  What about search engines? These provide links as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Just a FYI, Canadian news agencies wanted social platforms like Facebook to pay for linking to their news articles.

  The argument from Canadian news agencies was that by social platforms sharing links on their social platforms, social platforms were directly increasing their sites user traffic and benefiting with increased ad revenue. News agencies argued this decreased their own ad revenue by decrease site traffic.

  Most people know a link directs a individual to the original site of the content. Since Facebook and other social sites did not want to pay a link fee they simply had chosen to remove links to Canadian news sites (as requested)

  By removing links to these sites on social platforms like Facebook, news agencies decreased their surface area of exposure. Thus news agencies decreased the amount of individuals being directed to their site and news articles.

  Simply put, Canadian news agencies wanted their cake and eat it too.

  Now search engine like Google search for example were exempt from this mandate because they only link to the article or external site. The irony in this is real.

  Obviously sites like Facebook “condensing a news article automatically” and presenting it on their own site, without a user needing to navigate away from Facebook as a example is a different issue and a valid point.

  Though please be aware, generally when a link shows up on Facebook and gets formatted with a picture and a paragraph underneath it. This feature is controlled directly by the external sites integration with Facebook or social platform, and they can choose how much of the link is condensed or shown.

  You just gave a detailed description of my life.

  I have some duplicate consoles where they are modded different ways just for the fun of it. Some of these consoles I have never actually played a game on for more then 20min.

  Maybe location tracking from Google maps giving a date when the car was driven and where, with a simple excel of distances calculated and tallied up for a given month or two.

  If the owner had a photo of the dash with the distance reported a few months earlier start there to see if the report distance matches what the excel table totals up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, technically correct and I am not disputing your points.

  But, we all know the cost of the tariff the local importer will need to pay the local government will be passed on to local consumers.

  My distinction and argument is if the government said “we will increase taxes on all products at your local grocery store by 145℅” people would flip. But when the wording become we will tariff “other countries” people forget who actually pays that tariff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Its insane that a tax is also charged on top of the already applied tariff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hopefully gamers get together and protest Trump out of office for artificially bumping up the costs of goods.

  Tarrifs = Tax

  A tax that working people pay, in the country that set the tarriff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks Trump for adding a 145% “tax” on my electronics. How am I supposed to afford anything now!?

  Guess I may as well just go protest instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting logic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The Orvil did a episode on that where they found a two dimensional universe with life in it. The bad part, three dimensional life cannot exist in two dimensions with a digestive track, it gets split into two parts.

  I can’t imagine a forth, fifth, or sixth dimension or how a three dimensional being could survive it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting logic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well put, this was my training of thought as well.

  As a analogy, our body is the Universe. Our fingernails (the moon) do not experience themselves or have any awareness of their own existence. Our mind (a living thing) knows and experiences our fingernails and is aware of its own existence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting logic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely agreed, these conversations are generally very deep and definitely the Shit Post community is not the best fit for them.

  That being said this one idea always resonated with me.

  The idea that “we are drops of water joining to create the ocean”, suggesting that individuals are interconnected and form a larger whole, like drops of water merging to create a vast ocean.

  Or how’s Ajaan, the Buddhist monk in season 2 of White Lotus phrases it.

  “When you were born, you were like a single drop of water separated from the one giant consciousness. You are born, then you die to descend back into the water and become one with the ocean again. No more separated, no more suffering.”

  I thought this was beautiful put.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting logic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would probably ask, what is God if not the Universe?

  I suppose the next though would be is God apart of the Universe, or do they reside outside of the Universe?

  If God were apart of the Universe, did they create themselves and the Universe, or did God themselves come into being at the Universe’s creation? Is God the Universe its self?

  That saying that God is all within us, at least to me seems to imply that God is the Universe, and since humans are “created of the stars” we have God within us.

  Or alternatively if God resides outside the Universe? Would that imply there is more beyond the Universe or do we simply reside in a “simulation” of sorts.

  How else could MAGA stay connected to the tweets if they could not afford the phone?

  They would probably start thinking for themselves if access to the media did not tell them what to think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting logic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If humans are born of the universe, and humans are sentient. Is the universe not its self sentient.

  The universe created life to experience its self. Or was the universe in its self already alive?

  What about the American people constantly complaining about aliens illegally entering their country? Explain this!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting logic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also given the scale of time of the universe. We as humans have only existed for a small amout of time on the vast scale of things.

  Countless alien civilizations may have existed and destroyed themselves, and may others may have not come into existence yet.
