If it was actually there then just post that. A bunch of random comments on a decrepit forum has exactly as much accuracy as LLMs do. I don’t care what pictures you post, I care that you’re presenting random garbage as anything meaningful.
AI doesn’t answer questions. It has no concept of what is correct. It is a more complicated autocorrect trained on every bit of bullshit the Internet has ever spit out. You could post a mosaic of random reddit comments vaguely related to the topic and get an answer precisely as authoritative.
Please do not use AI slop to try to prove any point, ever. Just go read the actual source, it’s not hard.
Not having children doesn’t solve anything. That’s just an abandonment of the future. It directly harms people who need help - the elderly, those with disabilities and medical conditions, etc.
Even better, don’t eat chicken either. Chicken still takes up more land simply by requiring land to grow feed. Anything plant-based will be a better solution.
Ooo, that could be too.
The Astartes would totally be on the side of Sauron. They’re brainwashed child soldiers filled with xenophobia and hate. Definitely makes more sense for them to be Orcs - actually that’s basically what Orcs are in Tolkien.
That’s just hell
This is me
This is why I’m convinced we need to start mechanically speed-limiting cars. We do it for ebikes, but god forbid we do it for vehicles 100x heavier. No, your 4000lb vehicle does not need to go 0-60 in 5 seconds just to get you to work everyday.
Ban advertisements.
What utter crap.
The universe is mostly empty space with the occasional rock and ball of plasma. Assumptions of universal morality are just the result of an overactive tendency for our brains to find patterns in things. I do good things because I like doing them. This is likely the result of a bunch of evolved tendencies as well, but A) I am not making appeals to superstitious nonsense, and B) I can intellectually recognize that this feral drive I feel results in other sentient beings having a better life.
Taking all of that and saying, “YoU hAvE sPiRiTuaL nEeds!” is so completely absurd I don’t even have words for it.
Well THAT’S going in the DnD ideas folder.
I get your concern (this is the first time I’m hearing about it and oof). I would however point out that the core of transhumanism is the idea that we should have the freedom to modify our own bodies however we want. This is how I’ve always heard it used and how I’m going to keep using it.
I do understand where those people are coming from, though. If you have the technology to e.g. eliminate sickle cell anemia and choose not to do it, that’s as much eugenics as choosing to do so. I don’t know how to square that with individual liberty. Having parents decide is…not necessarily a great solution. Having society decide is also not a good solution, but probably the one we’ll have to end up doing.
As a grouchy old sci-fi nerd, can anyone explain why they think transhumanism is bad? Some Googling just leads to people claiming that it’s ‘anthropocentric’ - as if you can’t improve your body AND also care for nature at the same time.
How about we do mechanical speed limiting like they do with ebikes.
How about we compromise and just get rid of cars?
Not a joke: simply stop buying meat. Don’t think about how to ‘replace’ meat. Don’t attempt to limit yourself to a certain number of meat meals a week. I tried those things, and I completely failed at them. Make a list of all the meals you eat that do not include meat and/or can be made without meat and just make those. Make sure these are meals that you want to eat - donuts and cheese pizza are fine.
Random suggestions:
-Spaghetti - extra mushrooms, plus onions, peppers, spices as desired
-Veggie sandwhich - Bread of preference, cucumber, tomato, lettuce, humus
-Pizza. Yes, pizza.
-Tacos - black beans, roasted sweet potato cubes, pico de gallo, cheese etc
-Roasted cauliflower - cube it, toss with oil and spices, roast it.
-Chili - buncha beans (pinto, kidney, black, even garbanzos can work), tomato, onion, garlic, chile powder. If you wanna go nuts, add corn and, wierdly - barley. It works great.
-Chana masala - Google it, basically chickpeas with a gravy made of tomatoes, onions, garlic, buncha spices. Very similar to making chili.
EDIT: Formatting. Doh.
Your ‘argument against GMOs’ is an argument against seed patents, not GMOs. That’s the same as saying there’s an ‘argument against insulin’ because big companies own the patents and charge lots of money. The product is absolutely irrelevant to the conversation.
I… Wanna be in the room where it happens, the room where it happens…
