Well if they didn’t even notice an axis on a graph, they might be too stupid for a graph…

My point was only to say that 5% is very mich visible on a 0-100% graph.

Dunno’. I hope so, but Asmond has proven to be a bit … uh… dense. Hopefully he at least learns not to use such negative language when he supposedly doesn’t mean the entire meaning.

People are basically good, but criminally ignorant on average.

Just look at Asmond Gold’s recent ban. I doubt the dude would ever even think about shooting a Palestinian himself, but boy will he happily dehumanize an entire culture as easy as taking a sip of water!

5% is noticeable unless the graph is under 20 pixels tall. Even then, dithering or antialiasing techniques could make it visible.

So… things not actually restricted to internal combustion engines? That sounds… rather petty and foolish.

What about it, for curiosity’s sake? Is it the fumes? The crazyness of literally going so fast as to barely retain control in tons of metal? Or for things like motorbikes, doing all that without tons of metal for a modicum of protection? lol

I love motorsports, but no matter the power source, the extreme stuff kinda’ takes having a screw or two loose…

IMO, “One app/library/etc does one thing only” is a rather ignorant form of wisdom about encapsulation, anyways.

Encapsulation is important regardless of how many disparate tasks a library handles. Doing one thing with one thing is a pretty good rule of thumb to get close to good results, but it is FAR from a golden standard, and serves to drag people away from the finer nuances of encapsulation.

The ONLY time it is a hard and fast rule is at the individual function level. A single function ideally should have one task to accomplish, even if that task has side effects.

I’m sure there are cross-dependency issues on an OS level that makes it a bit wiser to do for widely used system tasks, but to make it an absolute rule smacks of wisdom gone awry. Like not eating shellfish in the bible.

Many people are giving wrong answers. Cognitive dissonance is NOT simply holding two opposing ideas in your head. Cognitive DISSONANCE is the uneasy feeling people are supposed to get when holding discongruent ideas at the same time.

Some people do not feel cognitive dissonance at all even while openly voicing the opinions. Great examples are all over politics. If one is for women having the freedom to make their own medical decisions, but oppose abortion bejng legal, those are two opposing views that SHOULD trigger unease and make them reconsider one position or the other.

A better example is people that believe laws should apply equally to everyone, but then go on to say Trump should totally be immune. That SHOULD cause dissonance, but it doesn’t for far too many.

I definitely remember some people screeing about Bush and Cheney wanting it, but IIRC, everyone was treating it like suspicion at most.

The Epstein conspiracy theory was accepted FAR more readily, but then that’s basically guaranteed to be true to some degree, even if it was truly just the jailors being incompetent fuckwits that wanted to take justice in to their own hands.

The only thing I remember people being remotely close to believing was that Bush was so incompetent that he allowed a terrorist attack to happen.

It’s not really a theory that Bush was an incompetent fuckwit, but it’s highly debatable if they knew enough to stop it.

It’s capitalism in the education sector.

Then get rid of the non-functional ziplock part altogether. That’d save way more plastic.

They did say “in America”. Perhaps he’s towards the top for confirmed kills, though if we include credible suspicions, there are many terrible people that didn’t deserve even the concept of freedom.

There are several serial killers that are in the hundreds, so no. No they are not.

Aim that thing at the fossil fuel companies that literally gaslighted the public for decades.

What do you mean? I’m totally supposed to be on Lemmy instead of working …

The justification is absolutely stupid no matter who attempts to use it.
