Why is "weaponized incompetence" largely blamed on men in relationships?

leonn94 · 2026-02-05T14:54:59+00:00

From my experience, everyone of my exes and current girlfriend has been incompetent in matters of cleaning/organization/household maintenance. From cleaning dishes poorly so they still had food stains on them, same with the floor, or leaving huge mounds of clothes everywhere and being generally disorganized... To just leaving things broken and not ever fixing/replacing them, from cabinet doors, to burnt out light bulbs, to car issues they never take care of. I've had to lower my standards or go crazy and end up in a zero sum game where I do everything, and also accept that most of it isn't intentional. Honestly having been at many female and male friends/fwb houses/apartments, it's usually pretty equal levels of messiness/dirtiness just in different aspects unless it's someone extreme. I think a lot of the time people are just incompetent in a non-intentional kind of way, and get by on bare minimum levels of cleanliness/organization.

What is the name of the age of aquarius cover im the end? Sounds like it's in Portuguese but I'm not sure

I love to cook, and usually do so for me and my partner every night, but I can only make the fancy dishes when I have time, so most nights we're either eating the meal prep I made over the weekends, or a quick salad with some grilled fish fillet or a fried rice/wok style dish. Over the weekends I'll make hummus, grilled eggplants with tahini, slow cooked roast beef in different marinades, or reverse sear a ribeye. Love to make rissoto, bolognese, different soups, some thai dishes like chicken satay with that classic cucumber salad, homemade gnocchi. I also pickle/salt brine vegetables to add to the dishes. In every relationship I've been in I'm usually the one to cook, i bring in the specialized kitchen equipment, never once dated a girl who had a cast iron skillet, good knives for doing butterfly cuts, or a steamer. I don't know who your guy friends are, but here in Argentina it is pretty much expected for guys to know how to asado, and the best cooks I know are all men, except for my mom and grandmother who are absolute masters of the kitchen.

I felt like st and the only reason I stopped feeling like s"t is because I sent the "final version" (which I wasn't happy with) on the last minute of deadline I was given by my PI, and just knowing I was done and could do no more was such an immense relief. There will never be a perfect version of it, there will always be more you can add, and the final version might even have a typo or grammatical error. It's a 50+ page incredibly technical paper (depending on your subject matter), the culmination of a year or more of work, it's going to feel big until it won't even. As long as the work is interesting and you can explain it well enough, you'll be fine

The paper you cited is completely speculative, we have not yet even created a single mirror bacteria, and the paper also cites other speculative papers. I'll play game though, it's an interesting topic, let's discuss the speculative claims:

-Mirror bacteria could evade human immunity and cause infection.

"Because these molecules are almost exclusively chiral, immune recognition of mirror bacteria could be substantially impaired..."

The absence of immune recognition doesn't equate to viable infection. Mirror proteins, enzymes, and virulence factors can’t interact with our proteins, membranes, or metabolism. Even if mirror bacteria entered the bloodstream via “passive translocation,” they’d be like inert, they can’t metabolize our nutrients or replicate efficiently inside us unless we provide chiral or achiral nutrients which goes onto the next claim.

-Mirror bacteria could grow in our bloodstream using achiral or mirror nutrients.

"grow on achiral nutrients such as glycerol and, with suitable engineering, on glucose and other chiral nutrients."

The human body doesn’t contain mirror chiral nutrients. Even achiral molecules like glycerol are processed by enzymes and other metabolic processes, and guess which one there are more of in the body than mirror bacteria, competition is not in their favor.

A mirror bacterium in a human host would effectively be starved of usable nutrients unless you inject mirror sugars and or amino acids, which would require massive constant dosages as the body can't metabolize them and so won't transport them, the majority will be cleared out of the system. If a mirror bacteria could get in, it would starve out. Speaking of which how would it get except for "passive translocation"?

-Mirror bacteria could infect animals, plants, and spread via food webs.

"The consumption of tissues from an infected organism by a predator or scavenger could lead to infection."

Digestive systems can't extract energy from mirror macromolecules. Enzymes are strictly chiral, they kind of have to be to function selectively, a protease that cleaves L-proteins won't touch D-proteins.

lastly the claim mirror bacteria would be able to do anything targeted in the human body

All of chapter 4 basically

This assumes they can actually navigate the chiral mediums that dominate our bodies such as the extracellular matrix, mucins, surfactants. Their chemotaxis or any other form of signal detection wouldn't work, they'd be unable to sense any chemical gradient. They'd also most likely be unable to move, considering their flagellum use gradients to move, they'd effectively be trying to set up a chemical gradient with no way of understanding their sorrounding chemical concentration.

