Took me a second

They wouldn't call the year 59 bc in 59 bc

In addition, government research in the sciences is miniscule. You could cut ALL of science funding and be no where close to the 1 trillion that Musk claims he'll be able to reduce the budget by

Actually yes

I think the dude in the pic is trans masc

What if I told you that you aren't paying for the drinks but you're renting the table/bar stool

That's a false dichotomy in a lot of the comments here

We do both

Carbon capture isn't so we can continue to use fossil fuels. It's because once we get to 0 emissions we still need to draw down the carbon in the atmosphere

An ounce of prevention is almost always worth a pound of cure but we're still going to want that cure because every extra tenth of a degree we can bring the Earth back to normal is going to be worth it

Probably could make a board on another sheet with a formula that points to the opposite side of the board

Low quality information is easier to produce than high quality information

Even worse, while people prefer high quality information, the preference is weaker than other preferences, such as the desire to see things that are cute or make you angry

Two things

1. Politics is for Power provides a pretty good model for thinking about this https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Politics-Is-for-Power/Eitan-Hersh/9781982116798

There's a lot of political hobbyism on social media in general and Lemmy is really bad for it. Take for example the constant Elon Musk rage bait. No one is doing anything productive with that information. They're just getting mad

1. Social media, in general, isn't a good way to get informed. It makes you feel really in touch but when a lot of the time you're getting biased and polarizing that is often as enraging as it is unproductive

We treat politics like entertainment and it's making our politics worse. Personally I try to limit my exposure to politics that I don't think will be productive. It might feel like the most important thing in the moment but it's often a huge waste of time

Just got clarity this would move the age limit for marriage from 16 to 18

Our previous meeting?

Congrats on your son! I'm sure your support is going to help them tremendously as they discover themselves

My understanding is starlink won't contribute to the kessler syndrome because they are in low Earth orbit. They routinely fall back down to Earth so they don't contribute to much space junk

There are other potential issues with that, though. Just not space junk

I've heard that's the plan. They're dedicating an hour to the presidential candidates. If only one shows up then that candidate gets the whole hour

Now that's what I call ally-ship

In case you're like my space friends who want this as a poster

Oh shit

I usually only play games for about a month before I lose interest. I didn't usually come back, either. With that in mind I'm going to wait for this to get closer to full release

If it's as great as Hades I then it'll be a banger of a game

The title is a bit misleading. This study isn't evidence that gender affirmative care causes suicide. Trans people have a higher rates of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts than the general population. Therefore you'd expect that people who seek gender affirmative care would be at a higher risk than the general population

If the study was comparing people who got gender affirmative care vs people who didn't but were also trans then it would be more illustrative of the effects of gander affirmative care (although I expect the effects would be positive, not negative, as it should lessen never dysphoria in most people seeking it out)

Nothing against the people conducting the study but I don't think this is saying what this community wants to believe it's saying
