Bailey and Littmans findings make the trans community angry because the research supports that for some trans females, (not all but some) they transition due to a sexual kink. That they can only be sexually excited by being a woman.
I’m a cis woman and being a woman is very much a requirement for my sexual excitement.
Repeat after me: LLMs are never safe.
If you can’t distinguish Data from Instructions, you are inherently doing it wrong, and it will never be fixed.
Or even post-voyager, that’s fine too.
Spend tens of billions.
Poop in a bag.
Age helps. Our cats took 3 years before they could lay down within slapping distance of eachother, and another 2 before they could actually cuddle up.
I want more Strange New Worlds, not more Discovery.
A big feature AND problem with the live-service market is that gamers STAY engaged with the games. The majority of players play your random RTS for a few weeks, maybe a month, and then move on. But these live service hero shooters keep pumping out content to keep players invested and build in a ton of engagement sinks so you won’t leave.
As a result, you can’t have “The next Marvel Rivals” like you had “The next Command and Conquer” or “The next Battlefield”, because everyone is still playing the current Marvel Rivals. That results in a completely saturated market. If you want a player, you’re going to have to drag them away from their current game, which they’re comfortable with and have a massive investment in.
If you’re releasing the next Assassin’s Creed, you don’t need to be amazing, you just need to wait for people to finish the last one and deliver something pretty nice. Maybe it’s better, maybe it’s worse, but the field is empty so who cares. For Live-Service, you don’t just need to be better than the rest, you need to be sufficiently better that all the players are willing to abandon their huge investment in the other game and switch to you.
And well, your game might dissapear any second, while their game has been around for years and surely will stay around foreeeever.
She spent 10 minutes slowly sneaking up on a 40kg predator in its natural environment.

To be fair, that’s like 150 years old, back when they believed in spontaneous generation, and the idea that continents move was absurd and crazy.
To run it in a circle is the same as leaving it to sit stagnant in a bowl except with extra dust collected from the air.
Some cats will genuinely drink more from moving water. Other cats love water with some waterplants in it. And yet more cats would rather lick from muddy puddles than drink fresh clean water.
Regardless, these fountains usually have filters.
Rig up a constantly dripping faucet and maybe your cat’s kidneys will stop failing after a few years.
Cats as a species have weak kidneys. Cat kidney failure is kinda like human cardiovascular disease. Older humans get, the more likely their cardiovascular system gives out, and the older cats get, the more likely their kidneys are to fail.
Dust in water is not a contributor to kidney failure unless you work on a lilly farm or aspirin factory or something.
Economics is basically social psychology with some numbers sprinkled in.
Orchids indicate s… Wait…
I used to have an open litterbox, but my cat needed about two meters of scratching to “bury” their poop. Floor, bookcase, wall, anything.
Now that I have a covered box, they mostly stop at the wall.
Walk? In the snow? I have people for that.
Kittens and older cats can’t always clean themselves properly. And sometimes cats just do something incredibly dumb and need rescuing…
Both!
And Laika wasn’t a Laika
Monoculture just means a single species crop, and does not reference a time frame at all.
Correct! Crop rotation is monoculture, even if you plant a wheat one year, beans the next and melons he third.
Monoculture is either the same crop on a field every time,
Incorrect. Crop rotation is still monoculture. Dynamic cycling is still monoculture. It only stops being monoculture when you plant and grow more types of crops from the same field at the same time.
In practice, even polyculture fields will be strips the width of whatever harvesting machine will fit, or they’re tiny hand-planted fields.
Fullface masks with cheap P3 filters will work fine against pepperspray (be sure to lose the filter after you get sprayed). You can get something good enough on AliExpress for like 30 bucks, from several “we have 3M at home” brands.
For CS/CN aka teargas deployed in wide-area use, you’ll definitely want an active carbon filter. Note that those will work fine on your knockoff gasmask, but the fit of it will be much worse than a proper (150 dollar) mask, so you’ll definitely get some tiny exposure. It gets worse if your face isn’t that of a cleanshaven white male. Note that activated carbon has a limited lifespan, whether in use or not. Technically you’ll want RCA filter canisters, but those aren’t in most stores.
Damn, I’m stealing that quote
