I don’t listen to my favorite artist much at all. I’ve listened to them a lot in my life, and i love their songs every time one comes up randomly, but I’ve heard all their songs so many times in my life that i almost never purposely play them
“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they’ve been fooled”
After someone has been convinced of something, it’s very hard to convince them that they were wrong because now their ego is on the line. And the longer amount of time they’ve believed what Trump says then the harder it will be to convince them that he’s a lying con man, because they’d have to admit to themselves and their community that they were massively conned. And they would to some degree have to even question whether their entire worldview is wrong.
Questioning your own ideas and trying to determine if you’ve been wrong about something takes a lot of openness maturity and emotional intelligence, which are things conservatives statistically are not good at
AI doesn’t require a company. There are already AI created by independent groups
It sucks that mercator became the standard map. I know basically nothing about maps, but i know how not-great mercator is. Of the little i know about cartography I like Winkel Tripel the best
I hope this gets the streisand effect, but it’s probably too geeky of a topic for that
Because there are enough people who are selfish, short sighted, or disinterested, and an enormous number of things in society require coordination, long term thinking, and decisions made every single hour of every single day.
That’s totally unworkable. Almost everything in society would completely stop functioning
I’m pinning my hopes on crude oil prices being much lower after the 10-20 years it would take to sort out the territorial disputes and complete construction of rigs that could pump oil in large volume. Oil will still be very valuable in 10-20 years, but i would guess it’ll be much less valuable then, and hopefully the price will be low enough to make it not worth the massive outlay cost
Exactly, the nutrition label isn’t a list of all substances found by chemical analysis, it’s literally just the most important “nutrition” information
Pic isn’t showing up on fedia.io (which is an mbin)
I have the opposite opinion. There are very few dishes that can’t be delicious if made well.
It wasn’t just a threat, there was a specific plan and prepared weapons
From the history section of that page:
In 1930, Yrigoyen was ousted from power by the military led by José Félix Uriburu. Although Argentina remained among the fifteen richest countries until mid-century, this coup d’état marks the start of the steady economic and social decline that pushed the country back into underdevelopment.
Woah spot on! Today was the day for your highly specific knowledge to shine! Thanks!
Hah back then the word “laptop” want even invented yet. I believe they were called “portable computers”

For most people under 50 i would guess they cant remember which it was. Even 40 years ago there were lots of arcade games, home game systems, and little portable game devices. So most people under 50 probably can’t remember the actual first one they played.
But you can answer the question “what’s the first video game that you remember playing?”
For me it was some atari 2600 game that a much older cousin had, i don’t remember which specific game it was.
There’s nothing about small-time landlords that’s worse than the evil that many people contribute to the world through their jobs like being a banker or manager of a walmart etc. If you have like 2 or 3 properties you rent out then that’s just making your way through the capitalist world we’re all stuck in. The evil of buying up properties to rent out comes when you’re really hogging up like 5 or more properties. IMO, obviously.
iirc they ran out of money and weren’t even able to make it look the way they intended. Like they planned for it to have a 5th face or wanted to do full bodies or something like that but they couldn’t get it done
This. Racism, bigotry, homophobia, xenophobia, etc will never go away, but hopefully it will go back to being something that is shunned instead of promoted
