Would you believe anyone who told you?
Because that would be the actual problem.
An almighty God doesn’t need humans or churches to spread the story.

The internet is like that, yes.
At least there are no advertising here.
Some turtles live to be 200.


All the movies by Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill.
It doesn’t matter which one, because the plot is always the same.


I like the idea, but unfortunately most PCs don’t boot from USB out of the box. It requires a few easy steps, but this might just be enough for a lot of people not to try it.


He goes on a rant, saying out loud what everyone is thinking.
This is unusual for him.
Personally I liked the start of it more, where he clearly and simply explains some basic facts that a lot of people need to understand.
Just like many other good distros, Friends ended when the larger one ate the smaller ones.


Pulled Winnie the Pooh.
It’s honey marinated and fat.
That song was written in 1963 in New York.


Can it be used to find the ICE employees?


Photo retouching as a physical trade. Colour photography and instant development killed the art of retouching black and white photos almost from one day to the next, because nobody could retouch colour photos and nobody wanted to pay for retouching black and white photos anymore, when Polaroids were easy to reshoot. My grandparents did it, but had to close the shop in the 1980s. I still have a few of their pens, but most of it ended up in a museum.
50 years ago was in the 1970s. I actually think more skills were lost just in the 20 years prior to that than after. This is due to mass production and plastic, which created the consumer products since the 1960s. Prior to that, you’d actually consider all products (except food) to be a purchase for life.


You don’t need artificial intelligence. We already have intelligence at home.


It’s difficult to read if you can only watch the person typing.
Sort of like lip reading


A brain itself doesn’t feel physical pain. That requires a nervous system and pain receptors of which the brain has none. Brain surgery is done with only local anesthesia for the skin and scalp.
We also know that braindead people don’t suddenly start creating brain waves even if the body gets mechanical resparation and pulse. It’s quite literally “off”. So, I guess the creation of a dead brain won’t feel anything or start thinking about anything by itself.
The question is what inputs they give these artificial brains. It’ll think that, and that will be it’s “sensory” input. Whether that can cause some emergent brain waves that could be interpreted as emotion or other stuff is impossible to say. I doubt it.


I have kids myself, but I don’t feel ashamed of letting them know that I don’t always have the answers or that sometimes I like to jump the trampoline for fun.
Adults who seem like they know everything and act responsible all the time actually seem “juvenile” in my opinion.
They don’t really get it, you know? Like they got to that level of life by following expectations and then stopped developing past that and just keep trotting along. Some people get stuck there while others “soften up” when they get grandchildren and less responsibility or whatever.
People mature in different paces, but the whole “being grown up” is definitely just an optional phase.


Yes sure. I am speaking in general. Half the time I read that community, I only realize where I am when I see the mods calling other people out in the comments. It happens in every single thread, which is why I think they ought to make it more visible in every single post. It’s a great community and I do read it occasionally, so I don’t want to block it, just because I’m not allowed to comment myself.
Remember to say toodle-oo like an old lady while waving.
