  • The c/reddit community is not for people who love reddit. Having reddit in your name doesn’t mean you like or support reddit. There’s no irony, youre just misunderstanding my username, the sub and just about everything else. Stop trying to make fun of people’s usernames.

    What I should have said was “reminder: nobody give a shit about going back to reddit” for the slow one’s in the back looking to take things personally.










  • That’s the only difference between a dictatorship and a democracy. A dictatorship can run with dying illiterate slaves and still make a lot of money (see Elons Dad’s small loan of one emerald mine). In a democracy the money comes from the productivity of the citizens. That’s the only reason you get highways, schools, hospitals…

    So they started out by making us more productive by giving a ton of amenities to the boomers. But now they need more, so they are cutting back on things that make us productive, while demanding we be more productive.

    We should just eat the rich.






  • Revisiting the archives, Hoek realized this common paraphrasing featured a misinterpretation that flew under the radar until 1999, when two scholars picked up on the translation of one Latin word that had been overlooked: quatenus, which means “insofar”, not unless.

    To Hoek, this makes all the difference. Rather than describing how an object maintains its momentum if no forces are impressed on it, Hoek says the new reading shows Newton meant that every change in a body’s momentum – every jolt, dip, swerve, and spurt – is due to external forces.

    Right, no doubt to a philosopher this makes all the difference, but we haven’t been reading it wrong. Words are transient and the result is exactly the same as Newton’s first law, but with more words. Sounds like an academic in need of a grant sensationalizing old stuff
