you can see this with pot edibles, if you take one on an empty stomach it takes forever to kick in and sometimes doesn’t work very well, but if you eat the same one after a large fatty meal it will kick in fast and strong

adding paper to a compost pile will give different results than keeping a book stored in the proper conditions

even if we archive everything, hundreds of years from now all of “the worlds information” could very well be unusable and unreadable for a variety of factors(no one remembers how to deal with the file formats, EMP, bit rot). books however will continue to work just fine as they have for thousands of years

i used to argue with the other middle schoolers about how dark forces was superior to doom because you could look up and down. it really did seem pretty amazing in 1995

dos gaming was great. you had to work to get games running but then you were rewarded with something like mech warrior 2 or privateer which couldn’t really be experienced on any other platform

worlds greatest minds working together to ensure humans can get taco bell delivered with 5 9s availability and monetized accordingly

at least the burnout and neglect of family was for a good cause

what if people are actually better off not having 24/7 internet access in their pocket and all the new expectations that go along with it? i’d definitely like to return to that world given the chance

> As recently as 1999, it was commonly stated that babies could not feel pain until they were a year old,

how would it even be possible to reach that conclusion?

people didn’t even think animals felt pain until the 1980s

those are pretty common on roads in rural areas

relatable descriptions of people and things are now problematic

chip shortage is due to smic sanctions, no one seems to want to talk about this

what is a “dynamic” society?

why is that better than a society where people have deep roots in their local community that span across multiple generations?

>Are chilren in the UK given the choice for themselves?

why should they be? if the scientists determined that the vaccine is of marginal benefit to them compared to the risks, then they don’t need it. the fact that they want it because the tv told them it’s the right thing to do is irrelevant.

i guess “following the science” only applies when the science agrees with the predetermined status quo

i don’t think you can conclusively say there wasn’t something fishy about the 2020 election. the 2016 election was considered “stolen” or “hacked” by the losing party that year too

it doesn’t even have to be a conspiracy. maybe our leaders are just really dumb and making dumb decisions, is that really so implausible?

many of them are also older and in higher risk groups, could that factor into their decisions?

fortunately we have this thing called an “immune system”

“misinformation”

examples?

smoke breaks are like 75% of a salarimans working day, what are they supposed to do with that time now

can we trade?

the shortages are not just in cutting edge chips, it’s ics in general. even mundane things like smart lamps are sold out

no mention of the SMIC sanctions?
