That and the lead poisoning.
That and the lead poisoning.
So the Panopticon. The hypothetical prison that even people in the 1800s thought would be a human rights violation to build because it was such an extreme form of psychological torture.
It’s not a modern standards thing, Genghis Khan was seen as a complete monster in his own time.
The claim is “Earth isn’t a planet”, sometimes with the addition of “space isn’t real”.
However, as the name implies, this is nothing special about pi. Almost all numbers have this property. If anything, it’s the integers that we should be finding weird, like you mean to tell me that every single digit after the decimal point is a zero? No matter how far you go, just zeroes forever?
“Why” implies they act according to some form of logic. The thing is, they’re racists, and racists tend to be fucking stupid.
It should be legal to slash the tires of anyone who does this.
Remember the 13 billion years before you were born? More of that.
It’s the fact that it could just be a checkbox in search settings, but they make it as hidden as humanly possible, not only is it in the registry, but it’s not an existing flag you can change, it’s a flag you have to know the exact name of to add. It only takes a minute if you’re the type of person to be here commenting on a Linux meme on Lemmy, but to the average user, the option almost doesn’t exist.

Somewhat pedantically speaking, the belief that an evil god exists (exclusively or otherwise) is dystheism. Misotheism is the hatred of a god or gods. Dystheism implies misotheism, but they’re not exactly the same.

Upstate in NY is literally the entire state other than NYC and Long Island.
It’s actually even worse. They tried to pass off 2048x1080 as a big upgrade over 1920x1080 by marketing it as “2K”. It didn’t work, but locked marketing into using the horizontal resolution.
Is this an actual thing or is it a misinterpretation of the standard boilerplate “you grant us a non-exclusive non-transferrable license to do the basic things that make a post visible to other people on the internet” message that every platform where you post stuff has?
4G LTE was the point of no return. It was supposed to mean “it’s not 4G yet but we have an upgrade plan to get there”, but when they finally did, marketing found out that to the average person, going from 4G LTE to 4G sounded like a downgrade, so they rebranded it to 5G.
No one can do a billion dollars worth of labor in a human lifetime. The only way to get a billion dollars is to exploit the labor of many, many others.
