jdmtheNth··on The Maximum Human Lifespan Will Rise Dramatically This Century, Researchers Say
Will it be worth it? If you've ever been inside a long term care home, you know that there's no dignity left after 70 or so.
jdmtheNth··on [dead]
Because not everyone is an angry child that wants to hit back at his parents by destroying tradition.
jdmtheNth··on Liberal Faculty Don’t Hate Conservative Students Enough to Discriminate
Vaguely reassuring.
jdmtheNth··on Bluesky is starting to feel like Twitter
I suppose if it's invite only you can keep the rabble and anyone with different opinions out.
jdmtheNth··on The joy and freedom of harmlessly upsetting social norms
Spoken like a person incapable of self-regulation that needs external rules to function.
jdmtheNth··on The DVD’s demise leaves many films gone with the wind
Not at all; My comment was entirely facetious. I'm opposed to destroying the past to appease the present. That's why I scour used bookstores for older copies of challenged books. I've had to add Roald Dahl recently, but someone has to remember the past.
jdmtheNth··on The joy and freedom of harmlessly upsetting social norms
What would Kant say about this?
jdmtheNth··on Veganism is ‘single biggest way’ to reduce our environmental impact, study finds
If everyone is so determined, perhaps we can start by halting all meat exports and sanctions on countries that import meat.
jdmtheNth··on The DVD’s demise leaves many films gone with the wind
Just makes it easier to dismiss them as offensive relics of an oppressive white supremacist patriarchy. No-one under 40 is going to miss what they don't want to know about.
jdmtheNth··on When did mass layoffs become so normal?
When employers realized that there will always be someone desperate enough to do the job for cheaper.
jdmtheNth··on You Should Be Worried About Substack
You should be worried about random people on the internet telling you how to think.
jdmtheNth··on Effects of Time-Restricted Eating on Nafld: The Treaty-FLD RCT
Only because the jargon in the title told me nothing about what the article was about, and I thought to save other people from wasting their time by telling them what NAFLD stood for.
jdmtheNth··on Space Law Society at Harvard Law School Hosts Panel on Ethics of Space Mining
“All the resources we’re talking about are finite resources. As much as people looking for investors want to talk about space being infinite and there being infinite resources, these are finite, limited resources, they’re not going to last forever,” Nesvold said.
jdmtheNth··on Effects of Time-Restricted Eating on Nafld: The Treaty-FLD RCT
"The efficacy and safety of time-restricted eating (TRE) on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remain uncertain."
jdmtheNth··on Musk feuds with another public broadcaster, labels CBC “69% Government-funded”
They do, and their only care is how it's going to disproportionately affect self-identified victims of oppression and drag queens.
jdmtheNth··on Musk feuds with another public broadcaster, labels CBC “69% Government-funded”
Fair enough; I guess I don't pay him that much attention.
jdmtheNth··on Men's vs. Women's Razors
If there's no difference, why don't women just opt for the cheaper razors, even if they are mens? Manufacturers only maintain products so long as they sell, and if they can convince gullible people to keep paying, well, that's business. There's a sucker born every minute.
jdmtheNth··on Musk feuds with another public broadcaster, labels CBC “69% Government-funded”
I don't think it was necessarily a sex joke. They objected to being labelled 70% government-funded, so he kindly revised it downward by a whole 1%. Still a troll, though not undeserved. CBC is entirely an arm of the federal government, and wildly biased to the left.
jdmtheNth··on Netflix viewers left 'traumatised' by ‘terrifying’ science fiction horror film
Kinda the point of a horror film. It's also an older film; they could have looked up content warnings.
jdmtheNth··on Attention K-Mart Shoppers: Collected K-Mart background music tapes
OMG. I didn't believe it, but it's true. Who could possibly be nostalgic for that?
jdmtheNth··on Spanish climber emerges after 500 days in cave
She's the type of person you want to send to Mars.
jdmtheNth··on Employee Asked to Go Remote, Job Outsourced to India
Similar to auto workers unions pricing their members out of competition until the jobs get sent out of the country. You can only push employers so far before they realize that everyone is replaceable.
jdmtheNth··on What archaeology is telling us about the real Jesus
The current church of woke is the finest example you could ask for. Trump learned from the best.
jdmtheNth··on Researchers investigate involuntary THC exposure in homes
Delightful. Having daily exposure from birth to age nineteen, I've often wondered how badly that affected me developmentally. It would explain a lot.
jdmtheNth··on ‘This is a war’: Californians seek affordable housing alternatives
It'll be fine when the housing price drops to $1 for some people.
jdmtheNth··on Is My Wife Right? An AI tool that will agree with your wife no matter what
I asked it a question without indicating which position was mine and which was my wife's, and it still agreed with her, dammit.
jdmtheNth··on The Reddit Mods/Moderation Is Out of Control
Almost as bad as the pissy downvoters here.
jdmtheNth··on Apple Pay Launches in South Korea
Skimming headlines, I had a nasty moment when I saw "launches" and "Korea" in the same sentence. Whew.
jdmtheNth··on The Reddit Mods/Moderation Is Out of Control
Always has been.
jdmtheNth··on Poll: Is Twitter better or worse since Elon Musk bought it?
No actual difference.
