According to George Gamow, counting is just pairing quantities one-to-one. So pairing one sheep to one pebble would be considered counting to Georgie.
Yo, I have no idea. I'm starting to believe that a lot of these anti-American accounts are Russian trolls. They're so unnecessarily antagonizing and hypocritical. Of all political entities in the world to criticize someone else... Europe? EUROPE? Let's take a look at the hypocrisy.
The US is racist!
- Hmmm, I wonder who even came up with the idea of races?
The US had slavery!
- Umm, who started that slavery?
- Who captured and enslaved the Africans?
- Who brought them over and sold them across all of the Americas?
The US supports the genocide of Palestine!
- Ok, who gave that land to Zionists and why? What was the reason, hmm? And why Palestinian land??
The US spends too much on military and not enough on social welfare!
- Yeah, who's going to save those fantastic EU welfare programs from Putin?
- Btw, where are European countries buying their fancy high-tech military equipment from?
- Who built those F-16s that European countries donated to Ukraine?
- Why doesn't the EU build its own military-industrial complex then?
The US invaded Iraq!
- Who drew up the lines of the Middle East to ensure permanent conflict?
- Did someone forget Polend?
The US is belligerent!
- Odd, because I don't think they started WWI nor WWII. Who was it?
The US dropped atomic bombs!
- Crazy, but what was Europe doing instead of sending troops to invade Japan?
The US has terrible healthcare!
- Interesting. Who is the leading researcher in medical interventions?
- Who subsidizes the world's medications research and development so the rest of the world can brag about buying that shit wholesale and using generics a few years behind?
The US thinks too highly of itself!
- Of all the continents, which continent isn't even a continent?
The US is too religious!
- Remind me again, what were the Crusades?
- And, why did so many Europeans even move to the US to begin with?
- Can someone point on a map to where the head of Catholic Church is, please?
As far as I can tell, Europe starts shit and the US is left cleaning up the mess. Then, Europe talks shit about the US for trying to fix the problems it creates while they sit over there basking in the resources they extracted. WTF is that?
Extra: Texas is stupid for wanting to leave the union!
- If Texas leaves (it won't), should we follow the established naming convention and call it Texit?
Edit: WHY THE FUCK DOES THE US EVEN EXIST??
Is cops being evil/lazy/incompetent a USA specific thing, or is it the same everywhere in the world?
Go to Central America and see what you think about American cops then.
That was a good video
Oh for sure. I'm ready in case they pick me to go back in time and push human technology forward.
Other than that? I can’t think of anything, but maybe I’m ignorant.
According to this guy, some parts of African language were preserved and adapted in certain groups.
They have not admitted that it was wrong what they were doing
This is a straight up lie.
- There was a civil war about it. It was the most costly war for the country in terms of lives.
- There was an amendment to the US Constitution about it.
- The President at the time that slavery was ended is considered to be in the top 3 of the country's history.
- There's a federal holiday to memorialize a civil rights leader. There are parades across the country on this day.
- There are museums and exhibits all over the country on this topic.
- There are tons of documentaries and shows on it.
This is such a blatant lie, that I don't even know what to say.
Well, as a European (i.e. good person), let me welcome you to the developed world. We're not snobby or greedy pigs like the Americans that invented Nazis. In fact, no country in Europe has ever looked down upon another country, continent, or people. We've also never colonized any countries nor do we conduct joint military exercises and operations with the US, and we definitely do not benefit from the US's foreign policy and interventions. All of our luxuries are home grown and have never been the result of our brutal exploitation of other countries that resulted in horrific dictatorships, genocides, and ongoing conflict. If I remember correctly from my free history class, we have never even been to war at all. Btw, we have real history over here. Yours only goes back 200 years and has nothing at all to do with ours. What do you guys even talk about in history classes? lol!
There is absolutely no crime here in Europe, only healthcare. The other day on our superior mass-transit system, my friend was held at stethoscope-point by a criminal that alerted him that he had a heart murmur. I actually get a free diagnosis every morning. I have like 78 km of diagnoses written on superior A4 paper. We're also very cultured as we speak several languages, all European but still very cultured. There's absolutely no racism or oppression. All of my roommates have been Roma, Arabic, or African. My neighborhood has scheduled to protest for more minarets all week since the government makes sure we have enough vacation days to insist on diversity.
