Well yeah, that’s who is paying for Jeffries and Schumer to do absolutely fuck all this whole time.

You light about a thousand fires with a bic lighter and then pull out the second one you got for 89 cents. How many times do you have to do that before you wish you brought an arc lighter instead?

People get really disappointed when they learn that there could be an identical version of earth complete with humans and television orbiting around the nearest stars and we wouldn’t be able to detect them with our current monitoring abilities due to the amount of interference in space.

You are talking about a trip that would last longer than human civilization has existed.

Sadly the universe is filled with enough random radio radiation that its unlikely any coherent signal is going to travel more than a few light years. With our current technology there could be an identical version of earth around the nearest star and we probably couldn’t detect it.

No, not unless we have made some serious mistakes in our understanding of physics.

I bet roasted dwarf is delicious.

It would probably taste like if you made a refinery out of charred chicken meat.

So if I lose a lawsuit can my money decide it doesn’t want to go to the other person’s account?

a) Bullshit you haven’t ever done anything illegal that you got away with
b) There is a whole galaxy of shit that isn’t illegal that you don’t want shared. How often do you jerk off dad? What was the last porn video you watched?

You can still learn where the streets are. Seattle is one of the worst planned cities in America and you can still navigate it by route if you’ve spent twenty years learning it.

Depends on the area and how familiar it is and how hostile it is to navigation. I can beat the Google maps time 9 out if 10 times in Seattle because Google sends you through some seriously dumb intersections.

Even more scarce is the ability to navigate a city by simply understanding it’s road system. Give me an address in my home city (a labyrinthine nightmare to visitors) and I can just drive there without looking at a map. It’s practically a party trick now that I can tell where people live by just hearing their address. Which sounds absurd until you realize they no one ever needs to do that anymore.

At this point it’s actually kind of useful as a mild coded writing that excludes idiots.

You are suggesting that a social attitude that women should be married by 25 is equivalent to a country banning women from autonomy?

Define “get away with.”

Imagine if you heard that Japan cut off people heads for saying bad things about their king or that they still had slavery or that they were dropping bombs on their neighbors. They would never “get away” with that!

This might actually be the dumbest post I have seen on Lemmy yet.

Sure, but you don’t need a license for mesh.

I bought an actual MP3 player and download music. I know it sounds like a pain in the ass, but it makes you think much more intentionally about the music you listen to and you engage a lot more and get a better sense of your preferences. This is also makes it way easier to listen to whole albums the way the artists intended and give a much better experience overall than just listening to whatever random mix of songs the algorithm wants to throw at you.

It also means I can have real outputs and use better and more inexpensive headphones and can listen wherever and whenever I want without needing to worry about internet access or data usage and I can pick it up and listen to music without having to read whatever bullshit notifications or communications are on my phone at any given time.

I have found that making decisions that minimize how often I have to look at my phone has made my mental health a lot better. I read books with real books or on a separate e-book device, I listen to music with a music player, I play games on a handheld console, I watch video entertainment on a TV. I use my phone for communicating and reading the news, that’s about it, and I think its a lot better that way.

150 years? That would have been damned near impossible 25 years ago, or at least prohibitively expensive for a civilian to just do off the cuff.

Sure, but you would have to give up the fact that you can run a pretty large machine on nothing but twinkies and Mt Dew.