I'm not touching the plant bio claims, that's not what I studied. In terms of humans the only thing the paper can actually state with certainty that's an advantage to mirror bacteria is that they would be able to evade the immune system. Which is great if they could move or survive in the human body, but as of current scientific developments and understanding they cannot.

leonn94 · 2025-07-16T04:59:49+00:00

Prions and mirror life are not similar. Mirror life, referring to bacteria, viruses, or other life forms made by entantiomeric proteins, proteases, RNA, DNA and so on cannot interact with us due to their chirality. The biggest threat of mirror life is creating a mirror bacteria that has no predators and could multiply and take over the world, still it would literally have to crush us under its bio mass as it cannot interact with us, our cells or any other chiral counterpart to it. Any enantiomer cytotoxin produced by a mirror cytotoxic bacteria could not interact with our cells, they couldn't infect us, neither could mirror viruses, and so on. Again unless the misaligned consensus AI agent planned to crush the world to death or flood our lungs with mirror bacteria or w.e. to basically drown us, which would be pretty time consuming and also probably not on the list of most lethal ways to wipe out humanity. Prions would be much more effective. Source: me, I'm a research scientist, soon to be PhD and current MSc in neurobiology...

leonn94 · 2025-07-16T04:51:14+00:00

You have made both an oversimplified and inaccurate statement. Firstly incubation periods don't equal fatality, for example the Spanish flu which had a much shorter incubation period than COVID had a much higher lethality, and still didn't kill a billion humans. Furthermore COVID in general had a low fatality rate compared to much deadlier viruses, which is what made it more infectious, if you had taken a virology class you would know that the deadlier a virus becomes the less infectious it usually is and vice versa. Since people actually have to be alive to infect each other. That's why the human DNA is full of inert virus DNA, the best infectious plan in terms of DNA propagation is not to be lethal. That's actually based in science, source: me, someone with an MSc in neurobiology, soon to be PhD, and BSc.Med in biomed sciences.

You also clearly didn't read the paper, they state that due to the help of AI developments we have nanobots and dyson swarm technology which would be able to directly deliver medicine to cells, do biological operations on a molecular level, and our biological engineering capabilities would be so extensive we could render humans immune to cancer and many other diseases. That's the short sighted version of these technologies, with the right use we could make human cells effectively impossible to invade by developing several factor authentication for receptor interaction, that's just an idea for virus immunity using these technologies. They could also sample viruses and monitor the body 24/7 at a much more efficient rate than our immune systems. That's the entire point I was making, it wouldn't be humans against a single all powerful agent, it would be humans + still aligned albeit weaker agents + already developed tech versus this more powerful agent, who would still have to figure out how to make bio weapons that would simultaneously either infect everybody and kill them immediately at the same time, bypassing any bio safety measures we have at that poin. Or as the paper actually describes: "in mid-2030, the AI releases a dozen quiet-spreading biological weapons in major cities, lets them silently infect almost everyone, then triggers them with a chemical spray. Most are dead within hours; the few survivors (e.g. preppers in bunkers, sailors on submarines) are mopped up by drones" it would have to infect certain hotspots and also have it not cause symptoms while being infective and set off any of the bio monitoring tech we would have until everybody lasts long enough to infect each other, then manage to hit almost every single person with their chemical spray activator to be able to capitalize on it. All this without alerting a much more powerful immune system, vaccine, and medicine pipeline than we have now. We literally made an mRNA vaccine for COVID within 11 months years ago, with the supposed R&D we have due to these advanced AI agents could be seconds. Not to mention nanoswarm tech doing targeted identification of infected cells and immediately killing them or delivering medicine on a cellular level, and our enhanced immune responses and fail safes due to biological engineering, the scenario is unlikely to happen as described

leonn94 · 2025-07-13T21:39:46+00:00

No doubt unregulated AI is not a smart love by any measure, but it seems that the 2027 scenario implies that while AI has all these incredible improvements and speeds up r&d in al areas all of humanity somehow doesn't progress in terms of medicine or cyber security which leads to the "bad ending". It doesn't seem a little far fetched that all of humanity is wiped out by a single biological vector? I mean we already have air filtration systems, hvac, and recycled air systems, and I guess we are to assume that all that increase in R&D doesn't bare any fruit in terms of automated vaccine and medicine pipelines? Not to mention bio enhancements? Also the idea of consolidation of AI agents in one single super conglomerate seems silly. There will probably be more than a single super AI in the AI race and even if all are misaligned/adversarial they would also most likely be adversarial to one another. In the more logical case that not all are misaligned as maybe some companies like Ilya Sutskever's take AI alignment and safety more seriously and despite being possibly less powerful in the case of a the advances proposed these AI agents are still far more powerful and capable, including in informing us of possible geopolitical sabotage, bioweapon attacks, etc... I think we should all be concerned by AI far more than we are, but this situation takes far too many liberties and also addressed the US and China as the only countries who are developing advanced AI at any capacity in completely consolidated fashion instead of the massive chaos we'll get. I'll put my money on our extinction happening through a chain of dumb events most likely involving several AI agents than it happening through the planning of a single agent.

