Sneakernet is getting worse and worse these days, I'm learning the ancient art of astroprojecting into random people's rooms to consume media.

Anna's Archive seems to be doing a good job of that

very careful not to disclose any information to steam

proceeds to associate with everyone they were previously friends with on public logs

I just want to point out that if your friends accounts were public like you imply they wouldn't have even needed to use the site. All the site does is automate the data collection process. The only way to fix it is to make private accounts the default.

Currently there doesn't seem to be any mechanisms preventing me from spinning up an instance with 10k votes to downvote a post. The bots will come eventually

The worst part is that many interpretations of the bible are completely compatible with modern science and vaccines in the same way (almost) all Christians now believe in the Heliocentric model. At this point its not even the bible that is the problem, instead its the pastors.

From my perspective its because people won't change their beliefs unless they stop benefiting the believer. For people who live in a religious community, there church's sunday social event is enjoyable, there friends are all religious, there denomination provides a entire moral framework and worldview they don't even need to think about. Confirmation bias plays a major role in preventing alternate thought to block out other worldviews.

Only when someone does not gain much benefit from there religion or has a important part of there religion proven wrong, can they process alternative ideologies and either switch to a more useful denomination or stop believing entirely.

Its more of a joke, it implies that being conservative is like being "sh1t" or other such words.

The question is, what will happen in 2038 when y2k happens again due to an integer overflow? People are already sounding the alarm but who knows if people will fix all of the systems before it hits.

You should do a poll on that, the answer may surprise you.

seirdy.one has this great index of google alternatives that can be used.

Anna's Archive and z-library are the best way I've found to pirate books

Anna's archive acts as a drop in replacement for libgen and z-library, also doesn't cost anything

To be fair, while unreal isn't FOSS, it's source code is at least openly viewable so devs would find it easier to make easily transferable alternatives
