Would you trust your government to fairly and equitably decide who gets such treatments?

The scientific, societal, and economic aspects of eugenics are inextricable.

Can you elaborate on "done correctly"?

I just had to initiate a claim because I didn't receive a package that hadn't arrived even though it reported that it did. Although it's a bit hidden, there's at least a "package arrived; missing items" option on the mobile app.

A strong desire to always learn and improve. I respect that there are people that know how to be and are totally content with just knowing what they know; but I personally have a hard time in intimate relationships with people that don't take interest in learning.

Have some dignity and go watch The Incredibles right now.

This Schmitt sounds like a great guy!

I loved Severance too. I don't usually go to film for my sci-fi cravings though.

For shows, I really like that just casual kinda mundane tone that sort of parodies reality. Home Movies is great, Bob's Burgers (the earlier seasons were better for this, but I'm still watching through them). Family Guy has those moments every now and then, although I wouldn't call it one of my top shows by any means.

My favorite show is probably Steven Universe. Everything about it was so artistically done; especially the soundtrack. Of the realm of kids/teens shows that were designed for the whole family, Steven Universe is one of the few that I personally think had a great and satisfying ending.

Or you can be like those people on TikTok that pull their kids out of school and let them "guide their own learning."

I don't remember what they called this cutting edge method.

There it is.

I recently got on git add -p, which comes in clutch sometimes. But yeah, I'm definitely about to start doing the interactive add.

*A fourth dimension can be time.

Time is a very convenient choice for a fourth dimension, but "fourth" is purely namesake. There's no reason we couldn't describe our world in our three familiar spatial coordinates with an additional coordinate for temperature, for example. We just don't easily conceptualize it that way because it feels less contiguous according to how we currently frame our model of reality.

Disclaimer: my sources include internet research and far too much time to think. I'm absolutely open to discussion and new ideas in whatever form.

Edit: Temperature is kind of a bad example at face value, but good conceptually. Hopefully I'm communicating my point at least we'll enough to be comprehended.

Truly the person of all time

Instagram differs from Reddit in the sense that most people use Instagram because that's where their friends and family are. You're posting more personal things there. An alternative doesn't really work for most users if no one they know is using it. Good luck with the push, though.

You're on ProgrammerHumor... Why do you expect the jokes to cater to you if you're not a programmer?

It says it right there. He's 4+ years old.

Pretty sure they're referring to class names describing the visual style being applied, rather than what that class represents semantically.

E.g. .red-bold vs. .error-text

I don't have experience with systems like this, but just as sort of a fusion of a lot of ideas I've read in this thread, could some sort of per-instance trust system work?

The more any instance interacts positively (posting, commenting, etc.) with main instance 'A,' that particular instance's reputation score gets bumped up on main instance A. Then, use that score with the ratio of votes from that instance to the total amount of votes in some function in order to determine the value of each vote cast.

This probably isn't coherent, but I just woke up, and I also have no idea what I'm talking about.

No see. What supposed to see?

The game we see here is Russian Russian Roulette.

Ever since middle school, my "bless you" interaction has always been:

• "Bless you."
• Them: "Thank you."
• "You're welcome."

And whenever I sneeze, it's "bless me, thank me, I'm welcome."

Thank you for attending my TEDtalk.

People that say shit like this don't listen to enough music to make such sweeping claims. Your parents may have had music tastes that you align with closer than that of your teenage years.

Not to mention that the "old music" is fairly selectively the ones that stood the test of time, while the younger generation is still experimenting and figuring things out. Expand your horizons; don't fall victim to the bias.

Most people also don't see a multitude of different moons on a day-to-day basis.

I just want to point out that English's future tense does exist, but it's just non-distinct in many cases because, well, as you've said, English is fucked.

"We're eating steak."

You need context to determine whether this statement is talking about the present or the future. So much of the language is implied contextually that you can just drop off words and assume the listener will understand.

"What are we eating?" vs. "What are we eating tonight?"

It's so funny because whereas a lot of other languages have rules with defined exceptions here and there, speaking English is more of a theoretical approach.

It feels like English just happened one day and we're all trying to figure out why.

Trying to self-improve in a method that, regardless of its objective effectiveness, makes you feel satisfied and has no discernable effect on those around you?

Not if I can help it!

The better try-catch. More intuitive if you ask me.

What exactly is FFMPEG an alternative to? I keep hearing people mention it, but I've never stopped to look into it until now.

I tend to do some very basic video editing just to put an image with an audio file so I can upload my music to YouTube. This can do what I need it to do? To what degree can this replace a video editor with a full graphical interface?

Edit: Nevermind. I definitely misunderstood what the tool was at a fundamental level. Got it now.

I don't hate it. Pretty gusting if you ask me.

Imagine going to take a shower to relax and instead seeing this.

Your position is based on your love for God

I know this is ShowerThoughts, but even two seconds of thinking is sufficient to refute this. Also, if we're starting our scheduled hourly anti-crusades, shouldn't we be claiming the opposite: that often the highest members of the Church / churches exhibit the most ungodly and unfaithful behavior?

Is it working? -> (Yes) --> Fix DNS

"Misuse of the Oxford comma, bad speling and taking jokes too far."

Oh, neat! Yeah, I think I've seriously talked myself into getting a small third monitor. Using it for communication apps is a good idea, and I can definitely see having that when I'm just relaxing, or if I'm collaborating. Thanks for your response!

It's very rare that you find anyone on Lemmy/Reddit that actually takes more than eight seconds to critically think about the significance of "religion," and not just immediately monkey brain into "religion is for idiots." Alas, I hoped that this particular group think would've stayed behind.

A belief is not a religion, and a religion is not a belief. Any one person can be varying degrees of "religious," and any one person can hold varying levels of belief in a higher power.

I don't have much else to add because your comment was pretty well thought-out.

This horribly underestimates the laziness, indifference, and selfishness of the general public. It only works if you zoom out enough to ignore the individual's interest.

Ah, but you thought about it for more than a quarter of a second. That's not allowed.

I politely disrespect your opinion

No one's saying to ignore it.

If I own and run a sandwich shop, I don't need to be on the farm picking and processing the wheat to make the flour that goes into my bread. I could do that, but then I'd be a farmer, a miller, and a sandwich maker. All I need to know is that I have good quality flour or bread so that I can make damn good sandwiches.
