Yeah they really don’t understand anything related to biology.

Good thing that DNA, genitals and gender are always 100% correlated right.

I mean, he was sort of fucking around. A lawyer that is fine using AI for a case should never be allowed to work as a lawyer after that. That’s a gigantic moral flaw.

This is how an update news should be done. Summarize the software, include the changelog.

Software? Reliable? What?

Why do you think places that need reliability are stuck of systems made decades and decades ago? They know that software is shit and unreliable and that you should never touch it if you have something that works.

“Humanity finds out once again that they conveniently dismissed sentient beings as brainless objects, puts into perspective the assumed intelligence of said humanity” can really cover a whole bunch of articles.

There’s a lot of shit writing in all the star treks (less so in lower decks maybe) but discovery is consistently, deeply badly written, and in ways that often have a pretty bad underlying meaning.

And also, people complain on Discovery for different reasons. Nazis find it too woke because they don’t pretend that lgbt people don’t exist, I find it fakely woke but actually discriminating against minorities while pretending to defend them.

In a way, Discovery is a shittily written, enlightened-centrist version of star trek, so I think it’s good that people shit on it. Now people should obviously shit on a lot of other star treks like Enterprise and Picard, but I’m certainly not going to stop shitting on discovery in the meanwhile.

It feels a bit pulled out of nowhere though. If it was the plan from the start, it’s not very good writing.

The red angel, who is supposed to be either Burnham or her mother, and neither of them had a reason to go back in time to save a random church, and teleport it to a random planet. Also absolutely no mention of how they would achieve such a thing.

I mean, they were still trying to show it as James Bond-cool (which I mean, works if you see that James Bond is pretty problematic, but most people don’t)… They were shown as a bit evil, but also as the “cool, edgy dudes that do what needs to be done”, but other shows managed to do worse somehow.

Let’s not forget the part where they want to go in the future to stop control because they think they can’t destroy it, then control gets destroyed, then they go in the future anyway.

Also, I don’t think any star trek depicted section 31 in a way that didn’t make the show worse, but Discovery really went the extra mile

The church in Discovery.

I am convinced that they put it there without having an explanation yet, then forgot they did it when they made the explanation.

Like it or not, Windows is the dominant operating system. And it’s not even close. That means when we’re having a conversation about designing a User Experience on Linux-based operating systems, that conversation must be bookended by “how do Windows users expect this to work?” And we need to design for that or else everything falls apart.

Yeah the basis of the whole logic is bullshit.

This guy is doing the OS equivalent of the left parties trying to be less on the left, to appeal to the far right. It doesn’t work and just ends up with the shit propagating and everyone getting used to it and lowering their standards.

I don’t know how long ago you tried, now the game is reaching near completion and there is a tutorial.

It is pretty hard to get into IMO, you need to get used to many concepts and sometimes weird menus and such, that is the problem of the game. I guess you can give a try to the tutorial now and see if it spikes your interest more, the game has changed a lot over the past years.

I used vecto3d, but it was just to visualize something quickly so I have no idea how the STL export is.

Do you know of Songs of Syx?

A bit like a large-scale rimworld, with a focus on managing a big population and world diplomacy/war.

A bit hard to get into, though.

Also, what about project zomboid? A bit far from your description I guess, but who knows.

I mean, big parrots can easily live 70 years. But that’s not a bad thing, I’m always confused with people who want their pets to die fast.

But on average, parrots kept as pets die rather fast compared to how long they can live. Most people with cockatiels have them die before they are 20, even though they can live at least up to 35-40. But then again, you see how people take care of them and it’s no surprise that they die fast.

If your cockatoo lives long and healthy, it’s a positive thing, and it means that you and your wife are taking proper care of him. But you should hope for him to live a healthy hundred years!

I’ll copy the comment I put on another place:

People are HORRIBLE with birds. Even the ones that pretend to love them treat them like trash.

And then there’s the fuckers that think that their views of the world matters more than anything else, and will punish masturbation because animals don’t feel pleasure so it shouldn’t be allowed, will punish them for having gay couples because gay shouldn’t exist and especially not in animals (else how can you say your main homophobic argument of “gay is unnatural, only degenerate humans do it”), will starve them for “training” purposes, and don’t get me started on the diets, environment safety and cage sizes.

There’s a reason why the life expectancy of birds doesn’t increase in captivity. People are really, really horrible with birds, and the more I read about people who “care” about birds the worse I feel for their birds.

Yeah, just like people try to prevent forest fires because they feel like it’s an environmental problem, and then researchers are suggesting that preventing forest fires completely actually causes them to be worse and more frequent.

Maybe at some point the idea that when an environmental problem arises, you need to completely take control over it, is not such a good idea. And as you said, reintroducing predators that have been exterminated by hunters (whether it was from a government incentive or not doesn’t really change who did it) is probably the best solution that we have available, but it’s not done because fuckers keep on thinking that mass killing is an alternative solution. If people stopped loving hunters so much, the idea of “culling” or mass murdering a species would not be seen as a possibility, and everyone would shut up about reintroducing predators.

Justifying hunting is never, in no shape or form, helping anything. It just makes things worse for everyone (except the hunters, that are enjoying their lives of murder-hobos)

“Hunters have been destroying the environment for centuries, and now the environment is fucked up, so the solution is more hunting!”

Really a copy paste of the “against mass shootings, we need to give more weapons to people so they can shoot the shooters”, an argument that is absurd to everyone outside of the US, and to anyone in the US who has a brain.
