I think it’s unfortunate that you’re being so hostile. It was an interesting point and very good sources that you brought to the discussion. But you’ve decided to play the "you’re all ‘autists’ " card.

I disagree. The connotation and literal meaning of the phrase “doing better than”, combined with the comment on social circles indicates that they’re trying to suggest the poor are somehow doing well, whatever that means.

That’s how I read it, anyway. And I think that’s why they’re getting down voted as well.

I think the wording in your original comment is pretty misguided. Nowhere does it say the poor are “doing better than” the wealthy. They just had the strongest short-term wage growth since covid. This does not equate to prosperity. Perhaps it is you that has the restrictive social circle.

You’re straw-manning. No one is advocating for flooding the country with foreign money. I’ve been reading your comments and I think you might be misunderstanding the argument. It’s a more nuanced criticism about capitalism, not an argument for how much workers for foreign companies in the Philippines should be paid.

This is cultural. Some cultures really do not care about nudity the way others do

This is some really high quality reading and critical thinking. I appreciate your write up as well as your identification of and attention to nuance.

Not using Debian because gnome seems silly to me. Why not just install plasma if that’s what you want?

Looks like you best get to switching.

What do you imagine these “strict regulations” would be? I live in public housing right now and it’s fantastic. It’s also significantly more democratically run than private housing because it’s mandated to be that way. I also like knowing that nobody is profiting off of my need to live somewhere.

What formula are you using? And where did 25 come from? 2023-1997 = 26 and (26 / 36) x 100 = 72.2

Edit: nevermind, I see you were estimating the mom’s age. My bad, all is well.

His headshot looks like Jeff playing the dean.

If you’re gunna use an adapter anyway then it makes it irrelevant whether or not there’s a headphone jack in the phone. People in this thread talk about how you can’t use expensive wired headphones with your mobile devices anymore as if adapters don’t exist.

I think the problem is less timing the messages, and more that the messages from earth will just get redshifted more and more as the ship accelerates, which will require an ever larger antenna to pick up. This also has the affect of bandwidth tending towards 0.

You cannot transmit information through entangled particles, so probably not.

My point is that you’re being dismissive of very reasonable concerns that are supported by published scientific literature. Further, rather than address those concerns directly, you chose to deflect with condescension and belittlement.

So no, I’m not going to trust you, because the only thing that you’ve done to prove your point is be an ass.

It’s funny, because your own ignorance is showing. There’s plenty of research to suggest that iron fertilization is controversial, which directly contradicts your (very condescending) assertion.

You are being very pretentious.

I don’t see the problem

That’s not a very good example I don’t think. I’m no cosmologist, but my understanding is that we know pretty well that distant celestial objects are moving away from us faster than the speed of light. Special relativity doesn’t really say anything about non local objects, and the expansion of space does not violate locality. No information is being transmitted faster than the speed of light. The medium through which light is traveling is changing. It’s not some big unsolved mystery.
