It doesn’t look like the spot where the sticker is, is even fabric. Just straight plastic.

It’s weirder that every living thing on the planet’s DNA isn’t super different from anything else’s. We all share bits of DNA with other animals and even plants. Like humans share about 50% of the same dna as a banana.

Only at a concentration of 90% or higher and over a sustained period of time. 70% iso (the most common you find for sale) won’t hurt the backpack just cleaning off the sticker.

Nail polish remover or even some isopropyl usually works, too. Both dissolve typical adhesives and cost significantly less.

I like South Park mostly, but the way they have handled LGBTQ+ stuff often wildly misses the mark.

Maybe? I think it would have to include threats but I am not 100% on that. Like, it might be okay to unsheathe it to show it off, like if you were selling it and the buyer wanted to check it for damage. 🤷‍♂️

It is legal to carry swords in California, but only if they are sheathed. “Open carry” only applies to firearms here, so bows are okay to be carried around in the open.

How are you supposed to know you’ll like a book if you can’t read some of it?

Judge it by its cover, obviously.

Are you using an app or the web interface?

The reply below just shows “DELETED” on Connect, and I know from other posts that if a mod deletes them, it links to the modlog entry for the deletion (in Connect, I mean)

I am finding it interesting that what is displayed in the app is different than the web interface. Not sure why the text wouldn’t be exactly the same.

Couldn’t enamled metal work just as well? It’s not like you shit into bare porcelain; it’s enamaled.

The thing on this woman’s head:

They’re a hair care thing particularly for the kind of hair POC have. OP is asking if it would be like cultural appropriation or offensive to wear one as a white person.

I don’t know if I should feel any more than an insect or other animal. The brain matter isn’t like taking an actual animal’s brain and making it a computer; they’re growing synapses in a lab so even if they were conscious, I feel like it wouldn’t be much different to them as anything else that has always been that thing. Like they wouldn’t have any more of an existential crisis being a computer than we do about living in our own bodies.

Now if they grew sapience that might be something to empathize with.

Once they start integrating actual brain matter into machines, maybe. But IDK if that would necessarily answer the question of if a machine could develop consciousness, like as in just silicon alone. Is it a machine if it’s just a lab-grown brain attached to electronics? 🤔

I am skeptical that silicon alone would ever develop consciousness, personally.

Not with our current methods of AI, no.

Are you one of those albino ghost dudes from The Matrix?

I’m not respeccing, just leveling it up. It says I can do that.

The contracts almost always have a clause that says they can change the terms and conditions at any time. There is no such clause saying you can do the same, but you probably could; they just wouldn’t agree to it.

Tho, depending on what you’re talking about: It might not be a real contract (see: terms of service agreements for software where you never sign anything).

No such thing as a literal universal key

Ever hear of skeleton keys?

These are some of the cheapest locks you can get and all just use a single tooth to turn the latch.
