Because it sounds like English words which is “cool”

Eyy I just watched Red Ranger, extremely enjoyable for how stupid it is. I bet I’d have loved power rangers if I watched it as a kid

Since there’s been some good replies to this I shall now add my oh so very important reply to the pile.

Water isn’t actually wet, water wets things. Is a cup filled with water wet? No, the cup is dry and contains water. Are freshly washed dishes wet? Yeah, they have some water on them that hasn’t dried off yet.

“Is water wet”, “Is (breakfast) cereal a soup” and “Are hotdogs a sandwich” are some of my favorite stupid nonsense arguments to have. It’s entirely pointless but there is an actual right answer going by the definitions

I can’t judge but wow. Impressive

You cannot have a string argument, arguments and variables in JS don’t have a type. All you have in JS is objects. Actual functions, like full on function foo(){} are still objects, like you can actually store data on the things.

JavaScript doesn’t have typed parameters or variables. The function expects a string and does things in the function body which converts the object into a string. JS shares this behavior with all dynamically typed languages and it’s extremely useful in some contexts and extremely frustrating in others. It’s down to what it’s being used for. Dynamic languages make excellent scripting languages, see Python really just being a souped up shell lang

It’s not a string argument though, it’s JS. You can argue it’s expected to be a string but like the rest of JS all you can know from the signature alone is that it takes an object. Hopefully your little ducky quacks the right way!

We don’t “improve” diseases to make them deadilier and then just release them. The point of gain of function research essentially boils down to “How quickly can this disease become a serious issue and what do we expect that to look like?” with covid, thanks to gain of function research we knew it would quickly mutate and decrease in severity and we could significantly reduce harm by slowing the spread until it got to the point it’s at today.

Honestly, as a sane person yes I do like honest Nazis more than lying Nazis. But do you know what I like more than honest Nazis? People who aren’t a Nazi, I like those way the fuck more than honest Nazis which apparently puts us in the minority in this shit hole of a county

I find it unfair to blame my peers for things largly out of their control. If you are born into an abusive family you’ll only ever know if you happen to luck into the information that such behavior is unhealthy. Is it some of their faults? Certainly, I know people who are willfully stupid and refuse to learn but even knowing these people I feel pretty uncomfortable blaming them for it. I’ve talked to them, I’ve educated them on stuff they were willfully ignorant of and do you know what it generally boils down to? School has taught them that learning things is hard and a waste of their time. They’d rather waste hours trying to get an LLM to generate a script for them than sit down and figure out how to do it despite knowing I’d happily help them.

School has managed to taint “learning” in the minds of many of my peers to such an extent that it should be avoided at any cost. School has failed us, is still failing the current generation and nothing is going to be done about it because it’s working as it’s meant to. This is the intended outcome. Like genuinely the scale of the fuckup is to the extent that enjoying reading is not just rare but seen as weird. We’ve managed to take one of the best ways to educate yourself and instill dread in our children when it’s brought up. How do we expect people who’ve been taught to hate reading to just magically turn around and unfuck themselves? What’d they see a really motivating Tik Tok or some shit? I despise that platform but like seriously you older people just don’t it man. Been complaing since middle school and now people wanna turn around and blame us as if it’s some personal failing it’s fucked up dude. Our education sucks, has sucked and will continue to suck even worse until we stop pretending like this is some kind of personal failing.

The main point here (which I think is valid despite my status as a not in this group Gen Z) is that we’re still like really young? I’m 20 dude, it’s just not my or my friends fault that school failed us. The fact it failed us was by design and despite my own and others complaints it’s continued to fail the next generation and alpha is already, very clearly struggling. I really just don’t think there’s much ground to argue about how Gen Z by and large should somehow know better. The whole point of the public education system is to ensure we well educate our children, it’s simply not my or any child’s fault that school is failing to do so. Now that I’m an adult I can, and I do push for improved education but clearly people like me don’t have our priorities straight seeing who got elected…

There is also that sure but biologically people want to have kids, the extreme cost of living experienced by many prevents them from having kids

I’m sorry you incorrectly believe conservatives are a political party

At no point did I say Republicans

If we stop electing conservatives yes

Philanthropy is ineffective, that’s our current system and it’s not working

Bro that’s crazy has it crossed your mind that I don’t want to be rich? Put me in that position and I’d be paying for ads and shit to get the government to tax people like me more.

Your not gonna catch me on any of that “Oh so you think wealthy people shouldn’t exist” bs either btw. In a vacuum I think people should be able to make a lot of money from stuff they do but billionaires shouldn’t exist full stop. The amount of good you can do with merely one billion dollars is genuinely kind of inconceivable and we have multiple multi-billionaires, and not anywhere close to enough good being done by them. They simply shouldn’t exist. They’ll be just as happy being multimillionaires though I’d quite like taxes to dramatically ramp up once your in the 10 millions, even that is far above where middle class is meant to be.

Yes yes someday all the money will trickle down on me and it’ll be my turn to be rich and then I’ll get angry when my “all” my wealth is taken away from me and I’m just well off. They might as well murder me at that point I mean sheesh

If you have more money than you could spend in a lifetime yes, you should be robbed at gunpoint to feed family’s.

Actual new battery tech? I didn’t see the capacity listed/compared to a normal lith-ion of the same volume but it does say they have some issues with voltage. I’m not sure how annoying that actually is (not super good with electricity) but this looks rather promising. Might see smart watches and similar devices without any flat hard surfaces using these combined with flexable screen tech. Course like always this stuff is extremely reliant on the capacity being workable, if it’s too much less than the equivalent in lith-ion it’s just not going to get used.
