In my experience I have come across people who presented as “stupid.” I have worked with rotating casts of temps at a couple of jobs - the “stupid” people are just as common in management as in the temps.

Usually I think it is because they are not present in their moment/don’t care about what is happening, so they aren’t really stupid but are just… vacant. Once you get them talking about a project they are actually passionate about, you can see the light of their intellect. Some folks however really do have a hard time understanding the world through logic, even when they are really trying.

To add to bougie birdie’s reply, a doctor would be able to actually diagnose you and determine if this is a nerve related issue, repetitive stress injury, or potentially early signs of a degenerative disorder such as arthritis, etc. The treatment for a repetitive stress injury, if that is what is causing your pain, could include things like specialized brace to immobilize certain parts of your hand so they can heal properly (especially important during sleep).

My partner had a repetitive stress injury that she had diagnosed and then didn’t see a therapist for (at first). Her injury did not heal even though she was not using that part of her hand until she finally went to an occupational therapist and got an appropriate brace (and instructions for tendon gliding exercises).

If either of your hands is getting sore from clicking with any sort of regularity you should probably mention it to your doctor - it sounds like it could be a repetitive stress injury in the making.

I can definitely see how a race of superintelligent industrialized beavers could be a bad thing for the world, so as far as the comic goes you are right lol.

As for real life beavers - whether beavers are conscious of it or not, the way they relate to the ecosystems they inhabit in some ways sets an example for humans to follow. We don’t need to limit ourselves to only living in North America and Scandinavia/Eastern Europe, but maybe we should try to farm in ways that intentionally promote species diversity. There could be other lessons to take as well, such as spending more effort farming appropriate locations (beavers spend considerable effort finding the right place to set up shop) - many farms around the world are located without much thought toward how they will relate to neighboring ecosystems.

I think on average beaver ponds promote more biodiversity than human farms, allowing for a larger number of specialized species to find homes. This article gives a breif view of how beavers help to boost biodiversity, including hosting beaver pond specialists. Some methods of farming promote biodiversity, but monoculture largely prevails - 80% of arable land plots are used for monoculture globally.

So we need to do better and strive to do as good of a job as the beavers do.

I shudder to think of the impact this could have on plants and animals. We have already seen horrifying mass environmental death in the oceans (see: coral bleaching) and other crazy biological imbalances like red tides. Soon we are going to be experiencing similar insanity everywhere. Not just the ocean, not just that other part of the world that you yourself don’t live in - everywhere.

It’s “super clocked” so you know it’s good!!

Pretty soon you’ll be hearing folks say things like “why are you worried if you don’t have anything to hide” as if personal privacy has no value whatsoever. It’s a slippery slope!!!

I’m not sure I would call the particular missile the article is referring to “retaliatory” since afaik Turkey has not attacked Iran.

The article makes no mention of homelessness and thus I find the title disingenuous/misleading.

It’s a good article though. I think the community would be better served with a title about how this study shows that we would be better off removing parking requirements from building codes.

I had to go and listen to this song because of how outrageous I thought this interpretation was… But it’s real!!!

From Rock and Roll All Nite by Kiss: I want to rock and roll all niiiite, and part of ev-er-y day!

My childhood best friend absolutely loved this song and sang it out loud ALL the time with these incorrect lyrics, I was totally convinced and would sing along with him. My mom thought it was HILARIOUS and so she never told us lol 😆

(The correct lyrics are and party ev-er-y day)

Ironic that Pakistan provided so much funding to the Taliban over the years only to one day see themselves fighting the Taliban. A familiar story…

Sounds like there will be more to come in this conflict. I really don’t see what Pakistani leadership hopes to solve long term by repeating mistakes of other countries (carrying out imprecise strikes with complete disregard for collateral damage) which led to intractable conflict rather than solutions in Afghanistan in the past.

Ah, the ultimate insult in 2026: accusing someone of behaving like an LLM. In hindsight my original comment probably had less value than the average LLM comment would smh 🤦

I understand the downvotes on my comment, I guess it was in poor taste, not every joke is a good joke. I am however genuinely confused by the intent behind your reply.
