So you should go touch some grass, or whatever pathetic way that inane saying goes. You are the one on your high horse, making poor excuses for poor reasons.

They have read nothing but Harry Potter, so they will never know how subpar it is compared to so much other engaging young adult fantasy.

Part of the reason why he always stands pointing out his ass like he is about to take a shit in your general direction.

It is pronounced pretty much the same way in a number of different languages.
And “yacht” or variations of it are used in the exact same way in a lot of other languages. It is really an exceptionally unfortunate example the monolinguistic OOP chose to be their point.
That is how all languages works.
And the algorithm is programmed to follow particularly American puritanical values, as they are aimed at the American consumer market, but of course on account of the universal nature of the internet, we all get to enjoy the results of it now.
Yeah, it is an extremely typical native English speaking monolinguist take. They always manage to find examples that are common in basically all languages and assuming it is some esoteric English language quirp.

Yeah, it is pretty obvious to everyone what Trump is trying to do here. He attempted it in his previous presidency as well, but only hafl-assedly and late in his term. Everyone knew what he was trying to do back then as well.
This time he is definitely more determined and sure of himself, not least because he got the full support of his backers.

breecher@sh.itjust.worksto People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•Spending your limited time on earth wisely2·2 days agoThe thing is your story seems more to confirm the scientific consensus around consciousness as connected to the physical existence of the brain. You describe how ancient medicine functioned through trial and error. Some times they came up with stuff that worked, more often than not they didn’t, and they had no way of knowing why a cure worked until scientific progress had discovered the underlying explanations for it. So when they found a cure that just happened to work on a certain disease, they would apply it for all sorts of diseases, or lacking proper diagnosis, would mistake other diseases for the disease it worked on and so forth.
It was blind chance without any actual useful theory behind it. Now we have useful theory which explains why consciousness would be linked to the physical cognitive functions of a brain, and less and less that would explain how it could exist without it.
breecher@sh.itjust.worksto People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•Spending your limited time on earth wisely2·2 days agoNo, both of those still involves some form of brain consciousness. What we don’t have any evidence of is consciousness existing without a physical body.
Looks boiled, not raw. Still, it shouldn’t be boiled.
