  • If we're relying on the individual to keep themselves correctly informed, we might be thoroughly fucked lol.

    Maybe we should start pinning classes on media literacy, critical thinking/analyses to help the situation. Not even sarcasm, it genuinely might be needed as a built-in feature included in every web browser at this point.

  • You'll be stopped by an over-controlling Wikipedia editor with seniority over you, who will revert any changes you make.

  • Kinda, yeah. The difference is that it's not a per-word basis where you have to memorize dozens of cases. Much less cumbersome on learners. There's nothing wrong with just writing 'ðe' either, if the writer prefers.

  • I think the real shitty part is the English itself, not letter changes.

    We could do the nice thing and make an easier language the standard? Spanish maybe? Could also do German. /s

  • Translation: häturs᛫gonna᛫hät

  • I think It was common in middle English to omit the 'e', leaving it to context for the reader to infer the meaning. I see this in alot of shorthand and other alphabets like Shavian.

  • Why? This is their post and they wanna use middle English. It's not that big a problem for anyone else.

    Are you just worried that it'll become a more common trend? I don't think that'll happen. It's just gonna be like scrolling by a ich iel post every now and again.

  • Yes. But also: Blessica Blimpson.

  • Correct. there was actually a period of time when trees had no predators or scavengers that could break down their body matter. They actually likely caused mass extinction events during that time.

    Sources: Hank Green talking about it (just a fun video, I wouldn't take it as gospel necessarily)

    IFL Science article (I cross-referenced this with multiple other articles and it seems to talk about a cempletely different mechanism for mass extinction to occur)

  • I agree for the most part. I would like to point out that fish farms are actually very damaging to the ecosystems that they sit in. The excrement ends up dropping down in single locations, burying the seafloor in it. IIRC, this often leads to the oxygen levels in the water dropping, which further kills off the surrounding aquatic life.

    EDIT: more context

  • We don't need a blockchain for that.

    Having multiple servers which store file checksums would have much less overhead, would be easily repeatable and appendable, with no need for unnecessary computational labor. Linux mint currently uses the checksum process for verifying that an ISO downloaded is not altered in any way, and it can work for any file (preferably not humongous files).

    Strive for K.I.S.S. whenever possible.

  • I don't think many would accept their gardens being pilfered either, though they might be more accepting if that's how they paid rent.

  • Not the implication. Mosquitoes are a blight upon humanity too.

    Edit: Woops, wrong thing. Mosquitoes are the carriers, the bacteria/viruses are causing the blights, the diseases are the actual blights. I think you get what I mean.

  • For those wondering, the AI singularity is a concept in which an AI becomes intelligent enough to improve its own intelligence and does so. The idea is that it continually improves itself over and over until it reaches the highest level of intelligence possible.

    It is a potential Deus Ex Machina scenario - a God from a machine.

    Edit: to be clear, this is not a scientific idea, it's not really proveable, falsifiable, or even testable in any straightforward fashion. It's mostly a philosophical thought experiment. A hypothetical.

  • Level measuring guy from water world moment.

  • You're correct, we do. We all assist the operation of this war machine. It may not be in our control, but that does not nullify it. We bloody our hands to live instead of choosing to die, and we are all culpable to an extent for it. Some more than others, though.

    People in all societies have to ignore a multitude of moral contradictions in order to live normal lives. That is the manufactured consent all states impose upon their people.

  • There is a certain case I advocate bear hunting: bears that gain a proclivity for human environments or for humans as prey. It's rare, though, and can (and should) be handled by wildlife management personnel whenever reasonable.

  • Would this not disqualify any mixed color? We only have receptors for three colors, and if we're arguing that purple isn't a color because it's actually two mixed together, that should also mean colors like orange, yellow, cyan, magenta, atc are also not colors by that definition right?
