The people in the trolley problem aren’t necessarily tied to the track. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I use Wero for basically everything and don’t have any problems with it. Maybe I don’t buy from companies that are dodgy enough? 🤔

Possibly because in the past there was a notion that doctors would lie to their patients “for their own good”, and that the doctor’s decision about your care was something you had to just accept.

The notion that patients could advocate for their own care arose during the boomers’ lifetime.

Didn’t the Ultima series start in the 1980s? My friends and I spent ages on Ultima III!

As a general rule, it’s always too close to an election to prevent Republicans from disenfranchising voters, but never too late to prevent Democrats from making voting more accessible.

We can’t take care of these little things. These scams you got going on…

Amazing that the health and education of the people are simultaneously little things, scams, and unaffordable by the federal government.

I seem to recall a warning that bloodthirsty people would get reincarnated as tigers. I mean, I don’t want to hurt anyone, but tigers are awesome. 🤔

The Kurtzgesagt team made a video based on this. I think it’s called the egg?

You can still wiggle your butt and dance, sister!

Oh wait. That’s honey bees. Do bumblebees do anything fun?

In fact, they boost their own alleged legitimacy by occasionally ruling against the regime.

That’s all true… although I’m a shitty vegan who eats a Fuck ton of soy. 😅

That is totally fair. Normalizing political assassinations and kidnappings will probably have a big impact in the future also, although I’m not sure what that will be exactly.

I think the death count for the second Iraq war is higher, not to mention being responsible for creating ISIS.

Just so you’re aware, your posts in this thread come across as very belligerent to me. I’m trying to ignore the tone that I perceive, and to clarify.

My understanding had been that the brain worked differently based on how it was getting text. I did a bit of DuckDuckGo and it turns out that further research shows that these differences are not that big:

AI wouldn’t be so bad if the planet wasn’t being turned into computronium.

Your brain works differently listening to audiobooks than reading. So it’s not necessarily a substitute, in that you may not get the same out of the text.

Having said that, my wife is a bit ADHD and struggles to read books, but is addicted to audiobooks. 😅

My kids both prefer paper books to e-readers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Was that in 2017 or 2025? There’s been so much terribleness that it’s hard to sort out…

Most people are really interesting if you get to know them.

I definitely don’t understand most people, but that doesn’t mean I dislike them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Uru isn’t the strongest on its own, but it takes well to enchantments.
