You may not like to hear this but women having a kid past 30 introduces a lot of potential problems and deficiencies in the child.
bergenty··on Age that kids acquire mobile phones not linked to well-being: study
Because feminism ruins everything.
bergenty··on Age that kids acquire mobile phones not linked to well-being: study
It has definitely not stuck. Not even in progressive communities. It’s back to being Latino just about everywhere.
bergenty··on Lastpass Security Incident
I hate password managers. They sign you out way too often and god forbid you’re on another PC.
bergenty··on Lastpass Security Incident
It’s seems more dangerous to be in doubt about your answers to security questions
bergenty··on GIMP Turns 27
That’s an interesting perspective. Did GIMP get there first but just not patent the tech or it just makes it so that GIMP cannot replicate improvements?
bergenty··on GIMP Turns 27
This is a stark validation of capitalism.
bergenty··on GIMP Turns 27
Proves the value of managers breathing down everyone’s necks. It’s a good tool but hasn’t achieved all that much over 27 years.
bergenty··on Tell HN: If you have trouble focusing on projects/meetings, see a psychatrist
Is this really all that surprising? I’ve taken adderall a few times and it becomes very, very easy to do a lot of work. It’s an amphetamine.
bergenty··on Gaslighting is Word of the Year 2022
It’s never your fault, you’re always the gaslit victim
bergenty··on How thick is a three-sided coin?
I wonder if it’s true randomness sourced from something physical or a programmed probability.
bergenty··on Beyond Meat is struggling, and the plant-based meat industry worries
When you push “meat” made of soy, not not helping the narrative. Vegetarians are “pussies” to begin with and you pile on that stereotype with “soy boy”. It doesn’t stand a chance.
bergenty··on Shenzhou-15 manned mission ready for launch after final rehearsal
I wouldn’t underestimate the Chinese. They have a much larger tolerance for loss of human life so they may progress faster.
bergenty··on Social media firms face big UK fines if they fail to stop sexist& racist content
Sounds like the exact opposite of aligning to me.
bergenty··on California Will Allow People to Clear Criminal Records After Serving Time
This sounds great and well thought out to be honest.
bergenty··on Netherlands is the second-largest exporter of agricultural products
I’ve never heard of clay soil being referred to as fertile. What exactly grows in clay soil? Generally vegetables don’t grow in clay soil, neither do a lot of fruit trees.
bergenty··on Lab-Grown Meat Is Safe to Eat, FDA Says
If I had to opine, I would say an immune system would attack foreign antigens and anything that needs to be eliminated while the animal was alive so the meat would be… healthier?
bergenty··on Capsaicin is a psychoactive substance
The difference is you’re not causing any damage to your body when you eat spicy food unlike hitting your finger with a hammer.
bergenty··on A navigation app that illuminates public land within privately held property
It definitely doesn’t, not according to the dictionary anyway.

As an aside, I think you may be underestimating how large American homes and properties can be, it’s not Europe scale. 5 acres really isn’t all that large.

bergenty··on AI will dominate the animation industry in less than 5 years
You clearly know more than me but it definitely looks like it all fit neatly into a 5-10 year timeline which imo is insane for something of this magnitude.
bergenty··on Why do you guys hate school so much?
Grouping assault and misconduct is extremely disingenuous here. “Misconduct” could be as insipid as some woman “feeling uncomfortable”.
bergenty··on AI will dominate the animation industry in less than 5 years
Waymo is literally open to the public in multiple cities and does well. FSD is here now.
bergenty··on Why Unreal Engine 5.1 is a Deal [video]
I know it’s not practical but I wish Oculus had a mode where you could plug it in and the graphics were supercharged.
bergenty··on Americans are choosing to be alone, but we should reverse that
Still seems like a superior system for the overwhelming majority of people as compared to something that works for no one.
bergenty··on Americans are choosing to be alone, but we should reverse that
For a small proportion of abused people. It usually works very well for 95%+ of the people in it. It’s definitely not worth throwing it in the trash for those kinds of numbers.
bergenty··on The Pentagon fails its fifth audit in a row
I mean isn’t this literally by design in that we have a black hole for a lot of the secret military projects?
bergenty··on A navigation app that illuminates public land within privately held property
Sweden needs that law because it’s a tiny country where you can’t be outdoors for extended periods for more than 6 months out of the year. The US is huge. People aren’t really missing out if they don’t go on other peoples properties.
bergenty··on Americans are choosing to be alone, but we should reverse that
There is a problem with lonely people by definition. Now being alone/by yourself/solitude is completely acceptable.
bergenty··on Americans are choosing to be alone, but we should reverse that
All of these suggestions are optional. The biggest part of community is it is a forced coexistence. Anything optional takes willpower and most people just will not do consistently.
bergenty··on Americans are choosing to be alone, but we should reverse that
There aren’t a lot of good examples that can replace church. Church was literally a forced outing for everyone once a week. A barbershop or pub is not even close to being the same thing.
