It’s fascinating to me how social norms can be so radically warped from one society to another. From my “normal” of not wanting others to see what’s under my pants, to this, to having a huge disk pierced into your bottom lip like those African tribes… There’s just so much diversity among us. It’s pretty cool. And sometimes weird. 😆

I guess this is clearly a matter of definition then. Is it one body of water (yes), or can the water be divided based on other characteristics (it clearly can), and is it beneficial to separate the water into different parts (clearly also to some benefit). We just gotta unite regarding how to divide the oceans (also already done). 😄

Open Source@lemmy.ml•LibreOffice Leave X/Twitter in favor of Mastodon
2·26 days agoI’m with you on this one. Can’t knock every single product owned by a company assuming all CEOs are Nazis…
But a big red flag is when a company sells itself to a billionaire, or goes public on the stock market. That’s when we should start to worry.

12·30 days agoWhen will people stop trusting AI and double check its findings before acting? My god.
Us pre-Bazzite Linux users are used to the age old adage, “don’t execute a command in the terminal you found online or were told to run, unless you understand fully what it does.”
Same with AI, how are people working at AWS with their insane salaries not able to double check these things.
AI should enlighten us about things we should be able to confirm. Not guide our decision-making completely.




I do, I do, it’s just… My pants to down to my ankles rather than my ankles going up to my “waist”. 😆
