Jesus I have to agree to cookies to be agreed shared with 164 "partners" to read the website

I live in Amsterdam and can confirm this is a real problem. Lots of assholes with small dicks who pimp their cars or motorcycles to be loud as fuck. I applaud this measure

A clearer picture, for those interested:

From the source:

Titan is the only object other than Earth where liquid hydrocarbon lakes and seas have actually been found (by Cassini) in its polar regions – in abundance in the north polar region and at least one of approximately 20,000 km2, called Ontario Lacus, on its south pole. Just recently, there have also been long-standing methane lakes, or puddles, in Titan’s “tropics” discovered.

Good friend for 5 years or so. He turned into an alt-right fanatic and kept trying to make me upset by spouting "ideas" he knew not only I didn't agree with, by would actually emotionally upset me (e.g. All street animals should be sacrificed without mercy, all immigrants should be returned to their original county, etc). He pulled this shit at my birthday also, ruinning the night not only for me but everyone present. That was the last time I saw him.

Another friend of over 10 years. He met a guy with a very strong personality and started copying everything the other guy did. Started dressing like him, having the same ideas, etc. I didn't play along, so everything about my suddenly became the object of criticism as well. Never talked to him again.

Shit I'm old

Just a reminder for those wanting the niche communities of Reddit. Create them here. If you manage to bring just one more user besides yourself you already have a community. After that, it's just a matter of time for it to grow, provided you keep it active

I recommend reading the letters. Both from X's lawyers and the amazing reply from the lawyers of the CCDH.

Ok It it's AI generated but I want to know what's happening at the cognitive level. This is unlike other multistable images I've seen before. Can someone explain how this works brain-wise?

The thing is, if you smoke outdoors, you are violating people's right to live in an clean environment and breathe fresh air. I don't care if you fuck yourself up in your own house, but the moment smokers smoke outside of their own homes, they are messing with the liberties of all other citizens.

Andrew Huberman discussed the science behind caffeine and the circumstances under which it can lead to improved athletic performance. Long story short: even if you're a regular Caffeine user, taking a day or two break, and timing your caffeine intake to an hour or 90 minutes prior to performing gets the best results. I do it with Mate and my performance in sports goed through the roof

Interesting and related: Noam Chomsky, in his work as linguist, has stated that what reaches the ear (or the eye in this case) is not what reaches the mind. What this means is that we experience language as if it was linearly ordered, when at the cognitive level (in the mind) language is actually hierarchically organized. This means that the underlying structure of language has to interface with the sensory-motoe systems in order to transform the hierarchical structure into a linear one. This is why we sometimes also struggle putting our thoughts into words, because in that interface there is a change in structure that doesn't always preserve the 'original' (hierarchical) structure

I think everyone reading this from kbin or lemmy left out of principle, so they should also stay away from reddit out of principle.

I can't read the piece without giving consent to a bunch of tracking permissions :(

I read somewhere that Galileo really struggled convincing his patrons go finance such experiments. Science wasn't concerned with fundamental questions about how the world works until very recently

Hard part about being an immigrant. I am permanently detached from all the places from my childhood

Dude chill. Don't step down to their level. Show the creature some mercy. You've tortured enough by keeping it in that mason jar. Let it go and break the cycle of violence

Shouldn't it be the other way around? Emo is just city country

Ok yes but where's our Bob's burgers community then?

Gimp is really powerful. What are you missing from it?

Interestingly, when Newton published his Universal Gravitation theory, it was considered as spooky as quantum physics is nowadays. It broke away with the Mechanical philosophy of the day that saw the natural world as a series of direct cause-effect interactions. Even Newton disliked the implications of UG and tried to make them for, unsuccessfully, into Mechanical philosophy.
