This is a fixable problem

Only on expensives items or antiques. I don’t like it, but it seems to be expected on marketplace. I’m so used to people haggling I post everything 25% higher than the amount I actually want or expect.

That being said, I always think it’s funny when someone posts obo on their item. If the price is 700 obo, why the hell would I offer you 700?

Amother organism or person needs to be predictable to be trusted.someone or something acting in an unpredictable manner means it may suddenly decide you’re a threat. We evolved in a world before science and medicine, where any injury could mean death. Even the most unstoppable animals, bears, elephants, moose, will bluff charge a threat rather than immediately attack, because fighting risks injury, regardless of how unbalanced the fight is. I can’t win a fight against any of those animals, but I can bite it while it’s killing me. A full thickness bite wound is all but guaranteed to cause an infection, which may kill or disable.

Humans are also social creatures, and we run on cultural norms that make it easier to trust that the person next to you in a restaurant won’t suddenly stab you, even though he is holding a knife.

A major cultural difference can make others seem dangerous in a primal way. We know through interaction that other cultures are not more dangerous, but that primal unease of being surrounded by people from a different tribe is still in there somewhere.

In my opinion, this is why racism is so hard to root out. A lot of it is taught by others, but it’s not a negligible amount tied to fear of anything different.

Odd that there’s so much hate for the image generation. I hate AI, but not for the images. I have an image generator myself and it’s funny as hell. I hate AI for ruining the internet. After August of 2023, every search engine became borderline useless, and every “informative” website became auto generated dogshit.

You know, as I was typing that out, I was thinking “why would anyone believe me”.

The complete events that unfolded sound like a story where everyone clapped for me, so instead of sounding like a kid making shit up, I’ll just say, it smelled like bananas, I told someone the bees thing, and a week later the place shut down for a few days while a massive honeycomb/hive was removed from the ceiling.

I read about the smell on cracked in like 2008 and just parroted the info later, which turned out to be true, at least in this case.

Yeah. There was a restaurant near me that had a hive in their ceiling, and the whole store smelled like banana

It’s burnout. They see the headlines everyday, and the flowers just don’t seem as bright as they used to.

I picked up a few folding tables from a clearance website on a whim for my workshop. They were from a company called Origami, and were like 9$. I figured if they were crap I could reuse the tops and practice welding on the steel frames.

Turned out to be one of the best purchases I’ve made. They fold flat and come apart, and the surprisingly thick steel frames lock into place with latches and don’t wobble at all.

I’ll see if I can track down a link for one.

Edit : this was the model I got. Looks like it’s not available through amazon, which I try not to support anyway, but this is the desk for reference https://www.amazon.com/Origami-RDF-01-Folding-Computer-Black/dp/B07K2S57P7

Ochre

Get handy. Fix things before they go bad, and learn basic construction on the way. Second hand tools are cheap, and there’s a number of good youtubers to help in any situation. After you get your bearings, it turns into a fun way to make the place into what you want it to be. Nothing is terribly difficult, and materials can be had cheap if you’re not in an emergency. Facebook marketplace allowed me to build a house for 70k over two years, and it’s valued at 350k, and not finished yet. The experience gained led me to doing odd side jobs and reselling unused materials to keep paying for new additions. If you can replace your own water heater, you can replace someone elses for half the price of Lowes and still take home 700$ for three hours work. Pick up some resold tile and put in a bathroom wall. You’ll find out what you did wrong in your own bathroom and won’t mess up someone elses for some extra cash in a pinch.

Electrical work is my favorite. Know the code, and how to stay safe, and it’s a lot of fun that the average person is HORRIFIED of. Get a good electricians multitool, a current tester, a drill and some tape, and you can perform miracles.

Most people will never afford a house. You don’t have to fix it, you get to fix it, so take pride and make it somewhere you love to live.

Not the original commenter, but what theirs saying stands true. The issue of “sounds legit” is the main driving force in misinformation right now.

The only way to combat it is to truly gain the knowledge yourself. Accepting things at face value has lead to massive disagreements on objective information, and allowed anti science mindsets to flourish.

Podcasts are the medium that I give the most blame to. Just because someone has a camera and a microphone, viewers believe them to be an authority on a subject, and pairing this with the “sounds Legit” mindset has set back critical thinking skills for an entire population.

More people need to read Jurassic park.

A good point, but I do like the observation that the only problems Nissan has are with the two most important parts of a vehicle.

This is some pretty good spaghetti, just the noodles and sauce are trash.

Guaranteed this just turns Honda into Nissan quality

Seems like poor timing

I use an add on called noscript. It’s a little scorched earth, but I hardly notice it now that it’s set up.
