- Comment on Belief 3 hours ago:
Depends. A lot of people build bubbles and spend the rest of their lives reinforcing their walls. They will deeply interact only with very few hand-picked people, and their mutual trust keeps getting stronger. Also, you might be surprised that a lot of people never even read or watch the news.
From this POV, your faith in what you think represents humanity might as well increase over time. - Comment on How to reduce the crime rate to 0 2 days ago:

Reminder that Jan Zalasiewicz received an Ig Nobel price in 2023 “for explaining why many scientists like to lick rocks.”
- Comment on Delicious rocks 5 days ago:
On the other hand, Hg is actually safe to lick. It’s a lot more noble than, for example, silver, so acids and bases won’t attack it. Lots of people even have it stored in their teeth, permanently.

Perhaps it’s time to rehash an old Soviet joke, with switched roles:
European: I can walk into the Berlaymont building, I can pound the president’s desk, and I can say: “Mrs. President, I don’t like the way you’re running the EU.”
American: I can do that.
European: You can?
American: Yes. I can go into the White House to the Oval Office, I can pound the desk and say: “Mr. President, I don’t like the way President von der Leyen is running the EU.” - Comment on Everyone is so close to grasping your unique vision! 1 week ago:
To quote David Salomon:
The more closed a worldview, or - phrased differently - the more systematic and scientific an ideology is, the less it will be able to muster the pragmatism necessary to establish a hegemonic position. A worldview, a doctrine, a system in its pure form is never capable of hegemony. The capacity for hegemony contaminates thought structures. It manifests itself downright in the willingness to integrate other positions and ideologies.
Pessimistic Corollary: Ideological purity is a moral consolation price for those with no shot at power.
Optimistic Corollary: Ideological purity is an essential requirement, as a means to inoculate a budding movement against the inevitable corruption and adulteration caused later by real life conditions, and to sow the seeds of a future enlightened society. - Comment on Word. 1 week ago:

The exact stipulations strongly depend on the jurisdiction because there is no EU-wide legal framework.
For example, you may put them up, but then you are also required to put up warning signs so nobody runs the risk of being accidentally caught on camera. Or the cameras might not be allowed to directly face the street/ public areas, only your immediate private property. - Comment on :3 2 weeks ago:

Yeah, because it kills you. Kerosene and similar low-viscosity hydrocarbons in your stomach migrate to the lungs, causing them to collapse. Not a nice way to go.

Reminder that, per Wikipedia, aflatoxins - the poisons in molds - “are among the most carcinogenic substances known.”
Furthermore, aflatoxin B~1~ can permeate through the skin and its LD~50~ can be as low as 300 µg/kg. - Comment on Where is heart?! 4 weeks ago:
If “Fire” is supposed to represent radioactive elements, quite a few corrections would be necessary.
