What if I live in the UK? It’s pretty fucking shit here, too. Only real positive is that the Green Party are absolutely surging now. I’ve been Green for years, but I think I chose the best year to finally try and become a councillor. I live in hope that there are enough people left in this country with enough sense to vote someone in who actually gives a crap about fixing some of our problems, and not creating potential global wars…

prices come down.

Only if you exercise the proper technique.

“I love the uneducated”

You can still use it, but now you get to use it in the knowledge that you are now Steve Buscemi.

It annoys the shit out of me that they never made the “kids” section of youtube an entirely separate thing.

Like TV, they could curate the hell out of it and not just allow anyone to upload, but no, they instead made way too much money from elsagate videos and videos of kids swimming. Now that that’s gone, it’s now making money off of kids from AI slop.

Nice.

To idle along nicely, we need to reach about 800 revolutions per minute. So we need to increase our number of revolutions by about x1,100,000

(And I realise now I’ve inadvertently worked out that if I left my car idling for 24 hours, the engine would go through over 1.1million revolutions. Cool!)

I’m Jason Momoa 👀

I’ve seen this a few times and I will never not downvote it as it’s completely the wrong sentiment to take to someone throwing literal rocks at you, no matter your size.

Someone causing you harm isn’t going to suddenly stop harming you because you’re taking the high road, no, they’re going to continue with it and get more brazen with it because you just let them get away with it.

Forgiveness, when undeserved, only leads to toxic and abusive relationships with toxic and abusive people.

Dude, if you have one of two wolves inside you, that either makes you a furry, or you’re into bestiality. Either way, I’m not judging.

They could pay me and I still wouldn’t take it.

I boycotted back then and am happy to say I’ve stayed with it. Fuck EA.

Counting the negative chirps is the worst. Like, why is there a -20ch marker if it’s never -20?

I think it’s the attitude towards not having guard rails next to the canal: “Don’t cycle through the wet bit and you’ll be fine” 👍

That aspect seems very straight forward. Like you’re trusted to behave as an adult.

It’s all good 😂 and I think most of us here are tech savvy enough to understand how and why it happens. I’ve done it plenty myself in the past. 👍

Often, it’s not about the person you’re arguing against, it’s for the people watching who are on the fence.

If you can keep yourself calm, rational, and present convincing evidence, then you can save some people from falling into those conspiracy and religious holes from which they may never return.

Sometimes you get lucky and bring someone back from the brink.

It’s estimated about 2% of Americans believe Earth is flat, and a further 9% aren’t sure what shape it is.

2% of Americans is near 7,000,000 people. Near 40,000,000 don’t believe the Earth is a ball or are unsure.

Even if you can’t convince the 2%, that’s still roughly 33,000,000 people in America alone you could potentially help with critical thinking. We need all the help we can get.

Contradiction with religious folk is often boiled down to “if I don’t believe the contradiction exists then it must not exist!”

Guys, I think it’s $4.99 right now!

I know. I’ve only ever seen hatred for MTG for years on social media. Don’t get me wrong, MTG is definitely sucking some rich cock, but with how quick these new sets come and go they may as well install a revolving door!

As a driving instructor myself: you’re the person I warn my learners about 👍
