Spaghettification

Not lead-acid?

That’s the secret of NIMH

They simultaneously see COVID19 as a Chinese bioweapon AND as a mild flu, switching based on context

Orwellian doublethink, except every thought is wrong

Do-gooder derogation is a well studied phenomenon

It’s not only stuff like lack of compassion. It’s stuff like feeling that it challenges your worldviews, makes you feel the other person think their better for taking action you’ve chosen not to take, etc.

They’ll react like that even against those who just try to protect themselves with a mask, just seeing it even if they’re not being asked to change feels like a provocation.

It’s like how Trump and Co talked about “the elites” (various experts) while being backed by the actual elites (billionaires). He wanted you to be scared of people who try to help you. Unfortunately the propaganda worked

Yeah it sounds just like existing IME dead reckoning navigation, but with different sensor types

Creative height is the bar for when something becomes protected (facts or obvious patterns aren’t protected), and functional features of a design aren’t protected. In general layouts are mostly functional (with exceptions) but button designs may mostly be expressive.

Also so many head photos taken from an angle right in front of the face or a bit higher, distorting the shoulders in ways you don’t notice but which matters when the algorithm tries to splice everything together into an averaged model

The main program is open, but the development tools are not

Russia doesn’t care about consistency

There’s a physics argument that information can’t be destroyed, so in terms of causality it has an effect (see butterfly effect for reference) but because of various physical thresholds like the planck length, general limits on measurement precision (uncertainty principle, resolution limits, detection limits), chaos theory, etc, at one point it becomes indistinguishable noise.

It’s not a competition :/

The Threads situation

January 1 2025, guess Steam preferred not waiting in this case

Besides all the other stuff mentioned, you can invite them to stuff occasionally and prepay everything. Make it a family event if you want to.

Plenty of family subscription services too (including for some of those your listed), although distance limits might come into play for some family subscriptions

Degree of certainty is the difference
