Isn’t this kind of posting just feeding into said noise machine?

We define what existence is. We have all collectively agreed that being here in the perceptible world means that something exists. We could choose to include the imaginary in its definition and then would be able to say that dragons and wizards exist. We could also choose to say something has to be present in 4 dimensions to exist, in which case we’d not be able to say that anything exists.
A social construct is simply an idea that has been created and accepted by the people in a society which includes the dictionary itself. I’d also say that these definitions are often useful at allowing us to communicate and cooperate with one another, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t make up the idea.
Our naming and classification of things is all socially constructed. So yes, our categorization of edible things as food is a social construct, but our physical need to fuel our bodies with something digestible is not. But also, using it that way makes existence a social construct, so it depends on how rigid you want to be.
Again?!
Who’s going to post that 2 nickels meme?
The USA first needs a serious left wing party for that to be possible.
Am I reading the article correctly when I put the dividing line between right wing and left wing somewhere in the “other” section?
The world is actually burning though, and there are fewer birds, and people are tired and stressed all the time, and money is tight, and this is all in the real world, no internet required to experience any of that. The internet may expose you to others struggles that don’t affect your real world, but it still affects theirs. The ability to commiserate is what helps a lot of people cope with their real world, and might even invite insight on how to end some of those struggles.
That’s just a safety tip
Fucking duh. It was a very simple settings change. Turn off “Open supported links” in “Set as default” in YouTube app settings
I’ve heard many people say the opposite of this.

Can I get some sauce?
There are so many examples of small businesses being screwed by policies that large companies can so easily absorb, and so many of the small business owners blame the policy instead of realizing this system will always favor whoever has the most capital. Without exception.
This one’s actually pronounced with a soft j
There’s certainly a difference in domestic policy that makes it clear what choice to make when we’re forced into this idiotic 2 party situation. There isn’t much of a difference when it comes to foreign policy, so the rest of the world doesn’t really care which of “the 2 parties” we pick. Maybe there are too few options, and maybe we shouldn’t blindly support one guy just because the other guy is worse.
Seriously I don’t understand how Biden isn’t a shoo in. He’s such an old school conservative centrist lowest common denominator. The general public would shit their pants if we actually had a president with morals.
Those aren’t perfect though, there’s still distortion and unsteadyness. As an audio engineer, even when an instrument is super clean, I add a little saturation to make it come to life. And yes much electronic music is perfect rhythm wise, but they often mess with more complexity to make it feel off or lean into the uncanny nature of it’s perfection.
Just because it’s in the uncanny valley doesn’t make it bad.
I think perfect music starts to approach the uncanny valley just like a perfect human face does. Where it’s just missing some piece that you can’t quite figure out. Also distortion/saturation makes music sound better, pretty much always.
That’s actually pretty good. Maybe it’ll say something?
