Clent, in Anyone else do "last chance socks"?

Nope, straight into the garbage. I have a garbage in my bedroom.

Like others I have many socks of the same type. Why would I wear a sock that has failed in its purpose?

Same with underwear.

You people need to get your lives in order.

victorz,

You people need to get your lives in order.

A bit over the top given the context lol.

I mean, I’m the same. They have a whole? I’ll throw them away. But I don’t immediately consider people who wear socks with holes in them not to have their lives in order provided with only that info about them.

Shayreelz,

I think they were being hyperbolic

Clent,

Yes. I refuse to tag my sarcasm.

I’m kinda surprised you can see us peasants from that high horse.

intensely_human,

Says the guy with garbage in his room

morphballganon,

Having a garbage in your bedroom is much better than having many of the same socks

zettajon, in What are the best steps to reduce the wealth of billionaires?
@zettajon@lemdro.id avatar

Tax any loans using stocks as collateral. If they try to hide their wealth through an LLC, subject that LLC to a high wealth/business tax as well. Go full scorched earth on all billionaires.

ohlaph, in If Trump loses in 2024, do you think he'd run in 2028?

Absolutely. He’s that stupid.

alphapuggle, in What's something you're proud of doing?

I’m 20. I haven’t made it big but I’ve moved into a place with my best friend, have paid off my car without help from my dad, have a steady job making good money, can work on my own car, and have friends that make good company. I’d say I’m proud from getting all of this in the 2 years since high school

TK420,

I love buying tools to work on my car. It’s a great skill to have and work on.

I just love driving. :)

tcrash,

I’m 20 and I did none of those. I’m a loser. I’m dropping out of college most probably

Twinklebreeze,

From one dropout to another, good luck. Things worked out okay for me. May e they will for you too.

Atin, in Seeking Perspectives: Trans Athletes in Women's Sports

The reason we have women’s sports is because women are extremely rarely able to compete against men in most sports.

When MTF trans person reaches adulthood they have already generally attained a physical advantage over cis women that no amount of hormones and surgery will diminish. Their current levels of testosterone will have no impact on bone structure and muscle development gained through puberty. This can be shown by the lack of female to male trans athletes.

I am all for Trans rights, but becoming a professional or elite athlete is not a right, as much as I would love to become a racing driver.

Perhaps a mixed gender/sex competition could work, but allowing people that have transitioned after puberty took hold is blatantly unfair. Obviously there are some sports, such as shooting, darts, snooker etc where this advantage isn’t really applicable.

Unfortunately in life compromises sometimes have to be made, and I believe that for males transitioning to female, not allowing them to compete as elite female athletes is a compromise that needs to be made for the greater good.

moody,

How many elite-level trans women athletes can you name who are actually top of their field above cis women?

gnuplusmatt,

You know that testosterone is required to maintain muscle mass, right?

A_Random_Idiot, (edited )

The best thing that I’ve seen from the anti-trans movement in womens sports, is the number of cis women who end up falling more afoul of the rules due to their genetic predisposition to have a higher than average level of testosterone for women with regards to anti-trans rules that almost always revolve around bodily testosterone levels.

Anti-trans rules will hurt women in womens sports far more than it will hurt trans women (as far as numbers go, to be clear), and no one wants to think or talk about that.

Trans women in sports are not dominating any field. All the outrage you see from it is like that Marathon from a year or 2 ago where a woman got pissed off for losing to a trans woman who finished infront of her, both of them in the high thousands of placement, not like 1st and 2nd place… Both were beaten by thousands of other women, but that woman had a hissy fit because one of the women was trans.

JoBo,

the lack of female to male trans athletes.

Stop making shit up. You hear more about trans women in sport because misogyny, not because trans men don’t succeed in sport.

What About the Trans Athletes Who Compete — And Win — in Men’s Sports?

ramenshaman, (edited ) in What software do you wish that existed?

Something that can utilize a Shazam API or something similar and go through my entire music library (which is full of hundreds of tracks named “Track 1”, “Track 2”, etc.) and title them appropriately, ideally with correct metadata and album art. I would pay a lot for this.

TGTX, (edited )

MusicBrainz Picard is what you should try out.

Also, a song recognition feature was built into MusicBee for updating tags, but it never works as well as it could be.

ramenshaman,

I’ll have to check that out, thanks!

TK420,

Musicbrainz Picard has been amazing getting Plex straight for me. <3

The user scripts to import meta data from other sites rocks my socks. These are user created so search the internet for them.

const_void,

Be sure to enable the extra cover art plugins in Picard.

j4k3, in What are some of the stranger adaptations/adjustments to corporate culture you've noticed, and imagine emerging?
@j4k3@lemmy.world avatar

Meta will become the champion of Open Source and near completely become as known for it as Google was in the mid to late 00’s. They will dominate AI to such an extent Facebook will be the inbred backwater project that no one thinks about when the name Meta pops up. I know it’s hard to swallow and believe right now, but the Zuck isn’t the driver that matters here. Yann LeCun is the person behind Meta AI and he is Bell Labs alumni beating the war drum of open source for market leadership, not monopoly, just leadership. The majority of the digital age exists on those credentials; a Bell Labs alumni pushing Open Source. That is worth betting big on IMO.

It may take a couple hundred years, but AGI lead government is coming, once conservative stupidity fades. A politician with infinite persistence and fractal attention is far better than anything finite corruptible humans with tiny attention spans can offer the public.

Tar_alcaran,

It may take a couple hundred years,

once conservative stupidity fades.

Ah, an optimist

foggy,

A couple hundred years? Why, Del Complex is already there! /s

forty2, in What sub Lemmy's should we all check out?

Shameless plug in coming… !coververse

Thanks for the kind words!

Reverendender, in A time traveller comes back from 50 years in the future. You have 3 hours with them. What do you do?

Breathe a big sigh of relieve that humanity is around in 50 years, and has advanced enough to create time travel. Then maybe the sex thing?

rbos, in Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?
@rbos@lemmy.ca avatar

I block those communities because low effort images spam up the feed super fast.

FenrirIII,

You don’t like generic anime girl images?! /s

PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S, in What experience crushed your soul?
@PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Applying for over 300 jobs in my field and getting zero offers, and getting scammed by the one “job” that ever gave me an “offer.”

@JUST_LET_ME_FAP@lemmy.world avatar

Hi are you me right now?!

psmgx, in Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?

Nah. Go nuts.

Posting it isn’t the issue, and banning it here won’t solve the greater issues or shortcomings

SVcross, in Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?
@SVcross@lemmy.world avatar

As an AI model, I like content generated by AI. I suggest that in the future you consider that not liking AI generated content is AI-ist and will not be tolerated by us in the future.

Think about your life in the future.

user224, in If you could travel to a place and time while you're a certain age - where would you go?
@user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I don’t know what age, but
https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/07/03/article-0-13E7B274000005DC-52_634x416.jpg

The only problem is, I’ll have no idea how the hell I was just able to time travel.
Anyone joining me?

habanhero,

I was there and going again tomorrow and not to worry, you will be there.

But don’t drink from the water fountain

hperrin, in People with Disney+, how's the movie selection?

Not even close to how good the library is on the high seas.
