  • Would you rather be reincarnated into a world of magic or reborn as yourself (with your current knowledge fully intact)?

    Jump

  • You said "with your current knowledge still intact". If that means I can know beforehand which things I've already invested in which didn't pay off and those which did (and I mean relationships, careers, life choices, not necessarily money) that alone would be a massive perk. You want to give me physical perks on top of that, I'm not complaining. But the deal was already a no brainer.

    If there isn't knowledge remembered then I'm a bit ambivalent about which of the two. I think I might go for magic but if you strip all memory away I would have nothing to compare it to.

  • I've watched this anime, read the manga, totally forgot about the character's appearance and didn't get the reference either. I was wondering if he was supposed to be some public figure who did something horrible to their wife, daughter, dog, and as usual I missed the news

  • Nancy - May 26, 1948

    Jump

  • I once saw heard a 4wD crash right on the neighbors' solid brick wall, right across the street. The cops were chasing the car, which was stolen, and arrested the driver. My 16y/o chicken self got so scared with all the noise that I didn't dare to peek through the window for a good ten minutes. When I finally did, I thought the hole in the wall looked surreal. The impact also damaged the garage door. I can't even begin to imagine the insurance shitshow that must have been.

  • Well... It's a cool thing that we found but the photos aren't amazing as photos. I wouldn't flex my photography skills in a photography community with these

  • What do you consider "rage bait"?

    Jump

  • I consider rage bait anything that purposefully riles people up without any productive outcomes. Say, you can have a heated argument with someone because you have an interest in the topic and/or seeing other people's points of view (even if you strongly disagree), but if your purpose is just for the sake of getting reactions, well, that's ragebaiting.

    It overlaps with trolling, but trolling is more broad- you can troll to make people confused, shocked, to mock someone in particular, etc. Trolling includes also getting people into gotcha moments, engaging in a heated argument just to be annoying to one person in particular, trolls like to see people make fools out of themselves. Ragebaiting doesn't necessarily have that, it's more about getting the crowd to express their annoyance at something, not necessarily your actions.

    Jump

  • Good composition, especially for a 4yo, does not qualify as Renaissance in my opinion but, good job.

  • Oh no, who ever saw this coming. Who would have guessed.

  • How would you evaluate having more pay vs an easier job?

    Jump

  • Easy, do I get a sense of achievement with this job? Is it part of my identity in a healthy way? Then, raise

    Do I just do the job because I need a way to pay the bills? Then, simplify. Less stress has a massive health impact

    Am I desperate to pay bills and debts? Probably raise and side hustles and overtime I don't know

  • How would you evaluate having more pay vs an easier job?

    Jump

  • Not sure I'm following your point. If someone doesn't give me a raise, doesn't cut hours but I get my job simplified- what's the problem with that? The only caveat I could see is if you have a job that you liked because of the challenge, and having it easier now equals it is unfulfilling. Similarly if you see an easier job as future reduced opportunities. But, if you just have a job to survive or that you are ambivalent about, I don't see where the problem is.

  • With all these new AI watermark removers, how are we supposed to know what is OC anymore and not some prompt made slop that is done well?

    Jump

  • Watermarking never meant to be a legitimate way of telling this stuff apart. Anyone slightly savvy could run a generator locally and produce images without watermarking, if they really meant to fool others. You are right in that the watermarking makes it (or did) more difficult for the average joe, but yeah. This is a never was kind of scenario

  • 3 years on lemmy, still kicking

    Jump

  • Can relate. Did you meet people in person from here or did you find out people you know in person are also on Lemmy?

  • Does this sound weird to you?

    Jump

  • Chill, happens more often than you think. I work at a mall and there is one level in which the male and female toilets are switched compared to every other floor, the one closest to the lifts is women's, the next is men's but in the other levels it's the opposite. I've walked into the wrong one more than once

  • Is there a way to geht honest feedback on how you behave?

    Jump

  • Not sure if this applies to you but maybe you have heard a phrase about you that doesn't make sense fully. In my case, it was "you're intimidating" and that took me a long long time to understand because as a woman who has a lot of insecurities and can't physically fight this is absolutely ridiculous. Then one day I was watching some relationship guru video clip and the guy said "if you're told you're intimidating and can't make sense of it, it means you are hard to impress". That clicked. At least, within dating contexts. I don't know. I think most of the honest feedback I've gotten from potential dates, from boyfriends, from family members (though that required always a difficult argument beforehand and getting feedback was never the goal) and also from teachers who get fed up with your bullshit occasionally. It's never going to come to you from a comfortable source, but you shouldn't be asking your enemies either, because they'll lie too.

  • It doesn't sound fair to me. Why don't they sell the info of the management and higher ups only ,if that's the case? But no. As always, those who are most vulnerable always get hit the hardest and first.

  • What's the evolutionary advantage of very long hair on human heads?

    Jump

  • You aren't subject to every pressure every hominid ancestor ever was. Bald today still gets you laid, congrats! And you got hats to keep warm and look fabulous. :) I believe long hair must have presented some kind of advantage at some point though, there are some interesting comments here.

  • What's the evolutionary advantage of very long hair on human heads?

    Jump

  • Yes, I understand this and it is in my post as part of the question: is it just a showoff feature like peacock's feathers? I also understand traits that don't impact fitness won't be selected against.

    But I have the nagging feeling that the body does spend a fair amount of extra resources creating long hair when it could make do with just a fraction. Use it or lose it is a popular trend in the animal kingdom. You can have a very showy coat using a lot less resources, if we're talking about health markers only.

    But, fear not, there are theories that support long hair as having an actual practical function that impacts fitness, and people in the comments have posted some.

    What I like about these theories is that they aren't mutually exclusive. You can have a variety of factors that mildly favor the same trait, it's not always one single factor exerting clear pressure on things.
