It’s a thing about humanity. Sunrise on a heliocentric solar system looks the same as geocentric. And yet every single culture put us in the middle. It could have been 50-50 but instead we were all wrong together.
My point is that we see what we want. No, don’t change the words to suit them.
What I was taught was try to take their conclusion and see how hard it is to maintain it. For example if someone were to argue with me about the truth of their particular branch of Christianity I should do is show how many assumptions I need to make to get to it. I.e. there is a god, this God is personal, this God favors human life, this God choose one particular tribe, this God waited all that time to send his son down…
If it is the Mirror I don’t click it or believe it. Stop spreading propaganda.
Even if I were a robot I would hs r somehow done more travel compared to another person I could name here.
Did you enjoy your semester of study abroad?
Do people in socialist countries not care about physical appearance? Odd since I have known people who live in planned group owned collectives and they didn’t look like any uglier or better than the rest of the population.

For a frequent traveler you have never been to Italy or Korea.
When I travel abroad I try to drink bottled water from my home country for the first three days, after that I I drink the native stuff. A frequent traveler taught me this trick and it seems (yes I know anecdotal) to work.
Really not an expert on this stuff but I imagine there are just different bacteria in the water and that is what people are reacting to.
I ended up losing a friend because of reddit. They found it and just morphed from cheerful to always in a bad mood. Occasionally picking arguments with me from stuff they had seen on that site. At one point I just told them to stop going there, that they were becoming a nasty person because of it. She said she did but I didn’t believe her.
Early march 2020 I am dealing with the lockdown and watching my entire life deathspiral. My toddler won’t wear a mask, her older sister is crying because she misses her friends at school, I have no idea if I will have a job next week, and my wife is a nurse going into NYC hospital every day. All this going on and my friend sends me an email demanding I get her pictures of the corona beer public burnings going on. That she knows for a fact are happening because she read it on reddit.
I called her and I won’t repeat what I said because I am highly confident it would get me in trouble with LEOs. Not a “hey I know you have small children and your wife works in a hospital in the hardest hit city in the US, are you okay? Is there anything I can do to help?”. No, just an email trying to make fun of the people in my country.
It varied for me. For example I lurked on /r/watches and would watch as the group mind ripped to shreds anyone who dared showing a digital that wasn’t Casio or a fashion watch. /R/PLC stayed good the whole time. I guess because we had a common enemy, everyone else in the universe.
Meh. If you ignore every cancer long enough you don’t have to worry about any of them.
We need a neutral body that is willing to treat it like binary. Does it increase the odds of cancer above a certain threshold given situations that normal users would deal with? Then yes it causes cancer. Else no. I am sick of these governing bodies using weasel words to defend their claims. Statements like this make people do averaging. Suddenly these super hypothetical situations are rated as deadily as smoking.
I am starting to miss the echo chamber of YouTube. I am a fairly leftwing atheist in a solid blue state that ranks near last in religious observance. And yet roughly a quarter of the suggested videos/ads I get are for things like Epoch Times, Prager U, HeGetsUs, PJ Media.
Alright so the only way I am clicking on that stuff is by accident. From the advertisement point of view this is worse than selling iceboxes to Inuit, this is like trying to sell ribeye steaks to vegans with no money.
Which makes you wonder what the future holds. Say you are Epoch Times and you find out the YouTube is pushing your product on people who actively don’t want to buy it how much longer are you going to pay Alphabet for a failed advertising campaign?
We just want to give our car “owners” a sense of accomplishment.
