I don’t like Tyson because I feel he preaches an inaccurate version of the scientific philosophy. So many times I hear him saying things along the lines of absolute certainty, because it’s SCIENCE.

Where, we of the true faith, preach: the evidence indicates that this is the most likely to be true, or at least, this model makes predictions about the world more reliably than any other we currently have.

Amen.

Pretty soon that devine right of kings and thing is going to look laughable by comparison.

Kings were nowhere near this rich, or powerful.

While I know that these days, bugs in code can cause real-world harm (personal info leaks, superannuation records lost, lol google), I find it humorous to think of the equivalent, even worse outcomes in my discipline (chemical/process engineering).

“Didn’t do any checks, fuck it, I know this calculation is fire 🔥”

Later: 🔥🔥💥

The number of people he’s said he hates or called names because they’ve either supported the Harris campaign, or spoken against his, seems to be quite a lot.

Baffles me that anyone could look on and think, “hmm yes, this guy seems socially intelligent”, is beyond me.

Australian y’all user checking in. It’s not my fault there’s no plural you in English, and the local (uncommon) variant “yous” has uneducated associations. Which, of course is unfair, but such is language and society.

Anyway, thanks y’all, I’m going to keep using it.

How long do patents last for anyway? Pokemon being caught in balls must be many, many decades old by this point.

They’ve started serving ads when you skip backwards. Drives me fucking nuts.

I was willing to use the mobile app with ads because the interface is slightly less buggy.

Ad blocking on mobile web it is for me now 👍

I do think it’s reasonable to say they are all wrong, but I agree with you, this logic provided in the image doesn’t make sense.

It being impossible for all to be true, doesn’t imply they are all false.

It’s likely they are all false, if you subscribe to the philosophy of science, where without testable evidence, it’s deemed unreasonable to assume something likely to be true.

The (in my opinion) correct opinion is that all religions are very likely false, because none have provided convincing evidence according to the scientific method.

This is what I was thinking (but the younger age is younger)

In other countries, not only would the voter suppression be illegal, but racial hate speech would also land this fucker in jail.

Oooooooooh, yes thank you. This will stop bothering me now 😌

Our of curiosity, and because I couldn’t immediately find anything. Is MoveOn actively trying to change the voting system itself?

Total side note because I could find anything on it. Why is it “Get Out The Vote” and not “Get Out To Vote”?

The popular one doesn’t seem to make grammatical sense, is this some older form of grammar hanging around in a popular slogan?

I don’t think any zoning laws anywhere in Australia would allow for this on public roads.

Happy to be corrected, but this shit takes it’s toll on everyone else’s wellbeing.

When I lived about 5 km from the city (Melbourne), I’d hear some arsehole (cars, as well as bikes) ripping it down the road at least every 20 minutes, all fucking day.

I do not give a shit what your hobbies are, but they had better not be giving me heart disease…

These fuckers deserve to have their bikes/cars confiscated for putting on illegal mods on the second offence. Not per vehicle, per fucking lifetime.

You get one chance, then you had better start keeping receipts so you never have an illegal mod ever again…

Memes on the internet have taught me angering the swifties is not a good idea

So, if you plan an arson as a protest, is that 8 years or 18 years?

Eating your offspring seems terribly energy inefficient

You mean, as an emotional support vehicle?

I’m on the youngest side of the millennials, when do I inherit, since I often like to phone in, as these days if you want something fixed quick, you’re better off calling (in Australia at least).

Much better waiting on hold for 10 mins than who knows how many business days before the customer service inevitably copy pastes something from the FAQ that doesn’t resolve your problem.

Also, I like to call friends, on the phone. And use SMS 0_0

Again, when can I get my inheritance, thanks haha

A video which puts all the arguments better than I ever could: https://youtu.be/jN7mSXMruEo

But the notion you can only have high clearance by making your hood so massive to the point you can’t see your child as you run them over in your own driveway, doesn’t make sense.

I’d strongly encourage you to give the video a go.

These trucks are now infesting my streets to (Australia) to a lesser degree. It’s an arms race that really needs to be stopped. I hope you consider some of the points made in the video.
