the Ancient Greeks understood virgin as “unmarried” not “chaste”
Not true. The Ancient Greeks translated the Hebrew Bible using a word that meant either young, unmarried or chaste depending on the context. That’s where this misinfo comes from.
Priestesses of virgin goddesses still had to be chaste.
I have so many filters just to block depressing news… Also to block strange hive mind posts about beans etc.
That’s one thing you can do here that you (no longer) can on Reddit
I’m surprised it’s a hot take. I prefer my grandma saying rizz and being hip over boomer humor and being a fossil
I don’t get what’s wrong… Your past posts also use improper grammar. Are you just stuck up on the slang of your generation?
It’s GenZ slang, originally black vernacular See here: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ahh

Dyslexic fonts don’t help dyslexia, and the internet’s idea of how dyslexia works is wrong.
https://dyslexiaassociation.org.au/do-dyslexia-fonts-work/
But the new fonts—and the odd assortment of paraphernalia that came before them—assume that dyslexia is a visual problem rooted in imprecise letter recognition. That’s a myth, explains Joanne Pierson, a speech-language pathologist at the University of Michigan. “Contrary to popular belief, the core problem in dyslexia is not reversing letters (although it can be an indicator),” she writes. The difficulty lies in identifying the discrete units of sound that make up words and “matching those individual sounds to the letters and combinations of letters in order to read and spell.” In other words, dyslexia is a language-based processing difference, not a vision problem, despite the popular and enduring misconceptions.
Researchers put the font to the test, comparing it with two other popular fonts designed for legibility—Arial and Times New Roman—and discovered that the purportedly dyslexia-friendly font actually reduced reading speed and accuracy. In addition, none of the students preferred to read material in OpenDyslexic, a surprising rebuke for a font specifically designed for the task.
The idea of making fonts more legible is good, but it doesn’t help dyslexia specifically.

“code local and push remote” is only more efficient if you have a faulty connection with ssh or want to use a GUI editor that doesn’t support remote connections. What you’re doing is good. You can scoure for more “modern” ways that might have more glimmer and sparkly lights, but it won’t improve efficiency.

It wasn’t “OpenAI AI”. It was just “OpenAI”. Responsibility falls on them
Please include the word “Trump” in your title so my filter removes it next time, American. Thanks
That’s like saying the GPL goes against FLOSS because it’s a “big spooky license” people have to read before contributing
Zhu has lived in four tech houses, and her view of them as utopic spaces for entrepreneurs was shattered by her experience.
How does it take four houses for someone to have their view “shattered”?
Yeah, I’m not using this.
So hard to just say “no AI”
OP is asking if the intensity of the smell or taste can inherently destroy your sense of it.
You could activate every single taste bud on the tongue or every single olfactory neuron in your nose to max feels and suffer no lasting damage. Your taste buds and smell neurons get replaced regularly. Your eyes and ear hairs don’t. You don’t need to drink bleach to know how it tastes. You can make a safe equivalent made with non-dangerous chemicals that activate all the same spots. You can’t do the same for light or sound.
It’s not supposed to work for us. I’m shocked by the honesty. AI is good for “the system”, at the expense of individuals. I’m a little annoyed the clip cuts off there.
