  1. Social media makes it worse, but this also happens as generations pass. Those who witnessed the horrors of WWII are basically now all dead and not around to slap their grandkids for being idiots
  2. Gullibility? Ignorance? Preference for simple falsehoods over hard truths? I could go on
  3. No excuse required. I’ll comment wherever and however I please (until I’m restrained by group norms and enforcers of them)
  4. He will target them with sanctions if they refuse and extort them into compliance. He will also order US forces to drop the people there as if to “dare” the receiving nations not to accept. Expect local sheriffs and off the books militias / shooting clubs to play a big role even if that’s not how it appears on paper. Maybe more to the point people are being “educated” by forces who don’t always have the best interests of others as a priority. The AfD stuff in DE is more a start to this and not an end, sadly.
  5. Xenophobia often alters targets but rarely underlying causes.
  6. That’s a fault of humans not of science Depends on how one defines free will. Also off-topic
  7. They are not, however and as I trust you already know, immune… especially in light of the way human minds in large swaths are being tuned like forks by those in control of social media and information diet dials.
  8. That’s a feature of science, not a bug
  9. The enshitification of the internet and online watering holes more broadly isn’t restricted to SFN nor caused solely by ridiculous rejects trying to shoehorn religious topics into every discussion
  10. Wow. Usually folks have to pay extra for that type of insight. Have you considered podcasting?
  11. You’re the one who introduced the subject of judgment. Circle. Circle. Circle. Jerkle. Jerkle. Jerkle. Strawman. It’s actually worse if you’re not a troll bc it means you’re a moron.
  12. This reminds me of tides in the ocean. The moon is an enormous input, but the H2O molecules still are far more subject to local forces like electromagnetism. I suppose in this example the other brain regions are the moon and the thalamus is the ocean Yes, in much the same way that our cortex is shielded by our skull and our hearts by our rib cage. The most important bits tend to be best protected as they’re foundational to proper functioning of all the surrounding regions… a bit like a hub is to the spokes on a wheel Thanks for sharing your explorations with us. Your interest is infectious
  13. The “topic” is seeing how long he can keep people engaging, how long before he can make them emotional and lash out, and how long it takes staff to shutoff his account
  14. False. Hearts can be tired decades before death
  15. You claim comprehension, yet so consistently display the opposite Do try to follow along. God isn’t required for judgment on our thoughts and actions. We have ourselves and also the society in which we commune to provide such feedback and consequence.
  16. iNow replied to m_m's topic in Relativity
    False. Frame of reference for earth is valid. Frame of reference for light is not. Undefined since light isn’t a valid reference frame. Again, you may as well be asking: “How loud is potato divided by zero, and express the answer in units of Celsius”
  17. iNow replied to m_m's topic in Relativity
    By definition and it’s equally by definition never at rest
  18. iNow replied to m_m's topic in Relativity
    Light doesn’t have a valid rest frame so the question is meaningless. See also: How many times does zero go into Swiss cheese when doing division.
  19. Firstly, you introduced it for the first time 30 minutes ago here in this thread. No need to rely on memory to validate. You only have 20 posts so it’s easy to check. Secondly, nobody suggested otherwise so strawman much? Just another boring troll it seems
  20. Technically, so do humans
  21. The lack of blood flow and any electrical activity whatsoever in the neural regions responsible for it. If this is not obvious to you, then you’re either making up your own definitions of what memory is, not arguing in good faith, or both.
  22. Classic creationist argument against evolution by conflating it with abiogenesis and suggesting all theories are same as all beliefs. Basic structure: “We’ve only witnessed parts of the process not all together when it actually occurred billions of years ago therefore your trust and faith in that as truth is no different from my trust and faith that goddidit. Both equal.”
  23. I wouldn’t say majority, but definitely many of those who are loudest and most prominent in our feeds and screens. It’s also not just any king, but specifically a king who scapegoats and targets the correct “enemies” next door as the root cause of that voters problems.
