It’s shocking to me when people say that reddit moderators are more overbearing than here. They’ll literally ban you for how you vote here. Lol

Read the post?

Where on reddit was as bad as .ml? Other than maybe the Donald or conservative?

That game is tons of fun, but I suck at it.

There is a kid on my son’s soccer team (East Coast) who is from Cali. I asked him why his family moved here. Unfased he said some forest fire burned his home down and then when they found a place to live again another forest fire burned it down. I guess is parents were like “fuck this.”

I can’t tell if you are actually this clueless or just disingenuous.

You asked me what I was implying, I told you nothing, then pointed to my explicit point.

It doesn’t. It’s almost like you are wilfully ignorant about thinking critically.

Nothing, I explicitly said “we should be as skeptical of that which supports our beliefs as we are of that which contradicts it.” I don’t know how I could have made it more clear.

And I never said they did.

I live in a small suburb right outside of a major us city.

To the nearest convenience store: .6 km To the nearest chain supermarket: .9 km To the bus stop: .3km To the nearest park: 1.0km To the nearest big supermarket: .9km To the nearest library: 1.2km To the nearest train station: .6km Straight-line distance to big Ben: 5708 km

You certainly got me on big Ben distance.

But this is why the question is kind of silly. America is a huge, diverse place. When I lived in NYC, I was probably closer to everything than you. Where I grew up in an almost rural area, the closest thing was over 5km away. And this isn’t even all that bad because I had a friend who grew up in an unincorporated area where she had to drive 30min just to get her mail.

The only issue that really matters to me is climate change. Or maybe plastic.

But this is the same as the picture of the statue of liberty that is used to “debunk” sea level rise by showing the level at the same height, despite being taken 100 years apart. Were they taken at the same tide? Same time of year? Is there any other factor at play here?

This is a “shoe is on the other foot” moment, and we should be as skeptical of that which supports our beliefs as we are of that which contradicts it. Maybe especially so because confirmation bias is a hell of a drug.

Yup. My strategy has long been:

1. Put game in wishlist.
2. Wait for it to drop to under 20$ (or close)
3. Profit. Well maybe not profit, but save money.

What did it do to YouTube? I remember there being a huge uproar over it…but I don’t use it much but totally forgot that this even happened as it has made no difference for my light use.

Well, yeah. Duh. That goes without saying.

What am I missing here?

Sounds to me like she wanted a picture with him. But even if it was that way, the compliment isn’t weird, she’s just weird.

Well sure, some people have no hands and need a completely different way to input keys. But I figure we weren’t talking about the exception, and you didn’t actually answer the follow-up question.

Is this a joke? It’s so easy. What would be better?

Man, if I had to shit every time I wanted to cut something I would have to do all of my programming on the toilet and not just some of it.
