You mean like a Menu?
I am getting what you are saying. It's not difficult to understand but I understand that for you it must seem like I don't get it.
What I am stating though is that while you assume the relationship of IQ and that feeling you are describing to be linear it is in fact not.
Like most relationships between metric and human feelings it's highly non linear and individual to everyone. I disagree that someone with k+30 IQ feels the same about someone with k IQ no matter the reference IQ k.
No I don't think that of course.
What I am saying is that the meaning of relative differences is non linear. That is 30 IQ points difference is not the same kind of difference from 70 to 100 points as from 100 to 130 nor from 150 to 180.
Why? I am not living in the us but it's a useful phrase.
I know it's a very unpopular opinion but I actually like the aesthetics of infrastructure and industry.
When I see a steel mill, an oil rig or powerplants like wind parks, hydro- or nuclear power I am reminded of the human ingenuity that went into it. How many people needed to band together to work on something bigger than their tribe. I am reminded of our awe inspiring power to shape our environment completely.
Of course with great power... You know the rest.
That was something that gets discussed now and then in politics but no. We have a lot of ads targeted to children.
It's funny how the perception of ubiquity works. I've never seen this nor anything about watchman. I just have a vague memory that it exists.
I mean as far as I know they are not doing anything inherently bad and have good intentions. So no need to feel sad.
I am just recommending to look into projects that are in dire need of funding.
Being born into riches is extreme luck.
Or did most of us choose to live on hard difficulty?
(well most of us are probably on medium difficulty, do to the fact that we can post here)
Huh, you are right I've heard that quite a lot as a child. Either my family left that out or my memory is faulty. That would not be surprising of course
Look into it. I cannot explain this well. They actually have more than enough money. In fact they are spending recklessly in other projects because of that.
Yes we should donate if that changes but right now it would be better to donate to less well funded open projects.
Was ist mit der Luftqualität in Stralsund los?
Gerade aus Langeweile auf Google Maps die Luftqualität angeschaut. Fast überall in Deutschland und Nordfrankreich gut bis sehr gut. Aber es gibt einen klaren blob um Stralsund.
Too much US election content on Lemmy?
I hope this is a good place for this. A few weeks ago I started a simple experiment: Block every community in the All feed that is about the US election in some way.
I thought this up after a thread about the Biden debate, as someone kindly (not really kindly) informed me that I should curate my own experience here. I thought about it and realized just how much election/politics stuff there is on the front page. It was quite hard blocking communities I like, especially 196 on blahaj.
Now the quality of my feed did go up in some ways but it's very slow. I also realized that I am feeling a lot less rage/anger than before when scrolling lemmy. I didn't even realize how much the constant political stuff from another continent affected me...
What is your opinion on this? Is Lemmy really filled with too much US political rage bait? Should I continue with my zero tolerance policy?
It would also interest me to hear an American perspective. Is there more or less politics here, on other platforms or real life. How does rage/hate affect you when scrolling through Lemmy and does it take a toll?
