It also reminds me of people’s birthdays.
I don't get it here. It'd probably take you an afternoon to put everyone's birthday in a spreadsheet or calendar, and then you've made some effort to actually learning their birthdays, leading to a somewhat more personal connection with that person.
it’s just really the best option for events
I feel like this is just confirmation bias. At this point it's literally a prisoner's dilemma between your social circle. You could all leave and have a better atmosphere and platform, but if you left alone you'd be missing out. FOMO, etc.
I'm probably biased here as well, as my age group has left Facebook, but all I really see on facebook are big announcements like engagements, childbirths and have contacts with only distant friends that I don't really care much about, so leaving is "easy"
Zuckerfuck isn’t great, but he hasn’t trashed Facebook to quite the degree Musk has trashed Twitter…
This is crazy because before Musk changed twitter so dramatically, Facebook was the exemplar of a bad trash platform. I have to agree that Twitter might be worse now, though.
In the modern day, this feels like satire, but for the time I'd imagine Ubuntu was not as easy to use, and courses would also tell you junk like "This document must be done in Word" and require an .xlsx file or something, complaining that the formatting will get messed up if you use another format (PDF isn't goo enough for some reason).
There are well-designed urinals now that don't splash back. Add to that, If there's a divider, then the urinal is convenient, quicker and imo cleaner because you don't have to touch the stall door or lock to close it and you're not pissing on the seat or sitting down. It's literally no-contact
Why do these whining posts get upvotes? Nobody cares, that's the whole point of the federation. You can move where you want to be

Went on a tirade talking about "the poors" after he got told to check in his carry-on on a flight
This is what I don't get, people not migrating from a shit platform. Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, etc.
They all just reach this critical mass where people decide the benefit of everyone else using it outweighs all the negatives of the platform being abusive to its own users
This. AI Hype beasts keep saying "This is the worst AI will ever be" and "It'll just get better" but really it's just going to get worse as they actually try to turn the bubble into a profit
About half of rape allegations reported to police are already false
It seems like this number varies from 1% to 70% depending on what measurements you take. Rape is nearly impossible to prove or disprove, as the action usually happens in private and even if there's DNA evidence, you can just say it was consensual, so I'm not sure how you can get to the matter that any percent are true or false with any certainty.
Maybe the complainant said there was no rape after being intimidated, or deciding that the legal battle isn't worth it?
Why not both?
People who have been raped -- could be too intimidated, but that doesn't speak for those who haven't.
I know that the "false accusation" crowd is vastly overexaggerated, but if you HAD to report a rape to get access to an abortion when you needed one, it could actually cause motivation for it, too.
And then that circles back, people assuming that when you're reporting a rape it might be a false accusation because you want an abortion.
And it really would be so easy for them to AT LEAST argue from the perspective of "Allow abortion for 10 year olds"
Hmm, ok. Let me retry.
The digits of pi are not proven to be uniform or randomly distributed according to any pattern.
Pi could have a point where it stops having 9's at all.
If that's the case, it would not contain all sequences that contain the digit 9, and could not contain all sequences.
While we can't look at all the digits of Pi, we could consider that the uniform behavior of the digits in pi ends at some point, and wherever there would usually be a 9, the digit is instead a 1. This new number candidate for pi is infinite, doesn’t repeat and contains all the known properties of pi.
Therefore, it is possible that not any finite sequence of non-repeating numbers would appear somewhere in Pi.
I kind of get what you're saying, but it's just the wording is weird to me I guess. It feels like colloquially you would say "This person is responsible for the killing" to be equivalent to "This person committed the killing", so I would wonder why anyone wouldn't answer 'yes' the person is responsible.
I think that this confusing wording introduces bias.
The person who committed the killing has “a great deal” or “a moderate amount” of responsibility for the Dec. 4 shooting of Brian Thompson
Is this meant to be a control or something? Isn't literally the person committing the killing responsible for the shooting... I don't get how that's not saying the same exact thing
It's amazing how easily he stretched a 20 year to 15 year age gap to Matt Gaetz, who is like 40 years old.
Prove that said number isn't pi.
Honestly don't get why they're still around and what they do.
Also not to mention, it influences your friends or family and the people you interact with. Unless you're an antisocial hermit, you're going to be affected one way or another
They could boost every single employee’s pay by $5000 annually and still make a billion dollars in profit.
Except for the corporate employees / managers, which get stock options that are much higher than $5,000 annually ofc
