  The two are genuinely not comparable. Organized religions are often terrible, abusive superstitions, but there are degrees to the thing. Jehovah’s Witnesses are at the degree of public danger

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I guess we are fucked now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What if the true vacuum state is just different enough for new physics, such that everyone gets psychic powers and nothing else changes.

  Haters would say the real true vacuum state will take away my powers and I would psychically attack them for that view

  They should be taken down for false advertisement etc. You don’t get to claim not to discriminate on political ideology if you also censor and delist posts that you disagree with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon buys a TV without researching⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that true

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon buys a TV without researching⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the TV. Some can’t be used unless internet connected. Roku TVs are especially bad about this

  I appreciate the bit where you talk in third person, but I feel like you could do something better

  So good! I love how the conquest progressed over time.

  The extra reinforcement is OP tho haha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fully playable Star Wars: Battlefront 3 Wii build leaks online⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Image I’m not a bot, I’m just sad I never got to play this game. I went crazy for battlefront 2 when it came out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy birthday, peon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I always tell the months in advance that I’m going to take that day off. I haven’t been denied, and if they did I would just take the day off anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely true.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is it right here. Do not fanboy platform. Competition is very very important in this kind of market. But epic games is just the worst of all worlds.

  Release on GOG, I’ll buy it. If not, release on steam. Otherwise 🏴‍☠️

  A broken clock is right twice a day. A random number generator will also occasionally give you the right answer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want a name for this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I can’t listen to audio books. I just get lost in the soothing voice and my mind wonders. Paper books are where it’s at.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Haha SO TRUE!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If is was a real paper then I will read it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Haha SO TRUE!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This world is cruel…⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unironically, most of the women I’ve spoken too have found it attractive when I bring up 3dPrinting. It’s an active and interesting hobby, and tangible & crafty enough not to be too “nerdy” or whatever. Perfect middle ground, women love it.

  They probably just didn’t think of it or it wasn’t on the poll.

  I am lazy and hate cleaning so this is cool to me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What your coffee preparation method says about you⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What exactly is the arch one doing? That looks simple and awesome and I hate cleaning my French press.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Saying that last bit about time is not particularly meaningful for two reasons.

  First of all, we do not especially know the end state of the universe. It may not be true that all matter decays, and protons may be stable. We may be in a false vacuum which will spontaneously collapse in large timespans.

  Second of all, the hypothetical is a thought experiment. The monkeys are a placeholder for any random generation of characters. The though experiment also does not take into consideration the food required to feed monkeys for infinite time, nor their aging, mutation over generations, and waste logistics. It’s not meaningful then to suddenly decide to apply the laws of physics to them. The only laws applicable in this scenario are logic and mathematics.

  I generally agree with the rest of your take, I only have an issue with that last point lol. Cheers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Academic writing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the meaning of the actual words that he chose is less important than the fact that it sounds absurdly convoluted.

  Also I don’t think his point is true. If you read academic papers come up most of them are pretty easy to understand.

  Honestly an AI voice might be better than the male commander Shepard voice. That game is such slop.

  I’m disappointed with how many people are falling for this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nuclear fear-mongering is a ploy by Big oil⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This used to be true, and there was enormous investment in nuclear power.

  But the truth is that renewables have come a LONG way these past few decades. In many places, renewables is the cheapest energy to invest in, cheaper than even Fossil fuels in many cases. And much much cheaper than nuclear.

  Why build a nuclear plant when you can build diversified renewable energy sources for the same price or less?

  As a very small added bonus, renewables can’t be turned into bombs. Yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's with the 'Thanks' people?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I usually say thanks to either show genuine appreciation or to not sound demanding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is way too expensive for a drink.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The cost of the sugar is extremely minor compared to the price of bottling, transporting, and vending the tea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As if the tip actually goes to the dashers.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  No

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As if the tip actually goes to the dashers.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They get 100% of the tip, it’s a legal requirement. The scummy part is the company does this to give you the opportunity NOT to tip, and therefore subsidize the food for shitty people.

  Just in case, the few times I have ordered food, I put a dollar or two tip in the app, and add a note saying I’ll give them a cash tip. Usually I’ll give them a 2-4 Dollars more depending. If you’re using these services you need to tip, that’s how they make their livelyhood and feed their families.
