yes people come from reddit because it was ruined by corporate bs and immediately start simping hard for corporate propaganda, bogging down quality discussion

and it’s becoming the majority now, so just like reddit, you have to scroll so much further down a thread before the good info is found.

in other words: welcome redditors, pls leave the reddit bs at the door on your way in.

love this concept. ever found anything interesting?

so many classics listed already, some others…

• the one where a civillisation downloads their lives into picard. whole ep you’re wondering wtf is with picard this is slow as he lives some dudes life, then the reveal is amazing it’s so full of positivity and warmth - appropriately titled “the inner light”. hats off for capturing positivity so well onscreen (for some reason an elusive skill)

• when picard defends data’s rights as a sentient being

remember back when we didn’t listen to famous people’s opinions outside their field of expertise?

For science, medical and engineering degrees, online tuition is just going to produce people vastly underprepared for work in anything that requires the skills & knowledge the degree is meant to provide

our sensory capabilities are probably better than you think

however good our current capabilities are, it’s not exactly reasonable to think we’re at the apex. we don’t know everything - perhaps we never will, but even if we do it’ll surely be in 100, 1,000 or 10,000 years, rather than 10 years.

i’m not aware of any sound argument that the final paradigm in sensing capability has already happened.

there is really no scenario where this logic works

assuming you mean there’s no known scenario where this logic works? then yes, that’s the point - we currently don’t know.

this is asklemmy not a scientific journal. there can be value or fun in throwing ideas around about the limits of what we do know, or helping op improve their discussion, rather than shit on it. afaict they’ve made clear elsewhere in this thread they’re just throwing ideas around & not married to any of it.

not defending all op’s claims, but…

other cryptids

some cryptids are real. for example in the past 40 years, giant squid have quite literally moved from the pages of ‘fun’ ghosts and cryptid books into scientific journals. and this process has repeated many times throughout history with other animals.

everyone in here gleefully shitting on op (in a rather unfriendly fashion btw)

getting hung up on the 1:99 thing, when what they actually said was

As long as the percentage is not 100%

obviously i’m not saying op has presented firm evidence of the supernatural. but the irony of supposedly espousing the scientific method, while completely ignoring the critical part of op’s argument.

who here is claiming to know 100.000000% of all supernatural evidence is absolutely disproven? that would be an unscientific claim to make, so why infer it?

is the remaining 10^-x % guaranteed “proof” of ghosts/aliens? imo no, but it isn’t unreasonable to consider it may suggest something beyond our current reproducible measurement capacity (which has eg. historically been filed under “ghosts”). therefore the ridicule in this thread - rather than friendly/educational discussion - is quite disappointing.

it’s not exactly reasonable to assume we’re at the apex of human sensory capability, history is full of this kind of misplaced hubris.

until the invention of the microscope, germs were just “vibes” and “spirits”

Modern pedon is a Grade A bootlicker that thinks he is part of the club.

Main Points

1. most people (including most men) do not actually give a fuck.

2. a tiny insignificant group mumbling in a dark corner probably do care, but noone should give a shit or listen to them.

3. instead their voice is amplified in social/legacy media as a typical divide and conquer tactic (men vs women is ‘powerful’ as its half the planet vs the other half).

4. unoriginal drones parrot those amplifications because they’ll get angry about whatever their screens tell them to this week.

5. society has leaned male-dominant for too long, so genuine efforts to be fair are perceived by some idiots (see #2,#4) as “unfair”.

6. corporations don’t actually give a shit about equality, so their maliciously half-arsed pretense at fairness rings hollow, adding more fuel to the flames.

Bonus

If you want to know more about this problem in general, see the Bechdel test, once you see it, you can’t unsee it everywhere you go:

The test asks whether a work features at least two female characters who have a conversation about something other than a man.

This is probably the pinnacle of what the modern documentary format should be.

Cannot recommend it enough.

fpr MP games the server code ¹ should be released to the community when finally taking the servers offline

¹ (or at least binaries with minimum standards for support/documentation)

fuck me lemmy is turning into an absolute reddit-esque cesspool shithole.

i do not understand why people are in here simping for cloudflare (presumably unpaid) do they have money in cloudflare? clearly they don’t have a fucking clue whats really going on in the world, but what makes them think they need to actively enforce (ie. downvote people) for pointing out issues with cloudflare??

this is beyond weird.

obviously this is all just my opinion, but it seems evident to me:

the oligarchs.

they’ve realised their best shot at power is by dividing us cos there’s no way this shit would fly otherwise. that’s why they’ve been flooding us with every single possible topic of division, black vs white, straight vs lgbqt, even lgb vs trans (!!!), young vs old, boomers vs millenials. city vs rural.

all of that said, if you just don’t think you can stomach the wedding event then you’re nta imo.

the current pantomime is clearly designed to divide us and it’s working quite well.

you wouldn’t be an arsehole, but divide and conquer is exactly what they want

Here’s why knowing the above i still donate to wikipedia.

Because we don’t want them to be in a position where they take money with strings attached. Imo its good for them to be reminded they serve the public first and foremost.

congrats on the excellent project.

how many pieces of the piezo and which frequency of operation did you use?

how did you design/source the acoustic lens design?

seriously well done!!

fascinating, thanks.

no doubt ushered in under some notion of “protecting” us from well funded groups, yet mysteriously didn’t include a minimum threshold so poor folks with $4.25 in their account are still included in these broad sweeping laws.

you are basically correct, and i believe these concerns were raised when that apple patent hit the news.

essentially it boils down to the unpleasant fact that it’s simply currently not required.

1. recording & sharing recordings of such activities has already been outlawed in certain jurisdictions.

2. media & public narrative is already tightly controlled.

3. they already routinely get away with worse crimes against the public for the above reasons.

4. even if a handful of individuals face some vague justice, the public foots the bill with tax payer funded settlements.

one day something similar to that apple patent probably will happen though, especially as corporations merge further with our legal systems, and it’ll be labelled a breach of copyright because their uniforms have sony logos or some such
