But seriously people, you’re supposed to leave enough space to be able to come to a full stop if the person in front of you were to suddenly come to a full stop.
Can you bring a 60mph car to a stop in 10 bible lengths? No? Then backup further.
Yes, but the article is literally nothing without that information.
The only interesting thing about a new approach to laser internet is if they’ve solved the critical issue holding it back.
Prior to that I had struggled with the concept of if there is a being that could have created all of existence, us as human beings would be like a flea trying to comprehend the lunar landing. And if a being of that caliber exist I cannot fathom that it would care whether or not you touched yourself at night. Or who you were in the bed with.
The more we learn about both the universe at large, and the history of our own species and planet, the more that seems true.
Human civilization as we conceive it (creating settlements and agriculture) has only existed for like 10k years.
Human beings as we conceive them have existed for like 300k- 400k years before that ☝️.
The first human-like creatures (Habilis), existed for 1600k years before that ☝️.
There was 66000k years of creatures just existing and adapting and competing and evolving from the point of the dinosaurs being extinct until the point of Habilis ☝️.
And to get to the point of the dinosaurs being extinct, it took 3700000k of life evolving on earth ☝️.
Those numbers are truly mind numbingly, staggeringly huge. Human civilization has existed for 10k, and we’re talking about a process that took 3,700,000k of random chance to get to that. The idea that God cares about what you jerk off to is wild.
Lmfao, says the guy who immediately devolved the discussion to ‘youre defending a pedophile’, when I suggested that a world wide conspiracy might not exist.
Keep insisting that a cabal is putting you down specifically, I’m sure it’s easier to accept than you just kind of sucking as a person.
Oh wow, an edge lord on the internet called me a pedophile billionaire apologist, how original, what keen intellect, what honest discussion.
Quote the exact words where I called children prostitutes. Don’t worry, reading comprehension is a learned skill, but we can get there.
Please quote where I said it was ok.
Oh, you’re from lemmy.ml, I shouldn’t have bothered engaging in the first place, that makes sense.
Lmao, enjoy trying to navigate life thinking that saying the magic words “WEF, Epstein Island, Microsoft”, counts as overwhelming evidence, or even counts as a coherent logical train of thought.
Lol no it fucking doesn’t. My fucking god, you people are fucking conspiracy theory crazy.
Literally all of his actions can be explained by him simply acting out if self interest at each decision point. None of it implies a larger plot in any way shape or form.
Honestly, you sound like religious who people who desperately need their to be some larger machinations at work and can’t just accept that most things happen due to random chance.
Also, weird you call children “prostitutes”.
No, it’s weird that you think that every girl Epstein had on his island was underage. Or maybe you didn’t read actual reporting, just internet conspiracy theories.
At the same time it’s also true and provable that uncle Bill spends his money lobbying various domestic and international organizations to further his and by proxy the owner class’es interest.
It’s provable that he seems to do it to further his own interests, but it’s also entirely possible (if I personally think unlikely), that he lobbied for that path because he thought it was the more practical path that was more likely to succeed or gain traction for whatever reason.
Or he may have done it because he has a vested interested in maintaining IP law, or maybe he has friends who do who convinced him it was important, and he did it because he wanted to please his friends.
Or maybe he did it because he was really conniving and constantly thinking specifically about class principles and how to fuck the lower classes. But I suspect the reality is simpler.
But it doesn’t take a mastermind, nor imply a larger world ending plot.
Cool beans, guess what you’re responsible for then?
What percentage of responsibility for that genocide goes to Microsoft? What percentage goes to Ford or GM or whoever sells them cars? What percentage goes to AWS? What percentage goes the people who make the roads they use?
Lol, the idea that a billionaire liked to go to his friend’s party Island and fuck prostitutes automatically means he’s also part of an intentionally world ending cabal is flat out tin foil hat level conspiracy theory.
Occams razor would suggest that Epstein was popular because people like to fuck, not because he was an evil mastermind.
Oh I’m sorry, did I express an opinion that wasn’t an overly simplistic black or white answer? Thank god the internet edge lord economy is still going strong to correct me.
Quite frankly I agree, but was being more pessimistic to show that the original point stands regardless of how you feel about his time at Microsoft.
Fell for what? From all publicly available information, Bill Gates is an objectively better person that is putting his money to far better good than Elon and is an example of how billionaires should behave.
Does that mean that he’s overall a net “good” person in the grand, karmic, life total sense? Hard to say, given the abuse that Microsoft perpetuated to become Microsoft, probably not, but that doesn’t change any of the first part.
It’s not even particularly accurate or nuanced in its history of Microsoft’s actions and the doc formats, it doesn’t mention any competitors, it doesn’t mention anything about the history of type setting generally or more advanced projects like LaTex, and at a fundamental level, it’s edited worse than my first year essays.
It spends like 2000 words just to say markdown good because it focuses on intent rather than a particular style.
Yes, I would describe it as bad.
That kind of boneheadedness is annoying, but it’s at least just annoying and wastes a bit of time. Tailgating and driving impatiently actually gets people killed every single day.
