Ultraviolet@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Pros/cons to legalize marijuana in a countryEnglish1·2 months agoThat’s a bit of a false dilemma though. The two options aren’t “it’s a magical elixir with absolutely no downsides” and “people deserve to be locked in a cage and have their life ruined for possessing it”. Plenty of legal things can cause harm. 35% of people are lactose intolerant, do we ban dairy?

Ultraviolet@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•So, is the USA screwed?English5·5 months agoThe wound predates Reagan and goes back to the Civil War. Sherman had the chance to cauterize it, but he held back and let it fester, and here we are.

Ultraviolet@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•[solved] Do you know about the upcoming February 5th event ?English14·5 months agoA lot of Trump voters are horribly uninformed. They didn’t know - and still don’t know - what Project 2025 is. They thought it was fearmongering because they only heard about it from Dems. They have no idea what’s happening right now, nor do they care. All they know is their team won, and they’re otherwise tuned out. Maybe they’ll wake up when they feel the effects, but they’ll probably just blame Democrats because Fox News tells them to.
You won’t even know they’re ads, it will just implant false childhood memories, giving you positive associations with the brand.
I swear this admin could hang up a giant swastika flag in the Oval Office and the media would defend it as “they’re just honoring Usha Vance’s Hindu heritage, it doesn’t matter that it’s diagonal in a white circle on a red background with the 14 Words underneath, it’s a symbol of peace and prosperity”
He also said it after, which you’d only conceivably do to give post-hoc plausible deniability. If it was what he really meant, he’d say it before or during.
The rich ones, at least. Longevity science under capitalism will result in a quasi-immortal upper class and a mortal lower class. Another looming threat of ultra-late capitalism.
The tricky thing was we didn’t have the original rules, we had rules for how to modify it into a gambling game, written with the assumption that everyone already knew how to play, so we needed to derive the original rules from that.
Ultraviolet@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Since Pi is infinite and non-repeating, would that mean any finite sequence of non-repeating numbers should appear somewhere in Pi?English2·7 months agoYes. The exceptions are a smaller cardinality of infinity than the set of all real numbers.
It’s all a weird act. Kids swear around other kids, adults swear around other adults, but oh no, you can’t let kids hear those dangerous swear words that they already know and use every day.
Also, if you compare the age of the universe right now to how long it will be until heat death, we are absurdly early. We’re in the first 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the universe’s lifespan.

Ultraviolet@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Withdrawal is going to make people go madEnglish6·8 months agoThis may sound pedantic, but you’re looking for Fairtrade (one word) for the organization with the strictest vetting standards. Fair Trade (two words) isn’t regulated and just means they follow some sort of ethical code. It’s not necessarily bad, but it warrants more product specific research.