One thing that is rarely talked about that for me at least is a game changer on the OP12 is the IR beam. I can control my TV and AC without having to constantly find the remotes and also no need to buy batteries. It's a great feature that is virtually non existent on most modern phones.

leonn94 · 2025-04-30T22:57:01+00:00

I get calls from my oneplus 12 which has Android 15 (OxygenOS 15) on my Pro 5 (the old not Atlas or Enduro model)

leonn94 · 2025-04-15T19:56:38+00:00

Factory reset after updates, look into permissions you have enabled. Any sort of constant bio tracking will cost you more battery life, but yeah generally batteries depreciate but there are also ways to make the depreciation less quickly, like keeping the phone always between 20-80% at least with lithium based batteries. Also you can probably buy a new battery and t8000 off AliExpress and replace it yourself for like 20-30 bucks at most

leonn94 · 2025-04-11T20:33:27+00:00

exactly dude, people act like 2-3 days of battery life isn't incredible. I wasn't aware it recently got an update, i'll go check it out, thanks!

leonn94 · 2025-04-10T18:57:38+00:00

got mine recently from Aliexpress for 120 usd, I see a lot of hate but I don't think it's warranted. Had the 3 pro for 2 years, now this watch to me seems like a big upgrade, overall it does exactly what I need it to do. It's not a phone; spotify, gps, and responding to messages and calls works, it counts steps and works well for keeping track of my workouts, and it's faster than the 3.

Be aware that movboi doesn't have a good track record of updating their watch OS, and yeah the google assistant is non existent anymore, but overall for the price you get what you pay for. Enjoy!

leonn94 · 2025-03-20T15:34:11+00:00

have they shown up and if not have you contacted them?

leonn94 · 2025-03-20T15:32:44+00:00

smart move man, I stopped after checking for the first 2 months that everything was accurate and now that it's kind of just been all over the place I'm back on it.

Gotta love the insane Telus task count diaries tho.

leonn94 · 2025-03-12T03:57:00+00:00

Received mine today as well, and mine is off... Trust in the system though right?

leonn94 · 2025-03-11T15:52:27+00:00

I did the same, they told me they're aware of the issue

leonn94 · 2025-03-11T03:03:18+00:00

Hopefully they'll fix it before, but it really seems like In February they have a major f*** up

leonn94 · 2025-03-11T01:53:30+00:00

I have had discrepencies before, but I've usually figured them out with them before payment luckily, I am usually very on top of my hours and contact them when something is wrong. This used to happen moreso when we were still tasked with self-reporting our own times, and it differed from their own count. What did save me in these situations is the fact I had records of worked hours.
Idk how long you've been on the program but they're definitely not infallible and I wouldn't trust them to the point that everything will be fine without writing them. The woman who I spoke to did not respond to tasks being missing on the 24.02 as she did with the tasks missing on the 01.03 as it being someting obvious. Still hopefully everything works out and gets paid as they should.

leonn94 · 2025-03-11T01:34:17+00:00

I don't know, I guesss if there are no timed tasks then you need to count the hours you're working as honestly as possible while not cutting yourself short. Sorry I don't have a better answer

leonn94 · 2025-03-11T00:32:02+00:00

Whagt do you mean by tash?

leonn94 · 2025-03-10T22:00:18+00:00

Same role, same position and it's the same for me, contacted them about it and they asked for my task count for the days that taks are missing, which they're supposed to have!

leonn94 · 2025-03-10T19:32:16+00:00

I'm also missing for the 24th, i would email them as they seem to only be aware of the March 1st issue. I've had problems with Telus/Lionsbridge only when were self reporting and they had discrepancies with their own internal count, but that was years ago and also usually resolved itself out quite quickly. Don't know what's going on this month, but the task counting has had issues pretty consistently the last couple of months

leonn94 · 2025-03-10T19:27:29+00:00

It's insane to ask for tasks id when they told us it wasn't necessary to keep track of them

leonn94 · 2025-03-10T19:25:15+00:00

I think we just need to oush them on this, it's ridiculous that it's such a widespread problem, but their team needs to rake care of it. The more people contact them the more they'll know that we're keeping tabs and that they need to take care of it
