i also use ublock matrix so i get to play "which third party hosts are needed to make this page work" for every new website

that timeline was decided by the a conservative government after fukushima

we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas

it's not actually that helpful because a lot of the skill comes from muscle memory and that's not just for aiming but mousemovement also has a significant influence on movement

for example there's something called a circle jump where you use precise mouse movement to get the most efficient angles so that your movement speed is maximized from your first jump

worse even, it killed off many vibrant quake 3 communities that had been going from 1999 to 2008 because half the people started playing quake live and the other half stopped playing alltogether

please elaborate where op drew false equivalencies to attack political opponents

there's nothing religious about entertaining the idea that sentience could just be an emergent property

hard to answer that without it looking like religion bashing to be honest

it's an uncomfortable topic for a lot of people because the idea that sapience/sentience is just a side effect of our brains being pattern matching machines with a giant knowledge graph of neurons means that we're not that special

maybe if you went to college you could come up with one

In the 80s there was a javelin thrower named Jan Železný who was so good that they had to redesign the javelin because there wasnt enough space in the stadiums

if you frequently discuss these topics you should be aware that those were always just nice sounding soundbites that were never rooted in any kind of conviction

just brand it "the dark souls of x" and young players won't be bothered by complexity

because it makes absolutely no sense here. what op is criticizing is on businesspeople lying to make more profit, not scientists

it's interesting, when you start getting into debating politics in your teens it's easy to fall into the trap of attacking authors instead of arguments, then as you get older you try to be better about this and then it turns around again as you age because giving the people the benefit of the doubt again and again and spending time dismantling their arguments only for them to turn around and publish the next article repeating the same things is a waste of time

that's some leap

op made no value judgement as opposed to you

this is a transparent gotcha attempt, op wrote "what they've decided are reasonable terms of service" and you pretend that op wrote about their own defintion of reasonable

but looking at it like that doesn't make people feel like they're some kind of freedom fighter (freedom to be bigoted trash)

and the british electorate could have used its power in controlling the levers of one of the most pampered and privileged members of the eu to keep laws friendly to british business in the same way they've done it since thatcher, but apparently that wasn't good enough

but what's the ROI on money for weapons and military contractors?

you're clinging to a fantasy

the guy was always a laughingstock

true, triangulating doesn't mean the middle necessarily

identify potential biases in a source and then filter the information of that source through a bias lense, then use another source and do the same thing to triangulate "the truth"

giving up on consuming news because everything might be biased is simply lazy

from my experience, when science stories that go viral turn out to be wrong it's some secondhand reporting by people misunderstanding or misrepresenting the actual firsthand report

sure, you could arrive at this rhetorical question after about 30 seconds of rational thought OR you could be a contrarian and feel super smart because you saw through a conspiracy!

hard to work on your juggling if you're slaving away 20 hours a day

it's got nothing to do with socialism and everything to do with capitalism. restricting the advanced workforce and research to the thin slice of a population with the opportunity (mostly well off parents, sometimes race and sex) you lose out on a tremendous amount of human resources with the potential to create value.

the public opinion doesn't need to be swayed on this and it's unlikely that the cia would ever release things that would threaten their process of getting such things.

there's a difference between healthy skepticism of intelligence agencies and a grasping at straws to cast doubt on anything they do.
