We can have this talk if you ever pass Kolanaki’s comment total
It’s meant to roughly gauge how clearly you picture things in your mind’s eye by asking you which apple you see when prompted to imagine one. #5 references the lack of a mind’s eye in people with Aphantasia (coincidentally this Wikipedia article has this same chart as a header image)
Years are ordinal numbers, the kind of number that tells you which place you finished in a race, and as such cannot have zeroes or negatives. You’re living in the 2,024th year since the instant that began the Common Era. “0th” and “-1st” are not valid expressions for years for the same reason that you can’t place 0th in the Olympics
Besides the immediate threat of mass rioting and an armed resistance no matter who you’re flogging, public torture as entertainment is a very, very bad precedent to set, and only serves to build up a culture of antipathy. Imagine how the wider justice system would change once that’s normalized.
I’m contacting you from an alternate timeline to tell you that I’m still angry
Congratulations, you’ve invented the Martingale betting system and are well on your way to becoming an adept probability theorist
The short answer is that casinos account for this by changing the profit returns and the odds of making a profit at all so that catastrophic losses are much more likely
pros: exceedingly small chance that the one decision-maker and everyone who succeeds them are correct about everything all the time and we reach utopia
cons: likely genocide
In case you didn’t know, you can turn off promotional emails in Settings -> Dashboard -> Email Subscriptions or by adding a mail filter to push them all into an advertisement folder, and the other ads can be mitigated by hitting “don’t show this offer again” on each one
you don’t have one of those DM_ME_(thing) usernames
Nitpick: the proper term is “virtual desktop” or “workspace”, as “desktop environment” is already a common term for the software composing the entire user interface.
I enjoy using this feature on any operating system since it lets me quickly scan through and declutter open windows, and place categories of windows in their own workspaces. I might have only productivity windows on one, and leisure and socials on another. It’s especially effective if you learn the keyboard shortcuts for navigating inside and between workspaces. All this improves my productivity and keeps distractions away.
Every time I sneeze I redirect all the air into a cough. If I actually need my sinuses cleared (e.g., at the end of a cold germ) I just blow my nose. Am I in the minority?
The Mandela Effect does not exist in the manner you’re describing, and by priming your audience to expect a specific false memory you’re tainting the data from any responses you get.
People wouldn’t have the Berenstain/Bernstein thing mixed up in their heads so much if the conversation about it was always phrased as “Who are the authors of that old children’s picture book series with the bears?” instead of adding doubt with “Do you remember the authors as Berenstain or Bernstein?”
Try hanging out in philosophy-focused spaces, some of them are pretty close to the “civil discussions on hard topics with moderation good enough to toss out manipulators and build everyone else up” sweet spot I’m always searching for
two year retrospective: my pinephone still doesn’t work lmao
Given the opportunity to vote in its current form, I’ll keep voting no matter how evil the lesser of two evils is. By definition it’s better than the alternative
I thought Russia was fighting with Cold War stuff and that that’s part of why they were on the back foot. Something about rusty AK-47s
The image only contains consenting adults who look very happy to be with each other (the perspective on the muzzles could use a little work though), so no, not very problematic. It is problematic if you’re making an active effort to stop browsing porn and you still got far enough for your web browser to load that text.
