@RustyCrab @Ash @PurpCat At the very least it would kill the need for Facebook. My family used to send email post cards all the time before Facebook came into their lives.
Also, mailing lists seem to be more familiar to normies than RSS feeds, though most sites call them "newsletters" these days. There are mainly for the normies (mostly boomers) out there who out right refuse to use social media. I'd rather have businesses, celebrities, etc priorities those (along with blogs) over social media.

>It says a lot they'd also rather use e-mail over the fedi.
Honestly, that's good for them. Most people would probably benefit from a social media detox where they don't have a constant news feed shoved into their face 24/7. Just wait until they learn that it's possible to send an email to multiple recipients at once.
@charliebrownau @OldM8 @TylerAbeoJordan@liberdon.com I've watched the video and kept an open mind, but I have some rebuttals.
1. The Antarctic Treat does not prevent civilians from stepping foot in Antarctica. It prevents governments, corporations, organizations, and private citizens form using it for things like building military bases, mining, dumping waste, etc. The treaty is publicly viewable online. Nowhere does it mention that you are not allowed to step foot without a permit. There are some places that are off-limits without a permit, but most of it is visit-able by anyone. There are plenty of private cruises that can take you to Antarctica and private expeditions happen there all the time. And no, the Antarctica Peninsula isn't the only place you can visit.

2. He does the whole high-zoom camera trick. When it comes to planets, he's not doing it properly. You need to turn off autofocus and set the correct exposure, planets should look like planets. You can also just view planets using a regular telescope and binoculars, and you can clearly see that stars and planets are not the same thing. I used to look at Saturn through binoculars all the time as a kid. It has always looked like Saturn. I could even see the rings.

3. Salinity in the water cannot be the reason why tides only happen in oceans. There are bodies of water with a higher salinity than the ocean's average like the Dead Sea, Red Sea, the Great Salt Lake, and no tides ever occur there or do occur but are much smaller than the ocean tides (small tides still occur in fresh water lakes too). The only explanation is that lakes are smaller than oceans and are not interconnected, so water cannot flow from one side to another.
4. Buoyancy cannot be the reason why things fall to the ground. You can drop objects in a vacuum chamber (there are small ones available for home use). Objects still fall even though there is no medium surrounding them. What causes them to fall? It must be a force.

5. The existence of static electricity does not disprove the existence of gravity. It's possible for both forces to co-exist. You might as well say the magnetic forces also don't exist and they are just static electricity. In both
cases of static charges causing objects to float or fall faster, it can be said that the forces of static electricity are stronger than the force of gravity.
6. As for the MIT "Silent Drone", yes it is done through static electricity, but it's a method known as "ionic winds" which is just using static electric charges to create airflow. In other words, it's using static electricity to blow air, just like a fan.

Now, just because I don't think the Earth is flat doesn't mean that I 100% believe what NASA, ESA, SpaceX, etc are saying. I'm pretty sure that they hide and lie about a lot of things. I don't think the moon landings happened for one, but just from these observations alone, I'm pretty confident that the Earth is round.
@charliebrownau @OldM8 @TylerAbeoJordan@liberdon.com Also, how is lying about the shape of the Earth supposed to benefit the Jews in particular?
@charliebrownau @OldM8 @TylerAbeoJordan@liberdon.com If the Earth is flat, you should be able to listen to any FM station anywhere in the world. FM signals go in a straight line, and no matter how powerful the signal is, you can only broadcast at a ~50 mile radius. The only logical explanation is that the Earth's curvature causes the signals to go off into space. I have yet to hear any flat-earther's explanation for this.
@82ba209aa75724c72afd56d5fe3f11674c621a7679ebd0dee6871524fb22e85e @lanodan Shut the fuck up, you fucking bee molester! Not once have I ever claimed to be a social darwinist. You only claim that I am because of my right-libertarian views.
And stop abusing the term "genocide". Eventually you are going to piss the wrong people off and an actual genocide will happen.
@hachi @ArdainianRight It's FREEWARE. I'm not even taking donations at the moment.
@ArdainianRight Except for this one. Too bad you are a console peasant.
@OldM8 @TylerAbeoJordan@liberdon.com But I want to explore the stars.
@Indigo GET RID OF THAT COMMUNIST BOTTLE!!!
@hachi @ArdainianRight @matana He is just trying to prevent your genocide of autistic children.
discriminatory/uninclusive software terms
@tusooa @lanodan None of these words are bad. The whole black meaning "evil" and white meaning "good" comes from the black vs white magic dichotomy which originated from AFRICAN tribes. There is also nothing bad about master/slave. Not all slavery was racial. The Romans enslaved people regardless of race. Slave also comes from "Slavic" (i.e Russian, Ukrainian, Balkan, etc) and I never hear anyone complain about their enslavement.
>im not sure why "sanity" is bad wording
Because it's "discriminatory towards the mentally ill". They have a word for that. They call it "sanism".
@matana @hachi @ArdainianRight You should've reminded him that his people were involved in a genocide that even shocked the Nazis.
@lanodan
Honestly, when it's just text, it's hard to tell if people are being sarcastic, serious, or whatever because you can't hear tone or see facial cues. You lose a lot of context when it's just text.
I just have a bad experience was the "autism rights" activists. Some of the organizations they tell you to support instead of Autism Speaks are the ones that tell you that it's "ableist" to use words like "stupid", "crazy", and "dumb". I also hate how some don't like it when you say "Asperger's Syndrome" because Hans Asperger was probably a eugenicist. Guess what, so was Alexander Graham Bell. A lot of inventions and discoveries are from abhorrent people.
And it's drama like that leads to further (unnecessary) policing of language. It's shit like this why we have CoCs and banning of terms like "sanity check".
@lanodan
>You need to inform yourself more on the subject, specially when it comes to autistic *adults* aka people that either learned the hard way by themselves
That's literally me. I'm autistic and learned on my own to pass as neurotypical. As a kid, my mom took me to a lot of programs for autistic people. Many of the adults there said that they couldn't believe that I was autistic. There were pre-teens acting like toddlers. The autism spectrum is more than just simply Asperger's (I'm calling it that despite the atrocities Han's Asperger may have done) and sever autism. There is shit in between. You and I are clearly less severe than Chris Chan who is unable to learn. I agree that Chris Chan is a disgrace to the autistic community and probably has other conditions like personality disorders, but he is clearly autistic.
>therapy (not "treatment" there is no relevant drugs/surgery/whatever, in a way because there's nothing to really fix, but more things to learn)
That's what I meant. I'll admit that I used the wrong word there.
