Lemmy had Karma but got rid of it because it’s so gameable that its only uses are bad.

We all have a reality translator in our heads.

It’s called our own perception and biases.

If it paid $30/hr a lot of people would be able to overlook the downsides.

The business was only viable because it could get people to break their backs for peanuts.

First quote is the old lie:

“Most Americans don’t want to do this work“ ( at the wages we want to pay)

Your argument is shit. It’s basically “some tourists bad, therefore all tourism bad.”

Like how dare people want to see the world?

Kelvin decribes physics

Fahrenheit describes typical human environments

Celsius describes water

I absolutely do not want Amazon or any parts of the surveillance state learning anything about the privacy of my home.

Losing your sanity is much worse than losing your money.

Alumina ore was smelted/refined to isolate the pure metal.

Using the preexisting naming convention that ore->metal goes a->um, the discoverer of the element named it Aluminum.

Later, British chemists got mad that their US naming standard was different from their own standard.

Why do we keep electing sellout Democrats who won’t even do their jobs? We haven’t even had a real primary in 17 years.

They didn’t copy the gods, they just said it’s the same guy under a different name and we worship them too.

It’s like foreign fans of a domestic TV show.

They require ID for pickup at locations that experience a lot of theft.

Cost of remaking stolen orders has to exceed staff cost of checking IDs.

PHEV Pacificas are great

Wouldn’t want any 60 years olds creeping on 54s.

Careful, telling people that Dessalines bans people for wrongthink is a good way to get banned for wrongthink.

It’s a passenger plane. I don’t think 200 people slid to the back of the plane after rotation.

Sounds like the planes Boeing sent to India had foreign object debris rattling around inside conduits.

That’s a ticking time bomb for random electrical failures, such as both engines shutting down right after takeoff.

Looks like it stalled due to lack of thrust. What could have killed both engines right after takeoff?

It wasn’t originally named the Countach, that’s just what someone said when they saw it, which is sort of like naming it the “Daaayum!”
