  • "But I did my own research!"

    Jump

  • True. However the fringe "influencers" often are the most vocal against the government and usually default as the "voice of reason" by simply being there.

    Actual objective and unbiased information needs a visible and relatively trustworthy representative regular people can latch unto. Which is difficult because they will be attacked from all the sides who will be hampered by such a presence.

  • But you would need to be a mechanic or at least mechanically minded to know exactly where in the engine that noise is coming from what part it is what part needs to be fixed how best to go about getting said part that needs to be replaced installing the part and then charging for labor.

    You say this as if people who aren't mechanics or mechanically minded are physically unable to learn these things or deduce them on their own. Is the human brain/mind that limited and obsolete in your view?

    Should I also assume you're in favour of stratification in a sort of caste system where people who are disinclined in a domain shouldn't be allowed to participate because in your eyes they simply can't and they are innately wrong to do so? Or is that me overreaching?

    And while it’s true that any one individual is not infallible usually when you get a collective of experts in their field they’re not all going to be wrong at once in the same way.

    As social animals, it has been proven repeatedly that we will make the wrong choices in order to be a part of a social circle. So regardless of any individual knowledge and actual beliefs, emotional interference can and does have people in a group decide to be wrong at once in the same way.

    I’m sorry but somebody doing armchair research from their computer at home is not going to be able to suddenly stumble upon the answer that a panel of experts completely ignored.

    Disagree. It's extremely unlikely, but not impossible. A clear and relaxed mind with an outside perspective can notice details an involved and burdened mind will subconsciously ignore.

    The armchair expert won't be intricately aware of all the know-how and it's highly likely they will be wrong in most aspects, but as small as it is, there is always a chance they will understand a correct piece that is otherwise dismissed out of hand.

  • Top of their fields are still human. They have flaws just like the rest of us and the ones who can boast continuous ethical integrity throughout their presumably long careers are very few, if any.

    Even though they are the best in their line of work, no domain is spared by deviant interests such as corporate, political or even personal.

    And though unlikely the average person will unlock the secrets of the universe, it's still possible, even if they won't realize it at all. Dismissing the plausibility fully is in itself a flawed decision made in part by our own lacking abilities overall.

  • They make it make sense in the way the reader wants it to make sense.

  • Just in case you were wondering.

    Jump

  • Nah, it's humans. Humans get farted on the most. Walking on foot? You're walking through farts. Using public transportation? Farts. Going inside any building open to the public? You've guessed it, farts. The more crowded a place, the higher the concentration of farts.

    Please remember that no matter where you go, someone will fart in your general direction.

  • Tesla has yet to start testing its robotaxi without driver weeks before launch

    Jump

  • They've been successfully blaming the victims so far and are likely riding the high off that.

    Frankly, at this point in time anyone still using Tesla in any form is practically begging to be harmed in some way.

  • Embracer Games Archive is preserving 75000 video games and needs contributions

    Jump

  • If I'm not mixing up the ownerships, Embracer is owned by UAE royalty? Far as I know, many MMO and mobile games "whales" hail from there and their enjoyment of video games is genuine.

    So this effort might be sincere, but it may also be them trying to pwn some noobs in some way.

  • What are some of the stupidest, non-political takes you've seen on the fediverse?

  • Usually it's hardware difference and compatibility between components. Small pieces with subtle variations and imperfect manufacturing often create unpredictable instability.

    Jump

  • I think there's a limited number of optimizations that can be made and eventually some settings will conflict the old with the new at a fundamental level. And support for older or weaker hardware tends to get tossed to the wayside because it's likely not the main money maker for them.

  • Is anyone else suddenly waking up super early for no reason?

  • In my current opinion, it's the architect. We can't expect everyone to have the same knowledge or there wouldn't have been a need to hire the architect. He either should've enlightened them beforehand or be present during the installation.

  • Reddit will tighten verification to keep out human-like AI bots

  • Hah, yeah. One could say it's a form of digital nepotism.

    "Only our bots get go work here!"

  • Lol, they're the ones using the bots to fake engagement in the first place.

  • I read all the comments, they're all wrong. It's actually the Moon energy flow that's moving from wax on to wax off. Or was it wax off to wax on? I forget. Anyway, you need to surround yourself with anti wax on wax off energy stones or pro wax off wax on energy absorbing stones.

    Just place one above your pillow on a stand, shake it a little while lying down and you will soon be on your way to having a restful and peaceful sleep.

  • Don't forget to have your internal organs sucked out and placed in jars just in case you wanna come back down for a visit.

  • Did you know that had the series continued, Inara would've been fed up with Mal's indecisiveness and decided to solo raid a Reaver ship? By the time the rest of the crew would've managed to save them, she'd already fucked them all to death and moved on to take on the government singlehandedly?
