  • Politicians don't give a fuck about the middle class though. To get rich after holding public office, you need to get in bed with the currently rich

    Even if they are not completely corrupt: it's easier to talk to a couple of mega corp CEOs instead of those of thousands of small companies (who employ the most people in total). So policy will always favor large corps. And that's where the obscenely rich are.

  • But it does carry more weight. If a celibrity voices an opinion it's almost guaranteed to become public.

    That doesn't make it more valid though, it can still be bullshit. And that's why people may conclude it best, if performers focus on their area of expertise. I don't think less of people coming to that conclusion.

  • Or you might believe just because they're a great performer doesn't mean they have more expertise on a topic outside their area than the average Joe and is just as interesting. Yet, somehow people's opinion seems to matter more once they're in the spotlight.

  • Well, not really. Your first reply to me got downvoted because you setup a strawman - arguing against something that wasn't even the point.

    Your second, the one you claimed said the same as mine, insinuated Dark Matter is just some mathy explanation among many. This doesn't give it credit. It's the current no 1 explanation with lots of evidence. Still didn't get downvoted though.

  • Nobody "automatically assumes" anything. Dark matter is the best candidate of possible explanations because it explains observation and still fits the standard model. Even if they find the necessary particles eventually, nobody would call it certain though. Certainty is a unicorn.

  • People don't think about that. You have to register somewhere in order to use your $12.99 cam, install some app and are good to go.

    How would a someone not interested in tech know that the footage data is stored on some online server and you are at the mercy of their itsec.