Our food is so organic that it's composed of only carbon. That's it. When you go to a restaurant, the waiters pick their most European customers every metric hour and gives them money. That's right; our waiters tip us. We recycle everything and have never contributed in any fashion to climate change, and we have never supported Putin for decades by purchasing Russian gas. We're in no way upset that we contributed less to NATO than we agreed to, depended on the US to save our asses while we enriched Putin, and now are wondering wtf we're going to do since we don't have shit for a military nor our own fuel supply.
It's about time you leave the US, who is 100% at fault for everything in the world and absolutely not an ally that serves as a scapegoat to compare ourselves against in order to distract from our bullshit.
Edit: I forgot to mention that our chocolate is superior, and there is absolutely no child labor involved anywhere in the production line.
Yeah, they paid off so many NOAA employees, that they don't even have enough people to send up the weather balloons. Can't even properly predict the weather since we can't collect the data, let alone analyze it and make predictions.

Finding a flight that doesn't serve peanuts might improve the probability of avoiding an allergic reaction, but a passenger could easily board the flight with their own peanuts. According to OP, the epi pens only give them 20 mins to get to a hospital, which is not within reach when flying over the Pacific Ocean. It might not even be within reach when flying over land considering landing procedures for an airliner.
According to the label on the bottle, 50 x 1,400 mg soft gels of Kirkland Signature Wild Alaskan Fish Oil will hit 100% of recommended daily fat in take based on a 2,000 calorie diet, though you might eventually overdose on vitamin A (as retinol).

I dreamt with Trump last night. There was a lot of friend chicken.
I dreamt that I was hired as part of the team to help Trump hold a rally at place with several warehouses. My job was to go around between warehouses making sure everything was in order and people knew how to get from the main warehouse to the fried chicken warehouse which was about three warehouses down.
The thing was that Trump's show of extravagance for this event was fried chicken. He ordered so much fried chicken that the chicken was kept and served in a separate warehouse so attendants had to walk between the warehouses and see that the boundaries of the pathways were lined with fried chicken. Yes, the edges of asphalt walkway between the main entrance warehouse and the food serving warehouse were sited with fried chicken quarters (leg and thigh). During the prep, it was daytime and the workers were all friendly with each other. Once the event began, it became night time and the workers stayed socially distant. But get this...despite the insane amount of fried chicken that
Anyone have crazy adverse reactions to ADHD meds from a specific manufacturer?
I've been taking dexmethyl extended release for a bit with no problems. Works great. We decided to tray a higher dose. To do so, we needed pills with smaller doses rather than one huge one. That caused me to change pharmacies due to availability. Same medication, different pharmacy.
1st day
- Same dose as before, just in several smaller dosed pills.
- A bit tired in the afternoon. I stay in my room. I get take out.
2nd day
- 10 mg more than regular
- I drive out to town. On the way back, I feel like I couldn't care about anything. I had to repeat to myself in my head what I wanted to say for like a min before saying it. I stop at Costco and everyone felt like floating entities in a universe-sea that I was swim-walking through. It was like I was playing a very realistic 1st-person Grand Theft Auto, except I'm not a psychopathic car thief and serial killer; instead, I ate a slice of pizza and got some Ensures. Coming back home, I stop to get a coffee to help with the drive
What are some possible enjoyable morning activities to remedy the delayed circadian rhythm?
My 28-hours circadian cycle jacks me up. I am dragging ass in the morning. I will get up at 5:30 with the Sun and not do anything beside doom scroll for hours. I might get up to brush my teeth around 9:00, maybe start living the day around 11:00. This is with meds. I'm trying to start a morning routine that gets me going. The basic tasks are:
- Have something planned to look forward to
- Wake up same time everyday with curtains open for light
- Make the bed
- Brush teeth
- Morning check in with a friend
- Positive/enjoyable morning activities
It is at #6 where I could use some help because everything besides laying down in quiet with headphones on and looking at pointless superficial stuff on the internet seems like it is too much effort. Food is repulsive in the morning, so no breakfast. I also need to be near a restroom for the first few hours in the mornings. Any recommendations?
