  • Eradicating poverty is the thing to aim for, but .... reducing the wealth of the wealthiest people ....will not move the needle toward that goal, at all.

    I'm BARELY paraphrasing you. My exaggerations of your statements are so slight they're nearly direct quotes.

    You speak like an LLM that was asked to respond as Friedrich Hayek fighting to defend the free market against socialism: convincing and yet devastatingly incorrect.

  • Life and relationships are complicated. You don't know how all the work is distributed in their lives. Maybe she does everything else and feels like he should do more. Maybe he does it all and is frustrated. Maybe they split the chores in a way that makes them all happy. You simply don't know.

    Stop giving advice when you don't know.

  • Elon Musk’s Optimus Robot shuts down after reproducing the gesture of its human operator removing their headset [00:05]

  • The worst part of this gif is that if you look closely, the robot puts its hands down after it removes the helmet gently like a human would. Yet even with this seemingly gentle motion it crushes and bursts the water bottle. If someone put their hands on the table they'd be broken.

    You can't replace people with Tesla robots because these things are fundamentally unsafe. If there was a human serving water that bottle would never have burst. Water bottles would have been knocked down but no one would have gotten hurt. If someone had their hand there it would have been broken.

    A human wouldn't rip Grandpa's arm off to help them up. A human wouldn't smash your hand because you got in the way of a motion. A Tesla robot would. It literally just smashed a bottle open by accident. There are NO safety features in these things. They're as bad as Tesla cars where the slightest incident and you're drowning in front of your loved ones or burning alive in front of a fireman.

  • I love this post, I'd add that the reasons for this feeling is that humans aren't a very developed animal as a newborn. Many animals come out walking, not humans.

    What that means is that the first while the baby and mom are kind of finishing out that development. There isn't much you can do with the baby, whereas the mom is consumed by the constant needs of the baby for food etc.. so being a dad means mostly just helping.

    As the baby gets older the Dad job expands exponentially, and that's where your role as an independent caregiver starts to take over from your support role. And being a dad is amazing! Teaching kids about life, about themselves, about others, and about society is just the best.

    I still remember teaching my daughter about the existence of the moon in the sky vividly. How often is it that you get to show someone the freaking moon and they don't know about it?? She saw it and was mesmerised by it around the time she started speaking words and I pointed at it and said "Moon" and she said "Moon" and looked for it everytime we were outside. She's in high school now so she's hopefully learned more about the world by now!

    Anyways, I have the same tip as the guy above. The first year is hard for baby and mom (esp if breastfeeding) so do your best to help out. Try to snuggle your baby as much as possible, especially after feedings. Babies need a lot of touch, and moms often get "touched out" which sucks for everyone. Snuggling babies is great, and after feedings there is less chance that snuggling leads to hungry baby and passing the baby to mom. Try to save a few hours here and there for yourself, for maintaining a social life and support network because that's hard. If she's not breastfeeding FEED THE BABY. It's great bonding time and dads don't often get that. One of our kids couldn't breastfeed and he's still the closest to me now after a decade. I don't know if feeding was part of that, but it was great either way.

  • If you're looking for inclusive spiritual community you can look for Unitarian Universalist congregations. They're all over Europe and North America. They're based on progressive values instead of Scripture so you bring your own deity/pantheon/no deity. They're basically a spiritual community for the left from Pagans to Christians/Jews/Muslims to atheists and agnostics and everyone else.

    In my area there are a lot of ageing hippies and a lot of millennials and Gen Z looking for community for their children which is a delightful mix. Lots of LGBTQ+ representation as well.

    Could be a useful place to look!

  • Yes ravens vocalise... That doesn't make the original videos not AI slop.

    Thanks for finding a real video of a Russian crow. Maybe you could have posted that instead of slop. It's not the same crow because this one is clearly real. The channel also doesn't have your "new" video so I'm not sure why you're claiming it's the same crow. Neither the humans, nor the background, nor the vocalizations, nor the crow are even similar.

  • This is AI. The background is weird, especially when it's close to the lady or the Raven. You can look up this video and it's a dozen different YouTube channels with less than 1000 views with the identical clip.

  • Please help me under stand my spouse's gift and their hurt

    Jump

  • Fundamentally this gift is replacing something that has sentimental value to OP. That's not usually a desirable gift. If someone got you a gift that replaced your favorite [thing] in a way that replaces it you wouldn't want it either.

    Cheerfully accepting a gift you don't like is dishonest. Other replies have great honest and tactful ways to accept or reject a gift you don't like. Op's approach was hurtful to their partner which isn't great.

    Returning a gift is normal, that's why stores issue gift receipts. However, it is a situation that requires tact since it's easy to hurt someone if done poorly.

    In the long term, it should be easy for you and your partner to do something special for each other where no one has to fake enjoyment. In OP's case, effort spent communicating now will bring a lot of enjoyment in the future and save a lot of pain.
