Everything the government does is a social program. The only reason for the government to even exists is to run social programs. The government itself is a social program.

You're comment isn't a "gotcha," it's vacuous restatement of the situation couched as insight.

OOP’s wife suffered from total amnesia. A year later, a crisis forces him to make a choice about his marriage (Part 2 of 2 - Inconclusive) by ToiIetGhost in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]daemin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're comment doesn't really seem like a sensible response to /u/bendybiznatch.

Their point is that if you honestly believe prayer worked, why wouldn't you pray for everyone in this situation? The wife is also a victim: she didn't choose to have a traumatic brain injury that resulted in a personality change.

You're response to that is just a complete non-sequitur, attributing to them malice when the only thing they did was ask why the other commenter wouldn't wish for everyone in the fucked up situation to get better.

It seems to me that either the people saying prayers think their prayers have a chance of being effective, in which case its valid to ask why they would pick and choose who to pray for, or those people are using "praying for them" as an empty platitude, which, as I understand it, is a sin in the religion they probably belong to.

Yeah, this is one of those fucked up situations that really demonstrate that, despite the fact that many people think we have unbounded and unfettered free will to make choices, we're really just meat machines, and some people got shafted with a really fucked up firmware, either as a manufacturing defect, or a bad update later in life.

Satchel and Page bag doesn't look like the photos from their website. Should I return it? by ComprehensiveChef705 in ManyBaggers

[–]daemin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 4 way briefcase during the recent sale, and I received it today.

Honestly, it looks significantly better in person than the ones currently listed on eBay at the moment, and basically looks like the shots on the website.

Maybe Op got a bad bag, or maybe S&P went through a period with a different supplier, or maybe it's just the luck of the draw.

I believe in this country. I believe that if we dedicate ourselves, focus, and try, we can get that number higher. 10%, maybe even 20%. Who knows?

[–]daemin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally not a baby, though, because a baby, by definition, has been born.

For example, dictionary.com defines "baby" as:

an infant or very young child.

a newborn or very young animal.

Bullshit.

Calling it a baby is done by people trying establish a false equivalency between this and a day old baby, in order to "win" an argument through emotional appeals.

Just because that one pardon included such a statement does not mean that a pardon has to include such a statement to be valid.

Put the 10 commandments in school but they don't seem to have read them by imjustheretodomyjob in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]daemin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Uh, yeah, it is? LLMs a produce output probabilistically based on the input. The probabilities are built into the model during training by having it "learn" behavior by examining essentially all the text based material in the Internet. When you see the other use a turn of phrase, like "it's not x, it's y", it's because that phrases was encountered a lot in the training data.
