    Do you think 20 is too young for a guy to get married?

  • Live with someone for at least a year before you marry them. You don't truly know if you can be with someone until you share a home and responsibilities.

  • I used to torrent frequently, but rarely software.Since I graduated and started making adult money I haven't really at all. When I want to vote with my wallet, I just don't play it at all (usually these are live service games anyways).

    Although I'm going to start torrenting music and video again on principle.

  • That makes sense, its like overdosing on pot.

    The last bit about radiation decreasing cancer risk in low (but still elevated) doses seems pretty suspect though. Where did you find that research?

    Jump

  • That's true for radiation poisoning. I'm asking about increased risk of cancer.

    Lots of those things in our natural environment that you mention do increase our risk of cancer, with long-term exposure

  • I guess a better way to phrase it would have been

    How many daily bananaHours do you need long-term to increase your risk of cancer by 5%?

  • I'm aware of BeD, which is the inspiration for the post.

    But I'm not talking about radiation poisoning, because we'd know if spending a day in a banana plantation was fatal.I'm wondering about increased risk of cancer form long term banana plantation exposure.

  • Almost certainly. But I'm not going to eat thousands of bananas in a day.

  • Folks here are like "everyone uses it. Eventually all gamers realize it's better"

    Me, having never even heard of this in my 30 years of gaming: 🫣

  • Someday pornhub will be replaced by some AI generative porn site and people will talk about it in casual conversation only Ill have no idea because I've yet to let the intrusive thoughts win.

  • I bet it'll be great for people who are willing to sacrifice their personal data and the environment.

    Because I mean, it'll learn your tastes and create hyper-personalized videos for exactly your tastes.But theyll also have a hyper-specific record of the kinds of things you like. How many people gonna give it access to all their chat histories and shit. God can you imagine the potential for leaks (pun intended)?

  • What happened to nuance discussion?

    Jump

  • In my experience when I try to have a nuanced take, people (intentionally?) misinterpret my nuance and use it to put words in my mouth and build a straw man.

    Also hot takes are just way more entertaining, and what is social media if not a new form of entertainment?

  • Of all modern Sci-Fi Dystopia depicted in movies, which do you think our world will most resemble or already does resemble?

    Jump

  • Not too far away yet.

    There is a squid games reality show which is based on a game where they kill people, and they pretend to kill them in the show so it's being normalized.

    And Mr beast has his gameshow which is similar, where they treat the contestants inhumanly just for the convenience of the production.
