Man it doesn't even need to devolve into a debate. You get berated just for having an opinion on something more and more. That's the problem with the voting system anyways. People that don't share an opinion with you shouldn't even have an option to down vote. Just don't vote at all. Up votes are for shared opinions. But even then the biggest gripe I had with reddit was the system has the up voted "popular" comments as the most viewed as well, leaving the opinions of people unseen without looking for them.

People are impressionable. If they see everyone agreeing with a comment they feel they need to skew their opinion towards the common dissent or risk being alienated. We're communal creatures. And social media screwed with our heads with the need to fit in.

I agree. I already tend to get tossed into a category because I don't agree with a majority of the user base. If people can get categorized more by how they vote, and lemmy users are already pretty savvy, I can see a scenario where people get tagged.

I seriously thought ridley Scott was sigourney weaver for the longest time until people saying "he" I'm like I'm sure Ellen Ripley is female.

Because she's the vice president. What powers does she have other than influence?

I have a HTPC with 4 controllers and honestly my steam library has more couch games than my old Xbox.

You can but crouching and getting back up is so slow you can't tell what people are doing anymore

I never said they're getting smaller. I said tighter as in it's tighter to park in them because cars are getting bigger. And I'm not talking your F350 extended bed and cab super truck. You can just look up any articles. Appyparking did a study on it. American parking spots with the double lines are few outside of Costco.

Not sure why I'm getting down voted here. The people here get upset over the silliest things. Parking sucks. People are stressed. Stop yelling at someone for buying a car too big for parking. Not everyone is driving a prius, and everyone has a right to buy a vehicle on the market and expect for it to comply with all standards, including parking.

Saw this at my local grocery store. Does this upset you?

But that also doesn't translate. If the moment the photon is created (from whatever reaction that caused the light source), to the moment it hit the person's eyes had no time pass (nothing in the universe moved) then it would be instantly created and observed by the observer. But the moment the switch turns on and the moment the photon hits the observer (as miniscule as this distance is) the eye of the observer has moved from A: switch goes on to B: observed.

Yeah no time passes for the photon I guess, but the universe still moved around the photons travel.
