I just don’t pretend 😅 Most people will get it if you’re honest and those who won’t, aren’t very good people to keep around.

You’re right. The water molecule doesn’t even consist of ions, it has covalent bonds. I dun goofed big time.

Technically molecules consist of ions, not atoms. Though now that I look it up, they’re used more or less interchangeably in English in this context.

Gets pretty deep the more you think about it. There are 0 hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water. Does that mean the sun is a negative star?

What I’m saying is, life has no meaning.

I love how every single source emphasizes it’s “single-planet”, just because it’s by Hello Games.

Cause fantasy games with dragons are famously known to all contain interstellar travel.

I kinda have the inverse with anxiety.
I don’t realize how incredibly anxious I am all the bloody time, until I have that brief rare window without it.

Depends. Some console games contain the entirety of the game. However oftentimes they still might require a system update to play, which won’t be available forever.

So yeah, you don’t really own anything.

I doubt it would tbh. It’s more or less equivalent to Nintendo shutting down the eshop, or an MMO terminating its online service.

You do not own digital games, you own a license to use a service that may or may not be provided to you.

I don’t think it’s as simple as that. Science is messy and knowing its limitations is just as important as knowing its conclusion.

Scientific opinion can and should be able to change pretty rapidly, the educational system can’t.

Besides, a cardiologist is highly unlikely to be able to reliably tell whether a neurological study’s conclusions are sound, or not. Let alone someone, who isn’t even a doctor.

To top it all up, the monetary incentives in academia are about as corrupt, as it gets. It wasn’t so long ago, when studies about how smoking tobacco isn’t actually harmful, or addictive, got published in mainstream journals (funded by the tobacco industry, of course).

The result is being taught science that was disproven 20 years ago. I think primary education should focus just as much on critical thinking as it does on learning facts at the very minimum.
