I just stated that I wasn’t interested in anything specifically, don’t have any one solution in mind. Not that it’s bad per se.

Beautiful article thanks for sharing.

This highlights the problem that inherently exists in nature: feedback loops.

Repeated exposure to similar information or signals amplifies/entrenches existing patterns and can lead to distortion, narrowing frequencies, and reduced adaptability.

Its why these people turn into racists, sexists, abusers, etc. they get what they want all the time simply because they have money and power and know how to game systems. So they learn on those narrow pathways that they get what they want when they want.

They learn a reality that doesn’t exist for the greater whole because they themselves are not living as the greater whole does. None of this is rocket science.

I have to conclude that Extreme wealth threatens the stability of our society. Not arguing for communism or anything else. Every path has its hazards and shortcuts. Just pointing out problems and opening the floor to discussion of the problem and potential solutions

This is literally no other day.

This is what happens as we discover dangerous technologies, there is an arms face and mutual destruction is assured and walked back over time.

Game theory.

Jsyk you can disable the location stuff, but they do scan everything for “WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDRENNN” purposes which means it could just as easily be scanned for [ARBITRARY_NATIONAL_SECURITY_REASON] or whatever else they want so not sure it’s a very privacy friendly solution.

Their support also sucks ass - they bombed me with like 100+ emails the one day because their system must’ve glitched out. Never have gotten a real person before, it’s almost always a bot with a human name and the cam girl bot farms come through every now and then spamming you with friend adds

Careful, don’t let the folks on Lemmy.ml see this

We’re not a fascist, propaganda-addicted cult guys, trust us

You’re purposefully dancing around the point.

You’re claiming religious people are more social than anyone else. That’s a ridiculous claim and you know it.

Not going to spend anymore time engaging in your games lol

I haven’t generalize anything - I was speaking of this specific instance but see whatever you want to see ig

Ah okay, we’re on the same page now - you were referring to their last bit, not necessarily the first when speaking of Einstein. That lines up with what I knew about his beliefs

Source?

Your first sentence. What actual statistical evidence do you have for this.

Victimized ✅

Logical fallacy of ignorance ✅

Ignores the atrocities and genocide committed in the name of “religion” ✅

You are quite literally the pot calling the kettle black with your “small minded” comment. Nobody here was persecuting religion, but specific implementations that have committed mass murder, or engage in obnoxious displays (screaming at people at events (some events designed to support groups of people), going door to door, shaming vulnerable people trying to get medical procedures, etc etc)

The day you widen your view to see others perspectives and history of abuse is the day you’ll actually be on the right “religious” track. Humanity is the religion.

I like this explanation most

Based on what evidence lmao

Classic.

How do you know that the real creator(s) are documented?

You’ve been threatened and Stockholm’d through fear, likely as a child or when vulnerable into seeing 1 alternative, when the alternatives are infinite

Okay but here in the real world, those making the claim have the burden of proof.

This is a classic, literally text book example of the logical fallacy of ignorance.

Invisible unicorns exist, and because you can’t disprove it, we should build unicorn fences.

The logic doesn’t follow.

It’s an important social event for teenagers. It affords a time for teens to dress up and look extra nice and make some coming of adult age decisions like asking your crush to dance, abstaining from peer pressure, etc.

It’s an event for teens to be feel special, have fun and to exercise self control. College comes quickly after and a lot of them are studying for finals and so on so it’s a good way to blow off steam.

Ultimately, just another cultural implementation. Other countries have similar events I can only imagine

Red flags aren’t guaranteed to be a problem, they should just weigh heavier on your assessment of risk

Cheap TLDs should always be a red flag imo

Here’s the problem. This is the internet.

These are locally run and often volunteer based instances.

Anyone can spawn any amount of accounts and run their instance however they’d like, giving lots of trolls neat little nooks to hide in.

You’re expecting to get real results? How did you account for multiple votes? How are you even sure that the data from the polls if unique, is accurate?

Garbage in. Garbage out. People will use Lemmy if they want to. End of story. Idk why everyone is so obsessed with inflating user counts
