Oof that’s why I’m gonna stick to dieting, people seem like they forgot that thats still an option!

You can use an Apple ID but it’s optional and it’s not tied to the user account unlike windows. A Mac OS user is basically like creating a user account on a Linux machine!

Switching to a Mac was one of the best decisions I ever made because of crap like this. The only thing that will ever make me use windows again is GTA 6!

I don’t think hallucinations and having a “minds eye” are the same thing. A minds eye is different in the sense that it’s entirely separate from the “visual feed” you get from your eyes, they’re not combined so you can’t really mistake them as a hallucination; hallucinations trick you into seeing things that are not really there such as when people with schizophrenia can see people who are not actually with them — I remember seeing this guy on Instagram with a proper schizophrenia diagnosis that showcased this very phenomenon in action and the way he dealt with it is by using his phones camera to check whether the person they are perceiving is real or not. You never have to do that if you have hyperphantasia (the opposite of aphantasia) because it’s very easy to tell whats real and what’s not, and more importantly, it takes mental effort to create and maintain these imaginations in your mind and you can have total control over them.

Aside from a couple of dysfunctional police departments, everyone wants to catch violent criminals and put them away—no one is arguing against that. The problem is that they can’t be found for a multitude of reasons, this is also compounded by how easy it is to acquire bullets and firearms in the US.

I think California tried to tackle this issue by fingerprinting bullets (microscopic stamps I think) which can then be traced back to the person who bought them, but these people just end up buying bullets from other states and transporting them to California.

This is a very complex issue, prosecutors can’t just wave a magic wand and selectively put these people away. You have to find them, and build a case against them that has proof beyond a reasonable doubt that they were the perpetrator(s).

From what I understand space is full of errant radio signals that are not generated by us, the beacons we send to voyager or it to us is most likely indistinguishable from the multitude of others in the same region.

I think the idea of an alien race attacking us is sort of a catch 22 because if they’re able to attack us (technologically speaking), then they wouldn’t perceive us as a threat because we would be insignificant in comparison to their power.

I could make you a small website that does it if you want, it’d be good for my resume :)

Lawyers don’t care about the spirit of any law, it’s the language that matters!

They will be if they were smart enough to exclude everyone who worked on Siri from their new AI projects.

If the universe is shaped like a donut then what’s in the middle?

How hard is it to introduce permanent mutations to DNA in adults, across every cell in the body? That seems like the holy grail of gene editing to me!

Journalists should have that freedom!

Well they’ll first need a new app that’s not crappy at best!

When people hundreds of years from now watch these videos, they’re gonna think that Aliens helped us build this amazing craft in the same way some people today think that aliens helped the Egyptians build the pyramids!

Windows 10 is a disaster, this is a catastrophe!

This is a good way of looking at it, thank you. I’ll probably put a few hundred dollars in it to test the waters!

Fuck my LIfe this is the second time I missed out on a GME pump and dump.

That’d require a short driving lesson everytime you lend it to a new person because the drive-by-wire and all wheel turning can be a little tricky according to MKBHD!

The dislike button never left, just the dislike count!

I totally understand why people hate public transit, I relied on it for years before I got my license/car. I happen to live in a state where public transportation happens to be very good on paper, but in practice is actually a hellish, miserable experience; Buses are constantly running late, they’re usually filled with sketchy people (homeless, drug addicts, etc) who make you feel uneasy and in some cases is actually unsafe (such as some having a drug induced episode, this happens a lot more common than you might think.)

In the end I told myself I don’t have to go through all that crap, so I got myself car and it very quickly dawned on me that this was indeed the correct decision and I should’ve done it years ago. The laundry list of positive changes outweighed any negatives associated with owning a car.

Only way I’m giving it up now is if we manage to invent portable teleportation devices.

Situation sounds ripe for a new credit monitoring service, “Creditmaster”. Be the problem, and sell the solution!

When people realize how insufferable the internet is without an Adblocker they’ll have no choice but switch to Firefox.

Do you know if the Federal Supreme Court has the power to overturn this conviction? It’s always felt like the power of SCOTUS is absolute and that they wouldn’t hesitate to issue such an order if a case is brought before them.

It’s funny you say that because there are parents who can only do it if they’re high or buzzed on alcohol (wine moms, etc) You’re a good parent!

5mg edibles should do the trick depending on body weight!

If you’re so inclined to engage in intelligent conversation then your first reaction should’ve been to look up those stats yourself and counter with that. The burden of proof is not on him because he clearly prefaced the comment by saying “I’m thinking” which means he’s expressing his own opinion which may or may not be different from facts you can get by analyzing data.

Don’t worry about it dude, your comment wasn’t condescending at all and is actually a good word of caution for those who like to smoke indoors!

All he said was that the smoke alarm going off while you’re high might be disturbing to that person; so, they take out the battery and forget to put it back in because weed messes with your short term memory. What’s condescending about that? All he did is speculate and he’s not that far off from reality!

For the record many people have died because they fell asleep with a lit cigarette (probably because they’re likely drunk or just very tired) in their hand which then causes a fire. Stupid ass comment!

Yep, phone cameras can pick up IR light which is very useful for testing whether a TV remote works or not!

> until you saw the women that this engagement farms

Can you explain what you’re trying to say with this? I didn’t quite get it haha!
