How so? Wouldn't more posts/comments be a good thing for Lemmy?
I honestly think that bot is not as reliable as it seems…
If it's not, report bugs on the Lemmy-federate github or !lemmyfederate@lemy.lol
They might want to do it under a different username. I have a feeling the devs don't like them very much.
Others accepted that sex was necessary but tried to come up with methods to remove or decrease the pleasure.
Ever heard of Mormons "soaking?" LOL:
"According to Men's Health, soaking is when a man puts his penis inside of a female partner's vagina. They then lay in the bed and have someone else shake the bed to cause movement"
They think of it as a loophole to get around the whole "no sex before marriage" thing.
I learned about the Shakers and Quakers back in elementary school but can't remember much about them. I didn't know they were celibate. So I looked into it and there are only 3 left in the U.S.
- The number of Shakers in the U.S. rises to 3 (NPR.org, Aug. 2025)
A new person has joined the last active Shaker community in the U.S, bringing the Christian, communal, and celibate group to a total of three. They once numbered in the thousands.
Interesting. Thank for showing me a rabbit hole to dive down.
I really appreciate the info. Yikes! This isn't looking good.
I don't disagree with you about AGI but the timeframe is the big question. Will it come in a decade or a century? Impossible to know.
I have no doubts that AGI will eventually arrive unless we blow ourselves up
I was just about to say the same thing! I'm guessing it will take a bit longer than a decade and I'm not too optimistic about our chances of surviving that long. Well, at least surviving with all of our technology intact.
with all the fake money going around in circles (assuming those diagrams are correct, which I assume they are)
I'm not familiar with those. Do you have one handy or maybe some keywords so I can look it up?
Can we get a TL;DR for those who hate clickbait, please?
Is this sarcasm or do you really believe it?
It's from George Orwell's book 1984 so he definitely listened to the audio book and said, "I wanna be like that!"
Edit: I was mistaken. The quote from 1984 is "war is peace." It's similar though.
It's actually a pretty bad idea. Trolls would use it as a weapon. Argue with them and they'll make an alt with your username then do stuff to get you (rather, your username) permabanned from Lemmy.
