I really like the campfire analogy. It's worse on purpose because that's the experience they want.

"I'm right. Everybody who disagrees with me is wrong. 'fact checkers' disagree with me, so they must be lying." Is well within the person woman man camera TV brain.

It's not quite the self-report that you think it is. Refusing to accept fact checking is a rational decision in the hypothetical framework that the participant is being honest and the checker is unreliable or dishonest.

Ambiguous should:

We "should" be able to rely on an immutable and reliable system to provide for us when we are old. Like a government that gives a fuck or something.

Without that, you "should" still make safe and sane financial investments, even if the system is rigged and corrupt, because no suitable alternative exists.

Not quite right. The gyroscope tracks rotation. It's really good at telling when your phone is making rapid turns, but has a a really hard time knowing the difference between a stationary phone and one that's turning very slowly. It also can't tell which direction it's starting from.

The accelerometer is used to tell which way is down, by averaging the acceleration of gravity over time. It can get confused while the phone is in motion, but when things slow down it keeps the gyroscope from wandering around.

You're often also responsible for finding somebody to cover your shift.

Like, why even have a manager?

Conspiracies are cool, but don't just make shit up.

I demand to see the long-form medical report! The earer movement cannot be stopped!

Bro probably to account for leap Thursday's. We have one every ~28k years to keep in alignment with the true solar week.

FROM THE MOMENT I UNDERSTOOD THE WEAKNESS OF MY FLESH...

Aside from the rather extreme criticisms (genocide stuff), universal registration is a bad idea for everyone because these things keep getting hacked/leaked:

If you are on the registry, it's an invitation to descrimination or careful/skilled burglary.

If you aren't on the registry, it's an invitation for violent crime with little/no resistance.

Martyr apparently comes from Greek meaning "one who testifies in court." The religious connotations came later.

The only exception to point a gun at somebody is to protect life. If you can't film a shot without pointing a real gun at someone, that shot doesn't need to be made.

The actor that played gimli is over 6 foot tall. There's never been a 200 foot tall lizard attacking Tokyo. You can shoot a movie with guns safely without violating the most basic safety rules.

If you hire roofers, tell them to fuck off when they give you a safety orientation, and you've already seen them drop two hammers off the roof, can you really say it's not your fault when you get clobbered?

More than one thing can be true. "My brother" "her brother" and "our brother" are all equally valid assuming the three people are siblings.

You completely lost me in that third paragraph, though.

I miss the days between Friday and Monday

And yet here we are.
