World governments: I feel so unappreciated for all the help I continuously provide ☹️

Hope things get better, but this is low-key genius

Props to you, it’s not pathetic at all.

Only works in Timberborn because of the lack of capitalism 🥲

We won the 40 hour work week like 150 years ago, and we’re still working pretty much that…

They do actually have an in-built skip for this. It’s not as good as sponsor block though

Salvia is not a walk in the park for the dyslexic, damn

The more you learn, the greater you are aware of how much is uncertain.

Yes, but similarly, the god of the gaps is pretty hard to ignore.

There will be questions we never will have the answer to, and if you’re actually serious about the scientific method as a philosophy, you aren’t uncomfortable with “we don’t know”.

To me, a mysterious universe is more wondrous than “god did it” and yes, I do very much question religious scientists, despite many great scientists being religious.

If you’re willing to just believe things “just because” then how can I trust you’ll actually apply the scientific method (also a philosophy) reliably?

I can happily coexist and work with mildly religious scientists/engineers, but I would straight up refuse to work with a creationist or someone born again. Religion is anti-scientific.

Religion vs science is not a false dichotomy, despite it being possible to be religious and a scientist at the same time.

I still think it’s crazy that people aren’t calling for the abolition of presidential pardons.

Seems like a system that was just WAITING for abuse.

well the US has now totally gone rogue.

They’re just saying the quiet part out loud now

To me this attitude is the equivalent of telling a comedian to “stick to comedy” when they make jokes about politics, or how “woke” sci-fi is when they make commentary on society.

These things are intertwined, to a large degree.

This is why I’ve just never liked super hero universes.

In isolation, it’s passable, fun even, and I’ve enjoyed some marvel stuff.

When they actually try to do world building, it’s just so, so bad.

This is my opinion, apologies to those who generally like the Marvel universe, but I just can’t stand it. (Based on the handful of films I’ve seen or heard about).

It’s an apple inspired UI thing. Luckily, the built-in android date selector isn’t stupid anymore.

A banking app I use (on Android) put in a bespoke date/time selector with scroll wheels, with no option to type.

It’s like they went out of their way to make using their app a pain in the ass.

Why would we do that to ourselves? I’d be willing to bet the proportion of people who watched the film who also regularly played the game at some point is less than 50%

Recommend PowerToys if you’re forced to use windows at work, it has heaps of neat stuff including find my cursor.

It makes windows 11 somewhat more bearable

Voyager works fine for me (Android stock)

If your software runs on windows or MacOS, this point is such bull, sorry.

Do you monitor what software people have installed accessing their banking needs on those platforms?

This is why I hate coins. Good luck keeping them neatly sorted in your wallet.

Notes only gang~~~ (sorry coin collectors)

Just gonna take a moment to hate on UK bank notes being different sizes in both dimensions, though. Wtf is that?

(From Australia)

Sort of. A lot of us (countries) have some kind of public healthcare, but it’s not really universal.

From experience in Australia: dental isn’t included, physio is limited, out of pocket costs can be large for non-hospital visits because it’s not a public system just a private subsidy model (mostly), wait times for “elective” surgery can be way, way longer on the public system because private health is permitted to exist and the public system is underfunded/understaffed.

What’s worse is that private health cover is allowed to just cover the difference between public and private, meaning even if you go private, the public is still paying. Like, you wanna be private, fuck off and go be private then… (Talking to the private healthcare advocates, not the people. I have some level of private healthcare cover, even though I think it’s a fucking stupid system)

List goes on.

It’s WAY better than the US, but I refuse to call it universal.

Just seems to me you are redefining the middle class into the working class and are focusing on making the distinction be based on belonging to some arbitrary class. I don’t even think the psychopaths we are referring to really care about belonging to anything if they can get ahead.

Indeed, it’s only a categorisation, though I’m certainly not the first to say if you primarily work for your money, you’re working class. What class the billionaires feel they belong to is irrelevant, I agree.

You can mobilize people, but if you are excluding people that could be included or trying to address what’s actually an arbitrary definition, don’t forget, there are psychopaths interested in taking you for a ride.

I do not know what you mean by this. If you feel excluded by me then that’s not my intention at all.
