Later games just show you a series of pictures and ask which one you look like.
They'll still choose your gender pronouns based on which picture you choose, though.
I don't have trash pickup, though, lol!
Too expensive in my area. (Seriously, $95/mo for the smallest can, and recycling costs extra!? Fuck off with that shit.)
Some of my trash gets burned in the wood stove -- free heat. Some can be fed to the chickens. The rest gets tossed in an old trailer that I drive to the dump myself 2 or 3 times a year. (We don't generate very much trash in our household in the first place.) For me, nothing much would change. I guess, presumably, if the trash pickup workers were on strike, the dump workers might also be. If the strike went on long enough that my trailer was getting overfilled, I guess I'd have to find somewhere else to dump it.
Yeah, if I was thinking of running for Congress as a Republican (heaven forbid), I'd probably wait 2026 out. Incumbents will surely shoot their shot, but if you're running for the first time, why waste the time, effort, and campaign funding when you're obviously facing such an uphill battle?
Shush now. No there isn't. No need to worry about it.
Stay in your blissful ignorance.
There's a reason there are so many of them.
Sounds a bit low, honestly.
Though, to be fair, even a lot of raving morons don't support Trump.
A lot of that crowd is elderly. Even if none of them change their opinion, he's still going to be losing them over time.
My grandma voted for Trump in 2024 ... by mail, from her hospice bed.
Hopefully, she won't be voting in 2026 or 2028. (Though I wouldn't put it past my family to cast another mail-in ballot for her 'because it's what she would have wanted'.)
Same here. I block all kinds of communities, often just because they're not relevant to my interests.
I wish I knew a way to block a community without having to visit that community first, directly from my front page where a post from that community is showing up.
I don't believe he's ever worn a hat ... not for several decades, at least.
Wearing a hat would imperil that very fragile-looking shit on his head that passes for hair.
the question of whether evolutionary pressure on the timescale of human generations can keep up with our technological advancement
As long as people exist who could/would refuse it, and as long as there are enough of them to form a viable breeding population, evolution will bring the species through it.
Waiting for random beneficial mutations usually takes a long, long time. But if the beneficial mutations are already in a population, the population can adapt extremely quickly. If all the individuals without that mutation died off quickly (or at least didn't produce offspring) then that mutation would be in basically 100% of the population within one generation. A rather smaller generation than the previous ones, sure, but they would have less competition and more room to grow. (Though, thanks to recessive genetics, you're likely to still see individuals popping up without that beneficial mutation occasionally for a long time to come. But those throwbacks will become more and more rare as time goes on.)
That's a vast oversimplification, though. Because it's very unlikely that the ability to resist the temptation of 'wireheading' comes down to the presence or absence of a single particular gene.
Since mouse studies have already been done, it would be interesting to do it with a large, long-running experiment on an entire breeding population of mice, to see if there are any mice that are capable of surviving and reproducing under those conditions (and if so, do they show any evidence of evolving to become more resistant?)
While we still can.
And time is limited. Hardware restrictions are coming. It won't be long until you have to jailbreak your PC to run anything other than MacOS or Windows (and jailbreak the OS if you want to install any software on those that isn't from their approved app store or 'digitally signed' by them) ... if it's even possible to jailbreak -- it will become a cat-and-mouse game between big tech trying to lock down your hardware and developers/hackers trying to find ways around their blocks.
Sure, you can keep using old hardware for a while ... but things wear out and break eventually, and even the ones that are still working will become increasingly incompatible with more modern protocols and interfaces.
