For the curious, I got two responses with different calculations and different answers as a result. So it could take anywhere from 1.5 to 7.5 billion butts to swarm mount everest. Again, I'm not checking the math because I got the answer I wanted.

Well yeah. I'm not gonna verify how many butts it takes to swarm mount everest, because that's not worth my time. The robot's answer is close enough to satisfy my curiosity.

If you believe women are lesser creatures whose bodies you control, what would change your mind about that?

I actually agree with you. Men did a terrible job of things, and now we have to deal with the patriarchy. Movements like 4B have been a long time coming, but I worry that men as a whole aren't mature enough to clean up their act. Time will tell.

I appreciate the reminder that beauty is subjective. It's been a good while since I've seen an opinion so inflammatory that had nothing to do with politics.

It wasn't terribly off topic, no. But the "design similarities" point is pretty weak and not related to the matters at large. To address it though, I fundamentally disagree that ip theft or patent theft or anything else we can boil down to "OC donut steel" is a serious issue. Creativity is iterative, nothing is original, and pretending otherwise is silly. We make a big deal of these things because money is involved, but that doesn't compel my opinions whatsoever. Stickman drawings have been copied since humans could draw, and we've been iterating on them ever since. If someone claims to own the Stickman design, they're a dumbass. Incidentally, that's what happened with Nintendo claiming they own the concept of throwing a thing that summons another thing. The whole ordeal is ridiculous and only serves to stifle creative endeavors for monetary security.

I'm sure you've already heard these things and chosen to ignore them. That's your prerogative. I downvoted you because I think you're wrong and making a bad point. That's mine. Others feel the same way. People agreeing with the sentiment doesn't make them a hive mind. It means they've made similar observations about the same phenomenon. You're dehumanizing people by calling them a hive mind because they disagree with you. I'm calling you wrong because I think your opinion is wrong. You are allowed to be wrong, though. Your opinion is still perfectly valid and agreeable to many, many people. They are not a hive mind, but they are likeminded with you. That's okay. I encourage you to continue to voice your opinions despite opposition because I sincerely think that's a good thing for you to do. But try to remember that every single one of us (sans any possible bots) is actually a whole human with their own mind and reasons for doing what they do, even if you don't like them for doing it.

I just want you to know that I saw your comment, said "oh, that's off topic and an overall bad take", and then downvoted. That's when I noticed your score was negative and not positive. I'm not part of a hive mind, friend. You just had/have a bad take imo.

The difference between addition and multiplication is tricky to understand.

I hope someone mods it back in.

I think you're dead on. I have nothing else to add, but it's refreshing to see a non-doomer take.

It’s fucking stupid to turn your back on your family over politics

It's really not. Politics determine your opinions and intentions regarding human rights and its violations. If my dad votes for Robodolf Mechahitler, he's not my dad anymore. Someone voting for Trump would likely betray their own daughter when Gilead rises. If they wouldn't, their vote is a contradiction to their character. I wouldn't take something like this lightly.

It's not that long. You'll be okay.
