I watched that when it aired.
It was a totally different world, agreed. You can argue it was better or worse or whatever, but it’s now a completely foreign land.
Can we please make more water? We have the technology to do mass scale desal and end Western water poverty forever. We don't have to fight over scraps. We don't have to dam up distant valleys. We don't have to suck the aquifers dry. We just need to end the ban on desalination. https://t.co/ir6XpUynnL

It is societally insane that we don’t do this.
I hate degrowthers so so much.
The question is then how, under these circumstances, one is to understand, for example, the usual ‘explanation’ of the phenomenological gas equation via the kinetic theory, in particular, the ‘explanation’ of the phenomenological temperature via the average kinetic energy of the molecules. Feyerabend assumes that according to Nagel’s ‘natural’ conception of reduction, none is actually available because the meaning of the word ‘temperature’ is not preserved. By contrast, he makes the claim “such a change to new meanings …is a natural occurrence which is also desirable for methodological reasons” (Feyerabend 1981a, 81). But, in defense of Nagel, it must be said that this is made clear enough, despite some already mentioned uncertainty in the matter, when he expressly requires as part of heterogeneous reduction not the above quoted passage invoked by Feyerabend, but rather his ‘conditions of connectability’. And Nagel (1961, 357) has not overlooked the fact that heterogeneous reduction should provide a change of meaning.

For those who escaped a low income upbringing, what culture shocks did you experience?
How vastly less common casual violence is, even among men. Where I grew up it was just a thing that happened constantly, a background hum to which you grew accustomed1.
The middle class and particularly the upper middle class and above just does not work like that.
Cute video and great song.
I’ve done shit like that. And been clueless.
But…but…but…all MEN WANT IS SEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111
When you realize how many times men could’ve had sex and missed what in retrospect were extremely clear signs, that absurd feminist narrative falls apart really damn quick.
All AI Models Might Be The Same.
Neanderthals operated prehistoric “fat factory” 125,000 years ago on German lakeshore.
No vegan milk is equivalent to dairy, nutritionists conclude.
America Is Killing Its Chance to Find Alien Life. More moronic actions.
They’re Literally Angry at Superman for Being Nice. How James Gunn’s comments about “basic human kindness” triggered a predictable right-wing media meltdown. Fascists gonna fascist.
In Texas, heroes saved lives. Climate realism and government action would have saved more. Yup.
Getting tattoos to “reclaim your body” is like slicing off your nose to “reclaim your face.”
It makes no sense. But that’s humans for ya.
What’s some crazy facts about men/the male body that women wouldn’t know?
Men’s penises are not nearly as sensitive as women imagine them to be. Almost every woman I’ve ever met severely, absurdly overestimates the “resolution” of sensitivity there.
They imagine the penis is like a fingertip. It’s more like the back of your calf, but even less sensitive than that. Yes, it can and does experience pleasure but there’s no “resolution” to it. So, no, often we cannot tell when the condom comes off during sex. Not without looking.
Hell, with a woman who’s turned on enough sometimes I can’t even tell if I’m inside her or not. And I’ve got more than average going on down there.
Why do women have such insane ideas about penis “resolution” sensitivity? I can’t even hazard a guess as to that one.

Which is a point I make every time I hear yet another leftist degrowther dipshit clown moaning about having to mine some lithium or perovskite.
I think a problem with advice about how to meet people is it mostly comes from people who are good at meeting people, and could do it anywhere

True. I have a friend who is very extroverted, extremely quick-witted, beautiful and fearless. When I step away from her for five minutes she makes three new friends. I have no idea how. I simply couldn’t do what she does no matter how hard I tried. Even ignoring all the other things working against me, I’d be utterly exhausted within 10 minutes of living like she does. I mean it — I’d be dead tired and my brain would shut off.
When people good at meeting people give others advice, it’s kind of like when women give men dating advice. Both are completely useless.
The last time we hung out, my friend got us invited to a sex party by chatting to a woman at the next table at an Italian restaurant. We did not go, but that was funny.
People’s incapacity to deal with reality — like climate change and how well vaccines actually work and how safe they are — is going to lead to millions of needless deaths.
But I guess humans have been doing the stupid for a long time. We show no signs of stopping.
The notion of “fatphobia” needs to go. Fatness is a harmful medical condition that can be treated with drugs. It’s like saying “cancerphobia” or “arthritisphobia”. https://t.co/V43fxKn6gt

Agreed, “fatphobia” is an utterly moronic concept.
Das ist so ein schönes Lied. Es ist nachdenklich und melancholisch mit einem Hauch zerbrechlicher Hoffnung.
Woman attacked driver that hit, killed chicken that was crossing the road, per police.
I like her. What she did wasn’t right, but it also wasn’t wrong either.
