Tier 1 Build-A-Bear 🧸

Oh good, you saw the no kings protests, though I don’t think there were that many people unfortunately. But I was one of them :)

What a defeatist viewpoint, but you’re certainly welcome to it

Sorry, were you fixing it?

No no no, you don’t understand, the American said to just do what you want, obviously there’s no need to think about it or apply logic if there’s something out there you can have but don’t currently own. OBVIOUSLY the American has thought ahead about the consequences for their actions and would never do anything to contribute to climate change

Notepad++ my beloved

Obviously not, or the melted Barbie noem would’ve already shot the dog XD

That’s exactly what I’m thinking lol

Been a lot of shitty comics round these parts lately lol. Just semi-slightly relatable non-jokes

I’m agreeing with them? Lmao

Flip sides to “even it out” throughout trips but then the dumb comic makes even less sense

It would be getting annoyed with iPhone and switching to Android ;)

I’ve got Plex playlists that I sometimes just put on repeat when working or going to sleep:

Harry Potter

Star Wars

Lord of the Rings

Pirates of the Caribbean

I have stress dreams sometimes and about old jobs. Like in my dream I’ll wake up and suddenly remember I’ll need to be at a job I haven’t been at in years. But, the time has still passed. Like I’ll be wondering why they scheduled me when I haven’t been there in years, and then get even more stressed cuz I can’t remember how to do anything.

Another one, I work from home. Off hours if I’m watching a movie or playing a game I’ll sometimes look over to check my work laptop :/

Mate, religious people didn’t fill the museums with dinosaurs without feathers. Scientists gather evidence… then fill the gaps. Flat earth, earth is the center, quantum theory, quasi-crystals, the list goes on and on, if anything is disingenuous it’s saying that scientists DON’T fill the gaps for the things we don’t know. THAT’S ALL WE’VE EVER DONE. Religious or not, no evidence, some evidence, or “a lot” relative to our tiny corner of space, humanity, historically, fills the gaps so we can pretend to understand things we’ve only just recently become capable of even observing

Except it’s COMPLETELY relevant, because ALL of the evidence you’re talking about is what humanity has gathered throughout our tiny blip of existence. It doesn’t matter what we should have done, if your whole point is “don’t fill the gaps with stuff we don’t know,” using scientists etc. as an example, when, historically, we’ve done nothing BUT “fill the gaps,” and incorrectly at that.

Like yes, there’s evidence to support the theories, but that does not change the HISTORICAL FACT that our theories are CONSTANTLY CHANGING based on new evidence that we now have to “slot in” and make work with the current evidence… Until we find more evidence and start all over. We’re just… way too overconfident with our “facts” when we literally don’t know shit. Trying to pretend we understand, like a monkey thinking a microwave is a flashlight

I completely agree. Unfortunately, we don’t do that. We fill the gaps. That’s what we did with the dinosaurs, with everything. Where we don’t have proof, we have theories. They are not fact. But presented as such by way too many people. I’m simply comparing the two and saying how ridiculous it is to say ANYTHING is “VERY unlikely” or “very likely” when all we really have is theory. It’s just… Incredibly ignorant with the little amount of info we have. So to go one way and fill the gaps while claiming we don’t, but go the other and guffaw because there isn’t evidence, is hilarious.

Edit: it’s just, that’s literally how we’ve ALWAYS done it, historically. Humanity was taught that earth was center of the solar system and that it was flat. Until we learned better. We thought washing hands between operating on patients was crazy, until it wasn’t. Tryna say scientists don’t fill gaps, where you livin

👍

For me it’s both

And yet we still have museums filled with dinosaurs without feathers, and there are people that preach the big bang theory as fact. Shit, we still have people thinking the earth is flat. So, some scientists might be OK saying they don’t know, but humanity as a whole will take any idea, theory or not, and run with it. So, sorry, but yeah, some scientists are filling the gaps with evil sky wizards ;)

You’re getting really hung up on this idea of “god” when that’s not what I’m really talking about lol

Maybe some people find the big bang theory far-fetched, maybe in 300 years we’ll have a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT origin story for our universe, ALSO free of any god or creation theory, but just different thanks to our understanding of it changing.

“argumentum ad ignorantiam” - I’m not claiming anything, just trying to keep your mind open by playing devil’s advocate. There’s a HUGE difference between saying “this is real because we can’t prove it isn’t,” and “there’s a small possibility this is real, but we can’t prove it.” Like, saying something DOESN’T exist simply because you HAVEN’T seen proof of it is actually, literally argumentum ad ignorantiam, and you’re getting dangerously close to that.

Like yes, the discussion started because you don’t believe in a god because you haven’t seen evidence of it. I’m just trying to point out the argumentum ad ignorantiam in that. Not trying to get you to believe in god, just to see that there’s maybe things we don’t understand, that we aren’t capable of disproving, and possibly will simply never know in our lifetime
