Not the original commenter, but I'm going to go ahead and assume he meant that the forum has no place in the traditional 'bread and circuses' used to control masses.

Free exchange of ideas and healthy debate mostly yields good philosophies or slight enlightenment of people participating (and when they get back home they bring that with them and spread the enlightenment), though one should consider whether these romanticized versions of the pub and the forum are actually in line with reality. In order to have a good debate you need the right people and the right place.

I would assume that the base example would be workers gathering in a pub and thinking 'what if none of us works tomorrow? who's going to build their stuff?'. And some might not have even thought of that before. And this leads to unionizing.

Contrast that with a platform like facebook that channels you into a place where you find what you already know and think you want via algorithm, and thus are basically shielded from knowing stuff you don't already. Knowledge is power and all that. Sure, the forums and pubs are fairly easy to poison, but it takes more effort.

Or there was plastic stuck to the machines used to sample and it contaminated the area during sampling. Or there was plastic in the lab during testing. Though potentially those should have been ruled out by testing a blank sample and a control sample of just the 'empty' sampling equipment.

Maybe we're all just figments of their coma and if they wake up we stop existing. One moment, poof! The end.

Also, little known fact, 9 women can deliver one single baby in 1 month from conception!

Aye, good for the donor. Presumably not bad for the recipient either, since needing blood means they already lost some so worst case they just have constant levels of microplastics.

So about those T-shirts and hoodies prodly saying they're made from 100% recycled plastic...

Nonsense, Microsoft will just put lots of PMs and Scrum masters on the task and they'll have a working reactor in 1 year max.

/s, just in case any PMs are reading this and think it's totally reasonable

I know! He was supposed to go all Yosemite Sam on his ass and yell 'dance, partner!' while discharging his firearm at the assailant's feet very quickly. Hillarity would have surely ensued! /s

Well, never is a bit of a strong word here. Copenhagen and Amsterdam have something to say about that. Now I'm not a fuckcars person, but I do see the value for those places. I am also aware that it works there because of multiple factors that do not necessarily translate well to other places, not just plopping a bike lane and hoping people won't just use it for parking their cars. Oslo, for instance does not have the same infrastructure for bikes as Copenhagen does, presumably because they get worse winters?

I'll say this, though, I was extremely surprised to see a traffic jam on the bike lane and no jam on the car lane.

Shit, man, now I want to see a paper authored by some rando PhD and JizzmasterD

I also manage to wake up before my alarm clock with 1-30 minutes (achieved via programming), with alarm times varying from 5.30 am to 7 am depending on what needs doing that day, but it's still physically painful and mentally unpleasant. I'm basically running on autopilot until about noon. Oddly enough, if I manage to get a decent amount of sleep and wake up at something like 2 am, it's awesome, but falling asleep at 5-6 in the afternoon is slightly difficult.

I cannot remember a single instance in my whole life when I woke up in the morning and thought 'heh, fully rested and full of energy. what a wonderful morning!'. I cannot understand people able to get up earlier and do stuff like go running, before work. Hell, I shower at night to save time in the morning (and because getting into bed full of day-stuff is just icky). Going on holidays is also mildly unpleasant because hotels usually offer breakfast up to 10 am (11 in the weekend). I wish they'd offer brunch as well.

A small correction of the chemical nature, Teflon is PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), which belongs to the class PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances).

PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid) also belongs to the same class, PFAS.

May I introduce you to subtitles?

Oh I know...

That's a bit extreme, murder an cannibalism I can understand the connection with, but rape? I might be missing something but I'm pretty sure nobody forces intercourse on animals destined for consumption.

As for murder and cannibalism, there have been historical instances where that was the case when they ran out of food (low-hanging fruit). I would wager that given a grave enough scenario, people will be grilling up Neighbour Bob to stay alive. Zombie apocalypse time might just mean long pork's on the menu.

I knew it as "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.". I think it fits better here, too, when in the face of actual death, people still ignore common sense. Screw neglect, that's pure, unadulterated, 100% organic, fresh as the driven snow stupidity.

I hope whomever thinks of, participates in implementing or just thinks it's a good idea to geolock shit gets gout.

That's fair I guess, I was a bit shocked to read about aheists having to conceal their true convictions and go to church and such for actual fear of being harmed. Now I read this on that other site a while ago, and still not sure whether it's true or not.

Now I just know this article is wrong:

"But explaining things that reside “only in consciousness”—the red of a sunset, say, or the bitter taste of a lemon—has proven far more difficult"

Lemons are sour, damn it, not bitter! Lemons are part of the universe and sour, so any consciousness that perceives them as bitter is not part of the universe. /s

not the person you're replying to, but I was too young to remember
