Well, yeah. But even so, it’s still better than the current definition. Many “planets” have not, in fact, cleared their orbit.

The current classification is a mess.

IMO, it should be a planet iff it can hold an atmosphere. I.e., it doesn’t actually have to have an atmosphere, but if it had any, it should have enough surface gravity to hold that one.

If you define it that way, Pluto is just barely a planet.

i’m gonna counter that with

hey ^^ time to listen to some brony music :) i totally forgot that exists 😂👍

It’s not soup if they discard the water after cooking, leaving only the vegetables.

The alternative, btw, would be to fry everything in butter or some plant oil, i believe. That’s what they’re opposing.

oh come on. this is the most harmless behavior of the year. people make a big story out of anything.

instead of focusing on actual problems, such as Musk tried to cut social spending, people talk about this.

Humans have 4 lifes, if you think about it, each lasting for roughly 20 years.

It’s this way because dogs and cats (and many other animals!) have an approximate lifespan of 20 years. Humans have 80 years, approximately 4x as much.

It is sothat we can feel the consequences of our own actions in our next life.

thank you, i have been saying the same thing :D

Only when the machine stops can we finally take it apart and fix all its problems

That is what meditation is. Deliberately pausing for a while, to fix your internal problems.

To tell another story, workers are like kindle of the great furnace of the industrial-capitalist complex, and to stay at home is to take away the fuel from the machine.

Ukraine war is the third proxy war IMO, after Vietnam and the Middle East. It was never about Ukraine, the Western world does not give a flying fuck about Ukraine specifically. It’s just a power play like in the years of the cold war. Just that this time, Russia started it, instead of the US, so everybody is losing their minds over it.

It’s especially interesting as a high birthrate causes a crisis for the future economy when AI replaces a lot of workers and company’s will have to finance a large number of unemployed people.

It is university’s jobs to collect and disseminate knowledge.

As such, it would make sense for university to host its own journal for scientific research. After all, that is “disseminating knowledge” as well. Universities could do it for the greater good, instead of for profit, at least in sane countries where Universities actually operate for public benefit, not for profit.

Such a journal would have no publishing fees and no access fees. It would undermine the monopoly that Wiley & others have built.

I don’t think you can explain to normal people how these tech bros think.

living with their family and hoping that food stays cheap, i guess

I would be surprised if there was not

I think the point is more to filter out people quickly who you couldn’t be in a sustainable relationship with anyways.

I don’t mind it as much as i used to anymore. But ten years ago, i consistently associated “small-talk” people with people who were superficial and wouldn’t comprehend important issues should they ever come up anyways.

Also i’m not sure how right i was about that.
