He himself probably wouldn’t go, I meant it more in a metaphorical sense that he would achieve human presence in mars. But he’s basically a con man so I don’t think he will. And if he sends anyone there it will be a disaster.
That pretty much hits the nail on the head. Most of this X does “human like™️” stuff Y is anthropomorphism par excellence. Usually some form of instinctual behaviour or even simple results of basic physiological processes are compared to stuff that humans do as a high level cognitive process (singing, talking, etc.) so that it generates clicks and draws attention.
This paints a completely wrong picture of animal (or even plant) behaviour, spreads misinformation and overshadows the actually interesting scientific discoveries.
I’ve always been curious, because I’m not fond of underwear, but I don’t know how people make it work. Wouldn’t you have to wash the trousers every single day? How else would you keep them fresh? Do you use special deodorant for the area or panty liners on the trousers?...
Ideally, rezoning and infrastructure changes would reduce the need for school buses. We don’t have the time though, so this is a win. Hopefully production can ramp up and governments can create incentives for schools to buy these instead of dead dino powered buses.
Die Firmen bieten das so billig an weil sie sich erhoffen die Daten zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt mal vermarkten zu können. Irgendeine von den großen gehört(e) auch Google soweit ich weiß.
Isn’t that the same thing? Why work as a scientist when you don’t have interesting research to do? And if you do, then getting funding should be possible. I know that it can get quite tricky and exhausting but what exactly do those people expect? The whole job of scientists is to come up with worthwhile questions and to find answers.
Well, my friend, he’s kinda poor he can’t afford some books and some streaming services, so he pirates. He pirate books, audiobook and videos and other stuff. Sometimes he buys books he likes a lot out of loyalty to the author (yeah, I don’t understand it either), he likes to read physical books, but yeah, if he hates the...
For TV shows, I am just fed up with stuff not being available in my country. If you don’t want to sell it to me, I’m not going to pay. Or all the studios having their own streaming services. I pay for Netflix and Amazon Prime. Those were supposed to be the new Blockbuster kind of thing, if you want to fragment the market so much that I’d be paying close to a hundred dollars then it’s simply not something I’d could buy anyway. So if I’m not able to afford it I can just pirate, no customer lost. Also, because it’s fucking easy and often more convenient than streaming services.

Die Klimaveränderung auf das Christentum zu schieben ist dann doch etwas weit hergeholt wenn einerseits das Buch der Christen ja eigentlich zum Schutz der Erde aufruft und die größten CO2 Produzenten nicht mal Christlich sind.
A new study at King's College, Cambridge reveals the striking benefits of letting lawns go wild. But can others be persuaded to break with a 300-year old social norm?
"We show that the perception of moral decline is pervasive, perdurable, unfounded and easily produced, and suggest that this illusion has implications for research on the misallocation of scarce resources, the underuse of social support and social influence."...
I guess that study is quite flawed when thinking about morality as a highly subjective value. Things that were highly moral 100 years ago are now seen as barbaric and a person alive 100 years ago would certainly not agree to many moral standards today. Religion comes into play as a conserving agent for morality of generations past, it still changes its interpretation of moral directives over time (at least true for christianity) but this change is far slower than the actual change in society.
So yes, from an individual standpoint, morals are possibly declining if you believe that the morals you grew up with are correct and you do not accept new concepts of morality produced by generational differences and societal change, even more so if you're religious. Therefore the feeling of moral decline is not something you can counter by saying "you're imagining it" because all moral is a, to some extent, abstract (read imagined) concept.
