One city I lived in had a bunch of places called The original pancake House. I always like to imagine that the entire city was once the original city-sized pancake house, and they slowly knocked down that one giant original pancake House to make way for the rest of the city.
I have to ask... What is the effective difference between evolution and devolution?
Life is continuously changing due to environmental factors such as radiation changing DNA or viruses moving genes between species, and the changes that cause forms of life to die out don't continue, and the changes that cause forms of life to thrive do continue. This process is evolution, and it's an obvious consequence of living in a world that will allow you to die without breeding if you're unfit.
So effectively, all changes are evolution if the species continues to survive and reproduce. Is devolution then just evolution that doesn't move in the direction we would prefer it to move in?

Mitochondrial eve is an established theory suggesting that there is literally a single woman who all humans descend from.
Apparently human beings have an unusually similar genetic structure compared to many other species.

This guy's channel is great, and he really breaks down how to build several types of 3d game engine in ways even someone like me can understand.

I tend to agree with this.
I generally don't curate my timeline per se as a philosophical stance. I have lots of stuff I like, and lots of stuff I hate, and lots of stuff I don't really have an opinion on, and it really makes you realize the world is broader than the world presented by the algorithm, which is looking for stuff you'll either love and engage with or hate and engage with.
Even if you do curate your timeline though, it's a completely different world than the algorithm. You specifically choose what you do and do not want to see.
How many times have you told youtube you don't want to be recommended some channel or another and it waits 20 minutes and recommends it again? Apparently to big tech, no doesn't mean no.

Maybe he should use his own weapons from now on... You know, since he wouldn't want to use weapons from people he has so much contempt for...

It is the internet so you can never tell for sure, but I'm at least 80% certain would smash.
I kind of get a kick of it when I get reported. I mean, I'm the admin on my instance. The sole admin. I always like to imagine that whoever reports me thinks that I'm going to ban myself.

Wikipedia might wonder why I stopped donating every year. This sort of trash would be a good explanation.
Yes, I'm essentially agreeing with you. Even if lying might help, it's more harm than good.
Economics is a social science, so in one respect it's sort of true, but in another respect it's also sort of not.
Think about If you had a runner, and he was about to run in a race. If he had a bout of hypochondria and thought he was sick when he wasn't, then there could be a race that he could have won that he didn't.
On the other hand, if before every race you pump the runner full of PCP and tell him he's invincible, you might do really well for part of the race, but you might ignore actually getting hurt and then end up breaking your legs off.

I'm praying that after all this, the liberals and NDP are absolutely destroyed. This happened in Ontario with the provincial liberals, so it's not outside the realm of possibility. The Progressive Conservatives are sort of cucked in Ontario, but the Liberals aren't even a real political party anymore, and the NDP lost seats in the last election.
It can be done. It has happened before. It's just a matter of having someone with balls take over the Conservative Party of Canada. I put in my vote.
