hey ^^ time to listen to some brony music :) i totally forgot that exists 😂👍

It's not soup if they discard the water after cooking, leaving only the vegetables.

The alternative, btw, would be to fry everything in butter or some plant oil, i believe. That's what they're opposing.

oh come on. this is the most harmless behavior of the year. people make a big story out of anything.

instead of focusing on actual problems, such as Musk tried to cut social spending, people talk about this.

Humans have 4 lifes, if you think about it, each lasting for roughly 20 years.

It's this way because dogs and cats (and many other animals!) have an approximate lifespan of 20 years. Humans have 80 years, approximately 4x as much.

It is sothat we can feel the consequences of our own actions in our next life.

thank you, i have been saying the same thing :D

Only when the machine stops can we finally take it apart and fix all its problems

That is what meditation is. Deliberately pausing for a while, to fix your internal problems.

To tell another story, workers are like kindle of the great furnace of the industrial-capitalist complex, and to stay at home is to take away the fuel from the machine.

I have read the following very beautiful explanation of randomness:

You may very well assume that the universe is deterministic, i.e. one thing follows after another, but even if that is so, you still end up with infinitely many stars in the night sky, and you cannot predict their patterns and shapes from mere computational-prediction alone. You need to venture out into the night and see the stars for yourself in order to find their arrangement and yourself in the middle of it. That is what randomness is all about: The stars could have any pattern, but they have exactly one. The same applies for humans: Humans could have any character, but they have exactly one. The true human character causes free-will, and that is what you and me experience as the wonder of life.

Ukraine war is the third proxy war IMO, after Vietnam and the Middle East. It was never about Ukraine, the Western world does not give a flying fuck about Ukraine specifically. It's just a power play like in the years of the cold war. Just that this time, Russia started it, instead of the US, so everybody is losing their minds over it.

It's especially interesting as a high birthrate causes a crisis for the future economy when AI replaces a lot of workers and company's will have to finance a large number of unemployed people.

It is university's jobs to collect and disseminate knowledge.

As such, it would make sense for university to host its own journal for scientific research. After all, that is "disseminating knowledge" as well. Universities could do it for the greater good, instead of for profit, at least in sane countries where Universities actually operate for public benefit, not for profit.

Such a journal would have no publishing fees and no access fees. It would undermine the monopoly that Wiley & others have built.

I don't think you can explain to normal people how these tech bros think.

I understand, but please see my other comment under this post. I explained it there.

thanks for that :D

I always understand "free will" to mean "figure out who you really are". I.e., every person has a certain character from birth, and that just unfolds throughout life. "Free will" is about figuring that out.

What i don't get here is what the existence of a "creator" would have to do with abortion. Just as an example, what if there is a god. What does that tell us about everyday life, or about abortion?

It would be very well conceivable to me that there is a god, but they have no opinion about whether we do abortions or not. How are these things connected?

What you just uttered is a totally valid belief in my eyes :)

Beliefs don't always have to be based on mere intuition alone. It's totally fine to be able to back up what one believes with arguments.
