  • I honestly think Bernie should run independent.

    It’s clear Biden has no chance of rapidly changing his policy or stance on anything, meaning he will most likely lose to Trump anyway.

    Even if Bernie gets only 20% of votes, it would be enough to get the DNC to split.

    And no that 20% would not have been stolen from Biden. I saw Hillary’s horrendous turnout, people don’t vote when there’s not a candidate worth voting for.









  • I got banned from the Kraken crypto exchange after waiting a year for them to approve me and after providing all my IRL credentials.

    Told me I was banned, never to come back, and that they were going to report my fraud attempt to the authorities. Of course they refused to tell me what they thought I did, which didn’t make any sense because all I had been able to do was make an account and make a verification request.

    Never really even looked at crypto again beyond mining dogecoin for fun.

    I’m gonna be honest I’ve never had a flatpak version of something ever work properly.

    There was even one popular media player that only came in flatpak form or otherwise build from source.

    So obviously, for no reason at all, it barely functioned compared to other applications I had already tried.

    Congrats to you people put there somehow running things like Steam with no problems lmao.



  • I like how all these answers involving science fail to realize that the scientific method was used exclusively by many scholars and students who had no historical evidence of giving up their religion.

    Empirical evidence is as old as humans, and afaik the modern scientific method has been in use since the Islamic golden age if not older.

    The key here is that many of these people did not consider religion an empirical issue but a philosophical and ethical one. Particularly with the monotheistic religions, this would make sense because you can easily argue that it would be impractical to test for the existence of God.

    I think a better question would be why do people believe in their respective religion if it contains a glaring contradiction(s).
