To prove his point, he asks us to imagine a 20 mile high mountain in between the sun and the moon... How would the sun go through the mountain to light up the moon?
This is a real person

Thinks the understanding of sun/moon is fake because how could the sun light up the moon at night? We can't see the sun, so how is it lighting up the moon?

I would think these flat-earthers are performance artists if they hadn't been doing this for so long. How can any adult be this stupid?

I only guessed 10x, not 20x! Although I was deliberately lowballing it to avoid arguments about my estimate

heh... Going to see this a lot more going forward I think. A post I made on a YT video the other day about this very topic. Video was about all the circular investment and CEOs saying there's unprecedented demand so they need the investments

I know I drone on about this all the time, but I hate how awful UI design is now. Why does everything have to be so fucking huge? Why is information density considered a sin? Why turn my desktop experience into the compromised mobile one? Mobile interfaces are COMPROMISES, you idiots

I watched a really depressing video that dug into this legally and the conclusion was basically "don't count on it"

Maybe it was always naive to hope the military would refuse unlawful orders. Military isn't really built like that, even though they pay some lip service to it. I mean, I don't really know, but that's what it seems like and that's what history tells us. Especially when they have their own courts

tl:dw since I watched it yesterday...
Artists were hired to accentuate features that were apparently desirable based on the species of livestock. Big briskets etc. For sheep, lots of wool, pigs super fatty etc.

Trump was caught on a hot mic arranging a meeting between a foreign head of state and Eric Trump, who runs the Republican's family business.

Isn’t this exactly the sort of thing GOP members of Congress used to care about? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

If I'm every world leader listening to this, I'm thinking... "I wonder what kind of trade deal I could get if I said I might recommend him" haha

That said, the absolutely essential changes are becoming more numerous... I have one that lets me set a bunch of stuff, but the only thing I do is make it so there's more than fucking 3 videos per row...
And I have sponsorblock
And restore youtube dislikes

I just make small but necessary changes that resolve problems that completely ruin the experience... The other stuff I leave alone since I spent some time with one of those extensions (might have been redux) making it perfect, then every update broke it for a day or five... Got annoyed

One thing Blizzard's always been awesome at is pre-rendered cinematics. I remember when the D3 expansion Reaper of Souls came out this cinematic was so hype.

Oh god, YouTube redesigned their player so everything is huge and in that awful rounded flat style... Looks like an old video sharing platform like megaupload/megavideo or something

Jesus Christ... Microsoft using it's employee "productivity"-tracking software to track employee co-pilot use so they can rank departments against each other. Better make sure you're using copilot enough! @catovitch.bsky.social

Britain’s domestic intelligence agency MI5 on Monday issued new guidance warning members of parliament, local councillors, and political staff that state-backed actors from Russia, China, and Iran are attempting to infiltrate and influence the UK’s democratic institutions.

This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for the members of the Canadian Armed Forces serving abroad.

While most Canadians gather with loved ones, they stand on guard — sacrificing time with their families to protect ours. Thank you for your service and dedication.

There are probably dozens of slide-decks full of corporate bullshit justifying this as part of a larger corporate identity reimagining project.

Keep in mind there are probably entire marketing departments being paid millions a year to come up with this stuff.
