I watch way too much YouTube, but it sounds like you are describing a microblogging platform…

I just follow people that provides me quality, I’ve never experienced any upload war.

Our equivalent is nuclear radiations.

You see, as a nuclear physicist…

I HATE their mom! She’s the worst!

Another common argument is that it’s very resource intensive and wastes energy. This is true, but there’s no reason to believe this won’t be optimized. In fact, we’ve already seen a lot of optimizations happen in just a few years that now make it possible to run models that used to require a data centre to run on a laptop.

On the matter of “collectible”, how is it even ontologically sound to “collect” things that are expressily produced as collectibles? You collect things, coins, paintings, stamps, phone cards, even gaming cards. All things that exist in their own merit that you choose to collect, usually giving them value according to their accidental rarity.

With this shit you are not collecting, you are just purchasing.

Communism.

I don’t play Civ VI and I don’t rule a country so I can’t speak from experience.

Well that escalated quickly.

You can rephrase it in lighter terms as “how much is enought military funding?”

You would probably just start disliking what they manipulate you into disliking, instead of what you actively discover as wrong.

Unless you cut all social contact, that is.

At birth.

The necessity for an army.

So you don’t know enough to navigate the news therefore you’d rather know a little?

Isn’t it better to know a lot so you can navigate news and everything else properly?

Obsidian with calendar plugin here.

including those yet to exist.

That, believe it or not, is jail.

Yes.

Let’s simplify the “riddle”.

It states: a number is 1 plus half that number.

What is a quantity that added to “half a number” gives the number? What do you add to 0,5 to make 1?

The other half.

So we go back to the original statement: “a number is 1 plus half that number” and change it to “a number is half that number plus half that number”.

If you go back and forth between the two you may notice that one the one side there is “1” and on the other “half that number”.

$1 is half the cost, what is the total cost?

We leave the last step to the readers.

Something plus half the price is the full price.

So something is half the price as well.

1 is half the price.

I work with engineers, a senior likes to ask the same question to people on their first day (how much does a brick weight that weight 1Kg plus half the brick) and I shit you not these people second guess themselves all the time.

Given, it’s probably the pressure of being new to the job and having this guy put you on the spot, but I find this “riddle” really really easy so, maybe, go get that degree?

Yes.
