Summoning Salt.

Not many people can make a 2 hr video about the world record progression of a game I’ve never heard of and have me absolutely invested in it all the way through.

Dude makes a video every 3-6months but god I love them. If anything they’ve improved over the years as his style has been refined and the videos got longer.

In modular arithmetic you can make 1+1=0 but I’m struggling to think of a situation where 1+1=1 without redefining the + and = functions.

Not saying you’re wrong, but do you have an example? I’d be interested to see

Mathematicians know wolfram is wrong and it was warned in my maths degree that you should “over bracket” in WA to make yourself understood. They tried hard to make it look like handwritten notation because reading maths from a word processor is typically tough and that creates the odd edge case like this.

1/2x does not equal 0.5x or it’d be written x/2 and I challenge you to find a mathematician who would argue differently. There’s no ambiguity and claiming there is because anyone anywhere is having this debate is like claiming the world isn’t definitely round because some people argue its flat.

Sometimes people are wrong.

Sounds like something a fat stupid American would say.

My 10month old son has always just shut up and listened whenever sound of silence comes on (the disturbed version, he doesn’t care for S+G it seems) and that was my number 1 by a distance I think.

367 listens, so more than daily, I don’t mind though as it’s a proper banger and I could listen to David Draimans voice forever.

I don’t get this mentality. I’ve rented for over a decade and always wall mounted my TVs. It’s not tricky to unmount and fill in 6 or 8 holes with a bit of filler.

Do some renters really not hang pictures or put up shelves either? The effort to correct it is probably less work than it is to hang in the first place.

I guess everyone is on the right when you’re on the absolute most extreme left.

You summarised my feelings far more eloquently than I managed here yesterday.

Downvote for you!!

But seriously, lemmy feels like more of an echo chamber than reddit ever did to me (which is saying a lot), maybe that’s because it’s an echo chamber for views i don’t agree with and reddit was more aligned to my thinking so I notice it more here, but dear god it’s getting harder and harder to stick around.

Welcome to lemmy.

Not sure I agree there, the term win/win suggests they’ve listed both possibilities and both are a win. It implies a no lose scenario and therefore that all options have been presented.

Buying a lottery ticket I could win £10 or I could win £10 million, it’s win/win!

You’ve put a fair few words into people’s mouths and then judged them for it here.

Could your own view be unfair? I see people from all sides coming to conclusions they aren’t qualified to be confident in, and yet everyone seems to have 100% certainty in everything these days.

I see lots of right wing tits, I also see lots of left wing tits and centrist tits. Politicians are not experts in anything, their job requires them to try and become experts in everything and as a result they’re experts in nothing but lots of people seem to take everything their preferred politician says as fact. Things are very rarely black and white but in the US that seems to have been entirely forgotten lately.

I know it won’t go down well here but viewpoints like ACAB or “republicans are fundamentally bad people” are so reductive that it’s almost funny.

When did people stop considering nuance?

Have convictions about the shit you know about. But be prepared to change your mind on stuff you aren’t an expert in.

I wonder how many people that strongly align to the left or right actually understand the detail behind the policies they defend so vociferously, 99% of people people are just parroting what their party tells them to say from what I can see.

Your opinion on climate change or whatever is the latest hot topic doesn’t mean shit. Reading an article from your biased politically motivated “journal” doesn’t mean shit. Listening to the actual experts and forming an opinion based on that DOES mean something, and it’s got fucking nothing to do with politics.
