For context this is one of the videos I watched that got me trying to understand, I’m not even sure I know enough to properly explain, it just didn’t sound reasonable to me. Like a lot of mental level flaws that makes me think I’m just not smart enough to understand.
I do appreciate the response, thank you!
I really tried to understand how people obviously a lot more intelligent than I am actually believe this kind is stuff. It really breaks down for me when claims are made that past, present (debated now), and more specifically future is different based on the observer. Like yeah, it takes time for signals to travel, that in no way means something that hasn’t happened already has. We can observe things in the past, we can’t observe anything in the future. There’s no evidence that anything can be viewed in the future, it doesn’t make any practical sense to me.
I was about to bring reference to Luigi into the discussion you help clarify the point you were trying to make to the other individual because it was an active example and noticed at the very end of your comment that you did so yourself. Like you I’ve struggled with accepting this in the past but it seems perfectly situated for the current landscape of states attempting to function under a corrupt fascist federal regime. In the past a state would commonly not pursue charges that were satisfied by federal procedure but that was because generally those procedures were able to be respected by the state’s.
I run a pihole as the other commenter stated.
My kids, 10 and 14, are very anti corporate greed and I couldn’t be more proud. They also complain when they aren’t on the local WiFi if they are playing mobile games because the ads don’t get blocked. A couple years ago my youngest asked me to turn ads on so he could hatch monsters or something faster, I bypassed his device and a couple months later he was complaining that the game is a time sink full of ads and he doesn’t want to play it anymore and wants ad blocking re-enabled.
They aren’t perfect and I have never tried to preach to them too much. Not really sure where I was going with this but your post reminded me how much I appreciate that my boys actively avoid and protest against playing games with ads and micro transactions at such a young age and I felt like sharing with someone.
I would be curious if groups would have formed had twenty or more people been shipwrecked instead of a small group.
Because I have no desire to socialize with hateful bigots
I tried to hang out with mine at a backyard bbq and discovered they’re all maga fox consuming cult members. Made me like where I live less so now I actively avoid seeing them
I’m impressed you got your windshield replaced in one hour on Black Friday
Probably an express lane that allows through traffic to not need to deal with on-ramp/off-ramp congestion
Trauma pads could be used but distributing the impact so it’s blunt force trauma instead of a bullet wound is going to be significantly less deadly. A helmet has room between the skull and cap. A lot of times people won’t even wear all their Kevlar because weight, heat, and mobility. First goal is to stay alive so you have to be able to function in addition to surviving a round.
The person you were replying to was saying it’s already common to contract out devs, not that it’s common to pay royalties.
I completely understand bad parents, I’m no contact with mine for much different reasons so I can’t directly relate but I can empathize a bit I think. I appreciate you sharing your story and I’m glad nothing happened with that gal while you were so young. Thank you for sharing the story, feels kind of comforting in a way that also makes me feel like shit for feeling comfort in hearing about others stories/situations.
The scarier part to me I think is that you absolutely could have. My cousin was in middle school in the 90’s, he graduated high school in 2001 at 18 for context. My aunt and uncle were divorced and would drop him off at the airport to fly to each other on the other side of the country. He was like six or seven when they started and it went on for a decade until his dad moved back close to graduation.
Holy shit, that’s insane
To give you another data point: It’s what teens and young adults would do in the small ass town in Nebraska I grew up in (80s-90s). Not sure if it’s still a thing as I’m never going back.
Hi Mateo! Huge fan!
Looks coincidental to me, it’s just a large bulbous compartment on top of what would otherwise look like a regular planes nose. Be interesting to hear interviews though, I wouldn’t be surprised if an external party to the design team discovered the similarity, I work with aerospace engineer’s and they are typically so in the weeds and technical that I would actually be shocked if they realized the similarity before someone else pointed it out. Not trying to throw shade or anything, incredibly smart and educated folks.
