Putin?

Yes, you can actually “brainwash” yourself this way. Every time you remember something, you’re basically rewriting the memory into your brain. So every time you remember something, it becomes less reliable as it has more chances of being corrupted by new information.

So if you remember a childhood memory, then for some reason you add a detail that wasn’t there before, that’s the new memory.

Example: you remember going to the zoo as a kid, and you remember seeing a monkey. Then your mom shows you a photo album of your trip to the zoo, and in it, there’s a picture of you watching a lion.

Next time you remember that trip to the zoo, you’ll probably remember seeing a lion too, even though originally you didn’t at all.

Memory is incredibly unreliable.

That’s kind of terrifying if it translates to humans the same way.

Are future generations just gonna be walking around with aneurysms, limping about with reduced brain function and start dropping dead from strokes left and right at a certain age?

ABC paid $15 million, as far as I know CBS hasn’t paid anything yet.

Is Trump gonna take in all those people? Maybe they can live at Mar-a-Lago. Or start a Palestinian community near his house.

Take in the 2 million Gazans and give them a nice place to live.

Let’s see how Florida and his base of xenophobes like that.

And what do you do with the ones that don’t want to move? Put them in a train by force and ship them somewhere? Sounds familiar?

You can try this.

It’s not perfect, but whatever is missing, you can just search it up.

Have you tried an image search lately? It’s fucking terrible. It’s all AI generated crap. They need a filter to filter out any AI generated image.

This doesn’t eliminate the paradox. Why does the contract exist in the first place?

It’s a moral standard. If moral people didn’t decide that tolerance was a good thing for society, the contract wouldn’t exist.

So yes, thinking about it as a contract sidesteps the paradox, but the paradox still exists.

So Karl Popper was still right and society shouldn’t tolerate the intolerant.

Yeah, not really. Only the Capitol Police are saying that.

I bet most cops are happy.

I hope they do and replace Facebook. But in their current iteration, they won’t. That’s all I’m saying.

As much as Facebook sucks, these things will never replace it.

Just clicking through them, it’s apparent it suffers from the same problem lemmy has. You have to read things and follow instructions and then choose an instance…

Yeah, you lost everyone at the first step of having to follow instructions. People just want a Sign Up button, and that’s it. That’s the only step they’re willing to go through.

If, after clicking Sign up, they then have to figure out which instance (whatever that is) they have to choose, they’ll just quit right there.

Really? I thought most people moved to 7-Zip.

What?? Are you saying a writer who writes about crazy shit is guilty of doing or wanting to do those crazy things?

If that’s what you’re saying, that is absolutely insane.

How sad would the world be if writers couldn’t put down whatever comes up in their minds. How boring and stilted every book would be if writers had to constantly worry about what people would think about their writing.

The simple solution is that there is no “evil.”

I like the story The Egg by Andy Weir. It gives an example of that idea.

Alan Watts also talks a lot about that sort of thing.

Piracy is the best thing that happened to anime. Without it, anime and Japan wouldn’t be nearly as popular.

They’re shooting themselves on the foot. People discover anime and manga through piracy, and then if they love it, they end up spending money on it.

Just look at Berserk. I bet 90% of people who spent money on the mangas and all the deluxe editions discovered it through “illegal” means.

Seriously, all this crazyness with the US election has given me newfound sympathy for the people of Russia.

Americans literally have every respectable news source available to them, and they still get brainwashed by these buffoons because they only get their news from facebook, tiktok, fox news, and shit. They choose to be ignorant.

The Russian people at least have the excuse that they’re literally living under a dictator and are fed bullshit everywhere they look. They have to actively and at the risk of their security seek out valid sources for what’s actually happening.

Imagine if every news channel in the US was just Fox News. I guess we might not have to imagine it for much longer…

He’s kind of right, though. The story originally broke on October 18, and look at the dates of the links from your news articles. It’s all end of November. So it took them over a month to get on it.

It should have been national news on every tv station as it happened, not a small article a month later. Especially since we have a 24-hour news cycle.

But why undertake this elaborate millinery? One study published in 2016 investigated this question by holding trials involving the caterpillars and their natural predators — spiders and stink bugs. The researchers found that attacks on larvae with a stack of headcases took more than 10 times longer than attacks on larvae that had had their stack removed. They found that the empty head capsules acted as a false target for predators and could also be used to deflect the piercing rostrum of a predator.

No, because you’re eating the flesh, so you’re digesting it.

This is more relevant to organ transplants.

Apparently, it’s a known phenomenon that some organ transplant recipients seem to inherit some traits and even memories of organ donors.
