I’m guessing they’re from wire-controlled drones.

A wise friend once said, “the best boobs are the ones you can touch.”

I wouldn’t consider those examples to meet the definition of ‘critical thinking,’ from what I understand it to be. In fact, they’re kind of the exact opposite.

I would interpret those examples as just being “critical” or biased towards something.

I don’t play chess, like maybe once every few years at most, so I know nothing about the patterns. But I noticed that pros usually made moves that put their opponent in an equal or worse predicament than their own.

A friend who regularly played speed chess played against me, without time limit of course because that would’ve been a stomp. I used the simple principle I figured out above and was winning for most of the game.

I basically depth-first searched every single move (the game lasted nearly three hours though).

I only lost at the end because I got tired and stopped doing the exhausting search in my mind.

Well, coincidentally, the very first Technology Connections video I watched was an hour-long one about dishwashers (yes, lol). And it was actually shared to me through Discord.

The dishwasher is actually better than what most people think, but a lot of them don’t know that they’re using it wrong.

They should program a timer set to the tune of a nice, friendly song that will gently remind the driver to exit the circle in time.

Been to Louisiana. Can confirm.

I don’t think he wasn’t praising himself there. I interpreted it as calling himself foolish.

You can call that a majority, but it’s far from a vast majority. That’s just a little more than half, and about on par with the general population, actually.

I disagree. Apple might not be perfect, but it is better than Google when it comes to ads and tracking. I know my data is encrypted, both on the device and in my cloud. And in the App Store, it tells me exactly what data is being collected by the apps I choose to install.

At least the names of all the bases named after Confederates were changed a few years ago. West Point also renamed things that were named after Lee (which only existed because for the sake of Reconciliation after the war).

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Major General Smedley Butler seemed like a fairly respectable guy. He was like the worst choice the Wall Street plotters could’ve picked. The man had already been denouncing capitalism and Wall Street, so of course he testified to Congress when rich people tried to get him to overthrow democracy.

A neat thing about living in Japan is that there are announcements and signs everywhere telling you to please keep your phone silent and to turn down the volume on your headphones so that noise doesn’t leak out either. ‘Silent mode’ is literally called ‘manner mode.’

That is unfortunate. I also installed Linux Mint last year, and although I’ve had weird little issues here and there, none of them were major, and overall I was able to use it exclusively for the last seven months. One issue I encountered when installing was actually because of Window’s fault (during the drive partitioning portion), since I do dual-booting.

Hand sanitizer works great too!

I’ve heard stuff like that too. To be fair, if the United States were to resolutely defend Taiwan, China might not touch it, though there would still be a possibility, but at the least the US and Taiwan would likely win that war since they just need to keep Taiwan independent, not invade China.

How dare you use logic on my computer logic-related shower thought.

But yeah, I get what you mean. I had that thought at some point after posting. This is why I should probably just keep it in this silly thread and not write any philosophy essays soon.

You’re… you’re right.

It’s like, all part of some yin-yang thing.
