I'm in Ontario and 2-beds are over $2000 in my building. For reference, when I started renting in the same building 15 years ago, I paid less than $900.

It's insane, and ensures that most people cannot start any kind of businesses beyond doing surveys online.

Lol, they think Canada is still better than the shitholes they're coming from.

I seem to recall that FOX news started by being blatantly Right wing sensationalising headlines and stories to the point of fabrication.

People forget that the partisan bullshit and echo chamber mentality that CNN and MSNBC have today were pioneered by FOX in the 2000s

That depends.

Can I get an AI running on my own, without interference? We aren't far off that now. At that point I can just feed it medical textbooks and use it to diagnose whatever I want.

If people are dumb enough to trust doctors, they're dumb enough to trust AI, and unimaginable horrors will happen either way.

Good, I don't know why we still have human doctors at all.

I've been helping my elderly neighbour get around for years now and I go to a lot of his medical appointments; doctors don't do shit for him. He's on two dozen different meds; half of which interfere with the other half. He has chronic pain all over his body and is told "it's normal". No one, to my knowledge, has seriously discussed his diet with him (he's diabetic, obviously).

How would AI be worse? At least he could get diagnosed from home.

Lol, yeah, but is it any different from human doctors?

Our entire global medical apparatus, outside a handful of individuals, just demonstrated why they can and should be replaced with AI.

Somebody got the jab, lol

I didn't see the original Arndt video but there was really nothing here but rhetoric.

What is in the laws that bias them? What, specifically, are the bureaucrats doing to push feminism? What are the current outcomes and what should they be?

To someone who's been paying attention for the last ten years, this is just axe grinding.

Because "Aether" was the original "dark matter"; it was a stop gap for something people could observe but didn't yet understand .

Once we understood that the Earth moves and isn't the center of the universe, Aether didn't make sense so we got rid of it.

"Science" is blind adherence to authority, whether it's NASA or your chosen youtuber.

Science is a tool for you to use. You can get your own answers if you know what you're doing. Fundamentally, it means "the world operates on consistent, logical principals which all work together" and you can determine these principals by testing them.

Yeah, I'm not going to think he's our guy anytime soon, but he does delight in throwing hypocrisy back in their faces and I'm here for it.

Sure, sure, the model of our world where billions of interlocking parts fit together with perfect balance and grace, which fits every observation we can make with the eyes and brains God gave us; Satan created that to trick us?

And the "trust me bro, I saw it on Youtube" model was created by God to test our faith?

Right...

Disagree. There's no one else so unequivocably wrong about stuff for me to laugh at.

Truth is anathema to a Jew. Calling him "Jew" is his kryptonite.

No, Donald Trump is obviously a man of principal who, despite their long history of supporting American, cannot tolerate Israeli chicanery.

The DMCA is one of the biggest blows to the idea of free speech, globally.

I think the people that can and want to socialize are the people who are open to reality.

The people that want a specific narrative despite reality tend to hide in their echo chambers and cubicle apartments.

Why not?

If you're at the equator, and the stars aren't so close that the curve of the Earth blocks them (and they aren't) you should be able to see them all, no? Unless they're moving in geosynchronus orbit, and no one is suggesting that.

Imagine drawing a little hat on a circle. The peak of the hat is your observational height and the underside is what you can't see. You'd intuit that you wouldn't be able to see a lot of stars if you were very close to the Earth if your height were low (which it is). However, the stars are so insanely far away that, by the time your "hat" gets to them, it's already "descended" to the point you can see everything on your side of the equator.

If you're on the equator, you get to see both sides, therefore you see all stars.

Of empty space, maybe, and even then what they actually say is that it's expanding at the speed of light, so it's only functionally infinite.

Infinite Earth still doesn't explain how we observe the sun moving, or how we see the stars moving, or tides, or anything else that would be required if FE was true.

None of those "controlled" talking points have anything to do with why I'm sure the Earth is a globe (a toroid at the very least).

The horizon is a vanishing point, not a physical boundary.

What does this even mean? FE just goes on forever?

Stars like Ursa Major and Orion are visible across wide latitudinal ranges inconsistent with a globe model.

You see, stars are very far away so, if you are near the equator, you should actually be able to see pretty much all of them in the course of a year. What exactly is "inconsistent with a globe model"? If it were flat, we should all be seeing the same stars all the time.
