someone with legs isn’t gonna understand the point of prosthetics

...?

The factory helps make the goods though

Those names CANNOT be real

Hmm, I think you're right

This is so cool!

It took me way too long to notice the horror on the right

Yeah, I meant ~50% of people who fight, not 50% of all people.

40% seems pretty high for that effect. I suspect it would depend on how desparate people are for change.

That's interesting. I'm on the default site ui for reference.

And for political conservatives, but not for liberals, greater knowledge of science and math is associated with a greater likelihood of dismissing what almost all scientists believe about the human causation of global warming

Also known as the "I must know more than every scientist to ever live" effect

I honestly think this ties into a core flaw of conservativism, the same one that causes them to respect authority too much to question it. In their mind there's an almost tautological essence that someone in power can do no wrong. They ignore missteps because they "must have earned their position" but then say they deserve their position because they haven't made any missteps. Same goes for the climate change thing: surely they must have the right opinion on it, since they're smart! And they're smart because they have the right opinion. Isn't life so easy?

This is also why they try so hard not to "lose". To them, there are winners who never fail, and losers who never succeed. They will ALWAYS try to save face or say "let's agree to disagree", because they do not fundamentally accept that failure is a method of improvement. This ties into black-and-white thinking as well.

Neat. For me on mobile, the hover text takes precedence but they both work.

If you were very, very close to it, not exactly, since Jupiter's mass is more spread out, making the gravitational pull slightly weaker at close range. But for practical purposes yeah nothing would change for us other than space debris being flung around it instead of hitting it.

I don't want to accuse you of being an alt without proof but you're acting very weird here tbh. You didn't respond at all either.

Anyways, no, that part didn't bother me (I am a pedant, after all). I just want to only be called a pedant if I'm not making a relevant point.

I'm clearly not going to convince you, and I don't want to interact with people who act the way you do if I can't hope for you to change. You're going on the list too, pal.

Hmm, fair

Right. Any hardware (that can connect to a network) can be a server, but people usually choose to make servers out of certain hardware that they find convenient for the task.

Based on how people voted

Revolution only succeeds when there is broad support.

That's exactly what I'm saying

Living proof that no amount of money can ever un-lame someone

~50% of an armed populace will fight for an oppressive regime. It's not an effective way to deter governmental takeover.

Yup. Plus rack mounts!

Unless you're using a laptop as your server. But surely nobody would do that... quickly hides server laptop behind my back

Yeah, after I read it lmao

Think, Mark! How would it make sense the other way around?
