Hmm, I think you’re right
- Comment on Why Are Conservatives More Susceptible to Believing Lies? 4 days ago:
And for political conservatives, but not for liberals, greater knowledge of science and math is associated with a greater likelihood of dismissing what almost all scientists believe about the human causation of global warming
Also known as the “I must know more than every scientist to ever live” effect

If you were very, very close to it, not exactly, since Jupiter’s mass is more spread out, making the gravitational pull slightly weaker at close range. But for practical purposes yeah nothing would change for us.

Ok, you’ve officially taken the propaganda phrases too far, because this one doesn’t even make sense. The purpose of an algebra test is ability to do algebra? The purpose of an intelligence test is pattern recognition, working memory, and some other things? Huh?
The right thing to say would be “The purpose of a test is what it does”, in keeping with the phrase you modified this from, but that’s arguably false too. The purpose of a test is what it was designed to do, and what it does is what it actually does.
You could say that the purpose of our continued usage of a test is to encourage what it actually does, regardless of what it was designed to do; which is what I believe you’re trying to say, and I would agree with that statement. But I object to the thoughtless propagation of dumb phrases like the one you used.

Redefining “intelligence” to mean “effectiveness” is dumb imo

Yeah it was rough for a year or two there… but Valve did a massive banwave and now I’ve only seen a group of bots join my server twice in the last year

I don’t smoke but my naturally high food curiosity and low inhibitions make me pretty similar in that department to someone who does

This functionality has been ripped out of the gam
Nope, see the server browser ingame
The game has been dead, riddled with bots
Not anymore!

Self-hosting isn’t too bad. With a properly configured router (not as hard as it sounds), if you’re hosting something like a lemmy instance, the worst people can do is spam you with too many requests. An ISP that disallows self-hosting is a bummer though… having a static IP is pretty essential.

I’m glad that AI is making it easier to enter into new areas of knowledge. I just hope it won’t be used as a crutch too far into people’s journeys.

Yeah, and copy-pasting SO answers with no thought is just as bad.

Dare I ask what the 930th episode is?
- Comment on Just Finished Lower Decks 2 weeks ago:
I’m a counterexample here, although that’s only an anecdote. Lower Decks was the first Star Trek show I’ve ever watched. Granted I was able to get some of the meta humor through cultural osmosis and hanging around other nerds, which was nice and may have helped.

And, if you think we could fight and win against the US govt and all of its current supporters, you are grossly mistaken.

Nothing? We’re furious. We just can’t do much to stop it.

They weren’t justifying anything or making a moral statement, they were just discussing the technical question that was posed.

Yes, that would be a good addition to the Lemmy ecosystem.
What I’m saying is, you can’t agree that we should help them avoid extremist instances AND say that the instance doesn’t matter.
