  • The funny thing is, that people always assume that you can fix all kind of stuff just because you work in IT (or just know stuff about IT). In reality 90% of the time I have no clue what the fuck I'm doing and just pressing random buttons and reading the text next to the buttons hoping it fixes the problem.

  • Just because I Am in IT, that doesn't mean that I can repair your printer. And even if I could, theres no way I want to do that.

  • That's so fucking true. If I'm honest its usually trying to figure out how the fuck something actually is supposed to work. Its either by searching stuff online or changing single lines of code until it finally works.

  • Did you even read my comment? I clearly explained that shutting down single farms does not change the system, since the system in itself is broken.

  • I gonna intercept here for a bit. The Problem with "shutting down single farms" is, that this virtually has no effect at all. The entire conventional farming sector is quite fucked up. Everything gets optimised for the highest possible efficiency. This means, that everything that falls out of set norms will be eliminated.

    What I mean by this is, that, as example, piglins that didnt grow that well are simply killed by the farmers, because they can't be sold. This happens because no farmer will give you the same money for a piglin that has half the weight of the others and is much more likely to get targeted by the rest of the group. Since its illegal to kill piglins without a reason the farmers do it by themselves and then dispose them with the piglins that die when during, or shortly after, birth. Nobody notices, and it is not possible to control this (at least not realistically). The problem is, that this whole system so fucked up that by shutting down single farms you only combat symptoms of the system and not the root cause. By this I do not want to say, that we have to shut down the entire animal farming sector, but that we have to drastically reduce the intensity of the sector to shift production to quality instead of quantity.

    Source for the stuff I said: I grew up on a farm (not with piglins) and had to work in a piglin farm for 4 weeks. I have seen the stuff I said first hand and I devinetively did stuff that I'm now deeply ashamed of retrospect. The stuff I saw also matches the tuff I have heard from other sources.

  • This Moment when you first think about programming, because of scrub (or was it Scrum, idk I have no idea what this is, since I have never used it) and get confused as hell.

  • Former GM Executive: BYD cars are good in terms of design, features, price, quality. If we let BYD into the U.S. market, it could end up destroying american manufacturers

    Jump

  • Well yes, but actually no. BYD has quite of an advantage (also because China subsidies it), but american (and also European) companies have no incentive to actually design good quality products if BYD gets left out. At the same time CEO will try (and currently do it) to force us into working more and more for less money with less benefits while swimming in billions of dollars.

  • A recent discovery in gravity is that while gravity is a ''constant'', it actually fluctuates from place to place,

    I guess you are referring to the c9ncept of dark matter?

    To anyone who does not know what dark matter is:

    Dark Matter is the "solution" for differences in the real gravitational force a star has and how much gravity it should have based on calculations. Dark matter basically is matter that does not interact with light in any form (and therefore can not be detected) but still emits gravity.

  • Unexplainable yet. We may be able to understand how Gravity works.

    But of course you are right, there are absolutely things that can not be explained. It is (very probably) impossible to explain why our nature constants are the way they are or why forces act the way they do. The easiest answer to why they are the way they are is to say "They are this way, because if they would be a little bit different we could not ask this question". This sentence implies, that we live in some form of a multiversum and that there are multiple universes existent (in which form doesn't matter) but it is impossible to detect them.

  • I Am not from the US, but still thanks for the info. This is like the prime example to why "centrism" is actually just defending the status quo.

  • Okay, so what the fuck do these numbers mean? I seriously dont know and I Am kinda afraid of what they might mean.

  • Would you become romantically involved with someone with vastly different religious views?

    Jump

  • Probably not, but that entirely depends on what Religion is for Them. If Religion is only something that they themselves belief in and practice I dont really have a problem with it. If they however use their religious views to suppress others (e.g. trying to talk someone out of having an abortion because "pro life") that's an absolute no go for myself.

  • Devinetively possible, but I would advise to only go for weed, since its much "healthier" (compared to alcohol)

    Also not really a ling term solution.

  • Please dont mistake the German government for the entirety of Germany. I would say, that the support for Israel has massively decreased, due to their genocide. Our government however, does not fucking care.
