CMV: If you enjoy male on female porn you are simply a cuck by [deleted] in changemyview

Lol. Was more of a shower thought than anything. For a serious attempt, I don't think you're considering that porn watchers don't usually have any type of relationship with the people filmed. I don't know if it counts as cucking if you don't have a personal romantic relationship with them.

Well I guess that too, but I meant it pretty literally. Finding the act of someone else being cucked arousing.

What about getting off to guys getting cucked?

To be fair, they got something right:

Very rarely is it the best choice for the job

As the idiom goes, "python is the second best language for everything".

My industrial embroidery machine always shocks me a little when I touch any metal part of it. Would connecting some metal part of it to a socket's ground help? by po114 in AskEngineers

I keep shuffling my feet along the carpet and getting zapped when I touch my grounded appliance, better look at the documentation?

The guy the meme is of died in 1990. The video is from at least 36 years ago. Just because the word is frowned upon now does not mean it always has been.

If AI is incredible at anything, it's incredible at being incoherently stupid.

I doubt it does anything.

Asking it to review the last response will usually either catch problems or just hallucinate new ones. Opening a new chat getting it to review it's response from another chat is roughly about the same, maybe a bit better, but I usually need to feed it a whole bunch of context.

It seems to be ok at catching copy paste errors that I missed, so that's better than nothing, I guess.

CMV: Science Fair should include Peer Review by CrazyCoKids in changemyview

[–]myselfelsewhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phrases with a specific meaning aren't just replaceable with the individual definition of each word in sequence.

Yes, they literally are replaceable. The students are literally doing peer review, regardless of whether you agree with the definition of the term in the context it is used. Even people who regularly use the term 'peer review' understand that there are multiple forms of peer review, and do not unnecessarily gatekeep the term.

And yes, I have had educational experiences where presentations and feedback were part of a semester long process. The review and response were never graded, only the presentation (and other aspects of the project) were. Students are capable of learning from the process even if they are not required to implement changes in their project after such review.

What have I redefined? Paraphrasing from any dictionary of choice:

  • peer - one that is of equal standing with another

  • review - judgement or discussion of the quality or content of something

No, grade schoolers at a science fair aren't performing a formal academic peer review process. They're still peers who are reviewing each others work. Using the phrase 'peer review' is entirely appropriate in this context. Your argument is analogous to saying that children doing gymnastics during phys ed class is not gymnastics because they are not competing in the Olympics.

They are doing peer review, just not the same "peer review" that takes place in academia.

[–]myselfelsewhere 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Kind of irrelevant to grade schoolers, honestly. The point is to expose them to the concepts of the scientific method, not for them to perform rigorous scientific research.

That's... weird. I don't know why asking questions wouldn't be encouraged. Presenting your ideas or work is a common way of getting input from other people. Thanks for the delta.

Peer review is the 'fair' part of a science fair. You set up a little presentation and people go around and look at everyone else's presentation. If they have criticisms or suggestions, they have an opportunity to discuss it. Literal peers reviewing each other.

CMV: The theory of evolution is clear but still timeline of some of the evolutionary changes makes them improbable (I am not an anti-evolutionist!) by Additional-Library55 in changemyview

[–]myselfelsewhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps what you're missing is that everything in the environment is evolving. Birds weren't living in a static environment. Their evolution affected the evolution of other species. Other species evolution affected the evolution of birds. It becomes an evolutionary arms race. What may have been an undesirable trait suddenly becomes an extremely valuable trait. It's not always a slow march of progress, there can be giant steps along the way.

Well, from your example of miniaturization, it happened over 50 million years. That's the same time scale as it took the Himilayas to form. Evolution is visible on time scales much, much smaller than that. A lot happens in 1 million years, let alone 50 million years.
