  • Not a theist, so I'm not defending the potential existence of "my god".

    Lack of evidence, however, doesn't always mean something doesn't exist or hasn't happened. If John killed Jake and destroyed or hid the evidence, and based on that wasn't found guilty, that doesn't mean that he didn't do it. It simply means no substantial evidence has been found to prove it (yet).

    If you want to take your example further, it's quite possible to find out years or decades later that drug is in fact harmful, it just took time for the side-effects to show, or rather we simply didn't have the right technology to come to that conclusion earlier. (Though far less likely for this scenario to happen with modern science.)

    Also, the existence of science or established set of natural laws, and absence of supernatural does not rule out existence of an uninvolved or uncaring creator.

  • Borders are merely representations of governance
  • Same between Austria and Slovenia and Slovenia and Croatia. Well, at least on one side. Going from Austria to Croatia, nobody will stop you, but going from Croatia to Austria, they stop you on each border. Austria took COVID as an excuse to reinstate it, and Slovenia I guess chose to be very worried about illegal immigrants.

  • Come on, science!
  • One of my family cats is currently at the end of her life due to kidney disease. It really sucks, glad they're doing something about it. Now if only they could do the same for dogs.

  • Pronouns
  • It's funny to me how easy English has it. All you have to do is use "they", and if people think that's awkward, they should see how difficult it is to navigate it in a language with complex verb conjugations with gendered nouns and verbs. It's complicated to the point that non-binary people will still use their assigned-at-birth (if that's the term?) pronouns, to save everyone - including themselves - a headache. There's of course a movement to change the language, but it's difficult.

  • Top post of PCMR on Reddit today XD
  • As a Linux main, I don't think it's hard, but it's also still not as good as Windows in some ways I find important. Fractional scaling for instance. I had a different resolutions multimonitor setup, and I definitely had more issues than on Windows. Also, now with two same reso monitors, I still have to switch to Windows to RDP into my work Win machine, because on Linux it's so blurry due to difference in scaling, it hurts my eyes. Of course, I'm most likely in minority of a minority, but it's still a thing.

  • Steam now warns you if a game you're about to buy is already owned by someone in your Steam Family.
  • I did that when I worked customer support. The only way I could retain the little bit of sanity I had left. But to be honest, we were so understaffed that even if I slipped, they wouldn't have fired me. There was one guy who was so angry with a customer that he wrote their number down, and then over his break called the customer with his private phone to argue with them. Still didn't get fired, lol.

  • Oprah Exits Weight Watchers Board After Admitting She Took Weight Loss Meds, Stock Tumbling
  • I've been reading so much about how simple it is to lose weight, it's all about caloric deficit. I've also been in Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism communities long enough to know that's not always true. It's probably true for healthy individuals, but with Hashi's and hypothyroidism, metabolism doesn't work as well, so you can be in caloric deficit and work out, yet still unable to shed the extra weight.
