I guess all the “ENHANCE” we saw in movies and tv wasn’t bs, just ahead of its time.

Nice! As a follow up, is there a good app/source to get more positive articles Ike this regularly?

Ooh I dug through recipe apps a while back, I ended up using Pestle. It’s pricier than Paprika but I prefer the Pestle UI. Both good apps with similar feature sets, just providing another option.

Paprika - $5 Pestle - $20/yr or $40 lifetime

This is all correct and is commonly known as redshift or blueshift. It’s the same idea as when a car or train passes by and you hear the pitch get higher as it approaches you, and then lower as it leaves you.

To add to it though, stars themselves (regardless of our perspectives on them) do come in different colors. Betelgeuse is an easy star to find in the night sky that has a distinctly redder color compared to most stars. It’s the left armpit star in the constellation Orion.

Stars have different colors based on many factors like their composition and how hot they burn.

It’s just poorly-worded and written like a late-night tv infomercial. That should be your first clue, whenever the tone of the content is speaking to you like you’re stupid or gullible.

“Does Joe Biden eat children for breakfast?! Wait until you see what we’ve uncovered. EVERYBODY KNOWS Sleepy Joe is hiding something, don’t let him Destroy America and Take Your Freedom!!!”

I clicked, wanted to make sure I wasn’t being biased and ignoring news I didn’t like…

That article, what little I could get through of it, reads like it was written by a failing high school student, at best.

Unsure if the author is brain dead, the target audience is brain dead, or most likely both.

I did. Probably wasn’t worth downloading that app.

No surprise there. Was dating a girl and she asked me to sign up so she can get some discount. I already knew it was a trash app but signed up anyway, because sex.

I’ve never seen a more cancerous app in my life. Got her the discount she needed, promptly deleted my account and uninstalled.

Nah. Check this link. Second most populous site in the Fediverse behind Mastadon, which had a huge head start. Plenty of users have come and left, that’s fine. They will come in waves and growth fuels more growth. Most importantly, check out the last two graphs. Posts and comments continue to increase. Build it and they will come. There’s content here and in time more people will discover you can have the content and the community without the Reddit bullshit.

Unless you’re panting because you’re scarfing down food so fast you need to catch your breath, then yes.

Weight loss can pretty much always be simplified to calories in, calories out. All the different fads, trends, diets, and fasting are all just different means to either reduce your calories in, or increase your calories out.

Anything that makes you pant is more calories out.

Life in a Day

Not a movie exactly, creators asked some basic questions and invited people to submit footage from a single day in July 2010. Exciting or mundane, anything.

It’s really well put together and always gives me a refreshed perspective on my place in the world.

They did it again in 2020, during the pandemic.

Yea, FTL travel implies that we have somewhere else to go.

Now while I assume there are plenty of other habitable planets out there, strictly speaking we don’t know that.

Nuclear is carbon-free, I don’t see any problem with this. Solar and wind are not the answer to every problem, I think nuclear is part of a smart and efficient energy future.

I generally agree with the sentiment, but it’s not going to stop my gut reactions when people start talking things that I find ridiculous. Yes there’s a thought process there with some kind of logic and reasoning… but if you think the earth is flat, your logic and reasoning isn’t very good. Which is just a nicer way of saying someone is stupid lol. I don’t think the majority of people are stupid at all, I look at it like a bell curve and therefore the bulk of us are pretty average intelligence.

To your point though and along the same lines, I like to keep this in mind- a hunter/gatherer living 10,000 years ago has never seen a cell phone, has limited communication skills, math skills, no real concept of how big the earth is or that the sun is a star, by most measurable standards they probably peaked at the intelligence that a child has today. Don’t quote me, this is all just generalizations. But they lived every single day of their lives thinking and self aware, problem solving and innovating. What sort of knowledge about their world did they have that has been lost along the way? One thing we do know- they knew how to live in harmony with the planet, even if it was the only option. Even if we think we know, essentially none of are are willing to give up the conveniences that make our modern lifestyles possible, so knowing is irrelevant anyway. What else might they have known that we intellectually superior beings today are clueless about?

What does the person living on the street for 10 years know about the world that the stock portfolio manager doesn’t? Something, I’m sure, even if you and I might find it useless.

None of this applies to the average user though.

The vast majority of devices sold come with Windows or MacOS, so you’re suggesting that the average Joe should wipe their drive, pick a distro, and self-install and maintain a new operating system.

You and I know that it’s not as difficult as it sounds, but that’s asking a lot from people who can’t even bother to reboot their system when there’s been an update pending for 10 days.

I (foolishly) assumed we were talking about the obviously morally abhorrent stuff.

I jumped the gun then with assuming it was the latter. My b.

Sounds like you and lefty are concerned with protecting illegal activity here? Fuck that. I’m not okay with Lemmy being a hub for society’s most trash individuals.

Really good read, idk what the downvotes are about.