Is there a smooth term for being ADHD?
Like autistic people get to be autistic. That's a word, and it has meaning. Someone can be autistic because it's a type of person (spectrumy type). In my opinion, ADHD sucks as an identifying term. It's 3 letters, one repeated. It means nothing as it is spelled and can't be owned as an identity because they're letters, not a word. "I'm adhudd." The initials include "disorder" in it. That sucks. Autistic people don't go around saying, "Hi, I'm austically disordered," cause that's not accepting. Is there a term that is smooth and not judgmental for ADHD? Maybe we can take Aspergers since it got dropped, but add the 'd' to get "Adspergers". Nah, that's stupid af. What about multibrained? I feel multibrained because I act like I've got multiple brains running in my head doing their own thing all at the same time, and I bounce around them based on who knows what.
What? Oh, yes...I'll have the spaghetti bolog-knees. Do you guys have red pepper...crushed red pepper? Yeah, th
Anyone ever look at pictures of themselves as a child and feel no connection to them?
It's like your looking at pictures of a kid you vaguely recognize but can even remember them. "Where do I know that kid from??"
What's with the recent (last 6-12 months) increase in professional and social media with USA and China antagonized against each other?
There's the whole TikTok thing, talk about EV cars, and now DeepSeek. I know I've heard my own stuff too, but I want to see what other people are hearing and seeing?
In the dark, does anyone else sense things but not see them?
You somehow magically sense something there through your eyes, but you don't see it at all. It's stronger if you don't look at it directly and move your head about a little. It's like there's an unconscious observer reporting where things are, and you just take the info and acknowledge it, but you don't see it. Anyone else get this?
Those of you that have had encounters with wild mountain lion, what happened and what was it like?
Edit: So what I'm gathering is that they're not so dangerous that they will strike out of nowhere, and people need to be alert of their surroundings constantly. They almost always get seen if there is going to be an interaction, and the vast majority of the time just walk away. Is this correct?
Do sunrise and sunset objectively look different or do they just feel different?
I find that sunrise has a more white and blue look to it, while sunset has more of a red and orange look. Is that really what they look like, or is it because of some personal bias, such as comparing sunrise to the darkness just before it and sunset to the bright blue sky?

Requesting approval for the creation of a community: LemmyHatesUSA
Never mind. I don't want to deal with it. I got excited for a little, but after sitting on it for a while, I realize that I rather not. Sorry and thanks!
Anyone getting suspicious of the divisiveness and anti-American circle jerk on Lemmy?
Lemmy has a strong tendency to criticize the US, and a lot of the critiques of certain issue with the US are valid. However, I started getting really tired of opening comment sections in innocuous and non-political posts only to see that someone somehow found a way to criticize the US in it. At first, I started thinking that maybe some Lemmy users are really unhappy and find criticizing a something stronger helped them feel better as if standing up to injustice was a passion of theirs. But, we don't see them do that with other targets, just the US. The more I notice and think about it, I'm starting be suspicious that some of those users and comments aren't authentic, but made to create divisiveness in the West and reject the US entirely. In other words, they may be Russian, Chinese, et al. agents working to feed a stream of propaganda in order to further cause chaos and lack of unity in the West as we have seen them do before.
Anyone else think about this?
This is what I'm thi
I don't want to have tons of subscriptions to read interesting news
I understand that effective journalism costs money to produce, proficient journalists should get and will go where they are paid, and sites need funds to maintain their operations. All that makes sense. However, I don't read one website I use Lemmy and internet searches to find news I'm interested in reading. I maybe go to the same paywalled news site twice a week at most, but rarely if ever quarce a month. It would make no sense for me to have a subscription to any paywalled news site even if I wanted to spend money. I have no option other than to use proxies, assume the article from others' comments, or just read the title.
The internet news media system sucks, but I don't see a solution.
