This kind of pseudo-science is very popular. People really thinking there’s substantial scientific evidence that “social media” is “bad”. Literally making this false belief into a law.

The upvotes are a sad statement on the scientific literacy of Lemmy.

This is straight up quack science. The “math” is nonsense based on vague statements without a testable hypothesis in sight.

Rule 1: The universe is a single, continuous thread of attention.

Ok whatever. Cool story. The rest of the rules are similar.

I think I know which one.

Why do the number of pages matter?

Because that’s the only accomplishment.

Please publish in a peer-review context so you can get some recognition/feedback/evaluation of your research.

This stuff is too groundbreaking for regular physicists to understand! \s

This 1000%. If you’re at home and have time, take a seat. There will be less pee spray. You’ll pee better in a sitting position. You’ll get a little break to check your phone, etc.

I saw this explained by some ex-convicts. It changed my peeing life.

It’s happening! Dystopia!

Yeah it’s been at least like 400 years.

My dad stole cable. Just continuing the family tradition.

It’s pretty amazing how qbittorent is such a nice app, while something like youtube is constantly shoving ads up your butt.

If we’re talking about music, go see the band and buy a shirt. That will help them like 1000000x more than paying for netflix, spotify, etc.

Same way people fall into liberal mindset - endless, uncontested propaganda from schools, media, etc. You hear chunks of market ideology here and there. Takes some “econ” classes. Don’t bother researching unprofitable alternatives.

For the same reason people fall into fascism.

Agreed. But I think “liberalism” is the underlying problem. Fascism is its extreme.

It’s the same question as how do people fall into the “liberal” mindset?

After seeing people worship enslavers and their state… These people literally enslaved millions of people and genocided millions more. And their state continues to invade and murder people around the planet… So how do seemingly rational people accept and support this violent, racist, system that’s literally destroying the planet? How can people be mad at Mao but not also every president? How do they feel complacent and self-righteous about voting for people who support genocide? The rationalizations are all over Lemmy, much more so than tankie rationalizations.

The point is that libs and tankies are basically the same thing, just worshiping a different empire. People want to feel like they’re part of some global movement, regardless of whether the movement is actually evil.

Let it die. The word has been exploited very publicly by some very evil people. The nazis (national socialists), ussr (soviet socialism), etc. are probably the most famous examples. But generally, when I look back on the socialism of the 1900s, it’s mostly about learning from failures. And the longer history… Should we still be clinging to concepts/vocabulary from 200+ years ago? I think the fundamentals are still relevant but the “socialist” baggage isn’t worth carrying anymore.

Instead of trying to apologize and rehabilitate “socialism”, we should learn from it and move on to concepts/vocabulary more appropriate for our times.

Good Old Grandma? RIP. She’ll never sell out.

Screenshots? I’d be curious to see the reality of what happened here…

I think we should have two options that are basically the same, then incite endless hoopla over which is better. Similar to coke vs pepsi.

Despite Employee Activism, Capital Is Still Supporting Fascism, Genocide, Planetary Destruction, etc.
