There’s a term for this idea, “preternatural”. It means a phenomenon that is the result of the natural world, not magic or divine, but still unexplainable with our current understanding.

So anything actually proven to exist would be "preternatural" then. Even it turned out to be the result of magic or the devine, it's still something that exists in the natural world that we just don't understand yet.

I they got sued by shareholders for doing so. I guess CEOs aren't the only ones that need to be on the list...

Lemmy isn't a court of law, neither is the Internet.

Proceeds to cite general Internet opinion as proof of guilt.

but as an atheist, it sucks to be lumped in like this.

Every person with a religious belief knows this feeling.

Something someone who uses "woke" as slur made up that other people like to pretend is true so they can have an excuse for whataboutism.

I had my computer plugged into a power bar and we'd turn off the power bar to turn off the computer so that we wouldn't wear out the switch on the computer.

People actually thought you'd have a computer long enough to wear out its power switch.

I don't want Elon to win, I just want Trump to lose. And also Elon. Fuck that guy.

Invest in the future? But how will that affect today's profits?

Maybe we need to be targeting share holders and not just CEOs

Is this because every time he gets a girlfriend it's only so he can suffer because she immediately dies or suffers a fate worse than death?

If you’re seeing dying much sooner as direct result of his actions as an equal outcome, I’m not sure what to tell you.

There's dying, or a 1% chance of not dying. These are in fact not equal.

he saying whatever he thinks you want to hear to give him your vote

Which to someone starving to death is a lot better than someone saying "everything is fine, keep the status quo".

Are you glad he got voted in?

Nope. I was spending time trying to argue with people to do the bare fucking minimum to stop this, and the Democrats did not help with their campaign of "lets change nothing because everything is fine."

Is your life better now?

Not an American. I'll be fine. I can just understand why someone who is desperate (which according to polls is over 50% of your population) could decide to vote for someone who says they want to fucking change things, instead of the people saying everything is fine and they will change nothing.

Received a text from a pollster asking me who I'm going to vote for, is there any good reason to respond?

 

This is a weird one.

I am subscribed to Risa@startrek.website When browsing on my phone I can see the thumbnails just fine. When browsing on my desktop ublock origin blocks the thumbnails and avatars, but only from the startrek.website instance, and only when I'm accessing it through Lemmy.ca

If I go directly to startrek.website I can view everything fine, and other instances I am not encountering this issue with. Any idea what might be the cause? I am using Firefox.

 

I can go to the main page of a Lemmy instance and see whatever is active on that instance at the time, but is there a way to get something like r/all for all federated instances?
