Why isn’t this as easy as storing some of that excess energy in a home battery and letting the rest down in a wire into the ground? Then if it’s smart enough it could only give back energy when needed.

I crave for some kind of religion and I want it to be real, I think I was made for it genetically. My core being tries to find meaning in everything, every story, every feeling, the connection with others. Therefore I understand that desire.

But I just can’t take the bullshit when I think about it rationally. The lack of doubt people have in any of their beliefs and the kind of certainty they support their imagined traditions and Gods with. It’s insane.

Finding a meaningful life feels natural, but the only truth I have is that I cannot believe anything for certain. So all religion becomes a complete mindtrap for people who use it to sooth themselves.

And that is fine, I get it. I get that you don’t want to question it as that’s harder and makes life more chaotic. And I also feel some envy for people who are able to not care (as much) about uncertainty. But good for them.

The only thing is, keep those ideas to yourself and your community and accept others for not being able to commit to your story. My story and all my beliefs are probably also flawed, but that doubt is a healthy way to accept that others have different ideas.

For this exact purpose. To impress your ex? Sounds fair enough.

The hobbits, the hobbits, the hobbits, the hobbits

Yeah that’s what I remember as well, I was joking :)

Of course. Perhaps I should add that I’m not from a native-English speaking country. I’ve seen lots of times where people, mostly not so highly educated (which is a large segment of the population), just don’t see obvious satire as it is or in their hate make the jokes part of their argument set.

Partly because they only understand half of it or are willingly blinding themselves and just further fueling their rage.

Just saying, source / certificates might mitigate some of those issues or at least make them easier to debunk for the ones who they forward their ‘evidence’ too.

I’d like to believe that as well, but sadly I’ve seen even more obvious stuff that some of the people I know use to validate their world views, even when it’s clearly satire.

They just interpret the whole thing wrong and somehow filter jokes. And they use it, or parts of it, as fuel for their beliefs and share parts within their community without context.

I could see some harsh humour in it as well, but it should clearly be labeled “parody”. The way it was shared now is a terrible idea, but we’ve all seen it coming…

All media should have some securely signed source that’s easily viewable and pops up at the start and end of the video (and is visible in the pause screen or on hover, also in case of an image). If it was not signed it should show that as well, like web TLS certificates.

If no internet is available it should show that it cannot verify the source without a connection. There should also be a proposed default date in which the baked in certificate might get less secure, which should also show in the media.

French fries!

Chrome went to a :D above 99. But I believe they changed that, not sure as I use FF now too.

Your feet will taste marvelous after that.

“In my defense, the guy did whine about not seeing any stars.”

What if it was a form of damage control, where they could claim in the future at lawsuits that they had total transparency at the time of the event.

Please, I’m kidding. But it would be interesting.

If it were true, you might buy there once, but it will always leave a bitter taste. So not sure if it would be good advertising if you never go there again.

I imagine it started with some sub-installations actually giving approximations that were acceptable and summed up, but then some finalizing was not taken into account or something needed to be added after the other processes are finished, and the deadline was close. That last part builds up over time with other quick additions and some annoying stuff that is actually quite performance heavy and not easy to incorporate through the whole installation. “Let’s do it at the end as well.”

No time / budget to change the 100% to 99% as they have to adjust calculations based on the processes that actually do a good job. Although a display change could fake it, priorities are elsewhere.

I’ve tried to find sources for this, but all lead into a circle of people just saying this without providing an actual verifiable link or anything.

Edit: This comment from someone was the closest I got: https://lemmy.world/comment/11189733

Yeah, we live in a weird world based around absurd prudish values. I do believe it’s increasingly less frowned upon in some European countries, especially Denmark in my experience.

While tight shirts and external secondary sex distinctions are mostly not an issue.

Sounds like the file type verification on WhatsApp is not on mime-type but only on extension. Some receivers might have trouble opening these though.

Dude, that’s literally insane.
