op’s post was making the point that a lot of specs of the 2024 iphone 16 were already found on the 2021 sony xperia 1 III. I don’t really care about either, and you could use a lot of different 2021 android phones as a comparison. I don’t even think the comparison is entirely fair, but to ignore the fact that apple is clearly lagging behind android on certain aspects while hiding behind marketing is just misguided. Also, their phones are just overpriced because of price, and the innovation argument is getting old.

It’s funny I litterally just finished an episode of Search Engine, the ‘new’ PJ Vogt podcast, where that’s the actual question. It was the May 3rd episode, and they’re interviewing a researcher on the topic, etc.

i understand even less when people are saying that when someone does something out of passion it should allow us to consume it for free

idiotic takes make them an idiot.

just before that comment i was in a thread where they (op hacktheprisons) insisted through dozen of comments that they’ve never seen anyone ever say that biden and trump are two sides of the same coin, as a justification to vote for trump or to not vote at all.

reminds me of the improv “Bears gotta get knowledge” on the Dropout show Play It By Ear.

This one.

I have never agreed more with a stranger on a topic so niche

The sad thing is I knew at the time, but lack of games and, most of all, the lack of my friends having it, made the dreamcast lose in favour of its contenders.

I thought the Dreamcast earned this title

You’re just presenting nuanced conclusions as overwhelming truths to put weight on your opinion, while taking a few shortcuts. You’re entitled to your opinion of course, but that doesn’t mean you get to dismiss any contradicting ones by deciding unilaterally what the words mean.

Chiropractice in the US might be just “cracking joints”, but it’s not true everywhere. If you can’t accept that, then I don’t know what to tell you.

That’s not what you said, you don’t get to lecture me by pretending you said something else.

Anything illegal deserves more yuck than I can count, but expressing your personal taste towards things that are legal and socially accepted (while frown upon) by dismissing a behaviour that you personslly disagree with is… dismissive.

I understand where you’re coming from, but you’re expressing your taste and values in a very dismissive way

Psychoanalysis was invented almost at the same time in Vienna and a lot of freudian concepts have since been critiqued due to his biases. Does it mean Austria forever owns psychoanalysis and anything that could be discovered since? There is a difference between a field of research, a scientific discipline and a paradigm. Debunking a theory that was invented more than a century ago doesn’t disqualify every research done after that. Also, paradigm change often comes from opposing theories from the same field they oppose. If we did like that, there wouldn’t be a lot of research field left standing.

You accept yourself that osteopathy was able to go beyond its suspicious origin, but refuse to imagine that chiropractice could do the same. Which is why I reiterate: chiropractice requiring no medical training is a north american thing.

in the us, again, it doesn’t happen like that in a lot of countries.

That’s just not true, regulations imply healthcare reimbursement, which implies strict control on the treatment and the practicians, because insurance companies hate paying.

…from a north american perspective.

Those definitions are just not true in a lot of countries outside of the us.

This is a very north american opinion, which also happens to be very condescending in tone, while op explicitly dismiss commenters who disagree with them. The practices designated by the various terms, such as chiropractors, osteopath, physical therapists, etc. vary depending on the countries and contexts, especially in some european countries where chiropractors must answer to the same standards and regulations as the other medical professions. This should be taken into account.

That’s the answer, the gnocchi pastas imitate the shape of the potato gnocchi. I also wouldn’t really call potato gnocchi pastas, like if I invite people to eat and say I’m cooking pastas, nobody’s expecting potato gnocchi. But I think in Italy they’re in the same aisle as fresh pastas. The thing is - and op’s picture is correct - that italians actually differenciate between different shapes of pasta, for the simple reason that pasta shapes have functional reasons and different shapes correspond to different dishes.
