Theres plenty of people who complain about drivers who get ticketed for using a mobile while at lights or stopped in traffic (think of the comments on a particular uk cycle cammer who films drivers using their mobiles then reports them) but it plays heavily with situational awareness & drivers ability to “check back in” to the activity of driving.

I’ve asked those people “why do you lock the toilet door?”

Its not even defeatism, its willingly sacrificing themselves to the machine in hopes it will be merciful!

If it wasnt beaten by this, it comes a very close 2nd: “Firefox is trash at loading HTML websites”.

You can tell that fucker spends their time gibbering techno waffle bollcoks to old people!

Not to downplay their achievement because not only are they joint third in proving it using trigonometry (without any circular logic) but they then put forward another bundle of proofs that smacks of them saying “it ain’t that hard!”

I hope this is just the first time we hear their names like this!

Jackson and Johnson are only the third and fourth people known to have proven the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry and without resorting to circular reasoning. The two other people were professional mathematicians, according to the statement.

Reddit admins have already put things in place to counter editing or deleting comments.

I deleted an account from 2011 yet when I searched on Google for “site:reddit.com account name”, it listed loads of posts with their previous content (I used the script that changed all the contents before deleting).

All SM sites have been doing this for a while: they’ll shadow delete your account but will retain all the data.

One problem no one has mentioned, is that it also makes life a lot harder for homeless people.

But to those who organise those systems, they’re not consumers with disposable income or a credit line to spend. They are happy for them to fall through the cracks and people not using cash penalises them further by eradicating charity and widening divisions.

It is functioning as designed.

I would give it a swerve.

Exactly. If critical mass is achieved inorganically, it would result with a reverse in uptake & possibly even a revolt against it.

You can lead a horse to water… (but a pencil must be lead)

Upon looking at it again, I see it just wants me to type in “what is skibidi toilet” into Google,

More of a Simple Simon Says… really

The idea of a government or at least a democratic consensus and few people spearheading certain efforts does make sense in my mind.

Most people cannot imagine a world without a state. It’s absolutely ingrained from an early age that we cannot survive without one so people do not even consider alternatives.

People with power/money are actively coopting every entity that can limit their power. You cant change that.

Because those with power will always try to assert it over those with none. There is an inane belief that being endowed with wealth and/or power somehow makes them morally superior.

Guillotines quickly dispel that myth! ;)

if the government goes, another form of government comes and it will not be great because people arent educated and self thinking enough for that.

As soon as people invest in their community and begin putting into place structures of support, the time will come when the state is removed, becomes impossible to reinstate unless those community structures are destroyed, because why would you need the state if people are doing things for themselves better, more efficiently and with less corruption?

Our dependency on the state is nurtured because it exists only to maintain the status quo of the wealth & power of the elite class.

It is impossible to reform such a corrupt institution.

Exactly. The government cracks the whip but the rich own it.

Get rid of the rich & the govt will just transfer ownership of the whip to another entity.

Crops are already failing. As a species, we will do nothing but panic at the last moment and look to assign blame

Not scabies (caused by tiny, parasitic bugs), but scrapie.

Bah… That’s my phone autocorrect and not proofreading my comment before posting!

It was grinding up scabies infested sheep into bonemeal then feeding to cows that caused the bovine spongiform encephalitis (BSE) in the UK in the late 80s

I’m banking on it being a grift so it will raise a lot of funds for the person who set it up!

I didnt check if its only funded if the target is reached or whether its all cash taken at donation. Its very likely the latter because the grift aint gonna grift itself!

They don’t ALL need two kidneys!

They started as soon as the judgement was handed down the other month!
