Why do either?

Wikipedia is suspect now too. They’ve sold the site to AI search. Hard to say that they had much of a choice, but the sure did it swiftly and gleefully.

Still better than ghosting I usually get.

Meta’s “financial model is to reward content creators who get engagement, and as we know, the best way of getting engagement is to produce rage bait, extremist material, aggravating material: anything that will get people upset and arguing is the best way to get engagement.”

That tracks.

Software organizes the library into artist/album folders automatically. Then I organize every track into playlists based on mood/genre. I’ll generally pick a certain playlist to listen to and put it on shuffle.

Surely the perfect body would have some extra legs. And some kind of armored skin. And eyes that can see in multiple directions. Maybe some kind of powerful claw and a… wait a second I’m a crab aren’t I?

Nope. News and social media thrive on extremes. Most Americans agree on the issues he mentioned.

Taxing billionaires

Universal healthcare

Ending wars

Climate crisis

I was posting about these kind proton pricing shenanigans months ago and no one was listening.

Bro literally just listed the centrist platform and labeled it “radical left” lol

Wth is 2.5k?

My bs detector is tingling.

“Just match the colors!”

“There’s no yellow… It’s just red and white.”

“That’s impossible. Move out of the way!”

“…”

“My God.”

“What do we do now? I’m scared.”

It’s pretty jarring, but they do a brilliant job of the Star Trek thing of making the monster/enemy race humanized by the run of the series. I went from hating the rework to appreciating it on its own merits by the end.

Leonhard Euler I think is not as well known in the general public

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek is pretty much unknown enough that I felt the need to make his name a link.

It’s an event on a long enough timeline.

(Not sure if its a person, I don’t watch wrestling.)

If its not sports or something where you’re watching a tiny subject on the screen, there is no reason for more than 720p.

More of this.

Does that include like building the hoover dam or what?

Newton’s work in optics → refraction and better lenses → the microscope →germ theory →vaccines.

Well, he couldn’t have known that, but fascinating that he was inadvertently helping to solve disease. Just a few centuries ahead of being useful.

Ironically, there’s a phrase for someone who’s so old and out of touch that they might as well be on death’s doorstep:

“Don’t buy green bananas.”

(In the South it’s often used in a self deprecating way: “let’s just say I don’t buy green bananas.”)
