  • Age checks could turn internet into an ID checkpoint and would kill anonymity, Proton CEO says

  • If this becomes widespread, I just won't use any websites that require it. There will always be ways around it or alternatives for people opposed to losing their privacy. There already are at least 2 Internets. There's reddit and Facebook and Twitter and all the corporate news sites, and then there's Lemmy and archive.org and the dark web and dev pages and independent websites and piracy. I find I rarely care about the former anyway. It'll just mean being blocked off from all the corporate slop, which may be a blessing in disguise.

  • Because they don't have to read the magazines in the waiting room? They would have to suffer through a shitty flight though. They spend money on things that affect them personally, I feel like it's not that hard to understand.

  • I'm well aware it's not an original thought, but as a 13 year old many years ago I was incredibly surprised to find it was one that none of the adults in the church had ever apparently considered or had a response to. The common one was 'free will exists because God is testing us' but no one could explain why God would need to test anything when he should already know the outcome, or why he would continue to create people who he knew would fail the test.

  • Actually imo the idea of free will is one of the major flaws with religion. If God is omniscient, that means he knows the outcome of every situation. Why would he create people he knows will 'sin', even if it's their choice, and then doom them to suffer for those 'sins'. If God is the creator of everything and also all knowing, then he must be intentionally creating doomed, flawed people just to watch them suffer. If free will doesn't exist, religion becomes much more palatable. Sure, fucked up things happen all the time. But if you can believe that it's all in service of some eventual greater good, at least that gives some meaning to it. Otherwise God is just a sadistic bastard. This line of reasoning is what broke me away from organized religion. Still not sure where I stand on free-will.

  • But if there is no free will, we can't help that or change it, so what difference does it make? Although if that's true it means we can't help but discuss it either, since such a discussion has clearly already happened and is happening now as well. If there's no free will there is no such concept of focus though. If you can't change or influence your actions that means you must not be able to influence your thoughts either, so someone doomed to a life of philosophy in that kind of world is just suffering endless torment that's doomed to amount to nothing. That's how I feel sometimes. At least most people who believe there's no such thing as free will get to believe there's some magic man in the sky guiding everything.

  • This is part of the basis of a lot of simulation theory from what I understand. The way electrons behave under observation is very similar to the way a computer renders a 3d world. It doesn't calculate or draw everything in the entire environment, simply what is under direct observation by the user(s).

  • I Slept Next to the Assassin in Hilton Room 10235. This Is a Security Fiasco

    Jump

  • This isn't journalism, this is manufacturing consent for dystopian levels of security theater and invasive procedures. The writer is upset that no one searched his luggage or stopped him and demanded to see ID on his way to his room? Utterly fucking ridiculous.

  • ‘Doctor Who’ Star Peter Capaldi Responds to Online Backlash to Jodie Whittaker and Ncuti Gatwa Castings: ‘I Don’t Know Why People Take it So Seriously’

    Jump

  • I think Capaldi has some of the best storylines in the show. The one where he's stuck in the time maze and has to chip away at the diamond wall, everything with river song. Everything with Clara. The silence aren't quite as good as the weeping Angels but that was a pretty good storyline. Definitely got weak towards the end, the whole bill Potts season was pretty rough, but the puddle girl story was pretty memorable. Capaldi is my favorite doctor hands down but I think his seasons have some of the best writing too, interspersed with maybe some of the worst.

  • Pump clicked off finished filling at exactly $100! So satisfying. (Notwithstanding high fuel prices, c'est la vie)

  • I never try to land on a whole number, I always aim for multiples. Like 22.22 or 55.55. usually if I miss it I'll shrug it off but sometimes my brain goes extra autistic and I go for the next multiple. Sometimes my brain lets me mix and match though, so if I miss 22.22 it'll accept 22.33 instead.

  • That's a wild system. In Canada they bring the terminal to you, you put in the tip amount and then your card is charged all at once. Or at some places they'll bring you the bill and you can write in your tip, and then you take the bill up to a counter to pay. This only occurs in very small family restaurants usually though. Before chip and pin got popular they would still bring the bill and you would write in your tip, and then they'd take the bill and your card back and charge it all at once. Why would they take your card before you write in the tip, that doesn't even make sense and just creates an extra step.

  • I mean it's not hard to understand, every word in English that ends in 'some' is spelled that way. Gruesome, twosome, loathsome, handsome... I can't think of a single one that drops the e, so why would people who may have only ever heard his name spoken know that it's spelled differently? Even people that have seen it written, their mind probably just fills in the pattern recognition from all the other words they're used to spelling.

  • Why would a tip be charged after the rest of the bill? The top has to be a approved at the time of payment, otherwise the waiter could just add in whatever tip they felt like and update the charge. It's to allow for exactly this scenario, deposits on self-serve items or things like hotel rooms where there may be additional charges due to damage or mini-bar use etc.

  • But its worth it because you get to drive 2 giant cars. Those things are like 30ft long and 10ft wide. You'll be king of the road. Also who doesn't want back to back bathrooms.

  • Is there a comic already called "The Crow"?

    Jump

  • I mean maybe the premise is good if the plans actually made sense, but the example given is just obfuscated for no reason and completely illogical. What's the point of stealing a fake vase and replacing it with the real one? How do they already have the real vase and why would they give it back? Why would someone set up this whole elaborate plot just to kill two cops, especially when the plot just adds to the heat of the killing, it doesn't reduce it. Like if they just shot the two cops in a donut shop there would be less of a police/political response than if the two police were killed in the line of duty during this unnecessarily elaborate (fake!?) heist. Like if you can actually put together a coherent plot with as many twists as that then that would make a great story. But what you're describing makes no sense and feels like you're just trying to 'gotcha' the reader with the opposite of their expectations. It's worse than those 'now you see me' movies.

  • Innovation

    Jump

  • Pretty sure once the waste starts to pile up it'd be valuable enough to society to remove it that lots of people would be willing to do it. There's people out there right now working full time jobs and still picking up garbage on the side of the road in their free time because they don't want to look at it.

  • The commentary is like the polar opposite of autistic. It's inane bro speak, like literally the most stereotypical 'normie bro' talk ever. When I think of autistic commentary I picture some person talking passionately at length about specific details that wouldn't be noticed by anyone else. Not some guy shouting 'OMG BROOO' over and over.
