The current situation is that AI is negatively affecting the globe’s societies on various levels. Be it by having disastrous ecological costs attached to it, by having disastrous psychological effects on many people and by completely shifting how information is generated, distributed and verified. Where even more knowledgeable people totally misunderstand how AI works and make critical decisions based on its outputs. And you want to discuss this tiny minority of people who are fundamentally against AI? I agree that these people certainly are motivated by their own biases instead of only facts, but so are you and I. Why is it so important for you to have this discussion in favor of AI then? You don’t really seem to understand the limitations of AI and seem biased yourself. It would certainly be a more productive discussion to directly focus on your feelings towards AI (some kind of hope I’d guess?) than trying to focus on why others are of a different opinion. And maybe just so you can learn why the anarchist utopia where AI plays a big role isn’t a realistic one.

Thanks for the answers! Maybe I ask my endocrinologist next time what she thinks about it as well.

I experience the opposite even when I’m under time pressure (running late for something). When I discover some small, unrelated problem my brain will switch to problem solving mode and focus on this new task instead. This way I totally loose track of time, even though I was totally stressed out about it a second ago. This can happen with stuff like a broken tool but also if I happen to look at a sudoku.

Thanks for the response! OK, so then I’ll just postpone thinking about taking progesterone until we have more substantiated information about it. I’ve infrequently heard about it for the last 6-7 years now, but nothing really specific (except maybe for breast development).

What are your personal reasons for taking it? (If you feel comfortable sharing this obviously)

Was it really a bug though?? (i.e. in the order Hemiptera)

Hm, my endocrinologist never mentioned taking progesterone as an option. Why do you take it and do you have any site that you could point me to that has more information?

Great read, thanks for sharing!

Ah OK, didn’t connect this to the post somehow, sorry

So cool!! Thanks :)

Same latitude doesn’t mean same climate though. North America is much colder at the same latitudes as Europe for example. The climate also depends on how far away you live from the ocean and many other factors.

I.e. we need more humor for trans people and not about trans people

Haha took me a while to read it

Is this an isopod? :O

Nice!!

According to the Wikipedia article fascination can be caused by random mutations, bacterial or other infections as well as environmental stresses. So I’d say it totally depends. Only genetic mutations should make the plant give this characteristic to its offspring.

Most plants that I’ve seen with this characteristic are also not uniformly affected by it.

Haha I immediately had the exact same thought!

Eww… just another state with imperialist and fascist history that has done many genocides (none of which it has ever acknowledged)

Sure, it is deeply unfair how transphobia hinders us to be ourselves and makes us so ashamed of ourselves. And on top of that many of us also feel a lot of internal pressure of going against the shame and transphobia. I feel like this meme is a good way of alleviating at least some of this pressure. And saying “the best time of transitioning was yesterday” would make me feel bad about myself because it gives in to that pressure.

Wow, layers of bodyshaming in the meme and comments… :(
