The point of the word is to give more context, so it’s clearer what’s being described. Same with the word user, you could say “Steam has 40m humans”, or you could say users.

Kids today: We. Are. Literally. Dying. McDonald’s is SO expensive!
It’s not that we olds think you deserve to suffer because we did, but… we did… Kinda hard to entertain modern complaints.
I mean, I’m sad you had to live like that, but that doesn’t mean young people shouldn’t complain either. It’s insane that in the west in the 1990s, let alone in 2025, anyone would be forced to live like that. We have the resources to do better than that, and many countries do, but the US is a broken economic system since the Reagan era.

Interesting, didn’t know those details, I’ll try it out with just a bar of soap, but I did find that I enjoy e.g. the feeling of my hair when I use my current shampoo (Head & Shoulders) instead of some others, and I feel like it’d be significantly easier to spread with a liquid shampoo rather than a bar of soap.
- Comment on This is the type of Q&A that makes the internet so important 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I use shampoo on my balls, ass, front, armpits and hair. Back is a pain so I don’t and I pretend the arms and legs don’t exist cuz I can’t be bothered.

That’s kind of sad, Marie died in 1934, and her daughter got a Nobel prize in 1935. I’m sure she would have been extremely proud to see her daughter also get a Nobel prize.

I mean, not the whole world is the US. Plus, at this point you’ll get a better paying job if you go into trades.
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 1 month ago:
I get that, but I personally find that I often do care about the exact time, down to the minutes, and that’s harder to track with an analogue clock. I don’t have particular problems in reading them, I just often prefer digital clocks.
But I will agree that I feel analogue clocks give a better vibe of the time, since its basically a pie chart of how far you are in the day.

The tech and the physical product is good. The software and the system around it is bad.

From what I’ve seen, it’s actually a really good product. Just that the company is trash and forces subscriptions and the mattresses to be always online.

Some do, have one that does it, was useful once because I locked myself out of the house and was able to reach in and open that door from the outside.

Sure, I get the biology and technical aspect of it and I can understand that something could evolve whose atoms would move in such a way that it results in an object that is capable of responding dynamically to its roundings, plan and think. But for that collection of atoms to then result in this experience, I feel is extraordinarily exceptional.

The weirdest thing to me is that it’s literally impossible to measure and detect whether something has consciousness. Every other thing in our universe can be measured theoretically, even if not by our current tools, but there is no way to confirm that someone else is experiencing what I am experiencing currently. It’s just so weird.

I don’t believe in God nor am I religious, but consciousness just feels so fucking weird man. Everything in the world can be explained through science and physics, cause and effect, hell even our brains and actions are just a chain of atoms interacting. But consciousness just feels so out of place. Why am I? Why am I even aware of my own existence? Why has a set of atoms resulted in my non-material consciousness? It feels so out of place. Why isn’t it just a bunch of atoms bumping into eachother, why am I capable of feeling and thinking?

I’m think it’s implied that you can only take pull out one ball at random from behind a door.
- Comment on Jigsaw Trolley Problem 5 months ago:
I think the ball is at C3.
Albert knows that Bernard doesn’t know where it is exactly, that means the ball can’t be in the first two rows, because if it was that would mean there’s a chance for the ball to be in column 5 or 6, in which case Bernard would known right away where it is exactly (as those columns have only one ball). This means the ball must be in row C or D and column 1, 2, 3 or 4. We know Bernard was able to deduce the exact position of the ball from this information, which means it can’t be column 1 (as there are 2 balls still remaining there). That means it must be in column 2, 3 or 4. We know Albert was able to deduce the exact position if the ball from this, and since row D has 2 balls still in play (collumn 2 and 4), meaning Albert wouldn’t be able to guess which one it was, that means it’s in row C, as row C has only one ball left in play.
Now idk what the correct choice would be statistically. If I remember correctly, the Monty Hall problem states that there’s 2/3 of a chance you’ll get it correctly if you switch doors, but since a gold ball was pulled out from behind the first door (the ball at C3 is gold), I think that means there’s a 2/3 chance of the first door (the one from which the ball was pulled out of) being the one with all gold balls (since it contains 2/3 of all gold balls). In that case I think the probabilities cancel out? Which means it doesn’t increase your chances whether you switch or not.
