Technology Connections has in-depth videos about the workings of the dishwasher, so my armchair expertise make me doubt the expert’s claim that we need tablets.

Also, this reads more like a bland listicle than an helpful article.

I understand wanting to leave, but it’s hard to justify not giving any sign of life. This sounds like torture.

Are you saying that we can do to cows whatever we want to do to fruits? We don’t even treat cows well and you bend yourself backwards to say we should equate a cow to a fruit. Even when we know cows have sentience, preferences, and so on.

By that logic, if intelligent extraterrestrials arrived and forcibly raped me, I would not have a defense with all the bad points made in this thread.

You made me think that it would be an absolute cosmic joke if we discovered that the effects of cannabis on children under 13 were, paradoxically, incredibly positive. Imagine all the privileged parents being like : “I’m making sure he’s vaping THC all day, I want him to have opportunities!”

No need to respond to ragebait or sociopaths.

I click a button when taking my pill so I don’t take it twice by mistake, it also alerts me if I’ve forgotten my dose. Not really ridiculous, but I wanted to feel included lol

Sometimes, I think science educators aren’t political enough.

Cleo Abram’s interviews with Nvidia’s CEO, Zuck and Sam Altman are her only interviews to date, and they all paint them in a good light without being critical of their work. I get wanting to make it to the top, but simping for the capitalist elite is just not a good look in my book, especially when science communication should try to minimize bias.

I also remember her video about John Deere last year, giving the impression the company is only doing so much good in the world…

I think we all wish for this, no? It’s just that a fraction of people are creeps and they will creep.

That video made me laugh so much, then I noticed it was just an edit with the sound from another video :(

Imagine being a Linux user and a vegan, it’s absolute moral self-masturbation

Yes, but losing a lawsuit doesn’t mean much with this administration now, does it?

What is the “calories in calories out” shit?

To anyone reading this, the bystander effect is maybe not as strong as we once thought. Mainly because a 2019 study showed more than 200 real-life situations caught on CCTV where the bystander effect was not shown to happen.

I mean, you kind of cherry-picked there. A third of an inch is…?

I’m not sure Judaism encourages to do it this way lol

What?

If you speak to someone who has not reappropriated the word, yeah, they could be angry. But remember your point was that reappropriation is bullshit. Is it true that something is bullshit when it clearly works, but there are exceptions? It would be like saying feminism is bullshit because there are still gender inequalities.

Right now you just said “my point was never anything but perception of the words having not be changed”, but we showed you it definitely changed, in a lot of situations, for a lot of people.

Are you instead saying that the words haven’t entirely changed meaning for everybody, everywhere, in all contexts? Because then, it’s not really a good point. You can’t expect any cultural progress to work completely, there are people that will keep the old mentalities or not be updated for a while.

Maybe you live somewhere rural or something, I literally never heard it said as a pejorative except in movies, and I hear it plenty. People quite literally identify as queer around me, it’s a shining example of reappropriation working. People not getting with the program doesn’t mean the program isn’t working. For example, a lot of people don’t understand basic logical reasoning despite having been to school for a long time. It doesn’t mean school is new age bullshit.

Also, the word “tone” is polysemous. Maybe you didn’t know, but it makes me think I’m taking the troll bait?

There’s not much to figure out. If I use a certain tone, the word “queer” will still be used as pejorative, even if it’s mostly not these days. It sounds like you don’t really understand what you are complaining about, unless you have more to say to make your point?

Why would reappropriation be bullshit? And how is it new age?
