Max Planck says no…

I was high for 20 years almost 24/7. I made some life changes and these days I get high maybe around 10 times a year. And those times that I do, its special and not just ordinary. Life is so much better when my brain can operate at a higher capacity. Not that I couldn’t cope while high - I was fine, but definitely not optimal, especially with short term memory. I guess if my job was not that demanding of mental clarity it would be a different situation.

Waking up from hearing a loud noise could be that you hallucinated the noise. Check out exploding head syndrome (coolest name ever)

I’ve seen some front ends for Lemmy total it.

I bet the sheep are spherical.

Worst website design Ive ever seen.

That’s disgusting

Isn’t this what the Trump crowd tried to do when he lost the last election? Didn’t go so well.

You are nieve. Some sex workers enjoy their jobs.

Yup the same I had too

Being the devils advocate here but the quality of my teachers during school was worse than GPT4. They were more biased, made more errors, were more unfair, pushed more extremist views…

I think it could be as simple as party x claims they will do thing a, b, c and then after their term in power you assess if they achieved those things. The parties who make the claims will need to back up those claims with real milestones that would become performance indicators of partial or full success. The milestones must be easy to assess and leave no room for interpretation. Just like in a legal contract, if you make the wording too vague and hard to interpret, then your contract won’t be enforceable in court.

See my response above that takes this into consideration.

I guess the pandering people pleasing approaches would overly benefit from this design but it could be more realistic if you showed a percentage next to the answer of the likelihood that the party will follow through with the statement based on their previous claims and achievements. This would make the parties less willing to make false claims or go back on their promises once in power because it would reflect badly in the next election.

Yes. You should be presented with a set of multiple choice questions where the answers are each of the parties stances on the matter and at the end your vote should be divided among the parties based on how you answered the questions.

You can’t have a space with dimensions if it doesn’t exist in spacetime, so the commonplace understanding of nothingness is a space within spacetime that has nothing that we can interact with that’s interesting to us. People will say that there is nothing in the desert, but there is lots of stuff there. People will say there is nothing in a room, but there is still air. People will say there is nothing in space but there are still diffuse atoms, gravity, radiation and virtual particles. If your definition of nothingness is that there is a space with dimensions and time that has absolutely nothing in, then yes that does not exist.

Exactly. There is so much cope out there.

True, I didn’t actually answer the question. I suppose it’s because yes, I am a tech person. I am a senior systems engineer and software developer with a career of over 20 years. I have run my own tech company for 10 of those years, and recently went back to work in a corporate setting as lead developer for a contact center software company.

It depends on the community, but in general people on Lemmy love FOSS. The linux community is very helpful and friendly (although headstrong). Moderation depends on your instance (.ml is quite politically motivated). Privacy on the platform is non existent due to how the software works, but in general, people here do care about privacy related topics.
