Electric motors work by inducing a magnetic field with coils of wire, so I’m sure a strong enough EMP would disrupt it temporarily, but I don’t know if it would meaningfully damage anything after the EMP ceased.

Disclaimer - not an electromagnetic scientist wizard

My understanding is that EMPs are more of a concern for the tiny electronics on computers versus relatively large motors or batteries. So, an electric vehicle is still at risk, but I don’t think it’d be any more at risk than any ICE car that’s all computerized anyways.

My gut reaction would be “actions still have consequences motherfucker”, but my gut would also be to immediately remove this person from ever interacting with me again.

Sometimes, the results of something you do don’t quite match your intentions. Mistakes happen, miscommunications happen. A genuine person would respond “oh fuck, that is NOT how I meant that”, and apologize. A gaslighter does the above.

(homeopathy) n. a complementary therapy based on the theory that ‘like cures like’. It involves treating a condition with a tiny dose of a substance that in larger doses would normally cause or aggravate that condition.

No, I think they mean actual medicine my guy, based on science. If it’s “homeopathic” and it works, we just call it medicine.

🥱 cope and seethe, your downvotes mean nothing.

If you want overtly lefty stuff without the chinese government ball fondling, solarpunk is a pretty good instance, or .blahaj if you’re more interested in social/gender issues.

It is fucking hilarious for the tankieverse to blame somewhere else for being too hard on censorship lmao y’all really are something

This person unwittingly provides an excellent example of why many dislike .ml users.

that is able to

Have you and I been reading the same /r/changemyview?

More seriously, the article says nothing of actual efficacy. I don’t think most people are particularly receptive to having their mind changed through direct rhetoric on the internet, it absolutely happens but it’s not nearly as concerning as other polarizing social media behaviors.

It makes me optimistic - he’s fucking with the money. Change can happen real goddamn quick when someone starts fucking with the money.

To add, a lot of sites that “Fade into obscurity” still have active communities, they’re just not mainstream anymore.

It’s almost always “their colonizers” taking advantage of it lmao they get paid a pittance for the privilege.

Tell him to change his ways, obviously

Microsoft: your computer, my choice

How often does a solution need “new” code and not “basically the same code as a previous issue but with two small details changed”? This is a genuine question, I have only ever coded as a hobby. But 25% of your work being essentially just copy pasted sounds plausible, and that’s sorta all LLMs are doing, right?

muh libs aren’t left leaning

And you expect me to take anything you say after that seriously

They… don’t though? Unless you’re pretending saying “voting for [not the democratic candidate] is a vote for Trump” is now apparently right wing and not just a basic understanding of how first past the post works.

Like, your definition is both wrong in terms of what right wing means, and not even descriptive of either. They’re just not tankie shitholes so I guess that makes them look bad to you?

Neither .world nor .shitjustworks are “right leaning” they just hate the tankies most vocally lmao. Neither would it make too much sense to call a tankie “left” leaning given their raging hard on for authoritarianism. I also think most of Blahaj would be offended by being lumped in with them.
