The administrators of Beehaw, my self included, are interested in helping people such as your self. We hope to curate a space online where people feel safe. Especially underprivileged and minority individuals. On the 22nd of this month you will be a one year old Beehaw user and we are happy that you are here.

what kind of discussion do you like to see?

Ones that are respectful and kind.

feeling a bit insecure about what would be interesting to post about here on beehaw.

I’m sorry that you feel that way. My unsolicited advice would be to engage with the subject matter that interests you the most.

I beseech the ineffable universe to rain down blessings upon you and Ziggy.

Yes

Thank you for pointing this out (I have watched that video AND have been following the science). I understand where @Powderhorn@beehaw.org is coming from. However, I disagree. What TerraPower is demonstrating is, at least, a stop-gap until renewables can solve its energy storage issues. And even then, TerraPower could go much further down the road.

Congrats 🎉

I’ve always learned a great deal from your writing and I appreciate it. I believe that you have a firm grasp on interpersonal communication skills.

Interesting back story incoming. My brother and I worked at one of the best restaurants (at the time) in Greensboro NC USA. My brother’s roommate (Mike), for several years (1989 - 1992 I believe), had only a high school education. After working a shift at the restaurant, he’d return home and shut himself in his room for hours (this was almost every day). My brother inquired out of curiosity and Mike showed my brother his computer set-up and the types of digital graphics he had been working on. Mike sent a 3 dimensional application to a digital graphics arts school (I believe in Raleigh NC) and was immediately accepted. After easily completing this program of study (Mike was highly gifted and driven), he was snatched up by the company that developed Myst. He went from barely scraping by to making a substantial amount of money in the field he dreamed to work in.

As far as the argument against the argument for your point, the logical argument was complete in the first paragraph:

the academic community has failed to produce any negative relationship between video games and real life.

I have not been able to find any evidence that would support the claims of talking heads, etc.

My other son is ‘on the spectrum’ and is a joy with all of his uniqueness.

Still having lots of fun playing Diablo 4 Season 4. Got a necromancer and a barbarian to 100. Now, I’m leveling up a sorcerer.

you’re an idiot

Name-calling isn’t nice. Remember to be(e) nice at Beehaw. Consider this a warning.

Still having lots of fun with Diablo 4 season 4.

Thanks.

Season 4 has been the best so far. They made a lot of improvements to the game. It’s the most fun I’ve had with Diablo 4.

Diablo 4 season 4

What do you want? Do you want to see more posts/comments?

Beehaw is, specifically, curated for those who want high quality rather than a dumpster fire of trolls and assholes.

So, quality vs quantity.

Yeah, critical thinking is an important skill to have. Sadly, there is a very low percentage of people (specifically, in the USA) that have it.

I’m approximating that around 98% of the news media, here in the USA, are biased and/or propaganda. The first year of my university education taught me how to separate fact from opinion. What if you don’t go to university? How do you learn critical thinking? I have a college friend that I’ve known for almost thirty years. He has a masters degree in finance and he is a certified public accountant. However, when it comes to USA politics, he has been completely brainwashed by the media. He is one of those MAGA nut-jobs.

Having second hand accounts of anything is, certainly, unreliable. I wish more people could have, at least, one experience that fell outside of what we know from science. Unbelievably, I’ve had several of these. I’d say about five that I cannot explain using the best of our scientific knowledge.

I have had many years of formal training and education under the umbrella of science and the scientific method. This requires both skepticism and questioning.

When I say that I am open minded about subjects such as NDE, OBE and the like I mean that I’m using the aforementioned.

Obviously, science does not have the answers to everything. Science still questions everything while, at the same time, acknowledges that there is much more to know.

I have had several experiences, so far in life, that I cannot explain using what we know from science. For, at least, the past decade I’ve felt much more comfortable and inspired with more questions than I have answers.

Science and/or the scientific method is a tool. A tool that has been developed by humans. But that’s all that it is.

As with religion, I will not hold science up on a pedestal.

I read the article and I’m, fairly, open minded about subjects such as this (as well as OBE, NDE, Remote Viewing, etc).

What do you think/feel about this subject in particular?

‘Traumatic’ just means emotionally distressing. He was disappointed. He wasn’t harmed.
