There is a growing problem where the people become dependent on the system. These people become sheep...their puppets.

40 % of us don't believe in evolution. 20% of us are unsure. According to Wikipedia. According to the Huffington post 42% of us don't believe in evolution.

"believe in"

That makes it sound like a faith, rather than something that can be proven (or disproven)

Well that's what most people believe here

I'm in the 40% I didn't cite

@Reviire It’s not a faith. It’s called a belief.

I don't know when these statistics were taken

I do know Wikipedia and the Huffington post cites them

Except for it to be a belief, it would have to be something you can't prove, or at least, reasonably prove.

Well I disagree

I believe things fall when I drop them

I'm forced to believe reality

Evolution just happens to be part of that

@Reviire That is correct. Evolution has not yet been proven. Where is the missing link?

I wouldn't really call something that can be proven a belief, personally. Especially when it's so easy to get mixed up in faith. *Especially* something like gravity

Well, I'm not forced. But if I didn't believe it then I'm ignorant or dissonant

I don't know, I don't really read into it nor do I care

It's not something that has an impact on my life in any concievable way for me to want to learn about it

Well, Gwench, I have to get a shower, but I can debate about this later

@Reviire With that approach how can you even know if your life doesn’t get impacted?

It's 10pm here and I've got college tomorrow

@ShadyMasterJ talk to ya later.

Sure, without having a full understanding of it I might not know if it really will impact me, but from my current stand point, I don't see any sort of benefit it would give me.

It's got pretty much no relevance to the career I want to pursue

That’s a defeatist attitude. We cannot correct it fix what we don’t acknowledge.

Is it, though? Why would I learn about something I don't care about, that has no percieved benefit to what I want to do?

I don't intend to talk about it, because I don't have full confidence in my understanding of it.

What do you want to do?

I'm going to university to get a degree in Computer Science, so hopefully work as a software engineer.

Staying the fuck away from machine learning, never touching that no sir.

Lol. Good for you. I mean, why create Skynet?

AI waifus

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

AI is fucking BS

It serves only the people that design them.

That's a pretty good thing for you

If you design one

Also relevant image

😏

What am I looking at?

Why is it relevant?

Uh some weeb thing, I think it's like alexa

but japanese

Waifu <:GWfroggyPoggers:384871751441448970>

AI waifus

😏

Did you hear about the Alexa ?

No I don't own one and I don't want to own one

It's just a shitty way to do things I can already do

Apparently it refuses to explain or recognize Jesus.

[citation needed]

I could tell you if this is true, but I don't own one

so

Ok. I need time to find it.

@The Gwench All I can find is that there was a hoax about it calling him a fictional character, and the same guy saying it's not a hoax.

Although, in the defense of Alexa, it's probably reading some random webpage

Wait why am I defending that

I believe he's a fictional character too

<:GWchadThonkery:366999788803325952>

btw Zeus > Jesus

Computer Science? There's so many IT people here. Fuck

I haven't started yet 😔

I'm going to college for Electronics Systems

@ShadyMasterJ Maybe it's just because of friend groups

I'm in a networking class rn

The only reason I'm here is because my friend invited me, who also does smart boi stuff

Learning tons of shit I already know tbh

Well... Some stuff I don't

Why must everything be in video format

Better proof

In this instance

For example. I didn't know the difference between cat 4 and 6 cables

I prefer text myself.

I'm usually watching videos or listening to something

Aside from being slower, videos kind of make me stop doing that

Videos distract me from good conversations like now.

>The second part of this video is them denying that gender (mentally) is a spectrum

Ignoring the angry feminists that no one likes

Also I discovered that I somehow managed to fuck up crimping with an EZ crimp

That's still a thing and is entirely separate from your sex, which yeah is male and female

Also yeah

@ShadyMasterJ Words I don't know the meaning of

The gender thing is not why I showed you that.

:(

I know, and honestly there's not a whole lot I can say here. I don't know enough about how Alexa works, it *could* be something Google did, but given the responses of so many other people who own an Alexa, i'm going to assume it was just whatever webpage it happened to stumble upon

Since it is just a glorified google bot

If you screw up crimping with an ez crimp, you are retarded. Actually no I just didn't have enough bare wire so it didn't cut clean enough

Crimping Ethernet cables

The cords that give you internet

Also wifi does that but you need Ethernet for desktops

Also from what I know, Jesus *isn't* fictional

He was a dude that existed

@ShadyMasterJ who are you talking to?

Not a mystical dude descended from god or anything, but he *did* exist.

I think
