Any pronouns. 33.

I'm using a new phone keyboard, please forgive typos.

  • So, as far as a casual one on one conversation, I don't know. But some sort of formal petition to the public or a person of power, I would look for known geological activities like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions before going back in time. Weather events are too fickle. We can't really affect geological events though.

    It looks like Mount Iliamna had a known eruption in 1876. You could spend a few months getting attention before it happens. The same way people who give very specific doomsday predictions do. This way, once the eruption happens everyone will be certain you're telling the truth. Or at least, most people won't think you're crazy. They may still be skeptical, but this will be enough to get people to lend you and ear and take warnings seriously. It is probably too early in the industrial revolution to really get people to slow down their progress if you want to stop climate change. A similar stunt around the time the first suppressed reports of climate change happened would be better at that.

    Holocene eruptive activity from Iliamna is little known, but radiocarbon dating seems to indicate at least a few eruptions, all before the European settlement of Alaska. Prehistoric eruptions have been dated to 5050 and 2050 BCE (VEI-4), 450 BCE and 1650. Historically observed eruptions took place in 1867 (VEI-2) and 1876 (VEI-3), with unconfirmed eruptions in 1933, 1947, 1952 and 1953.[7]

  • I'm open to using non-federated software. I think federation is cool and useful but I don't see it as necessary in any way when choosing what to use.

    The biggest things are features, existing username, and/or ease of getting my friends on it. User base size is why I didn't use Mastodon for niche hobbies of mine.

  • I have the "touch grass" one from April Fool's day. It's pretty funny.

    I paid $30 for a year of Nitro basic. I don't think I'll do it again. All the actually useful features for me (longer messages and bigger uploads) are behind the more expensive one, and it's not worth it.

  • Part of that is because ads that are enjoyable and for things people enjoy often don't even register as ads to people. When people think of ads they typically think of unwanted distractions for things they don't want. They don't necessarily think of something like a free sticker for their favorite video game given to them at s convention. They may even put it on something like a laptop or water bottle. The same people may say they "hate ads".

    I'm not trying to throw shade on those people, I think pretty much everyone is going to be accepting of at least some type of hypothetical thing that's enjoyable and/or useful to them. A prime exam is having a business listed in a directory. Someone mentioned that as an alternative to advertising as if companies don't pay to put their names in those directories.

    None of this is meant to be any sort of criticism against anyone based on what they do or don't view as an ad, I'm just trying to help explain why, at least some of the time, it seems "people in the real world are depressingly accepting of ads."

  • The meme says saved, not just download.

    1. Open Recorder app.
    2. Record and press save.
    3. Open Files app.
    4. The file is not in recent.
    5. The file is not in audio.

    Delete this bullshit.

  • It's one of the most frustrating things ever. Anyone acting like navigating Android's files is anything similar to navigating any desktop computer's files needs some perspective. "You said this is difficult, but for me it's easy, therefore it's actually easy."

  • I noticed he used the wrong care when talking about EVs, Volt instead of Bolt, and constantly could not get Kansas Town tames correctly. [...]

    When he got called out for it he said "Its fine and it does not make any difrence to the video, except it was the wrong car

    Do you really disagree? Those two names rhyme and b and v sound extremely similar. Does getting that minor of an error warrant a retraction in your mind? If it does, you should retract your comment because you have typos in it. I personally don't believe they make any difference, but since you do you should retract.

  • I can't see the parent of this comment (defederated or blocked, idk), but it's possible SmarterEveryDay believes in creationism as I believe he's Christian. That said, I watch his channel religiously (har har) and as far as I can remember he hasn't spread any creationist propaganda.

    The worst thing he's done is make videos supporting the US Coast Guard. They're still interesting and informative, but it's still military propaganda in some sense. It's fairly tame though.

    There are probably other edutainment creators to worry about more than him.

  • He doesn't really put out videos very often and also took multi year hiatus recently.
