The cope on this site is so bad sometimes. AI is already revolutionary.

It’s what the thread is about how is it cherry picking?

But that aside, hundreds of years before the Ulster Plantations, the MacDonnell clan migrated to Antrim and eventually became its rulers. They were likely descended from the Gaelic Scotti, the very people who migrated from Ireland to settle Scotland. So it all seems a bit arbitrary when you neglect the nuances.

Just as you can reference the Black and Tans’ Scottish unit, you can also point to the Galloglass warriors, who were Scots fighting alongside the Irish long before Protestant settlers arrived. Scotland isn’t just the Lowland Presbyterians, its history is deeply intertwined with Gaelic Ireland. They were basically part of the same Gaelic civilisation for most of their history until the 17th century when their (ruling) paths diverged due to English and Presbyterian influence.

Celtic was established to raise money for the poor Irish immigrants in Glasgow. They were fleeing the genocide enabled by Westminster during the potato famine. (From which the Scottish Highlands population never recovered from either - leading to the long-term decline of the shared Gaelic culture.)

What are you on about? Many of the Irish fleeing colonialism ended up in Glasgow so we end up with the situation described in the OP. Are their descendants not allowed to speak up about colonialism or are they not Scottish?

The elites orchestrated the union, the common people overwhelmingly opposed it, resisting English domination through events like the Jacobite uprisings and suffering brutal consequences such as the Highland Clearances.

Also shared ancestry and continuous migration cycles dating back to the Bronze Age have resulted in a significant degree of genetic and cultural homogeneity between our populations.

Dropping rapidly, and using reasoning models can solve most of it today.

Fair enough. I’m on hundreds of servers and have never seen voice chat being used so forgot that was one of its main features for genZ/gamers.

Why this over matrix which has similar features, actual users, and is federated?

It doesn’t matter to our current consciousness as it can’t perceive anything outside of that. We do not know what is beyond our rudimentary understanding of what makes us who we are.

Something like this seems far more likely to me than consciousness being finite.

Keyword being like this, as in whatever is actually going on is far beyond our comprehension, but it’s a nice palatable story that gives it shape. Consciousness might exist beyond death as part of a universal ‘field of awareness’ and reality could be a holographic projection from a deeper non local field of information. Upon death the quantum information could “return” to the universe (orchestrated objective reduction), Monadism, fractal consciousness, pantheism, etc.

We were never nothing. Matter cannot be created nor destroyed.

You guys don’t have repeat prescriptions?

I just order mine on an app when I get a reminder and then pick it up from the chemist a few days later when I get a ping.

You can still scrape Reddit without the api. Main reason was to prevent people using 3rd party apps.

Just barely better than farage’s ratings wtf is wrong with this country

Maybe stop sticking your head in the sand? 🤷

Because id rather pay more for a product than be it.

Even better. It’s the fediverses Facebook moment.

Not as many grassroots advocates. Even on the Reddit alternative sub the consensus isn’t lemmy somehow.

They both suck.

Long live Stremio.

I have no need for third party apps.

For anything beyond texting or scrolling, I have a desktop.

Defying mask mandates wasn’t due to a ‘love for freedom’ but due to delusions and selfishness.

Scots - I like fannybaws.
