@ratlimit I sometimes think about the fact that the scene I'm looking at is exactly the same scene that historical figures saw. They must have been sharing some thoughts with me in that moment, noticing similar things
English
Do you ever think about how you have been (for a brief moment) located at the exact coordinates at which some famous historical figure once stood?
Like, if you have flown from Chicago to NY, you have passed thru the exact coordinates at which George Washington once passed thru?

@ShaisTaub Are you sure that - as an orthodox rabbi - you want your followers to question "authoritative information"?
English
Nobody really knows what’s in the center of the earth and yet they have these intricate diagrams in the text books as if someone went down there and took pictures. Think about that when you are presented with “authoritative information.” No, I’m not trolling.

@ratlimit @GKunstwerk i feel like a lot of respondents feel clever for including humans and vote no.
i would be surprised if this poll created similar numbers

@ratlimit@ratlimit
@semioticatj I would imagine bc “no animal is a capable of rational action” would be similarly lopsided
English
@GKunstwerk I was gonna put “non-human animals” but two nons in one sentence felt like a bit much
English
33% of respondents forgot what we are. Even excluding us, you still have to account for ducks and dolphins. They know what they did...

“A non-zero number of animals have done something morally wrong.”

@RadishHarmers i was just arguing for like half an hour with someone who claimed that i can't say that portable air cons have two downsides: they are louder, and cool less, than built in aircons.
he was saying that they are both just the same problem - every spin of the fan cools less

If it took longer to film, he would be older.
John Wang@j0hnwang
the director of obsession is 26 years old and the entire movie was shot in 1 month???

I am pleased to say that I will be there, although I cannot guarantee that I will speak. So come!
Manifold@ManifoldMarkets
We have a bunch of confirmed speakers now on the Manifest website! We'll be adding more over the coming weeks too. Check out the website for more, or to bet on the attendance of unconfirmed guests!

@AaronBergman18 @mattyglesias Apparently they are legal here but are just not sold because most uk windows have hinges on the sides
English
@mattyglesias RIP, I think I unironically endorse civil disobedience about this (although cheap/easy for me to say)
What happens if you just vibe-install one? Are you gonna go to prison?
English
Wtf
I don’t wanna be too flippant because I know it’s a substantial or even prohibitive cost for some people but you can just do things (buy and install a <$200 window AC unit)
Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼@Noahpinion
Economists estimate that if Europeans used AC as much as Americans do, it would save up to 100,000 European lives EVERY YEAR. But I guess saving face on Elon Musk's social media app is more important than 100,000 lives.

@AaronBergman18 when i search for 'window air conditioner' on amazon in london no results come up.
but i can get a 9000 btu floor standing unit for £260 which is not too much more

@requiescus @Romy_Holland this was an interesting read love the story of the guy giving out blank flyers
English
@requiescus It's called Chelsea in Bloom. From Sloane Square all the way throughout King's Road. There's also Belgravia in Bloom happening. They might be removed soon so if you want to see them you might have to go tomorrow!
