I don’t think there’s more disinformation as before in terms of % of info being wrong, but a lot of people have gotten really good at calling it out. The best example on-hand is the “cigarettes are good for you actually” and “we will buy tramways put of every city in North America and tear them out, then sell you a car!”
It’s always been like this.
We didn’t have a printer so we wrote down the instructions and memorized them as much as possible because we understood that not paying attention to the road would get someone killed.
The same people can’t get their fucking eyes off their cellphone now.
I used to but I don’t anymore. I can’t afford to give money away when I can’t even pay for my own bills.
It’s a risk I’m willing to take!
They’re gonna fight it, but not for the fans. They’re doing it for themselves. They’re a company too.
A test for what? From where? I don’t get it
People often say “we should send one normal person to show how hard what they’re doing actually is”
This is what happens when we do
Give me your olives then. I don’t mind
That would be fine if they were trying to reverse ALL personal vehicle adoption, but nooo.
The problem with this is that this will encourage Canada to do the same, like the good little brother it is, and we’ll get fucked along with y’all -_-
Probably most. You’d see 1000s of articles every day non-stop, if 20%+ of people were this disgusting.
The fact that you can still be surprised is proof that most of them aren’t this disgusting.
Dude is legit running out of lawyers to hire lmao
It’s the original “I moved things with my FREAKING MIND!!!” From Forspoken
We also use it to weigh down our fishing lines… because we’re that smart.
First past the post voting, two party system means that mathematically, you are placing half a vote on Biden and half a vote on Trump by abstaining democracy doesn’t exist in the United States. Sorry you had to learn it this way. It’s also on its way out over here in Canada, don’t worry we’re catching up :(
Alternatively you could vote for whoever has the best platform LOCALLY in YOUR country, whoever that may be, and send angry letters letting them know that while you support some of their policies, you are uncomfortable with the president’s lack of support for a cause you consider just.
If we’re talking countries that are being attacked without cause, should we talk about how Trump doesn’t want to support Ukraine’s defense? You literally only care about one issue, don’t you? This whole election is riding on one point in a thousand possible issues to consider.
It’s potential. Matter can go there. Saying there is an end to the universe means that at some point, there is no possible expansion. It also means we are completely ignoring the tiniest infinitly small chance that our big bang wasn’t the only one. If you zoom out far enough, is there really zero chance that this “known universe” is actually just part of a greater whole?
imagining the universe as a contained thing with hard limits is what gives me the creep
I feel like I could talk about this for years, but I got video games to play. The short answer is I don’t feel like I have to know what caused the matter to all be at the same place and then expand to be satisfied with an infinite universe of finite matter. I wish my brain could understand how time as we know it started with the big Bang, but I think I’m slightly too dumb for that.
Because the universe is expanding. If it were finite it wouldn’t be able to expand. Emptiness is still “something”. If we were “at the edge of the universe”, we could still go further from the center, there would just be nothing for as far as we can perceive, maybe even infinitely, but then, we would be there. That makes it “a place”.
“The cosmos is not infinite, has a beginning and an end”
The fact that everyone around me seems to be persuaded that there is a beginning in time is unnerving to me. In my head, cosmos has always been infinite, and will always be infinite. Even if nothing is there, it will still exist.
The idea that anything before the big bang is considered to not exist has so many things wrong with it that I struggle to internalize it. If matter cannot be made or destroyed, that means that there will always be matter in one form or another.
At least you can count on Canada to send help to the more dire areas to stop the worst of the civilian impact. You’re not alone in the world.
