I know metric time is largely forgotten but at least have a basic understanding if you want to talk shit.

The “second” as we know it today is an SI, aka metric, unit. Modern time calculation is designed and revolved around it. The exact words “metric time” as SI knows it is for intervals, which is a domain completely different to the time of day you’re talking about. A metric system for time of day is either exactly what we have or nonexistent. There is no such things as imperial time; US customary units are only for length, area, volume, mass, and weight (and that’s all the metric activists are asking to replace). If you’re going to be pedantic about something at least be right about it. And here I expected to find interesting discussion over decimal time… (which, I’ll still note, is neither what you’ve sent which appears to be invented randomly in 2024, nor ever part of the metric system.)

So you see science and some can bottlers using liters and kilograms while the other things are imperial quarts and pounds. How the heck is that better? Now you’ve got to convert when you want to add some bottled water (lead pipes, anybody?) preparing your cookie bowl unless you’re up to buying two different sets of measuring cups, and mental physics and chemistry that involve any sort of calculation are impossible.

You also might want to learn about all the different units of length, area, volume, mass, and weight that the metric system thankfully completely replaced and thus harmonized. Read about why Columbus thought the Earth was that small—he thought the mile was as long as a mile. US customary is simply yet another local set of units that happen to be American with British names. The only reason the imperial countries haven’t made a change is they gained capital and Western influence without being ruled by France or the Soviet Union.

Don’t you need to manually approve data transmission through USB?

how about i just fuck them then 🤗

does it make me bad to smile when he goes on tv and whines about his stock?

No, because schadenfreude is unfortunately part of our psychology. But it should not exist, and we should not give into it. We should do things to bad people because of the damage they’d cause, not because we hate them. Many-a-Musk’s base are supporting all kinds of things to “own the libs”.

Is it vigilantism if I were to sell Tesla stocks or vehicle

Perhaps, but it would be better if one didn’t feel a schadenboost in freude because of it.

does not look as cool as arson

would be the same with facebook

How do those diagnosed as dyselxic or autistic become “mentally murdered” and “mindless corpses”? Absolutely nothing you’ve described as treatments/consequences of diagnosis counts.

For a disorder that’s so stupidly infinite and can be anything

This is completely wrong. Please read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism before replying, or at least the first three and “therapies and supports” section.

definitely malware browser plugins

It’s only one, and browser extensions are trivially easy to “decompile” since they’re not distributed compiled in the first place. The extensions are just zips or rars of the source code and metadata.

While other new students fretted over the university’s rigorous core curriculum, described by the school as “intellectually expansive” and “personally transformative,” Lee used AI to breeze through with minimal effort.

Lee goes on to claim everyone cheats. (He’s also that AI Amazon Leetcode interview person.)

Lee said he doesn’t know a single student at the school who isn’t using AI to cheat.

Well duh, what other kind of people would he know.

Yeah, I understand. 🤗

When I asked him why he had gone through so much trouble to get to an Ivy League university only to off-load all of the learning to a robot, he said, “It’s the best place to meet your co-founder and your wife.”

it’s been heading in the opposite direction, fortunately, if collegeboard is to be representative

My habits don’t carry a threat from supernatural forces if someone else doesn’t follow them

Well why do you follow it, then? The reasons for that also apply to the reasons for superstitions.

You made a bad faith argument

I don’t understand how it is bad faith. Assuming something doesn’t have to be logical is no less unmoving than assuming it has to.

there is no way a human could comprehend anything beyond our universe, and pretending you can is just a lie

I agree. And I simply do not believe any of us can decide whether God exists or not, since that is also a comprehension. That doesn’t mean we can’t decide which comprehension we believe in more, just like we pick and choose the morals we prioritize.

pretending you can is just a lie, a hypocritical act

Finally, as I’ve said above, “lies” don’t have to be hypocritical.

It has to do harm in itself to be an illness. Don’t tell me you don’t have your own little rituals and habits.

Faith doesn’t need proof: it’s not logical, meant to be logical, nor applied in science (and nor should it be). That does not mean it’s hypocrisy.

Not religious but that only sounds like glorifying God instead of vain to me. It’s thanking God for what we have, no?

Very far from all of them, but indeed too many sects are

Our biggest threat right now is a bunch of worms, who are somehow all-powerful and as strong as a butcher’s drill and against which the Department of Defense has to mobilize. Not China, not Russia, not Mexico, not Canada, worms.

To be fair, it was introduced as meta-search in the Waterfox changelog where it was publicized.

The headline not, but the article definitely.
