There isn’t a “science”. There are a ton of individual projects. Some of them are good investments and some of them are bad investments. Ultimately it’s not our money to decide how it’s spent, and if we want something that isn’t currently being studied to be studied, we have to add it on. Really, considering how little % of the economy we need to spend on acquiring what we need to survive, it makes sense to invest our economy into intellectual pursuits.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Would you take pills that stop you from caring about the state of the world?
3·1 day agoTo an extent my brain already does that. The most I’ve done is join a protest that marches a few streets and back. Like, I’m not picking up my life and dedicating to helping those people. I’m just mildly upset and concerned while still trying to accumulate wealth and skills to improve my employment.

You mean the crimes where everyone walked away alive??? Seriously, with no other explanation, I have to assume the cop murdered this person because they were too lazy to tackle him. There’s zero other reason to shoot.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does asking yourself “Where would I have put that?” work for you?
2·2 days agousually if I left keys/phone/wallet in my pants pocket on the floor, that’ll work.
but most of the time, it’s somewhere random that I would never think of.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Those of you who cut off all comms with your parents, what would it take to mend things and reestablish contact?
10·2 days agoI am low contact, but she is way too mentally ill to have positive relationships with people. I sympathize that she can’t control it, but it’s kind of like asking me to put my hand on a stove to please someone else. I truly gain nothing but unpleasant feelings from being around her. I feel nothing but aversion to the thought of being around her. Even as a child I avoided her.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you do a lot of meal prep for your lunches at work, what do you do?
1·2 days agoIt just doesn’t bug me to eat the same thing all week, and I’d certainly rather cook less than more. Salads and sandwiches might be good for you, because you can change the fillings.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it worse to be hurt by an enemy, or be inadvertently hurt by someone that is supposed to love you?
41·2 days agoThat’s the point. Negligent actions often aren’t intentional. You can be negligent and not intend to harm someone. Not knowing things you should have known is hurtful.

376·3 days agoWow. There was just zero reason for him to say anything. Nobody is accusing Fortnite of being unsafe for kids. And he chose to say that. For himself.
Extremely common. I got into this unfortunate habit of hitting post and then editing typos afterward, and I think it increased the amount I do it by a lot.
My dad is still working on accepting that I’m not going to be able to work an enjoyable job in my life lol.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which language is the hardest to train an ai on? so suppose we make a website out of that language, would the ai not understand anything?
14·5 days agoThe AI doesn’t understand anything in any language. It’s just putting words in order by their association.
standard American big weekly trip + a few small trips, like a single bunch of spinach or a single carton of oat milk. American products are portioned to be family sized, so you’ve got a few days worth when you buy something.

News@lemmy.world•Woman who says she was born in Maryland released from ICE custody after 25 days
60·5 days ago“He said attorneys submitted her birth certificate and other documentation that they say proved she’s a U.S. citizen. But it still wasn’t enough to get her released from ICE custody.”
"In my years now of being an immigration attorney, I have never had to go this far for a case. What we were finally able to get and what we worked on getting was a lengthy affidavit from a medical professional, a doctor who described why the birth certificate was authentic,” Pérez said.
“Her attorneys say she remains under ICE supervision. They said the Department of Homeland Security continues to challenge in federal court the claim that she is a U.S. citizen and she still faces the threat of deportation.”
Horrifying but lines up with what happened in Chicago. They only care about what their internal data says, not facts.
