Its pretty clear that Mark and Micheal Reeves don’t focus as much on design and iteration so much as the ideas behind their creations. The content formula for their videos is different from the other youtube creators you mentioned. If that style of video isn’t your cup of tea, thats ok.
As for the inventions themselves, I have to disagree. I think some of Mark’s creations are fairly well designed, such as the later versions of the glitter bombs.
Open Hexagon is pretty good if you enjoy music reaction/arcade games. It’s an open source successor of Super Hexagon with several community made level packs. The only flaw is the steep learning curve of the gameplay.
I feel like faith provides a disproportionate of comfort compared to guidance. People take the parts of religion they agree with, and discard the rest. I actually think this is good practice, but it becomes an issue when they use the affirmation of the broader religion to justify their actions.
A moral compass is something you have to find for yourself, and acknowledge that it is not backed up or justified by any other entity than yourself.
For me, I’ve found a good starting point is the TST tenets. Compared to the 10 commandments, they are much more broad. I can use them as a lens to analyze a variety of different situations and organize my thoughts and feelings.
But that doesn’t mean that I use TST to justify my actions, the tenets are my tools of introspection. Heck, the 7th tenet even acknowledges that the tenets are only guiding principles and seems to encourage finding your own morals.
Throw away your vote to a 3rd party?
Isn’t this situation exactly when you should look to third parties? There is a large group of people who are dissatisfied with the policies of Biden and who absolutely do not want another term of Trump.
If you vote for either of them, it sends the message that you condone their presidency. If you abstain from voting then it sends the message that you don’t care about government policy and therefore, policy won’t care for your interests.
If you are a third party voter, aren’t the big parties incentivized to try and win your vote over for themselves?
I’m probably going to vote for Biden, but you have to wonder at what point does this diametric system break down.
I uninstalled the YT app on my phone and use the desktop site exclusively now. Can’t stand watching without ad block and sponsor block. I also blocked shorts.
You can also prove it a different way if you allow the use of the formula for finding the limit of the sum of a geometric series on a non-convergent series.
Sum(ar^n, n=0, inf) = a/(1-r)
So,
…999999
= 9 + 90 + 900 + 9000…
= 9x10^0 + 9x10^1 + 9x10^2 + 9x10^3…
= Sum(9x10^n, n=0, inf)
= 9/(1-10)
= -1
Because you could argue that the series converges to …999999 in some sense
It depends on the type of vegan. If they are vegan because they don’t like hurting animals, then lab grown meat is fine. If they are vegan because eating meat has a negative effect on their health, then it’s not fine.
X is privately owned. Like all social media companies, it has no obligation to be a microphone for anyone.
I occasionally use semicolons. They can help with parsing; finding a semicolon instead of a period may signify that the next expression is a continuation and expansion of the previous statement.
