Just left during the API thing. I’ve rarely been back, mostly to the subreddits for games I play (unfortunately still the best communities for them) but I used to spend hours a day there, and now it’s minutes a month if that much.
Never banned or even shadowbanned as far as I know.
Grew up in a Christian household, but grew out of that kind of superstition around high school or a bit younger. My parents never did, so that and politics caused a bit of tension, but never enough to keep us from talking to each other, visiting, etc.
If you are assuming we live in a simulation, then you have to assume everything else about it too - there is no evidence to point in any direction about anything higher than our own layer, so ours is the only one we can do science on. All else would be imagination, so make up whatever you like.
I do agree though that a simulator can’t fully simulate itself, so yeah, it would have to be bigger and more complex in at least some way, which could simply be runtime.
You’re right, that call was ridiculous. Everyone knows he doesn’t talk.
Trump was explicitly the inspiration for rich-Biff in Back to the Future part 2, so if you’ve seen that, you’ll have some idea of how people thought of him.
This is one of the things that could have been a nice feature, but the devs never fixed it as far as I know.
It should let you set a default, and options in the list should include ‘detect from browser settings’, and ‘most recently selected’. (Default should be that one probably, but on the very first post it should detect it automatically.)
If they had done that, and encouraged the same in apps and other clients, then filtering by language would actually work and not exclude the vast majority of posts.
There are hundreds (at least!) versions of the bible, and that’s just in English. Would have to make sure it’s exactly the same one.
It looks like a code even when not trying to.
The concept for this is called Steganography and that article has several examples, but most would be difficult without tools/references.
The easiest would be stuff like using certain letters of words or word lengths as mentioned in some other comments here.
Jury nullification can be used for evil.
From Wikipedia:
“White defendants accused of crimes against black people and other minorities were often acquitted by all-white juries, especially in the South, even in the face of irrefutable evidence. An example is the trial of Roy Bryant and J. W. Milam.”
So I do think it’s a bit of a mixed bag.
But why?
I’d think in all of those cases it should be the variant that has the greatest population or proximity.
The only things I can come up with so far are birthdays, holidays, vacations, etc. Nothing actually specific to 2025.
I guess I’m looking forward to eventually buying a new laptop, but that’s not really year specific either.
So I guess my answer is it ending. Same for the next 3 after it.
I really wish I had a feasible way out.
Toss a coin to your stripper, Oh valley of chintzy
I see the sentiment that money should be abolished here all the time, but this is the first time I’ve actually seen a proposed replacement. It’s an interesting idea.
That is a controversial opinion here.
(And I agree with it. I don’t know what the way is, but I hope it can be found)
Exactly.
I think around 48 hours.
High school LAN parties.
Parrots can be extremely intelligent, but are still dinosaurs.
In their mind it’s not a simple difference of opinion, it’s the fate of your eternal soul forever. They can’t understand how someone could reject infinite happiness in heaven for pure unending suffering in hell.
And even worse than that, you are (directly or not) saying they are wrong, that they are fools for believing in fairy tales, and not just about any old subject, but about the most important thing in the universe - it’s whole purpose.
That’s quite a hard thing for a lot of people to accept unfortunately, and some don’t take it well at all. I do feel like I was lucky that my parents didn’t take it as harshly as some do.
Probably helps that I’m still cis and straight, and grew up in a left-wing area, so it’s not like I’m the only atheist they knew.
