Normally, I'd say that it's a great shame that a piece of valuable scientific equipment was lost and that it's a massive loss to humanity as a whole as the international scientific community is usually able to co-operate regardless of boarders.

But this time, Russia said they won't be sharing any data gathered from this probe with the international community and would be keeping it all to themselves so suddenly I don't give a shit.

Leave a bowl out with a sign that says "if the bowl is empty, please knock." You don't even have to fill the bowl with anything.

It only took a couple billion monkeys a few million years but one did eventually write out the full works of Shakespeare

She lived almost 3 times the average life expectancy for her species!?! That's genuinely insane! Imagine a human living to 180 years old!

"he's a smart kid, he just needs to apply himself" and "but you know what to do here, I've seen you do it so why are you having problems with it now?"

Both are things I've heard constantly through my life. Made me feel horrible about myself every single time because I didn't understand why at the time either.

Most of my teachers just assumed I was pissing about behind their backs and would ask me "you must know why you haven't been able to complete the work/homework/task" even if I had been listening and really trying.

Took the whole of primary school and the first year of secondary school before I actually got a teacher who understood and helped me to actually get somewhere.

Still not officially diagnosed just because of how shockingly bad adult ADHD diagnosis is in the UK and not being able to go private but most all the techniques I've used have worked and I think almost any GP that would look at me would probably agree.

Just to say, anyone who might be reading this and can imagine themselves saying/have said these in the past, please don't. You have no idea how unhelpful/damaging talking like this can actually be to someone who really needs the extra support.

My cousin got a new TV and I was helping to set it up for him. During the setup thing, it had an option to enable AI enhanced audio and visuals. Turning the ai audio on turned the decent, but maybe a little sub par audio, into an absolute garbage shitshow it sounded like the audio was being passed through an "underwater" filter then transmitted through a tin can and string telephone. Idk who decided this was a feature that was ready to be added to consumer products but it was absolutely moronic

You'd be hard pressed to find an imterpreter that can translate trumps incomprehensible babble into something most people can understand.

Do not attribute malice to that which can be explained by stupidity... But never fully discount it.

Deepfakes are already being used on an industrial scale for scams and conning people.

It's not a case of them needing regulating because they offend peoples sensibilities, it's because they're actively being used to harm people.

People are already struggling to afford to buy the unsustainable options. If an alternative is offered but the cheaper one is still available people are going to buy the unsustainable option because it's short term better than straining their paychecks even further.

The solution isn't shaming consumers for picking the cheaper, unsustainable option. The solution is taxing the ultra wealthy and the corporation's producing unsustainable food and using that money to subsidise sustainable options and massively undercut the unsustainable products.
