I think it's kind of hilarious some of the insanely close conclusions some ancient philosophers got to being correct.

For example, Xenophanes observed that there were fossils of fish and shells, and correctly concluded that Greece was at one point underwater. He also had a bunch of insane claims on top of that, but the underwater part was correct.

His teacher, Anaximander actually said humans came from fish, which is hilariously close to correct despite the incorrect reasoning.

Empedocles is probably the most interesting. He concluded that humans and animals originated from these disembodied organs, which found each other and would form wholes. The catch was that many weird forms came about, like people with heads in the center of their bodies, and any other creation you can think of from just slapping animal organs together. He asserted that the forms which were unfit for life died out, leaving only the ones which worked to continue living. Empedocles almost describes a concept adjacent to multicellular organisms forming from single-celled symbiotic relationships (obviously Empedocles didn't know about bacteria or cell theory), and then goes on to pretty accurately describe the mechanisms of natural selection.

New fear unlocked, great

Why is India so small on the map? I am confused by the size choices here. Is it based on neighboring nations?

Edit: ya know, I really should'a read the text.

Second, we're talking about ethnicity here, not religion. Jews are also an ethnic group. Y-DNA is very relevant.

Ethnicity is not what was being talked about just now; You were talking about DNA lineage.

Ethnicity deals with cultural self-identity, which includes religion and does not deal at all with DNA relation.

My understanding, though, is that Jewish culture actually has a long history of genealogy via family tree mapping long before DNA testing was available. That does have some ethnic connection as a cultural tradition.

Don't forget it's also inherently misogynistic and attacks cis women all the time anyways.

Yeah, it's called a Widlerizer.

For those that don't know and because TropicalDingdong was a ding-dong and didn't cite their quote, this is a quote from a letter written by Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr during his time in jail after a protest.

Edit: He was a Reverend and a doctor, so I got mixed up getting his titles right.

I think this is coming from a "plugins enshittify projects" mentality where the assumptions are:

• code bases should be as succinct and stable as possible.
• plugins add large amounts of unused code and obfuscate many granular aspects of program execution, increasing debug and research time.

Seems that the author views that the above devs chose to use plugins instead of writing their own code and shot themselves in the foot by doing so. The final portion seems to suggest that the person pushing all these changes then bobs out before any of the problems caused by these changes actually get solved.

Nah, their brains are parallelized and treat each argument as a seperate process. Since information is stored as private for each in process, they can't access certain talking points for certain arguments. If you bring up information that the current argument isn't privileged to access, they have to switch to an argument that does have access, at which point they can't access the previous argument's information.

If they didn't have this design, rogue processes might be able to cause sensitive information to be accessed by unprivileged users (normie users don't have the privilege to see data of white power users), or worse, you could get a pointer loop in their memory addresses which could lead to a system lock-up. /j

The process of collective disarming is the path towards growing past war. And that first step is the collective banning of manufacturing such weapons.

Yep. Big bird's description is the increase of exploitation on the workers. Wage theft is denying wages you are due. Very similar in how they effect you and how they feel, definitionally different.
