are you ready for new era?

Fixed it for you:

@YourMom I don’t understand and it only makes it funnier 🤣

You've done dirty to my dear xkcd.

Everyone forgets the random guy in Nebraska selflessly maintaining that little piece at the bottom that holds everything without pay.

@CoreFusionX it makes me think, if you dig deep enough, you will find one guy in iowa or something, who, if he vanished or died, everything else, by an absurd logistics chain, and unlikely degrees-of-separation, would collapse gradually or all at once.

We should make it our mission to find him (or her), and pay the man to go live in the woods and let the rest of civilization burn.

@YourMom Hmm... wouldn't a dildo be against the dR Rules?

https://devrant.com/rules .

The sole reason I pixelated the hell out of my screenshots in one of the other rants I can't find, for the moment.

That said, don't mind me. Dildos don't offend me.

...made the comic even funnier.

@D-4got10-01 I dunno. I don't see it as pornographic. But there are also rules about politics that nobody seems to follow either. And there is harassment. People will literally bring up old drama in new posts. So people are breaking that rule as well. Then people post about elicit drugs. Which I think fall under illegal activities or some shit. And now, with draconian speech laws in play there is probably all sorts of shit we say in here that is illegal in some countries guv.

I think we are competing to break all the rules these days.

@YourMom Gotta catch 'em all, eh?

/jk

But really, I don't mind. Unmoderated is fine, especially w/ all the PC BS getting worse w/ each year. Seems like anyone is offended by everything these days. Like that jeans commercial getting flak because it's 'nazi propaganda'.

Hell.

@D-4got10-01 but what if I prefer looking at hot white chicks? lol

@YourMom Then you're probably looking for those teeny tiny chickens getting cozy on a stove.

/ jk

/* Yes... those chicks are yellow, oh well... close enough. */

@D-4got10-01 the only yellow ones I like are koreans... I don't know why, but they seem more attractive than chinese or japanese to me. There are of course exceptions.

Is this too much racism for one day?

@YourMom For me? Nah. For others?

Who cares?

@YourMom Hmm... That actual chicks on a frying pan joke was so prominent in my mind, that only know I see you were referencing the actual lass from the commercial.

Yeah - used to be the case that pretty people would be seen in ads.

Apparently she's !( woke || inclusive ) enough for some.

@D-4got10-01

"That actual chicks on a frying pan joke was so prominent in my mind, that only know I see you were referencing the actual lass from the commercial."

I saw where you went with that and decided to choose a racist segue instead.

"good genes" is a nazi concept. All evidence shows that evolution favours diverse groups with plenty of genetic variation to adapt to new niches.

Illnesses can and have been bred out of animal populations, but by doing so you are burning a lot of variance which causes other, purely genetic illnesses to surface.

The only genes that are desirable in a healthy partner, scientifically speaking, are whatever you don't have yet.

The ad in question legitimizes a concept that has been propagandized to hell without engaging with it, that's shitty mass communication, but it's hardly new, or unique. Ads capitalize on attention therefore they must be edgy.

Speaking of controversial ads, I learned about this incredible Heineken ad from the Enron era recently:

https://youtube.com/watch/...

Some people just take the ads too seriously.

They're meant to inform you about some product && possibly entice you to buy it.

Pretty people, especially women, seem to be raise sales.

Also this:

Actually, eugenesia has its merits.

If you have two healthy individuals with good genes, the chance of healthy offspring improves massively.

In fact, that's actually how fucking natural selection works.

Call me Nazi or whatever. Biology will still be biology.

It's just a non issue to us because we learned how to survive otherwise deadly conditions.

@CoreFusionX the key distinction is how you determine what "good" means. If you order people by a long list of more-or-less objective qualities and focus on the ones at the top, you're creating a really efficient inbreeding scheme. If you look for any healthy person who survives and has enough leftover energy to engage well in your choice of dating ritual, or if you have highly subjective standards beside these which are likely to balance out across the populace, then you are doing exactly what every other species is doing, and aren't breaking evolution.

The other part is that humans are uniquely extremely sensitive to inbreeding, probably due to a population bottleneck.

@CoreFusionX @lorentz

idk how a funny meme about AI resulted in justifications for eugenics

however

in AI "breeding" ("training") to find the most "efficient" or "smart" or "correct" answer requires to find a local minima. but you often have to cross troughs of not so good results to find it. and you don't know where it is until you do travel all these local Maxima's of suck

so all this communistic planning is quite the err of human

@lorentz

We are sensitive to inbreeding because that's harmful to the gene pool, so evolution made us automatically discard siblings as mates.

Eugenesia is actually natural selection. And surprise. It happens naturally, because it's natural.

Again. We (as species) beat nature long ago (and that will eventually be our downfall).

But, no matter how progressive or woke or whatever you wanna be, the fact stays that with two progenitors with good genes (and no, I never mentioned skin color, nor any other fenotype, because those don't matter), the child has the unholy and blasphemous power of probability to inherit good genes.

@CoreFusionX you're entirely missing my point then. Yeah, good genes are a thing in relation to survivability. Genes that cause illness or weakness are bad, genes that don't are good. Clearly though, the ad in question didn't refer to Sydney Sweeney not being ill. You have to be purposely ignorant not to see the Aryan joke. But as I said, I still think it was a lame joke, not actual Nazi propaganda.

@lorentz

At no point did I refer to the fucking ad.

They chose a fucking hot woman, and made a wordplay.

It's fucking fine. She is not a Nazi nor whatever. But we *do* live in a retarded world where success seems to deserve punishment.

Sorry, but no. That is a retarded world that I don't want to live in.

So I push to reinstate meritocracy.
