Please tell me, scientifically, why you are so sure that people of faith are wrong?

Because they all offer competing and mutually exclusive hypotheses.

Christianity tells us that the one true path to salvation is by accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour.

Hinduism tells us that our next life will take place in this world, based on our actions in this life.

Islam tells us that Mohammed is the one true prophet.

Buddhism says that there are no prophets, enlightenment only comes from within.

They make contradictory claims, so by definition they can’t all be right, and they typically claim that they are correct and the other explanations are false, so even if one religion is correct, the rest (comprising of the majority of the faithful) must be wrong.

Churches are for-prophet though

Things like “MP approves funding for new hospital” don’t make headlines. Even moreso for any world headlines to rise above the din of American politics it usually has to be something pretty outrageous.

Check out Silverstone cases, they have a few that are understated, and make them in a variety of form factors if you wanted to do, say, a custom NAS, server or media center build.

Life’s pretty good here in Australia. No neighbours on the border causing problems, weather is generally good, lots of wide open empty nature to get out of the city, average salary is $93k and unemployment is low, crime is low. Inequality is a problem although our Gini coefficient has actually lowered recently. There’s a lot of life to enjoy, and really the endless stream of negativity is only experienced through the media, not in real life, so I switched off the TV and just focus on what’s going on around me, enjoying the people, places and activities that I like, and things feel quite positive.

Turn off the news, it’s bad for the psyche.

It’s a thing in Commonwealth countries. The origin is not really clear but these days it represents discount shopping and a big cricket match

Millions of Facebook users outnumbering previous users 100 to 1 will kill it. Oh, there’ll be more activity than ever, but it will be a sanitised corporate safe space for advertisers, where millions of normies argue about politics, with misinformation and ads sprinkled throughout.

No, he’d already left for work. Also he said he doesn’t like it when I call him that.

Pick me

Assuming that the common thread is accentuating gender characteristics to an absurd extent for attention

Aussie here. Our entire dialect is one weird idiom.

Hamburgler?

Sounds like you’re blaming customers when the business didn’t hire enough staff or implement a good app - eg; it shouldn’t be an option to set the pickup time 5 mins after ordering, and the app should give staff a way to communicate with customers

recorded data by the nature of being stored somewhere, should be made public?

The difference is that this data can already be surfaced by anyone, all they need to do is spin up a federated instance, so someone could do all the stuff outlined in the parent comment, but keep the results for themselves, or monetise it, build advertising profiles, doxx people, etc.

The data already exists, and it can already be extracted and made public (or used privately). I’m not saying throw open every database to the world, I am saying the world can already access this database, so pretending that it’s not available doesn’t stop bad actors from using it. Might as well make a public tool (that actually sounds kinda cool?) and bring awareness to it.

Honestly, why not? The data is already being recorded. At least this way it’s public and the rest of us get to interact with it. It might even scare a few people into paying attention to the information that they disclose about themselves and increase their digital hygiene.
