  • If contemporary professional comedians were magically taken to the Paleolichic, they'd probably work much earlier in the day. Back then, there were no Late Night Shows or well-lit comedy clubs.

  • r/popular can be set to a country. For the US, it’s pretty similar to r/all for any other country, it’s distinct and boosts local subreddits and language.

  • You have the ability to break anything. Your distro, maintainers, developers also like to break things from time to time.

    Don’t blame yourself for others breaking things.

  • Yes, humanity needs a spiritual transformation of thought.

    Marxists are materialists necessarily because it stems from a rejection of capitalism and private ownership. The vision of a classless communist society is extremely vague and put off to the far future.

    Leftists often stay trapped in criticism, deconstruction, contrarianism. Anti- capitalism becomes an end unto itself. If the revolution is successful, revolution itself becomes a fetish.

  • I was wondering, if you were referring to Soulism. I first encountered it, when a Soulist instance was announced.

    What you’re saying jibes well with themes I know from psychology, therapy, and occultism.

    Contrary to materialist Marxist victim thinking, soulism seems to empower the individual to change.

  • Amtssitz des Bundespräsidenten - Sanierung von Schloss Bellevue kostet 600 Millionen und dauert acht Jahre

    Jump

  • Der Artikel erwähnt leider nicht wofür das Geld ausgegeben wird. Da scheint mir doch ein sehr hoher Betrag zu sein.

    Mehr Details liefert das Bundespräsidialamt.

    • Sanierung Schloss Bellevue: 146 Mio. Euro

    • Sanierung Verwaltungsgebäude: 120 Mio. Euro
    • Neubau Hauptwache und liegenschaftsweite Technikzentrale: 173 Mio. Euro
    • Außenanlagen und Infrastruktur (Sicherheitsanlagen, Wege, Geothermie, denkmalgeschützte Parkanlage, Baulogistik): 162 Mio. Euro

    Das kostet ungefähr so viel wie das Berliner Stadtschloss. Nicht gerade günstig.

  • Totally. Especially today people hole up in their tiny bubbles and echo chambers. Any challenges to their worldview and beliefs are rejected as woke, cultural Marxist, far left, fascist, racist, bigotry, etc. Being able to endure and process the emotions that come up, when you’re challenged is a skill people across the political spectrum have less and less. Emotions are endlessly validated regardless of facts, to the detriment of society and everyone’s wellbeing at large. The celebration of victimhood is toxic for everyone and keep them disempowered. It’s not just the left. The right has its whole „white genocide“ myth, and endless conspiracy theories about powerful evil elites.

    It’s extremely prevalent here on Lemmy/Piefed as well. Actual discussion between opposing viewpoints is rare, and usually cut short by mods.

    People should just talk to and more importantly listen to each other.

  • Yours is the most challenging and interesting reply to this post. Of course it‘s downvoted by the intellectual nepotism babies.

    Could you elaborate a bit or share links for some reading?

  • There are also many definitions of god, and Dawkins engages with all of them. Dawkins is much more strongly opposed do theism, than deism for example. He engages with philosophical ideas about god.

    Dawkins argues that we don’t need god to explain the universe, life, or anything else. He further goes on to argue that religious belief in god trains people to be irrational fanatics, which damages society, progress, science. In the end Dawkins says, there’s no proof for the existence of god, and that we would all be better off without religion. However IIRC Dawkins recognizes that religious belief can have positive psychological effects.

    The new atheists have become their own subculture with its own values. The online new atheist scene also attracts people who love to argue, provoke, and pick fights. Contrarians and skeptics are not the same, but can overlap.

    There‘s also a pipeline that goes like this: new atheism > anti religion > anti islam > white nationalism

    The issue here is that the left has abandoned its opposition to religion, especially regarding Islam, in the name of anti-racism and intersectional identity politics. So these people are rejected by the left and driven to the right.

  • Humans 40,000 y ago developed a system of conventional signs

  • Interesting research for sure. They do a lot of statistical analysis on simple markings of objects found in Europe. They somewhat resemble the predecessors of cuneiform (Sumerian) writing systems. So it’s not letters or hieroglyphics, but something more simple like numbers, movements, or a memory aid of some kind. It would be interesting to see a comparison to old Asian, African, and Amerindian cultures.

    Our results illustrate that the statistical properties of sign sequences from the Swabian Aurignacian are very similar to those of the Uruk V protocuneiform period (roughly 3500 to 3350 BC). For the later protocuneiform periods of Uruk IV (roughly 3350 to 3200 BC) and Uruk III (roughly 3200 to 3000 BC), however, we already find a significant divergence toward higher information encoding potential.

  • The qualification is social proof, that you’re from at least middle class background. Meaning you have a little manners and know social codes.

  • There are many nice and FOSS GUIs for the tasks ffmpeg is usually used for.

    Handbrake is a great example for macOS, windows, Linux.

    For more advanced video compression Shutter Encoder is fantastic.

    Good old AVIDemux has a few other cool features as well, like cutting without reencoding.

    There are also a bunch of straight up ffmpeg front ends as well.

    Why do people use those shitty websites?

    They show up as a fast and easy option without having to research, download, install, and learn to use a more complicated application.

    The people who believe "progressiveness is just a fad that one grows out of" are the same people that grew up getting brainwashed into regressive politics. The belief is only true for them.

    Jump

  • Oh no, someone has a nuanced take! Downvotes incoming.

    The issue here is the catch-all terms being used. „Progressive“ is a bit of a mushy term in the first place.

    Young people tend to be more idealistic and radical, regardless of the specific political ideology. The young know little, have little experience, and don’t own a lot. That tends to change with age.

    Real life experience changes this over time. You notice when ideology and reality don’t align. You notice how implementing an ideology disadvantages you compared to others in some contexts. The cost can become quite high, if you’re deeply ideologically invested.
