Look, I agree they suck, but video games being slightly worse isn’t the worst thing about the 21st century.

Real life sisyphus.

I think you mean Hans Kristian Graebener of Spring, TX.

I’m a young, spry, 39 year old millennial and my back is killing me.

What is this scene from?

Why would you trust random people on lemmy over a basic resource like Wikipedia?

I wonder how well this actually works…

I didn’t like the way he looked at me.

Ah, hadn’t thought of that, good call. I buy old Macs and fix them up.

Updates to macOS are free; the hardware sales make that possible.

Updates to third-party apps like MS Office and Adobe are entirely at the discretion of that vendor (both of those are likely subscription-only at this point).

LibreOffice is available for macOS, yes.

I think Oracle’s VirtualBox is still free for emulation. You can also use Boot Camp to install Windows natively for dual-booting.

“This isn’t food, what the hell?”

That’s an app bug.

Anything can be addictive, puritan.

I thoroughly enjoy philosophy and it was central to my degree in political science, but you have crazy mouth.

Please feel free to launch a vehicle outside of our solar system and tell me that Philosophy has a better understanding of the physical universe than NASA.

You said you were poking fun, I poked back. I appreciate the conversation, I enjoy thinking about these things.

Both Newtonian and Einstein’s physics suggest a boulder pushed off a cliff will fall, as far as I know. The observable data is more intrinsically valuable than the theories using them.

Fallibility isn’t something science shies away from. There’s nothing more exciting in the scientific community than when science is wrong about something.

Philosophers grandiosely proclaiming that nothing is knowable is fine, but it’s not what put a man on the moon.

“All observed swans are white” is not incompatible with the unobserved existence of a black swan.

Of course we aren’t omniscient and there’s a possibility of an anti-gravity anomaly stopping the boulder, but not standing under them is still the most rational response to the data we do have.
