“Religion is an opiate of the masses.”
I’m not marxist. But this quotes hits me real hard when i think about how people arounds me acted like.

@akeno

Nice, proof that the scientists arent bias and when they notice a mistake in their work they will retract it.

@akeno

::Herp derp::

You: We offer 1 million award for proof of covid

::thousands of doctors offer undeniable proof of covid::

You: Not like that, you have to prove it in a way that conspiracy theory know nothings that would never admit they are wrong wind up admitting they are wrong... silly doctors!

@freemo just don’t offfer them a snacks before 6pm or they will be triggered af.
Jk. It’s just a bit rude since they could only eats between 6pm (that’s the average time of “adzan maghrib”. Basically a call of prayer).
To 4am (that’s the average time of “adzan subh”)
And don’t forget to come to their house at “eid” that’s the day when they cook a lot of delicious food lol.

@freemo it's nice to see someone actually put humanity more than his own community by greeting each other holyday.
Way to go sir.

@freemo
one thing you can do is not eat openly in front of fasting people :ablobcatwink:

@freemo
1) Ramadan is a month in islamic calender. Muslims fast all the 30 days of the month from sunrise to sunset (nothing should go down the throat not even your own saliva)

2) Normally better to wish for the end of the ramadan (Eid) that's a big holiday and festival for muslims.

FYI I know its not easy to keep track of other cultures holidays. So just a remind in 2 days Ramadan is coming up. So if you have any Islamic friends dont forget to wish them a wonderful Ramadan (this is a rather important holiday for them) on Tuesday.

If I recall correctly Ramadan is one of the holidays they fast on, so it might be especially appreciated if offer them a nice home baked snack or meal in the day leading up to it as a nice gesture (I dont think this is a typical "gift" for the holiday I dont really know, but just seems like a thoughtful way to go).

If any Muslim friends would like to help steer me to good ideas on this one feel free to leave your thoughts int he comments.

@freemo Yes, and in fact that happens on yet another layer below CapTP, the "netlayer" component github.com/ocapn/ocapn

More or less, CapTP provides a secure distributed object system, where no more access than which has been intentionally handed out is possible. Sitting on top of a "netlayer" component, the abstractions for a secure networked communication system are given.

All in all, you can think of CapTP as a new abstraction layer win, akin to how TLS and TCP save devs time.

This would actually make a great story idea... basically the self-fulfilling prophecy time travel trope combined with the no matter what you do you cant change history time travel trope.

Hitler in the story would start out as a "good guy", kind, compassionate, loves people of all races, just wants to pain. But time and time again time travelers keep going back trying to kill him, always targeting him before he has body guards or power. Hitler doesn't know their time travelers of course. But every murder attempt inevitably fails (because it cant change history) and slowly changes Hitler into an evil person who hates humanity as an emotional response to each attempt on his life. So that the very act of time travelers trying to kill him is eventually what creates the monster Hitler turned out to be after all.

I fear though it might piss off way too many people, especially if it paints Hitler as a good guy in his youth as any representation of him as anything other than evil might be seen as being a pro-Hitler thing (even though I wouldn't see it that way since the novel would still portray him as evil int he end).

I'm kinda surprised my biggest payoff this month has been XRP in terms of percentages... I only have 5% of my crypto invested in it yet its increased by 50% and thus out of all miy gains got me more gains (in dollars) than ethereum . By comparison i have 28% of my crypto in ethereum (not counting tokens) and it raised by only 1.7% in that same time

@freemo @akeno @vandys @madmike

Yea, I troll, I almost always take ad hominim bait and mirror, then draw back to topic. Seems it allows me to separate the trolls from those that can provide substance to a discussion, albeit a bit like walking into a bar and shouting "none a ya bastards know shit, prove me wrong." Because, I also like to seperate out the ones that can handle a comic perspective and laugh from the ones that get all batshit Karen... for my own demented enjoyment, because IMHO, the world lost perspective at the same time it lost it's understanding of Walt Kowalski and Archie Bunker, and the social significance of retaining all viewpoints. Just correlation, but enough to make me often mix the two around for fun on Fedi.
@freemo

that's cool, I don't know why, but it remined me of this (non-sequiter, just cool) thing:

"The result is a motorcycle that looks more like an organic exoskeleton than a machine. That was a very deliberate design goal for APWorks, which programmed the algorithm to use bionic structures and natural growth processes and patterns as the basis for developing a strong but lightweight structure"

https://www.greencarcongress.com/2016/05/20160522-airbus.html

Due to bandwidth limitations, I offer only an example of "organic" skeletons grown using AI to fill in minimal material for maximum structural strength... AI, being "organic" in fabrication with artificial materials is fucking cool. (even with more basics too, like out of aluminum).

It wasn't long ago, it seems, but in the 1990s I watched a guy do a talk on OLED tech and we all just went "cool, some day we can hang our TV on the wall like a picture" and went home to tell my friends who didn't believe me.

When you think of the shit we will have in 20 years, if you are smart, you instantly know, it's going to be totally different, and better in a way you haven't even thought of yet.

So apparently Prince Phillip died.. whats this the second time for him, or third?
