  • Yeah but that’s the thing nowadays: there’s an attack on facts, proof and science in general. It’s all about feelings and the loudness of the biggest screamers (populist politicians and extremist influencers). Scientists and fact checkers are portrayed as dumb, incompetent, terrorists, etc. These arguments are the weakest possible in a discussion but somehow people just follow these idiots and reject science and facts.

    The same happened when the church felt threatened by science during the discovery of the round earth traveling around the sun. The general public was riled up against science, even forcing academia to practice in secret.





  • Just because something already exists, doesn’t mean it can’t be also caused by something else. Like canser. It already exists. But smoking can cause it too.

    Next to that, it’s paracetamol. It predates the discovery/naming of autism. It’s already proven not to be the cause by other studies. Of course these studies could have been wrong, but I highly doubt that.

    So this statement is incorrect. Doesn’t change the fact that I don’t believe a word of either Trump or RFK. I still believe science and I still don’t believe pseudoscience.











  • I played a lot of Pac-Man and now I’m munching for pills in dark rooms while listening to repetitive music. It’s true, I love techno parties. Joke, I barily ever played Pac-Man.

    I also played a lot of age of empires. Now I annoy everyone with “whololoooo” all the time. Joke, no I don’t.

    Whololooooo

    It probably has nothing to do with widely available guns.

    Here in NL we don’t have that, but we do have loads of mass shootings. Oh wait, no we don’t. But we don’t have violent video games. Oh wait, yes we do.

  • Wow that’s sick! Would love to fix that next to all the other automated download systems I have, but I now have money and I want to support the artists. Maybe still a good idea for the impossible to get music which isn’t sold anywhere. Like tekno. Thanks! I’ll look into soularr. I know soulseek, but last time I tried it, it fucked up my internet connection settings somehow. Really weird. I wanted to try it again, after not using it for… 15 years now? But yeah, all internet access was blocked when I opened slsk. Also the music I have to share is old. And back then the quality was poor. I have a 2TB music collection but I think 3/4 of it is poor quality mp3’s.
