I'm almost certain I once saw one such study, but couldn't find it anymore, so yes, feel free to file my claim as bullshit.

What I did find was some articles about a problem called halation in which people with astigmatism or propensity for it can have the eyes dilate too much with dark mode making white-on-dark text illegible.

Not everybody lives in their parents' basement.
There are studies that found that dark mode can cause more eye strain, specially in bright environments.

Personally I enjoyed matrix 3 more than 2.

The Star Wars one could also apply to the sequels, keep the proportion but maybe lower by half? Ep. 8 certainly was the least bad.

Violence to maintain the system is policing;
Violence to change the system is terrorism.

@PugJesus
Isn't it more "the UN being created around 5 countries with veto power"?

Yes, that certainly applies to the most popular ones, but not necessarily true for all instances of these technologies.

Good it turned around, reminded me of that "if the brain was simple enough to understand, we would be too simple to understand it".

They are neat tools, if looked at realistically. They certainly don't deserve to be called AI. I like to call them High Coherence Media Transformers.

In the neighboring State from where I live in Brazil, a lot of gas stations have publicly accessible hot water taps. Even some parks and plazas have them. It's for the Mate drinkers to refill their Thermos.

Yes, I agree with you.

I just wanted to add that at the time "socialism" was any answer to the question "how to structure society so its members benefit the most?"

Nazism was such an answer, and it was "eliminate all who don't contribute".

Of course the concept of socialism later evolved and got more strict so that Nazism doesn't count anymore.

Yes, the theory comes from the superficial observation that the actions of the nominal extremes look very similar. And when your head is being crushed by the boot of authoritarianism you don't care if it is the right foot, or the left foot wearing it.

At one time there were many concepts of what Socialism is, and at the time nazism was A socialism, of course completely opposite of the concepts that survived.

That is the base of the horseshoe theory.

Horseshoe theory

I can imagine that realistically many provinces would try to become independent after the war, and centralization could come from crushing those rebellions, but that is not what the story shows.

One thing that has always bothered me is that the first series clearly showed that the Earth Kingdom was decentralized enough to survive years, if not decades, with minimal help from the "capital", and even other cities had other kings. It makes no sense that the kingdom would fall into such chaos after the assassination of the monarch in the "capital".

Yes, it says it's forever. The Catholic church does have a doctrine of purgatory, but it's for the flawed faithful.

But it also treats it akin to a spouse that has been continuously cheated on; all his gifts twisted, broken, and trashed; finally leaving the house.

Or self-inflicted by humanity, God going: "do you really, really want to stay apart from the source of life and all good? Then have it your way... ☹️"

Why? We have the gift of life, even as we choose death, we have good things even as we choose to turn away from good, that is a message of pure love, why is it gross?

These are 5000 years old stories written down 3000 years ago, some study, of course study of context is necessary.

I agree with your point on homosexuality, it also requires study, that's a reason today's Christianity is so sick and away from the message of love from the Bible.

You read wrong what I wrote, every moment that is NOT death and suffering is a gift from God.

Yes, languages and words and their meanings change with time, both words were once the same.

Job should be read from the perspective that humanity, by choosing to turn away from the source of all life and good, has only death and suffering as its just existence. Every moment that anyone has that is not death and suffering is a gracious gift of love from God. Job even acknowledges that all he had was not his, just loaned from God.
