So...

• normal people are scared because they fall for the gambler's fallacy,
• mathematician is feeling fine because a 50% chance is a 50% chance,
• and the scientist is feeling extra fine because the experimental data shows that the surgery is actually safer than 50%

Did I get it right?

Lol this exact video is what prompted me to make the meme

Unpopular opinion: dead internet is not only real, but GOOD. Once robots get good enough to autonomously sign up for websites and make convincing posts, this will force us humans to go actually outside, make friends, form deep social relationship, and build lasting, resilient communities. Meanwhile on the internet, websites that are willing to allow AI content for money will eventually die out due to lack of actual users. The only remaining websites will be run by individuals and organizations with non-profit motives, and a strict human-only policy with verification based on word-of-mouth / invite system.

I unknowingly downloaded some software from there when I was a kid, and, from what I remember, it came bundled with some sort of update manager or something. Even if it's not outright malware, I would wager most people who are looking to download logitech's utility don't want some irrelevant third-party garbage on their system. So AT BEST it's crapware / bloatware

There's something so on-the-nose about having "with ads" as part of a subscription tier's official name. For decades companies have been coming up with euphemisms for their low-cost services (e.g. "economy class" on airlines, "community edition" for freemium software). But now here we are with Disney pretty much saying "Go watch ads you poor bitch". It's the death of a euphemism. They're selling a crappy service, and they aren't afraid to say it.

For phone-to-computer it works fine. But double-sided boi will still win if you need to send files to a dumber device like a printer -- those don't typically support MTP or whatever iphones use. Unless you have an ancient android phone that gives full block-level access to the internal storage/microsd card through usb cable lol. I really miss that feature.

Thanks, glad you like it! I spent quite some time re-making the template from scratch in inkscape, because the original meme din't have enough space for the text

Obligatory shilling for unar, I love that little fucker so much

• Single command to handle uncompressing nearly all formats.
• No obscure flags to remember, just unar <yourfile>
• Makes sure output is always contained in a directory
• Correctly handles weird japanese zip files with SHIFT-JIS filename encoding, even when standard unzip doesn't

I find that a large number of conspiracy theories are asking the right questions, just not providing the right answers. Does big tech want to control our minds with 5G towers and microchips hidden in covid vaccines? Probably not. Does big tech want to control our minds with social media and invasive advertising? Absolutely. Is the world controlled by a secret society of lizard people? Probably not. Is the world controlled by a not-so-secret society of billionaires and politicians? To a large extent. Even those awful racist or bigoted conspiracy theories start to sound somewhat ~~palpable~~ palatable if you filter out the racist or bigoted part. Do Jews make life for the rest of us miserable by controlling the economy? No. But replace "Jews" with "the owning class", and suddenly it kind of makes sense.

EDIT: Is the government putting chemicals in the water that turn frogs gay? No. Are corporations putting chemicals in water bottles that turn frogs into hermaphrodites? Literally yes

EDIT PART TWO - ELECTRIC BOOGALOO: Palatable, not palpable. Words are hard.

A technology that was made To Stop Criminals™ being used against a political whistleblower? Color me surprised! (thanks for sharing the link btw, didn't know about that)
