I have bad hearing so I mostly just mispronounce words…

Making it easier to contribute is the main thing. I don’t use git or discord, so I usually try to find an email address, if none is available I move on.

Not all functionalities. You can’t even adjust the direction/power of the AC or open the glovebox without multiple presses on the touchscreen.

I’m very glad, the lack of buttons are a safety hazard… Looking at these stupid TESLA cars especially… You can’t even adjust the AC without messing with the touchscreen, which means your eyes are not on the road…

Still not going to own a car, but at least it will be slightly safer by bringing back physical buttons, so hurray for small victories.

Now I feel tempted to make a Dropbox account and fill it with gigabytes of noise data…

Maybe they got it from fox news?

My parents banned me from certain games/movies because they had positive depictions of black people.

Holy crap, that’s nuts. Are they KKK or something?

If you came there by yourself or with one other person and didn’t buy anything, she would probably be right… But if you’re in a group, you’re fine not to buy anything.

Either way, she’s a dick for embarrassing you in front of the rest.

The book explains how genes are only ‘concern’ with their own replication and survival… Of course genes aren’t intelligent and have actual desires, but genes that are beneficial to their own survival and spread are going to be common in the gene pool, not based on the greater organism or the species.

Even with that, it creates a condition where these selfish genes benefit from cooperation… The critters who act altruistically in the right circumstances will benefit and increase the survivability of their genes.

Also what you mentioned about things being tough causing people to betray each other… This is also discussed both from a prisoner’s dilemma (multiple versions of it), and in biology and other game theory examples.

Highly recommended read, and if you do pick it up, I hope you read the latest edition of the book published in 2016, which has extra commentary from the author which is also interesting.

FYI: In this book, Richard Dawkins invented the word meme to rhyme with gene, describing the evolution and spread of ideas… Little did he know, back in the 70’s when he wrote the book, that the word he invented to describe the evolution of ideas would evolve into the memes we know today.

There is a book named The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins that talks about this and how this can explain altruistic behaviour. Highly recommended.

I learned that too… knowing what to do in an emergency also reduces the level of panic you experience while you do it.

Exactly. I’ve never actually seen anyone do mouth to mouth in real life, only in movies.

CPR. You may not think about it in your day to day life, but in an emergency it’s a very low hanging fruit to save someone’s life. If someone is not breathing, chest compressions baby… go to town.

Interesting, I didn’t even know there is a modlog.

Let’s test that one…

removed.

Edit::What do you know, it was actually filtered.

I see. I don’t mind filters that remove racist or homo/transintolerant slurs, that’s keeping a community safer and inclusive rather than enforcement of politeness.

A filter? Let me test it right now…

Fuck.

Unless this is a shadowban type filter, it seems to not be there…

I’ve had the same pair of earbuds since 2003, but they kicked the bucket two years ago. That would make it 18 years. As a teen I was very careless with them, regularly forgot them in the pocket and they went through countless trips through the washing machine and dryer, so I am amazed they lasted that long.

I mostly agree, but I really like Daniel LaBelle’s shorts.
