And it’s far out, man.
I was like, wait a minute, that’s a really fast reply. But then noticed you actually wrote that 3 min ago. Which confirms I wasn’t just making up my memorised about this in the other comment! Yayy, Thanks
It’s impressive that you could.
I agree, and am honestly worried about it. It’s mostly to due with me occasionally having seizures and blackouts as well as having literally no life, so yeah, it’s kinda worrying sometimes when I feel like I can’t remember what happened a few days before.
Iirc this is some how about the guy needing to activate the dimension hopping thing or something. After you named them movie I got a little memory where the main character is very stressed that he needs to do that, but not for like personal enjoyment, but because it triggers the weird switching thing? Something along those lines? I can sometimes rouse the memories if someone reminds me, but then again I don’t know if I’m just making up bullshit as I go along.
And as someone who used to have great intuition, this is very bad for me. It’s like when they “proved” to House in House MD that he’d gotten one wrong and then he lost all his confidence. Except I have gotten a few wrong and need to improve my memory before I can get trust in my intuition back.
Oh yeah I’ve seen it when it came out. It was good though, apparently I’ve forgotten this scene.
I watch so much media that unless I’ve watched something several times, I can’t really recall anything that’s like older than two years.
Hell I’ve started rewatching all the previous seasons of the shows I watch as well. My brain isn’t as young as it used to be, going downhill already.
I’m having a hard time seeing how you’re not seeing how.
Well at least that’s a flared base.
But, uhm… context?
The point I’m making is that I believe that people who have mac skills will need to also learn Windows skills just because it’s so much more commonplace.
Just like lefties can be more empathetic on scale, because they have to face the disappointment of things not being designed for them (us, but I’m more mixed-handed than pure lefty).
It’s not about the orientation of the hand, but the phenomena surrounding having to orient your hand / use a certain hand in a certain way.
Just like I don’t believe that Mac as an OS is inherently changing the kids significantly.
Please do apply adequate scientific rigor here!
And to be fair, I don’t really know anyone who’s only ever used a mac for those exact reasons. We had a few kids in graphic design school be like “well I mostly use Mac as my personal computer is a mac”, so they weren’t as used to using Windows, since they hadn’t done it since school.
Like if you compared the linguistic capacity of people in the US, I’m pretty sure that no matter what you choose as the primary language, those kids will still know English (as we’re talking about USA here), and if they know English, then they’re at least bilingual, which has a lot of cognitive benefits. But you wouldn’t be saying that specifically speaking some specific other language makes the kids smarter.
Some languages might give certain advantages, like say some aboriginal language which doesn’t have left/right but always uses cardinal directions. Due to them doing that it’s insanely hard to confuse their inner sense of direction, even if you chuck them if a van and drive them around blindfolded.
So I’m not saying using Macs can’t have some such small specific advantage, but I doubt it, and think it’s just general adaptation skills, which do correlate with positive cognitive development.

Oh, so you’re just reconfirming you don’t speak English. Ok. Best of luck, we can try again in a few years. I can link you some Simple English channels if you’d like?
And you’re wrong.
Just because some niche unit uses metric prefixes doesn’t mean that that unit is “in the metric system” as language is used.
Learn to use language pls.
Weird how when you open that “metric system” link your pedantry is nowhere to be seen, almost as if by and large “metric” refers to the SI-system, isn’t it? Oh I’m sorry, you can’t answer that with “yes”, because it would mean that you stop pretending like you don’t know what I mean, which you simply can’t do.
Lol, you’re the one who’s arguing youre right, despite me clearly stressing that I know that if we’re superanal pedants you could technically make the argument that “metric system” can also refer to non-SI units which use decimal prefixes.
That a lone doesn’t mean you we’re right. See that “metric system” link there? Give it a click, would you, and then rethink on who’s being pedantic.
You haven’t told me anything interesting. I’m well aware of things like the attempt of France to change the time to powers a decimal system as well. They didn’t. Time is still in SI-units and that system is colloquially known as THE METRIC SYSTEM.
Like I said, you’re not exactly wrong, per se. (But you definitely are now, being such an annoying pedant while ignoring the very simple points I made.)
So you’re just gonna ignore everything that’s not inline with what you’re saying? Yawn. Perhaps try rereading my comments.
Automakers using a unit doesn’t make it metric.
He also has a very iconic voice, I’m sure you’ve heard it somewhere in your lifetime.
Colloquially “metric” means the SI-system though. It’s not all prescriptively correct terms. Hell, even the name isn’t, as the French and English couldn’t
So I’m not goanna say your wrong per se. But you’re not exactly right either
What are you on about? The metric unit for power is the Watt
I’ve heard the argument several times, yeah.
I still wouldn’t eat teflon and have slowly changed to mostly stainless steel, which is superior in cooking if you know how to use it. Gonna get myself some cast iron as well but I’d like a larger kitchen to properly start kitting out. What I want in the end is silver cookware.
The point is, your “facts” are probably more correct than science in the 50’s, but the fact is those “facts” are still essentially company propaganda to make people not panic over having eaten off of neurotoxins for 50 years.
Or like, are you so naive you don’t understand companies like DuPont lying through their teeth?
To me all these people sound exactly like the douchey “I-I can’t never eevher geth theh slightestht bhith dhrunk” guys.
Tldr just because you’re not perceptive about your own perception doesn’t mean it hasn’t been altered.
