I would absolutely download a reptile.

Rich people would try to develop a technique to identify and transfer their wealth to their next life. If no way exists to identify people apart from memory, you would probably get a lot of people claiming to be the same wealthy dead person.

Things also might get ugly if people or states try to punish the reincarnations of people for whom death or a life sentence wasn’t determined to be “enough” (though on the other hand, I suppose murder would be less heinous a crime since the victim just comes back and isn’t gone), or if people seek out the reincarnations of dead spouses, since those reincarnated people would now be babies.

On the brighter side, if those past memories are good enough, education becomes a lot more effective since it doesn’t just teach the current person but all their future incarnations until the subject matter gets forgotten or out of date.

A person with only one leg who is unsure of their identity would get stuck, having no options that are not two and four.

For that matter, a horse with two legs cut off becomes a man, if only it could be taught to read a chart. Or at least not a horse anymore.

I mean, presumably fractions of a dollar still exist as a concept even if the coins don’t, so if you’re selling something that someone might buy in cash, one could just set the sticker price so that the final price plus tax ends up as a round number, essentially including tax when deciding on price and then taking it out again when making the labels, if one wanted to do that.

I’m not sure they do know it. Like, they may hear it, but at least from those I’ve encountered, a lot of the positions advocated only make any sense if one fundamentally disbelieves in nuance. In such a case, one believes that there are good people and bad people, and that anyone that does any bad is irredeemably so and equally bad as anyone else that does any bad thing, and any good person is incapable of doing any wrong.

Thus, the idea that you could have a group of terrorists, who true to that description use terror attacks to further their aims, fighting against a genocidal state doesn’t fit, because fighting against a genocide is obviously a good thing to do, and good people would never do something like attack a child, therefore any reports of that happening must be a lie. Some conservatives do the same thing and just pick a different side, insisting that genocide can’t be happening because they believe Israel to be the “good guys” fighting a terrorist group.

That isn’t to say that the two sides of that conflict are equally wrong either, that position also lacks nuance since it misses that the scale of one crime can be much greater than another, just that some people will see any criticism of anyone fighting on the side of a victimized group as alignment with the aggressor.

Suppose you want to buy something that costs a quarter, and what you have is 3 dimes. If there isnt a 5 cent coin, this creates a situation where you have enough money, but making exact change isnt possible, which while not impossible to deal with is bothersome. If we moved to only dimes and no quarters or nickels, it would never make sense to make a price end in 5 cents, so any price would be a multiple of 10 cents and change can always be made. Alternatively, if you get rid of dimes and nickels but keep quarters, then it doesnt make sense to charge a price ending in something other than .00, .25, .50, or .75, and so you can always make change for those prices with the coins one would have.

Comparing anything with lemmings is gonna be somewhat unflattering with that stereotype tbh. Which is why it’s a great name for the network imo, it’s got just a little bit of self-depreciating humor to it.

The whole “MSG is bad for you” thing was a myth, wasn’t it?

Implied by the red box with yellow and white text saying “lemming characteristics”, which could subtly be taken as a reference to “socialism with lemming characteristics” given the context and color scheme?

I’ve not done any traveling myself I’ll admit, but I would have figured at least Germany Spain and Greece would have also made the list from how much I hear of people visiting them. Especially Greece.

literally the thing that made me decide to finally look into linux, recently resulting in my switching to it, is that for years Ive liked to have the taskbar on the right side on autohide, and on windows 11 they took away the ability to put it there.

You underestimate my ability to unintentionally but habitually create a massive wall of text that, when the text-walliness of it is pointed out, I cannot simply add blank lines to for readability without rewriting parts of it, because the whole thing is technically just one or two (massively run-on) sentences.

I think the aim is to get people to slow down even when there isn’t a cop, since one could always be around. It doesn’t really work that well and is a poor substitute for good road design, but still.

To be fair, you can’t always take things as “obvious” in science without so much as an attempt to investigate, because every so often an idea that seems obvious or common sense turns out to be wrong, or has some unexpected detail to it.

No, just a weighted blanket and a regular pillow. I’m not sure why people find this weird tho, jeans are comfy.

Sure, but won’t that happen regardless of if you use their email service or not?

1, t shirt and jeans.

Meanwhile, if you’re looking for a somewhat older movie, in my experience you can find it about half the time by going to the “videos” search tab in a browser, using any advanced search options that may exist on that browser to limit it to longer videos, and searching “(movie name) Internet Archive”.

I mean, not necessarily in that case I’d imagine, since one presumably pays the ISP for internet services, so any “free” things bundled with it could also simply be priced into that contract already.

I mean, wood already biodegrades quite readily, yet we are able to make some pretty long lasting things out of it anyway. Having a bacteria that can break down some variety of plastic doesn’t really imply that all plastic things are going to rot away like old fruit.
