Ha I was writing another comment on this thread when this got posted, but I just feel like it's important, relevant to that, to say that the hairs didn't evolve FOR any specific purpose.

This is funny, and really speaks to a fundamental issue we have during education as to assigning agency for what amount to"random" events.

OP is presumably educated and intelligent, and the takeaway they had was that bees "are pollinators" which is true with regard to our interest in them, but definitely implies agency that they are intentionally pollinating, which (I am pretty sure) isn't true.

It feels like the same question that gets asked in a million different ways of "why did XYZ evolve that way when ABCD?" (Because evolution is random and tends toward selecting for energy conservation. Not to "achieve" some specific goal.)

What the fuck are all these comments?

It's an article about an unresolved and recurring problem with a popular drive that the ostensibly reputable manufacturer is trying to hide.

But 90% of the comments are people jerking themselves off about how smart they are for using RAID, which is irrelevant to the point of the article... But never miss an opportunity to pleasure yourself in public I guess?

Good point. You changed my opinion about your earlier comment.

Are you sure?

The OP was. Your post was about your libido falling, which is what he said didn't happen to him.

No, of course not! That was a joke.

...Nor do I think self-amused tweets count as political news.

One wouldn't know, because this is the same low effort Jeff Tiedrich style clapback tweet that is posted constantly regardless of context.

That is to say, I would love it if there was actual content posted here that informed me of what I now have a vague awareness of, and then I can jerk off to the imaginary conversations people are having with Republicans in, again, every other community.
