Healthy optimism
Healthy optimism
I’m either missing context, or the joke is going over my head
Not irrational. The “detail” in this style of comic is visual clutter that makes it actually significantly harder to see what’s in the panel right away
In what situation would the second box be anything but a negative, if may ask?
Do some people really use cards instead of compact list?
I mean, yeah, but the bigger argument here is that due to the sheer mass of Jupiter, the centre of mass of our solar system is actually very so slightly outside of the sun
No actually. Due to Jupiter, the centre of mass of the solar system is actually very slightly outside of the sun
Protests are very good at causing civil unrest, damaging public property, making other peoples days worse, and swaying their view further away from your cause
If any of those are your goal, they can be quite effective
To increase humanities control over its environment. The form that takes is a secondary concern
Let’s be real here, it’s the second one
For all intents and purposes it was free word
I haven’t really used word in over half a decade since TeX beats it in every conceivable way.
Wordpad was useful in the sparse few cases where I was forced to open a .doc or .docx and couldn’t be arsed to upload the file to Google docs
I guess it will be missed for that
Yes it does, his Dracula dad being random other things is the central premise of this series
Not everything that isn’t ublock is automatically bad. Especially if you just want an adblocker and not also all the other stuff it comes with
I love the irony that people nuke your comment
Yup, calling bs on the article, since a pc is both cheaper and easier than a phone. Besides, if you know how to navigate a window and type into a textbox (both required for YouTube) you know how to write a digital form
This article is made up drama
You mean like how you fully purchased a premium account?
I wonder why there are no laws against eforced, unilateral contract adjustments like this. Especially considering “no ads” was an explicit part of the original purchase
You’re right that I inverted it numerically
Though, that’s a communication thing. White people are a minority worldwide but never referred to as such. I used the standard way to refer to the different races even though that is statistically incorrect in the hope of it being more directly obvious what I meant
He means Apartheid
That one went so far that south Africa is the only country to voluntarily unilateraly give up its nuclear arsenal when a minority risked getting to power
It is getting better though. We are all just facing the issues of our era’s.
Tech keeps going up, we are slowly making progress on climate change, the space race is back on, and superpowers don’t directly fight eachother anymore. Hell, we’ve proven to beat once in a century pandemics in a few years with relatively speaking barely any deaths. Life’s good
Yes, we have squabbles in the middle east and Africa, but that’s par for the course and not an indicator for human development. The only thing that has really gone backwards is that war has been brought back to europe
Coin
Look, the glasses are nice and all, but they don’t give you a 50% change to win the lottery and randomly realise a way to prove/disprove the Riemann hypothesis every two weeks
I wonder how this works with elections. In my country, the votes are counted within 12 hours. When I’m voting on a party, I am attempting to make said party the largest one. Does the coin just give me a 50% chance to unilaterally decide my government every election cycle?
Edit: oh shit, it’s not 50% chance, but 100% after it came into effect once. The first time it lands on heads, try to guess the next flip’s outcome by guessing it would be heads. Since the coin is in effect, this guess is correct, even though the next coin will only be flipped in two weeks
In other words, the coin just gives you reality warping for halve a day every two weeks
