I think it comes from the old (and IMO correct) notion that dogs are family animals: They need some level of attention throughout the day, they need space to run and play, etc.
Cats, then, filled the niche of providing companionship to lonely spinsters: you can leave to work every day, and mostly expect the cat to be there without major trauma and still sort of like you.
There is also the additional stereotype that cats are the preferred pet for reclusive people, because they don't require you to walk them every day. There's a reason the internet used to be full of lolcats, and gradually turned into good doggos as it became more filled with normies.
Nowadays, with the advent of WFH and the popularity of small dogs, there's a lot of Dog Moms, so the stereotypes might evolve further.
I stand corrected then. I tried to watch it but didn't stick with it personally.
Don't worry, it is, by all accounts, not a good show.
Also: does Macron always do this, take such a direct, visible hand in cultural products like that? IIRC he interfered in Mbappe's transfer saga too.
Not being French, I can't tell for sure, but he's 100% an attention whore drama queen: look no further than whatever is going on in French politics right now: He tried to make a 350 IQ 5D chess move, and ended up furthering the crisis.
The Tim Dillon Show during its peak (somewhere between 2019-2022) seemed made in a lab with explicit purpose of making me laugh.
Didn't Emily in Paris get shit for its unrealistic portrayal of Paris? And that was just a random show. It didn't get 13 Oscar nominations which naturally puts more of a spotlight on things
Emily in Paris is not a random (terrible) show. It is a worldwide phenomenon, to the point that the actual French president complained that they were moving it to Rome for the next season. By comparison, Emilia Perez is an oscarbait movie that everyone will forget in a couple years.
If Americans are so adamant about a jewish state they should give them a small plot of land.
Man, I wish that deal was on the table. I'd take a Jewish state in the Patagonia (not the nicest part, though) every day of the week.
I have read that there are voices within Israel itself which are critical of the current approach because it is, in a sense, cowardly: It seeks not to maximize the effectiveness of the operation, but rather to minimize the Israeli casualties, relying too much on airstrikes and not enough on outright occupation.
Don't have enough knowledge of either Israeli politics or warfare to know if the claim is real or true, though.
(robotics / multimodal stuff for complex manual labor might take another 12-18 months, but no longer)
This seems awfully optimistic (or pessimistic, I don't know), you have to actually get the materials, build the robots, deploy them, and real world feedback is much slower.
I'd say it takes 5-10 years.
Also why is Facebook up when their open-source models have been so thoroughly trounced? Google and OpenAI/Microsoft have stuff comparable to R1.
Because Meta's AI strategy was trying to prevent the other big players from building a moat, and Deepseek seems to be doing their work for them.
Are there significant land migratory flows to the US from anywhere in South America but Colombia and Venezuela?
The big issue is Colombia as a transit hub for people from countless other countries
It is?
Then why are you asking, man?
Maybe I don't have enough context, but yes? He certainly seems to be hated by the most libertine parts of the LGBT community.
For those kind of games, a lot? But they are multiplayer games: They have short, repetitive gameplay loops, and the fun is derived from competition with others.
It's true these types of videogames dominate nowadays, but part of that is that they're the most profitable kind of game (because, if successful, they get a lot more play-hours with (relatively) very little new development).
I think to have a good feel on this, you need to disassemble the problem:
- Is the median gay man closer to Andrew Sullivan (or maybe, less extremely, to a Queer Eye for the Straight Guy character) or to an assless-chaps wearing degenerate?
- What is the normies' perception of what the median gay guy is?
- What is their opinion on the gays across this AS-AC spectrum?
My intuition is that normies have a mostly good opinion of gay people, but that part of it is based on them thinking that the average gay guy is more "normal" than what they actually are.
Most girls are shy by default (at least when it comes to dating), particularly the ugly ones.
I am sympathetic to the idea of a bachelor tax, but it seems like it would either end up being a cruel punishment on the unattractive. And if you add some sort of loophole, it is bound to get exploited (see: professional rejecters)
When you're given too many choices (and particularly when some of those choices are sort of fake), your standards for "undesirable" grow to the point to which you end up alone instead of with someone that could be good enough if both parties could put an effort (which they won't, because they have "choices").
Then there's the issue of dating apps, they are just too frictionless: you can swipe like 300 people if you so wish, conversations will end abruptly for the slightest reason, plans will be cancelled at the last moment, etc.
This means that, even if you're engaging them in good faith, your incentive is to actively get many matches, and then you're suddenly setting up dates with n different girls, and then rather than having to individually reject the ones you like the least, your incentive is to ghost them.
It's all some sort of terrible prisoners' dilemma that brings the worst out of both sexes.
I think one could make a very reasonable argument that both women and men shouldn't have choices (or at least, not that many).
Can't we reach a compromise in which he's not banned, but we're free to call him a Jeet?
2 is just 3 with extra steps, right? Whoever is predisposed to coom themselves to death will do so, and those that remain will find some lifestyle or purpose enabled by the AI overlords.
Edit: I guess the question is if such a thing is possible a few generations in: We who exist in the world as it is, have absorbed powerful memes that lead us to not want to just rot away, but children born into a world of absolute abundance might not find them very convincing.
Wait, is it really a Trump protest song? That's hilarious, Truffaut was indeed right.
Ohhh, I was very confused as to what was supposed to be happening to the northern Spanish province that limits with Portugal.
Galicia?
