  • Exactly. The supernatural is things beyond nature - if you can prove something supernatural is part of nature, then it's not supernatural, so it would now be natural.

    It's similar to the quote, "What do you call alternative medicine that works? Medicine"

  • Exactly, who do they think holds up all their gambles.
    They keep the working class fighting each other, because if they ever stopped, this wouldn't work anymore

  • She absolutely should - the amount of people he's stiffed that can't afford to go after him, it'd put a hole in his wallet he'd never forget if they all came knocking

  • Republicans and honesty go together like oil and water, so what did she really expect?

  • What a world we live in, where charities have to step in to stop children going into debt over school lunches...

    You'd think that one of the wealthiest governments in the world would have a better solution to this problem by now than relying on charity

  • [...] where he is the likely nominee for the Republican Party. He is also facing a total of 91 felony counts across federal charges in Washington, D.C., and Florida and state charges in New York and Georgia.

    Just want to point out this gem of a paragraph out the bottom of the article...

    Less than a decade ago I'd have laughed if you told me that someone could be currently in trial for best part of 100 felony charges, on top of having already been impeached for attempted insurrection, and still legitimately be a candidate for president of the United States

  • Anyone want to take bets on how long it'll take for this guy to end up falling out of a building or get into a plane crash?

  • Yeah - that was my worry.

    Unification of standards only works if everyone agrees to use it and only it (i.e. mobile phones and USB C), otherwise you're just adding another one to the pile.

  • Well the idea is that you're paying for someone who is both qualified in dealing with mental health issues, and is completely unattached to your life to provide a confidential, non-judgmemtal outsider perspective on your life.

    The people who know you almost certainly can't provide that level of support in your life, and many people need that space/perspective to help them recognise their issues, or push them towards the correct solution to resolving them.

    It's not everybody's cup of tea, it ain't mine, but for those it does work for, it works well

  • I know right, but apparently it's "too unsanitary" and "nobody wants blood all over their documents". Honestly, what has this world come to

  • I'd like to wonder how Nitrogen Asphyxiation, which I know from my LN2 safety training is extremely dangerous due solely to the fact humans can't tell it's happening until they faint and die, can't be used because it's inhumane and dangerous, yet lethal injections, electric chairs, and toxic chambers are perfectly fine to use.

    I don't support the death penalty/capital punishment, but if the punishment is the death itself, torturing prisoners is plain unnecessary

  • Unless I can take my blood samples home with me, it appears I'll be left behind in that trend

  • Now taking bets on this man having a tragic accident before next week

  • As long as there us incentive to do so, malicious actors will exploit the source code whether it is open or closed...

    Making something open source does make it easier for malicious actors, but it also allows honest actors to find and fix exploits before they can be used - something they won't/can't do for closed source, meaning you have to rely on in-house devs to review/find/fix everything.

  • If you want to see your "Karma" Kbin natively has a reputation feature - Having said that I disagree with the idea entirely.

    It isn't a good way to gauge trustworthiness as it can easily be farmed by posting large amounts of mediocre content that people are likely just to upvote passively.

    It's far better to just look at someone's post history to see the substance of their contributions to the site - obviously that takes more work to check, but it's also way harder to fake.

  • The others have cool abilities, but I'd take the Treasure Stone - I'm anxious when it comes to confrontation and speaking, so something I could hold onto to make me more confident in myself would be a godsend.

  • No, my point is that they’re lost causes and they’re untrainable.

    Ah... I still don't get how that's meant to refute the previous person's point that elitism and the "git gud" attitude around Linux contributes to it's inability to become mainstream.

    If anything your reply only reinforces their point, because you seem to be suggesting we throw anybody who struggles to learn it to the curb.

  • Is your point meant to be that these people who already have trouble learning GUIs would somehow have an easier time intuiting command line?

    If that's correct, that's an absolutely BS argument
