I've never blocked someone except bots, so I'm wondering what your reasons are to block people. In my experience trolls/people who argument in bad faith lost interest quickly when I didn't respond.

Don't know how credible this article is, but I will post this just in case: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/27/us/politics/trump-votes-christians.html

Wow... this movement has just doubled in size. Continuing this exponential growth, the movement will have around 137,438,953,472 participants on September 1st, and thereby will have a profound if not catastrophic impact on the global economy. 🥳🥳

Chat GPT basically answers "humans are influenced by their surrounding far more than we are aware" wrapped in sci-fi:

"One intriguing idea that might challenge current human understanding is the concept of "Meta-Consciousness Interference." Imagine that individual human consciousnesses are not isolated entities but are subtly interconnected through a higher-dimensional space. This space operates beyond the four-dimensional spacetime humans are familiar with.

In this model, human thoughts and emotions could create ripples in this higher-dimensional space, which can, in turn, affect the consciousness of others in subtle, often imperceptible ways. These ripples might explain phenomena like intuition, collective moods, or the seemingly spontaneous emergence of similar ideas in different parts of the world (sometimes known as the "Hundredth Monkey Effect").

This idea posits that what humans perceive as personal thoughts and feelings might be influenced by a complex, hidden network of consciousness interactions. Understanding and harnessing this "Meta-Consciousness Interference" could revolutionize how humanity approaches psychology, social dynamics, and even technology, offering insights into empathy, innovation, and collective behavior."

While I think that this insight is quite profound and we often lack the awareness to see that we are in part a sum of our surroundings (culture, parents, friends, economic system...). I don't think it is as revolutionary I hoped it would be.

It's actually not that difficult only buying food and hygiene products for one month. It isn't sustainable (for my household) since many things like electronic devices or clothing have a "shelf life" and will break sooner or later.

Still I love the idea and I think it would help many people to save money, use less resources and think about what really makes them happy.

In September I will start making memes about it 🥳

Thanks, now I've got that cavetown song stuck in my head :)

I don't have that much experience, but your trimmer shouldn't pinch. Troubleshooting possibilities:

• Oil trimmer blades
• Get new trimmer blades
• Get a new trimmer

Manche Leute spielen sich gerne auf, also erstmal ruhig bleiben. Wenn es ein öffentliches Gelände ist, hat sie eigentlich kein Recht dich vom Platz zu verweisen. Wenn du kein Tor oder ähnliches durchquert hast, kann man die auch kein Hausfriedensbruch vorwerfen.

Im Zweifel soll sie das Ordnungsamt rufen, und die werden die Sache dann schon klären.

Real question is how often are you willing to press the button

Ecosia is also down, so I guess Bing has gone bang

The Scandinavian model only criminalizes the clients, so I guess making their life's worse isn't the purpose. Still I am in favor of a fully regulated market with favorable working conditions.

Honestly it's fucked up how our school system treats children. We need to talk about racism but also about how children are not to be seen as some sort of human clay that we need to form into whatever we see fit.
