You probably should report them to the MI6, CIA, NSA, IRA, YMCA and all other organizations just to make sure. In fact, just start screaming at people in the street about this one random college/highschool girl or else communism as a whole will just collapse.
Watch out China, fucking Hannah from Wisconsin junior college repeated something every white person already says.
how do you calibrate a fahrenheit thermometer? With celsius it’s hilariously trivial, if the thermometer says it’s about 0 when you see water freeze, it’s correct enough for everyday use.
You do the exact same but use 32 degrees instead of zero. I know celsius is cool and good but most people seem incapable of understanding how its just fucking marks on a line and any non-sciencey advantage is pretty much null.
It makes more sense for the former unfortunately.
The original theory was that it could have been a pregnant women looking down and that’s what lead to the proportions. The idea was they wouldn’t have been able to see themselves in a river or something. But rivers and puddles, not to mention OTHER pregnant women, were extremely common so it’s less likely.
It’s impossible unfortunately, once you put down your first book you become physically incapable of picking up another book.
I wish my mom didn’t waste it on One Fish Two Fish when I was young so that I could at least read something cool.
I think qualia and the philosophical zombie thing pokes a hole in the whole non-soul thing but I’ll admit that I don’t have a good materialist explanation.
I’d wager that consciousness is some sort of emergent property of matter operating on a dimension we can’t directly interact with. 70% of our understanding of the universe doesn’t come from directly observing stuff, it comes from observing the effects of it.
That doesn’t mean that you have an eternal soul that survives death, just that consciousness is a bit more complicated than the current materialist explanation.
It’s just better to get used to a baseline level of misery than relying on happiness to get yourself out of a funk.
That said, turn the fucking devices off, get a big fucking cup of herbal tea, and look at the natures for 30 minutes. You are not allowed to press the buttons on the misery-skinner-box until tea is gone and timer is up.
Social media and the monetization of every public place is the immediate cause. With social media, you can get a facsimile of easy social interaction. For the few who do go out, there are increasingly few places that you can go without spending money. Add in a bad economy and friends are a luxury that few can afford. It’s easier and cheaper to sit at home and use social media, hookup when you need sex, and only go out when you need. Social media is the fast food of social interactions. You know its unhealthy but it’s the path of least resistance.
But these trends started much earlier. Social media is just the tool used to create it. I can’t explain everything coherently but contributing factors to atomization are cars, the economic downturn after the WWII boom, the loss of the church as an institution, privatization of public spaces, monetization of culture under capitalism, the threat organized communities posed to capitalist projects, etc etc.
The separating of humans into individual elements, or atoms, such that they’re disconnected from each other.
Basically, breaking the social bonds that once held human society together. A community is very strong, a group of individuals with no connection to each other is weak. What union-busting does to the workplace, atomization does to society at large. Individualism is tangential but not quite the same. Individualism is a sort of ideology that things should be this way. They should be self-reliant and depend on themselves etc etc. Atomization is the state being unable to form meaningful social relationships due to isolation.
It’s more closely related to atomization than individualism.
Pre-1950’s America was still very individualistic but they also had third spaces and more close knit communities. Without meaningful connection, those who are able to hookup achieve a facsimile of intimacy. Those who aren’t able to get that turn to escort services, onlyfans, and patriarchy etc etc. This compounds the problem until society breaks down.
Of course people do have casual sex for just fun just as they did throughout history. But the major shift towards that isn’t because people changed their minds suddenly.
Introverts are the most likely to be lonely tbh. It’s less that they receive energy by being alone but rather that the “social battery” recharges when alone. It has nothing to do with the need of human interaction.
Wanting to make dinner and being physically hungry are two different sensations. I can absolutely be hungry but not have the energy to make dinner. In the same way, I can be in need of social interaction while still not having the drive to go out and do it.
Rookie mistake, they should have said they were forming an economic polycule.
end of the month
cops ticketing you for absolute bullshit
Oh yeah, it’s filling a quota time. Do the risky shit the first 3 weeks or so but never on the last few days. Ironically, stopping at that same light would probably have been more risky as you’d have to slam on the brakes.
Game theory relies on both parties understanding the “game” fully and making logical choices based on self-interest.
The world is unable to be understand fully and people often make illogical choices. It can be useful but only to a point.
Why? You have no understanding of why this person uploaded this file, nothing to go on, nor any knowledge about this person beyond their account uploaded the file. Was it intentional, maybe they just copied shit off a flash? If it was, were they reading and agreeing or were they just interested in the book? You have no idea and you will never know.
Not everything needs to be a moral crusade. Every single co-worker, including you, have thoughts that would get you fired. Work is like the brown paper bag over your can. Maybe they’re drinking soda, maybe they’re drinking beer, but unless they do some shit don’t go around trying to read the label.
I don’t think you understand that getting some hokey answers when you do an asklemmy thread about the supernatural is par for the course.
My point still stands even if its modified a bit.
It’s only your mind active in this scenario. You might as well just ask to know everything in existence.
Knowing everything in existence is just merging with the universe which isn’t what I want. I want my ego to still exist, even if only temporarily. I don’t want to go from human -> THE ALL, I want to follow the path with the extra time I was given.
I don’t see how you get to the ascension part anyway, you can only absorb the answers you look for, you don’t get time and space to do anything with it.
If I don’t get time and space then it doesn’t matter what I ask anyway as I’d be dead before I got to appreciate the answer. “Oh what’s the secret of the universe?” But then I’m dead before I even get to think about what it means. May as well just ask what’s on TV tomorrow because I wouldn’t get anything from it.
Tell me all the digits in Pi or some other irrational number so that I can get pseudo eternal life.
Since we have a wish-granting entity then that means the supernatural is somewhat real and I use my newfound time as well as the frozen world to learn everything I wanted and possible ascend beyond humanity.
Republicans can’t retaliate in kind because they have no precedent or legal backing to do so.
They don’t have the legal backing to do a lot of things they already do so I don’t see how that will stop anything.
Plus they can just decide to give all the electoral votes to Trump regardless of the vote total which would accomplish much the same thing while being entirely constitutional.
I got a touch-pump soap dispenser for my kitchen. Just put the the sponge on the device, push down, and now you got a soapy sponge. Saves time but I’m old so ymmv.
