I get that the heavier bowling ball affects the acceleration of the earth more than the lighter feather, but I don't see how that means it's falling faster as the meme is stating. The bowling ball would meet the earth first when dropped separately and from the same height because the earth is (imperceivably) accelerating toward it faster than it does the falling feather, but both the bowling ball and feather are falling at the same rate due to Earth's gravitational force.
Or am I missing something?
It's a cute little comic about how people feel on first dates and how crazy dogs look drinking from a hose.
You come off as someone who has no personality if they're not talking down to others.
I'm not sure I get this one. Is the joke that they're the first humans so they don't know that they'll die someday?
Jesus Christ this thread is full of people who don't realize they're the judging hipster in the post.
Ubuntu isn't the entry level distro that you move on from once you've gotten your feet wet, and your not very subtle pats on your own backs for using something different aren't earned.
Does it do everything the user needs from it? If so, don't tell them that they need to "graduate" to a "better" flavor.
Or Ubuntu could perform every task they need it to and never switch to anything else.
Braver than most western journalists, who regurgitate the corporatocracies narrative and manufacture consent on their behalf.
True
Hopefully she's given a good job and granted asylum somewhere in the west ASAP, so she can go on with her life.
What?

Not everyone of course but there's way too many people over there who will justify anything the Chinese government does or just ignore criticism by saying, "what about what the US does?!!?!"
How they cannot understand that the US and China are both dystopian hellscapes is embarrassing.
There are very little, if any, benefits to using a VPN service to browse the public internet.
This is why it's often best to just avoid the comments completely
It would take a super genius to understand that they're either a non-native English speaker or made a simple typo/autocorrect issue. Also, since it's completely impossible to even guess at the point they're trying to make through the context of every other word in their comment we all owe you a debt of gratitude for calling this out!
Thank you, corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca, for adding something incredibly meaningful to the conversation and the world as a whole!
Oh no.. I just saw this comment in a different thread from 2 hours ago, and it MAKES NO SENSE:
Doctors today face a demand form their services that, while we can't guarantee will get them.jigher wages, can give them more leeway against unwritten political rules of speech.
What is a doctor's "demand form?" And "them.jigher" isn't a term I could find anywhere on the internet! I don't understand what the author, corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca, was trying to say! It's all just gibberish!
I feel good calling it out though. I'm sure that corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca will be grateful for my much-needed help and not think I'm a dick for detracting from their point to assert my knowledge of English grammar over them.
Since when are independent shops no longer an option? I just checked their site and it says you can take it to independent shops, but risk warranty.
You answered your question.
the evidence seems to suggest people are happy with their Teslas
Your "evidence" are people who live on your block and your boss. You might be an engineer but you're no statistician.
Neat, there's a second epilogue update in the game that I can't get past the second level.
That's 86 F for all you freedom lovers, or the front seat temperature of a Ford F150 with 312 fresh Big Macs in the extended cab.
On the contrary, if another pandemic killed a bunch of people, many of their homes would be bought up by the same hungry corporations that created and perpetuate the housing crisis.

I believe they've completely lost the plot. They invoked the word "Wikipedia" as a cited source, they were unable to follow any point being made, but their comment in a different thread from a couple hours ago actually helped me start to understand what's going on:
They started calling everyone a misogynist for no obvious reason. They were unable to communicate their thoughts in a meaningful way or interpret information presented to them.
Further, 17 hours ago, on a post that was clearly pro-piracy and not AI related at all, they commented, "AntiAI bros raging at this." There's zero relationship to the post.
I'm seeing a trend where they have their own opinions (censorship is always bad, misogyny is bad, AI is good) and then decide to share those opinions with tangential or no connection to that which they're replying. They're also fond of personal attacks and several common argument fallacies. Their comment history reads like a tribute to /r/im13andthisisdeep.
I hope it's merely age and maturity-related and not something more permanent.
I think it's ok for the owners of a privately owned platform to make decisions for that platform. If they want to exclusively show nudity, GTA6, or drying paint, I'm all for their autonomy.
Your autonomy allows you to utilize their platform or not based on their choices. If the absence of a focus on the groin, butt, and breasts on a green screen offends your values, I would suggest not visiting Twitch.
To bring it back your original comment, enjoying a platform's decision to desexualize content while also being opposed to a government ban on violent video games is perfectly reasonable. The two scenarios are entirely different in scope and and context.
You made it a 1st amendment topic by comparing private platform censorship to banning violent video games, which would be a government action that eventually gets a lawsuit seen before the supreme court.
I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I make it a point not argue with people who resort to name calling and shaming others - these people aren't here to debate facts or allow their opinions to be changed.
I'm providing a counterpoint to your erroneous logic for other people to see and choose for themselves.
Banning violent video games is government censorship and is a 1st amendment issue.
Banning certain behaviors on their own platform is entirely the perogative of the platform owners.
The two are not alike whatsoever.
Your argument is akin to saying that not allowing strangers to fill your home and smoke crack is "censorship" and is "just so dumb."
Disagreeing with the rule or the underlying reasoning is anyone's right, but disagreeing with a private owner's right to decide who and what is allowed on their property is insincere at best as you would never agree to your own rights being infringed.
If their model was simply, "were going to pay you to stream," then it would instantly be another egirl cam site which is not inherently right or wrong.
They don't want that. It's their platform, their server space, and their rules. Similar to who you allow in your home and what you allow them to do, they decide who and what if allowed on their platform.
The "why" doesn't even matter. Maybe it's run by a far right Christian. Maybe they don't want the liability. Maybe they have a vision for what their platform is and isn't. It doesn't matter. It's their property and they decide what's allowed.
I'm not saying the show was made by Nazis but it sure looks like a graphic artist is
