If you eat basically any form of meat, I have some bad news for you...

Look, if you don't want to listen to some random dude who thinks reading is cool, fair enough. But if that random dude also runs level three diagnostics on the warp core and can swap polarity on the main deflector dish with one hand tied behind his back? Yeah...you should probably pay attention.

I think there are examples of projects getting criticized for not recreating the corposhit. Take GIMP

sure some folks really like it, but there are huge swaths of people who basically just say, "why doesn't it work like Photoshop?!" and get very frustrated with its different approach.

Personally, I like Google Photos

the interface, not the product

so when Immich came along and basically cloned it, I was really happy (I think Immich is fantastic, and at this point calling it a Photos clone is kinda offensive tbh

it's way cool).

Some corposhit just sucks, yeah, but some is actually well thought out

no shame in taking the concept and running with it, IMHO.

Someone described respectful ways of interacting with children similarly

you can bring yourself down to their level, or you can bring them up to yours. Both are respectful, and there's no "talking down" to anyone.

It's a matter of perspective and use

high density one place means you can have open space somewhere else, for a given amount of land.

I'd much prefer a few large dense housing complexes, surrounded by green space, than suburban sprawl.

Guy buying condoms? He's hoping to get some.

Guy buying tampons? He's definitely getting some.

As much as I think a "would you like to have a beer with the candidates?" is a stupid way of measuring things...I wouldn't mind having a beer with these candidates.

How about we give parents one extra vote per child.

But they have to wait 18 years to use it.

And they can't directly use it, it's more that they get a delegate of sorts.

And this delegate

let's call them, I dunno, ~~their kid~~ "offspring voter"

isn't legally bound to vote one way or another.

And how about this person votes in a manner that in some way reflects how they were raised, and their worldy experiences

possibly voting exactly as the parents would, or possibly exactly opposite, or anywhere in between.

Having survived grad school and then some without a dishwasher, I will never look at loading/unloading the dishwasher as a chore; it is a privilege to do so (and is always followed by a heartfelt Thank You to that most selfless of appliances).

Hilarious to me that it OCRs the text. The text is generated by the computer. It's almost like when Lt. Cmdr. Data wants to get information from the computer database, so he tells the computer to display it and just keeps increasing the speed

there are way more efficient means of getting information from A to B than displaying it, imaging it, and running it though image processing!

I totally get that this is what makes sense, and it's independent of the method/library used for generating text, but still...the computer "knows" what it's displaying (except for images of text), and yet it has to screenshot and read it back.

I like the sentiment, but there are non-peer reviewed papers that are real science. Politics and funding are real things, and there is a bit of gatekeeping here, which isn't really good IMHO.

Also, reproducibility is a sticky subject, especially with immoral experiments (which can still be the product of science, however unsavory), or experiments for which there are only one apparatus in the world (e.g., some particle physics).

Have a kid...
