Bananas and potatoes. I can’t say that I enjoy bananas now, but I tolerate them kinda and eat them regularly.

We ate potatoes for just about every meal when I was a kid so I started to dislike it, but now I love potatoes in every form and eat it as much as I can.

Because it’s aired for free by the public service maybe? Maybe a VPN is required to access it outside of Sweden but otherwise it’s so available that I suppose no one has bothered to make a torrent.

I hope you haven’t missed the series

Well, obviously. :P

Ah, so it’s a ‘you voted wrong’ safeguard. :|

Only in FPTP systems

Indirect voting? Why would I trust my vote to someone else claiming they will honour my choice.

Edit: also gerrymandering, registering to vote, not having the election on a holiday so everyone has a chance to vote, candidates for presidents being voted for before the vote??

Well yes, you could? That’s why science gets peer reviewed. If it’s not something that can be reproduced it won’t pass. And psychology is difficult since there’s so many factors that can change, which brings back my earlier point, facts can change. :)

Plate tectonics wasn’t discovered until recently so before the 60’s, it was a fact that continents didn’t move. Then it was discovered that they do actually move, and now it’s a fact that they do.

That’s why science is peer reviewed and a different matter. You can also potentially fact check it yourself. But this is digressing from the point

Yes thank you, I’m aware of those. :) I meant via your own instance. I’m registered on a very small instance, and being able to discover other instances from your own would make it much more usable.

…Unless that is already possible. Lemmy isn’t that intuitive, at least for me

Isn’t it always that >95% of users are lurkers? I don’t bother logging in most of the time, I just go to lemmy.world or something and sort by all

Finding instances for sure. Just learned in this thread that sorting by ‘all’ doesn’t show me every instance

Faith and belief isn’t the same thing, no? Faith is something you have regardless of evidence.

Anyway, the difference between them are that one is evidence-based on a scientific ground, which should be the only valid evidence, while the other isn’t.

Just a guess, but no? Insults are subjective I suppose and not being able to ‘insult’ a country or it’s people would make many discussions impossible I think.

The difference is that one belief is evidence-based, and hence a fact, while the other isn’t

Which makes it a fact? Facts can change too

Better start digging towards the planet core

Person 1 has file A, which person 2 wants to download. Person 2 connects to person 1 and starts to download which makes person 1 a seeder. If person 1 has file A but doesn’t seed, person 2 can’t download file A since there is no seeder.

When you seed you make sure that others can download that same file, but yes, they establish a connection with you to download it. If I have understood it correctly.

Lmao my dad did the same. Showed me how to use protection and explained how sex worked in a technical sense when I was about 11-12 I think. Never had to and never wanted to ask anything when I hit puberty

Use protection and don’t do drugs or nicotine. It would be nice if you abstained alcohol as well. That’s about it
