    It’s condensed content with simpler terms and plain English, which is helpful for those who aren’t native speakers, like Gamba said.
    Simple wiki also comes in handy in topics like biology, which can have very specialized vocabulary.

    But in this context, the people who unironically believe in things like the moon not being a reflector can’t be reasoned with. They won’t change their mind no matter how simple English you explain the fact.

    Google search results are often completely unrelated so it’s not any better. If the thing I’m looking for is obscure, AI often finds some thread that I can follow, but I always double check that information.
    Know your tool limits, after hundreds of prompts I’ve learned pretty well when the AI is spitting bullshit answers. Real people on the internet can be just as wrong and biased, so it’s best to find multiple independent sources

    thankfully modern ones like molten salt reactors have passive safety, where they stop the reaction if overheating occurs.
    edit: My mistake, there’s no active commercial molten salt reactors.
    But nuclear power is very safe nowadays because of the multiple fail-safes, which some can still be passive like emergency cooling.
    I much rather get electricity from magic rocks than destroying rain forest in developing countries drilling oil, gas or mining coal.
    The biggest risk in nuclear is environmental disasters like in Fukushima’s case, which is the last significant nuclear incident in past 13 years

    I loved every bit of Rain World! But I ended up quitting it mid play through when it became too hard. I found a way to gather stacks of berries to have enough reattempts for the hard parts, but then got lost where I was even supposed to go and gave up after ~25 hours playtime

    Whoop, I mixed up dark souls 3 with Elden ring. Though, the same applies. I did like the gritty atmosphere and lore. The main issue I had was the learning curve and when trying to playing co-op there was no way to turn off strangers joining what I recall. But I bet by now there’s mods for all of that like you said.






  • Same thing with alcohol prohibition. People are going to break the law, legal or not. The US is said to be the freedom land, but women can’t have autonomy over their bodies.
    What I gathered is that 70% of the US congress is men, so it’s not their freedom that they sacrifice.  
    Christian values are important to some voters, so politicians can gain free points by promising anti-abortion laws.  
    The politicians who make such decisions think one term at a time and disregard the consequences as long as it doesn’t affect them. If they actually cared, they would also advocate for childcare benefits.



  • I believe abortion is killing, but it only becomes murder by definition if abortion is outlawed. The literal definition is “the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.”
    The fetus won’t have cerebral cortex till +12 weeks; no consciousness. So it wouldn’t be much different than killing a plant or bacteria. It’s debated when it becomes a human.
    Yes, I justify murder as it will likely reduce the suffering. Thus, I am a monster in Christians eyes.






  • I genuinely thought symlinking these files was standard because how many people I have seen suggesting it. I have had this issue so many times when I needed to that one program updated but there’s no newer libraries in AUR. Surprisingly, I haven’t had issues and I’ve been doing this past 5 years on my personal system. So I guess I consider compiling from source next time.
