My girl craves bananas and will circle the table when my son and I are having breakfast, demanding her share. She also likes pita chips.

My old boy (RIP) used to love avocado and seaweed snacks.

Lying and pretending to know something who's actually a complete stranger to them

When the stranger is a drunk woman in distress clearly trying to get away from a predator.

Happy 20th birthday, 4chan. You've definitely...had an effect. by CodingAndCoffee in c/[email protected]

I'm probably skipping some steps, but lowtax banning hentai drove the weebs to 4chan, and 8chan. 8chan was the home for all the "Q" posts that started Qanon which riled up the Republican base and led to the Jan 6 insurrection

You visited the worst parts. No wonder.

Try Yosemite, Oakhurst, Morro Bay, or Monterey.

What are some physics-based arguments against hard determinism? (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I don't believe free will is real. I'm not a deep physics person (and relatively bad at math), but with my undergrad understanding of chemistry, classical mechanics, and electromagnetism, it seems most rational that we are creatures entirely controlled by our environments and what we ingest and inhale.

I'm not deeply familiar with chaos theory, but at a high level understand it to be that there's just too many variables for us to model, with current technology, today. To me that screams "god of the gaps" fallacy and implies that eventually we WILL have sufficiently powerful systems to accurately model at that scale...and there goes chaos theory.

So I'm asking you guys, fellow Lemmings, what are some arguments to causality / hard determinism, that are rooted entirely in physics and mechanics, that would give any credit to the idea that free will is real?

Please leave philosophical and religious arguments at the door.

Holy shit, thank you!

Reddit was a slog too at first by CodingAndCoffee in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

My wife is also a scab sticking to reddit. Unfortunately, a good reason for doing so is that a lot of the niche woman-oriented subs she's on don't exist in the fediverse yet.

A good chunk of this was borrowed from another thread by @[email protected] at https://sh.itjust.works/post/70273 but I've also added:

clickable comment headers
big friendly up/down vote buttons for posts
rearranged comment up/down vote buttons and More button to shift things to be more visually pleasing (to me anyway)

Instance getting too centralized? by CodingAndCoffee in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

You're not wrong. There needs to be slightly better/more informative marketing that your communities are accessible from anywhere, and locale of the server doesn't matter.

People are joining lemmy.world before they learn/understand they can access communities from any federated node (which is nearly everything except beehaw)

similar to the kbin userscript I made this colorizes posts and comments by origin. kbin users/posts are dark blue, Beehaw (and any other restrictive moderation sites in the future) are red, local is left unchanged.

YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content (lemmy.world)

Because they don't get listed by browse.feddit.de you'll want to browse https://kbin.social/magazines to browse "magazines", which is what they call communities

e.g. [email protected]

or directly, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration

Why YSK: Federation literally just synched up thanks to the tireless efforts by @[email protected] over the past few days.

I just hopped on today and the site is very unusable right now by CodingAndCoffee in c/[email protected]
