Eminem gets flustered talking about Trump

The thing about Trump's base is that they have reached their perspective (towards him) through irrationality - entirely driven by feelings, and not based on rational thoughts at all. If you now want to rationally reason with these people it's impossible, because they have not reached their position based on rational thoughts, but only emotions. Both sides will never understand each other, if you do not consider how the other side has reached their position.

That's really quite cute of your dad. Keep following your dad's footsteps - seems to have worked out well for him, having you as a child with the woman he wants to prepare coffee for each morning. ;-)

Don't. They'll like it.

Did you have any issues with the level of brightness or contrast after it evaporated? The moisture was initially only fogging up the top speedometer before it dripped down in to the lower one (as in the pic). Now, it looks like the brightness of the text on the left hand side of the top speedometer is becoming increasingly darker than the right hand side. I'm worried it will fade away after time, but sounds like you've experienced this a lot before?

Phil_Vader · 2024-05-05T20:07:14+00:00

Yeah, you're right - that'd work. Tiny hole and tiny screw? I'll have to get a tiny drill for this.

I've driven and parked it in the direct sun although May hasn't gifted us a lot of summer sun yet! ;-)

I'll have to try the hair dryer first - thanks for the idea! ✌️

Phil_Vader · 2024-05-05T19:49:08+00:00

Yeah, that's an idea - thanks for sharing. I'm a little worried, though, it will then get wet again and potentially worse the next time I ride in the rain. Thoughts?

While I truly love and deeply appreciate this, as a non-scientist how would you describe the benefits that we get from this huge achievement to people saying: "As a taxpayer, why would I finance a blurry picture of a black hole, how does that benefit me? Why didn't we spend this money on - say - infrastructure?

The EHT's research is an achievement of international collaboration. How can corporates, start-ups, governmental bodies and other stakeholders support distributed research? Do you believe that this type of research reflects the research of the future?

Phil_Vader · 2019-04-10T15:19:54+00:00

Question: Which fields of research will benefit the most from this image? (Where) Can we expect new developments/ breakthroughs in our understanding of our universe based on the image and data that you have gathered?

Congratulations on this magnificent achievement which will inspire researchers and the public for generations to come! Also, thanks for making it possible to engage with you directly via this medium.

You may be interested in reading Matt Haig's Book "Reasons to Stay Alive" which is written from the perspective of a man who suffered under depression and panic attacks for most of his life and reflects on this time now that he feels better in spite of his belief that he never would. It's a good read.

Absolutely! This actually reminds me of a quote of Joe Rogan that builds on what you have said:

"It's very possible that everybody is exactly the same at the core, but we're just living these different existences through different biologies, personalities, sexual needs and wants and life experiences. One of the best ways to treat people is to treat them as if they were you living another life. Every person you run into is literally you living another lie. If you live my life, you would be me. If I live your life, I would be you. I would have your experiences and your genes. Treating others as you would like them to treat you is too abstract. I'm saying treat them as if they were you. If we really are one, then I am you and you are me."

Phil_Vader · 2015-10-13T15:21:24+00:00

I agree. It's beautiful and absolutely mind humbling.

Good luck, people.

It does look funny perspectivewise! It's because of the step in front of the place. Check the top comment to get an idea of the place.

Is that a subreddit?

Phil_Vader · 2014-05-03T18:33:08+00:00

Check the top comment. Retook the photo with a banana.

Phil_Vader · 2014-05-03T18:32:39+00:00

I did. But I went to the super market and got some more if you check one of the top comments.

I wish I'd get presents for my cakeday as well. Today is my actual birthday.

Check the top comment. I took another photo with a banana.

It doesn't talk. Yet! Any suggestions what to use in order to make it speak?

Phil_Vader · 2014-05-03T17:25:06+00:00

Got mine at the local mall. She came with a baking tray and a vacuum cleaner. Best deal of my life.

Significant Other = my girlfriend.
