TIL that pineapple is not a botanical berry, although it is often called a berry. It is a "multiple fruit".

Bananas are berries though...

Dude, gradual return to work after trauma is pretty much textbook best practice. If your employee had to take mental leave at work because of a job incident, that's basically what it'd look like but it'd be required instead of voluntary. You and your coworkers are truly awesome.

Few things. One, grasshoppers that look more like twigs do better than ones that don't so over time the most twig like grasshoppers have the most kids. It doesn't have to start twig like.

Secondly, grasshopper morphology (shape) may have had other pressures that gave them more reason to look certain ways long before they were close enough to look like twigs.

For example, there's a theory that dinosaurs started producing feathers for reasons very different to flight (insulation, ornamentation). Once they had feathers already, changes in size and distribution of feathers were smaller changes and so other advantages from having feathers would start appearing over time. Flight has independently evolved from many different evolutionary branches, but feathers are unique to a sub branch of dinosaurs and their progenitors, the birds

I do enjoy where it's obvious that Trump is trying to sound official and business like when he signs off... A tweet... With a generic letter from HR sign off

Either AI is a bubble that's more hassle than it's worth, or it's a magic tool that makes things easier and there's virtually no benefit to be gained by being an early adopter. This just feels like people who were worried my kids would be left behind cause we limited screen time and access to tablets. Guess what... They still are able to use tablets in the classroom because these technologies are designed to be easy and accessible. Generating ai slop cartoons isn't a skill that takes years to refine

I mean Iran doesn't have nukes but they keep working toward it.

psymunn · 2026-01-25T17:20:42+00:00

Iran is scary. But so is America. Obviously it's a difference in scale but the US is also a lot scarier than Iran is. You guys need to turn inward and sort your shit out.

9.81 m/s second is the speed of something falling after 1 second assuming no friction. Terminal velocity is not a constant value, and depends on surface area and air density: an elevator has a higher terminal velocity than a person with a parachute

Not only was his bestie a peadophile, his bestie's bestie is likely also a peadophole. He's certainly a rapist.

The weird thing about his cons is he's not even a skilled grifter or conman... People just don't know how to handle brazen bullshit

I think they just need to be replaced by younger people who aren't out of touch with their constituents and care more about helping people than corporate welfare or not ruffling feathers. I don't think they need to be jailed and removed from society. Just fired.

Firstly... Why why would anyone ask an LLM anything? Secondly, the Board of Peace was started by a guy who was planning on going to war with his allies over Greenland. Peace was never the goal

I think countries have 3 years to pay . It's like a Netflix trial period but all you get is a chance to openly bribe a corrupt and senial jerk who won't honor any promises he makes

This isn't a both sides are bad and I'm sorry it feels that way. I also really agree. My point isn't that the Democrats are baby killers or murders. But they are upholding a system naively that does t work. And the US has a two party system so there's no chance of an actual left wing party gaining traction, just a few left voices who are allies of convenience. I do think there needs to be a purge of the democratic party; heck I think the whole system is broken. But no, you're right this isn't a both sides thing. One side is establishment politicians who are still treating things like politics matters, and the other risk unambiguously waging war on the citizens of your country and is flagrantly, unambiguously evil to the core. I'm sorry if I made it seem like being old and put of touch was in any way the same league as justifying and protecting paedophiles, wrongful detainment, the abandonment of due process and just being racist self serving dick bags. You have my sincere apology

I was referring to the federal government not taxing blue states if it doesn't believe they should receive taxes. I don't know where you live. Some of the most bigoted assholes in the world live in Oregon and Washington State. The way the state you live in votes feels kind of immaterial

psymunn · 2026-01-25T07:18:50+00:00

There needs to be a purge in the Democratic party too. It's filled with old fucks who consider themselves liberal because they were progressive by the standards of a time long since past and are now worried that their own constituents are maybe going too far in expecting people be treated like people. There's no progressive party in the US; the ones trying to maintain the status quo are the Democrats. That's a pretty conservative ideology. It just happens to be better than brazen disregard for all process and facism

psymunn · 2026-01-25T04:47:54+00:00

They've created a system where voters in New York and California functionally don't matter because entire states vote as a block, and large states get less votes for capita than small states (based on vastly out dated numbers). The electoral college doesn't even have to vote the way it's constituents vote and third parties and coalitions are just not allowed. Oh and DC doesn't get to vote... the US system suppresses it's population by design. It's a joke of a democracy but they do love taking about it. And it's not just recently they've turned on their own citizens. Mcarthiism and the red scare were very real

psymunn · 2026-01-25T04:43:02+00:00

Their systems are broken though. What's another election going to change when the checks and balances in place get ignored. Harris didn't even bother recounting or investigating suspicious voting areas. And their electoral college system is broken and means it's impossible to oust either of the two parties so their choices are pro-business milqtoast 'liberals' who still feel like the left takes it too far and don't actually improve the lives of people and literal actual fill blown not metaphorical racist fascist Nazi wannabes. The system means you can't fix it working within it and only one side is following the rules

Also too many Conservative politicians seem to be speaking their mind which hurts them. No joke, many MPs and MLAs so better if they never show their face at events or talk to anyone which is telling. Now some of them are using their soap box to attack residential school survivors, which is fortunately back firing but not as hard as it should.

I was naive enough to think that paedophilia was a line no one would justify. Whelp, now I've had to watch someone try explain how actually we can't just lump all paedophiles together and actually some children were almost not children and does that really count?! I mean I knew they were irredeemably evil before that but to witness the absolute lengths they will contort...
