That list of murican wars was too easy. It would be more fun if it was a list of wars started in the 21 century. Or against Asian countries. Need some kind of constraint to make it slightly hard.

Who do you think is making the laws and deciding which ones are enforced? Capitalists.

There’s a lot of material about this. By chance I came across this wired history video that’s kinda related https://youtu.be/4GRVWIBYvOM

Is that an actual movie? Sounds like the sequel to Idiocracy. Or a sequel to current real world events. I’ve been having trouble telling apart these things.

Do you need a patent for that? Can you even patent something so silly and trivial?

Microsoft has enough things to be ashamed of, do you think one govt score and a fine of 100M would change any of that?

Hey fellow interneter, can I join you at screaming at the clouds?

Only the owner’s son is allowed to, and his cousin, and his wife’s friend. But everybody knows that and just fix their mistakes. They’re such a sport, is this wholesome? /S

I’d go further and say you must start from a standing position. Or else I can prove rocks can fly.

Addressed to those murican brothers. Signed: a Brazilian fan of Santos Dumont.

Yep but you also get a chance to get shot when you’re poor. And you don’t get to go home when you’re done.

The onion is nothing compared to real headlines

Pay wall

I had a dog that would be running clear of the poos and would make sure to steer and step on it. Also on multiple occasions we got her eating poo.

That was only in her rebel teen age, between 6 months and a bit over a year. Then she reduced to the point she stopped, but the fame stayed.

Not a big deal unless she jumped on our laps with dirty paws and tried to lick our face. Being a great dane, it was hard to not let her. If you don’t know what a great dane is, it’s one of those dogs that are closer to a poney than a German Shepard.

They weren’t using their brains before ai, what made you think they would now?

Are YOU using your brain right now?

There’s no fauna left there anyways, best thing I can get you is dead chicken in KFC.

I just made a reply post where I’m convinced that NOTHING changes well being long term. And I think reducing outcomes to either hours worked per person ( that only matters to billionaires , that were once called owners class ) or to wellbeing, is disingenuous.

The main source of wellbeing should NOT even be tied to income. We should measure how much satisfaction people have going to kindergarten theatre or weekend lunches with friends. But economists and presidents don’t give a shit about that.

INCOME should never be tied to oppressive, biased and unfair market forces and rigged laws.

The only war that matters is class war.

Yep

This looks to me like a reflection of a couple of things:

Employment quality is beyond control of participants. Dispelling the notion that working harder or less harder gets you better or worse jobs.

Short term well being is tied to short term good, with a minor trickle into long term goods. ( Like you may get most of your extra money into higher quality juice/butter/bread and in the case that your refrigerator breaks you are more likely to afford a new one).

Wellbeing increases for one year and then goes back to where it was: there’s research on people impacted by major life changing events such as becoming wheel chair bound. Its findings is that people happiness dips temporarily then returns to their previous baseline. This research seems to confirm that happiness/wellbeing is a personal trait that can’t be changed long term.

That’s as informative as a news article. Since it was an institutional address I expected actual technical information.

I guess I need to chase the scientific article myself.

It’s click bait, you’re using rational critical thinking and that’s overrated here.

I would rather have a social network where there’s no click bait but until it happens I won’t spend more than 2 seconds thinking about what the headline means vs what it implies.

Yes open to open mike, and no sense in pursuing a Bachelor in order to make money from music. That would only be required if you want to apply to an orchestra position, and accept that the amount of people that studied music 6h per day over several years is much higher than you think.

There are many ways to make money out of music, and most don’t pay the bills. Guess what most musicians do? Teach.

As the other reader says, the point of studies is to develop objective truth.

After one generation, this new objective truth starts getting ingrained in people’s minds. That’s usually because after one generation the people who held old beliefs are out of the scene and new young people who believe in obvious things come to be part of the scene.

That’s how society changes over time. Not people changing their minds, but new people with a different way of seeing the same things.
