  • Um akshually ☝️🤓 most of those objects don’t reflect light they absorb light and they re-emit photons at a different energy level.

    (Pre submission edit I fact checked this first and while it is true, the same can be said for photons reflected by a mirror, so op is basically right, they are all reflections)


  • I mean other than being too literal about the scenario and saying something like I would half flip the lever causing the trolley to derail. Then I would either just freeze and not act in time either way, or if I somehow had enough time to think it through, and I knew all the parameters with 100% certainty I don’t think I would do it, $100 isn’t that much money and thinking about my own financial gain when people are about to die would make me feel gross.

    I think you’re missing my point and I encourage you to read the study I posted, it’s a pretty big and in depth meta analysis of a bunch of studies into SMT, which is what I’m describing as the core idea. Which shows it’s just as effective as traditional physio and even has some advantages, it also looks at the risks and find most studies show only a small level of risk.

    The problem is chiropractic isnt just SMT, they tack a bunch of addition bullshit onto it that doesn’t actually do anything and many of them aren’t actually trained properly in SMT. So if you were to just look at those chiropractors that aren’t trained properly and do a bunch of extra pseudo science nonsense, yeah you can absolutely produce results that show it doesn’t help or it’s harmful. But the core concept SMT has strong evidence it’s effective.

    So instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater and just saying all chiropractic is nonsense, we should instead just regulate it more so that all chiropractors are trained properly in SMT and aren’t allowed to practice unsafe treatments or pseudoscience.

    Being naturally good at school to the point where you don’t even have to try, so you don’t learn skills you need to learn and study properly, so the minute you get to a level of education that outpaces your natural knowledge, then you immediately start to struggle and then because being intelligent/good at school was one of your defining traits your whole life you lose a core part of yourself and so instead of playing catch up and developing those study skills you just get depressed and start to spiral, and eventually drop out and have to settle for a near minimum wage job that is monotonous and you hate and you have no way to afford going back to uni and you just exist as a ghost of yourself for the rest of your life… Or so I hear.







  • So you think having to buy a unique licence for every game is a better alternative than being able to buy an actual copy of a game that you own, second hand for a fraction of the price?

    Because thats the argument here, not comparing them to netflix, comparing steam to a model where you actually own the media you buy and can do what you want with it.

    It’s amazing how many people drop the whole “nobody becomes a billionaire by being a good person” rhetoric as soon as you mention their pet wholesome chungus billionaire.

    You guys are just as bad as the people that defend musk because “he’s real life Tony Stark! He makes rockets and electric cars!!!”

    Yeah it’s not like he popularised the model of only owning a licence to a game, not the game it self, popularised lootboxes and keys and made tons of money of pushing gambling on kids, had to sued into having a refund policy, popularised early access as a business model, takes a huge 30% of profits of other people’s labour, and was the first to fold to puritanicals that wouldnted him to ban certain games from the platform or anything like that.

    Yeah lord Gaben is my wholesome good guy billionaire.
