This is deeply wrong, but it's an interesting *kind* of wrong.
Our perception of the past telescopes: there's the recent past, what we remember; the middle past, what our parents and grandparents remember; the long past, out of living memory but still preserved in familiar stories; and everything else. As I've said before, a lot of Americans' idea of *human* #history seems to go roughly as follows:
1. #Cavemen.
2. #Pyramids.
3. #Jesus.
4. Robin Hood and King Arthur.
5. #Columbus and #pirates.
6. #Pilgrims and George Washington.
7. #Cowboys.
8. World War Two. (One must have happened somewhere?)
9. #Hippies and #Vietnam.
10. The real world begins with the momentous event of my birth.
Nor is this uniquely an American problem—some places have better educational systems than others, but I think people everywhere hold similar mythologized versions of world events leading uniquely and inevitably to their own central place in the world.
So here's an extreme version of the same phenomenon applied to natural history. Most reasonably educated people have some idea that not all prehistoric animals lived at the same time (although poor #Dimetrodon is forever going to be mixed in with #dinosaurs) but they do tend to lump enormous spans of time together: #mammoths and #sabertooths, before that all dinosaurs all at once, and before that ... I dunno ... jellyfish or something.
#Creationists, of course, turn it up to 11.
@realcaseyrollins Honestly anyone who spends more than 100$ on a pair of pants (not counting formal wear) is out of their mind :)
@alecui After a few minutes of looking I'm at a complete loss as to what is happening... I can always delete the project for you but that wont solve the problem.
Would you be ok filing this as a bug so we can see if the people at gitlab.com can help?
@alecui ok looking now
@alecui sorry caps lock
@alecui GIVE ME AN HOUR GOT CAUGHT UP IN SOMETHING
@deonandan By the way I am speaking partly from my expiernce spending a lifetime in R&D and having invented quite a few small breakthroughs myself throughout the years.
@deonandan I think it is fundemntally impossible for it to be any other way.. yes small groups of people usually do work on innovations, but each leap is not a single step but many smaller steps along the way. Each and every one of those steps start with an idea and a breakthrough from one person in the group, at first they are the only one who knows it (before sharing witht he group) and thus at a fundemental level every advancement, every step, starts with one scientist.
the difference is in a group setting with lots of scientists the steps are smaller and all the scientists are participating by contributing those steps.. but they are still, iun the end, singular realizations.
@alecui can you give me an example repo, ill look now
@deonandan every si gle new idea starts with a si gle scientist being right, at least before the idea spreads (which may hapoen very rapidly)... so id say not only is this accurate but it is true for virtually every step along the way.
@alecui i never used gitlab cli for this... when you do it via the web what happens?
1) Who said property damage, we are talking about excessive violence, and more than property was caught in the cross hairs of that.
2) As a native american myself and thus a member of a minority, NO! violence against tens of thousands of innocent people that had nothing to do with the events in no way even remotely makes sense.
@rudyschwartz@dobbs.town
Agreed, the murder that sparked the riots is a criminal injustice, and I am happy about the fact that the cop who did it got jail time...
That said the destruction and violence int he riots are no less immoral because of it.
@rudyschwartz@dobbs.town
@IAmErik It came from a thread/conversation earlier that day.. To summarize I basically said "Yes masks do reduce the spread of the disease, but dont ever expect them to eliminate it, COVID is likely here to stay"... they were very beligerant because I dared to suggest masks might not be perfect.... basically it was a generally science informed stance (masks do have an effect) but it lacked nuance (rejected the idea that masks arent so effective as to be a cure)
@MrsDi what a cutie. Reminds me of my first oet, Smokey
