It’s wild. Growing up with gas, I was always on Hank’s side. Now as an adult with a charcoal grill, I just don’t understand. :(

It’s lemmy. It’s full of Stalinist Tankies.

True true, but if there is genuinely quantum randomness, then the reactions those atoms go through aren’t predetermined, so the initial conditions could be on an individual basis, but not the long term.

I never meant to imply it was. I was simply stating that with a hyper advanced understanding of chemistry it’s possible that everything in the universe could have been predicted up to this point by an infinitely well programmed/powerful computer or whatever. Because in my head, that’s theoretically possible, it’s also possible everything is predetermined, not by some grand scheme or designs, but just predetermined by random chance.

Apologies if I’m using the incorrect phrasing.

God having a plan vs. everything being calculable to us is practically the same thing, no? Either way, it’s still best to act within your moral framework, religious or atheist because it’s just better to be a good person. I think me calling it a dilemma for either side is a stretch.

Yeah. It’s a fair take, and this is generally what I was getting at.

I think you can have this same dilemma as an atheist as well. I’m personally agnostic as I don’t have the knowledge to make a decision.

If we are all just atoms moving/reacting, surely everything we’d ever do would be predetermined by the initial reactions/vectors/forces at the big bang. I know there’s quantum randomness and stuff, but it’s possible that’s all calculable and we simply don’t have the means to calculate it. If that’s the case, IMO we still have freewill because we can’t predict the future, and it’s still worthwhile to move forward doing our best to be good people.

Based.

You’re right. I should have said “his son” instead.

I literally don’t care about the Hunter pardon. Trump pardoned Russian spies. I think pardoning a child for a dumb drug offence is fine. 🤷‍♂️

Oh I was genuinely curious if people drive across Europe like this often.

Yeah, that makes sense to me!

Is this something people actually do? I know here in the states we have the cannonball run. I doubt people actually drive the whole route very often.

My man, I have no idea why you got down voted. You’re 100% correct. Can’t afford to tip, can’t afford to eat out. Eating out is a luxury, not a necessity. Grocery stores have frozen food if you don’t want to cook.

A new Ahoy video dropped recently!

It’s nice because you can keep track of the internal temperature remotely.

Lemmygrad, malding since fighting the Soviets in COD4.

Yeah, rent control isn’t the solution people think it is. It turns out markets are high because of demand and supply. Not solely due to greed. What we need is more housing and to delete nimbyism.

Dude above did specify in VR though, and I agree. Forget playing anything in VR below 60.

Idk why you got down voted. It makes sense to me!
