This has nothing on Kelingking Beach in Indonesia. Gorgeous place but the hike down to beach is insane.

I feel like you’d have to be a serious “hacker” kind of person to be anonymous on the internet.

Majority of people use their phone. I’m sure the government right now could tell who I actually am if they wanted to know. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone on Lemmy could even figure it out.

Home WiFi?

Let me go sign up for a VPN with all my info…

I mean is it all really worth it?

I could be in the minority but I would rather watch tailored ads than hear another medication commercial.

Do I care that “they” know what kind of YouTube videos I watch? Do I even care what kind of porn I watch?

I am all for privacy and freedom don’t get me wrong. I think we should fight.

But it does feel like we have lost the fight. What’s wrong is we have to worry about what the government will do with that information.

We make a big deal about giving Pornhub our information but gladly hand it over to Amazon. Hell people would probably send in blood to get free 2-day shipping.

Distance and size makes the most difference.

If you’re sitting ~7’ back from a 50" TV it really doesn’t matter if it’s 720, 1080, 4k, or 8k.

You have to be right up on it to tell or have a huge screen.

Nicer TVs do have better color and contrast that you can tell from any distance. But generally you have to have something to compare it to for it to really matter. Dark scenes on a poor quality TV can look awful.

They thought of that and gave him a decoy medal

Lawn darts were so cool

Anyone arguing that anything that happened on a previous day is relevant

This could make it premeditated

Ice sees gun, knows they could push a future altercation

Imagine if Pretti didn’t have a gun. Ice tackles unarmed guy and shoots him? Other than AI unbelievers it would be a hard sell.

Sounds like anendophasia

It is not considered a disorder

If we were to make a computer to “read our minds” it would pick up on our internal dialog which people with anendophasia do not have.

People with anendophasia are not dumb. They just think different.

Like imagine a person that was born deaf. They can’t have a verbal dialog in their heads. They could imagine sign language, images, or words. But just because they were born deaf doesn’t mean their IQ is low. They just think different.

A bat can bite you in your sleep (more likely to bite a human if rabid) and you may not even know you were bitten because they have tiny teeth.

Definitely worth notifying everyone that could have came in contact.

A libertarian who decides they want no government control is an anarchist.

If they want limited government control they are libertarians.

They are similar but differ on a key issue, government control. And that’s the biggest issue for anarchists.

If I say I am an anarchist it means I do not want the government in public libraries at all.

Now if you need to rip the bandage off fast or slow is debatable, but there is no debate on if the bandage needs to come off completely for an anarchist.

If I say I am a libertarian it means I want the government limited in public libraries.

Again, how fast it needs to change is debatable.

They both rely on the goodness of the people rather than a government. They both share pretty much the exact same ideology, other that anarchists are for “No Authority” and libertarians are for “Limited Government”

Personally, I don’t think a public library would exist in today’s world without the government.

You want me to donate money so people who cannot afford books can go and check out physical copies of books they can look at digitally for free?

I’m better off donating to a homeless shelter or another cause.

Libraries are only good for homeless and poor now because we currently do not give them better options.

You can’t call yourself a communist and only want socialism.

What you’re describing is libertarianism

Limited government control (Against Anarchy). Highest personal freedom (For Anarchy).

Both anarchists and libertarians would argue that the people would fund a “public” library if the government didn’t. That has not been tested.

Anarchists are against public ran and funded libraries.

If anarchists got their way there would be no state to run the public library

You could make the argument that something like “free little library” or just people supporting the idea of neighborhood free libraries is proof

But no true anarchist is going to be happy paying taxes to a state for the state to decide what books are available to them.

You don’t have to be on the Left to not be on the Reich

I feel like a lot of people miss this point

This is all the more disturbing when people won’t vax “because the government put something in it”

Like the “government” wants something in you, it’s going to do it. No point in worrying.

People won’t drink tap water for the same reason, then turn around and buy a bottle of “natural spring” water that’s not nearly as regulated.

I’ll take my chances with city water treatment scientists, rather than the greedy smart water CEOs

You had me at the first part

Then was like “It’s okay for the holey lifeboat company to sell their remaining stock because we wouldn’t want them to have to lose money or waste a perfectly good holey lifeboats”

Time is mostly base 60. It goes against the metric system based 10.

It’s like saying milifoot. For 1/1000th of a foot. Doesn’t make it a metric unit.

Ohh I see now.

Yeah 160° is too hot. But people do it. Small tank multiple showers needed. You can stretch it.

I was saying for people that have their water too hot. The regulator inside the US mixing valve has a stopper so you can’t go to max hot. That’s all the piece inside does, stops you from turning the valve more. Doesn’t help reglate the temperature. Someone in comments said their regulator is bad and I thought it was OP.
