Arguing what you believe in is not what “arguing in good faith” actually means. If you’re arguing in good faith it means you aren’t using any logical fallacies, insults, and are genuinely attempting to have an actual conversation. It has nothing to do with how good of a debater you are, or how valid your argument is.

So you’re Florida man could absolutely be arguing in good faith about the beehives in the center of the earth even though that’s very easy to disprove, while someone arguing for gar rights can arguing in bad faith when they start saying things like “every single Republican is a Nazi” (strawman argument) even though it’s objectively a good thing.

Here is a good article about what “arguing in good faith” actually is.

And yes, I know it’s Grammarly which is an AI tool, but I read through it myself and it’s a good article.

According to the Wikipedia page the train did use ducted fans to hover. The big benefit there is the tracks are extraordinarily cheap, it’s just some concrete poured into a rough shape.

Yes lmao. My grandparents didn’t get a road until like 2010. And that “road” is a dirt road the county grades once a year and is about 1 mile from their house.

Rural America is incredibly rural. I just checked, their county (an unincorporated county at that) has a density of 14 people per square mile.

That circle is roughly about 2000 miles across (according to rough measurements in Google maps), which is only about 2x the size of the Gulf of Mexico.

But yeah, this would be a cataclysmic event.

I think it’s more because pipeline work is inherently unstable so they get paid a lot but it’s for short contracts. Plus it means businesses are more used to transient workers.

Like my buddy can clear $80k in 3 months working 100hr weeks. There’s no IT job in the world that would give you those kinds of hours.

And yeah, American companies sometimes use the visa trap to get workers. But don’t pretend thats a uniquely American phenomenon haha

People still do this. I have a buddy who only works 3-4 months a year. Hes a pipeline welder so long hours and hard work, but then he travels around the rest of the time

!television@lemmy.world only has 11 posts in the last 24 hrs and !movies@lemmy.world only has 7…

Hell even !music@lemmy.world (as far as I can tell, the biggest one on the platform) only has like 10k subs, like a dozen posts today, and basically all of the posts were people just advertising music. Zero discussion.

Even for things i would think are big, the communities here are still vanishingly small. I joined reddit in like 2014 and even back then it was more popular than Lemmy is now

Potatoes, some sort of boiled dough, and some sort of raw meat dish show up in basically every culture around the world

Portal with ray tracing is a really cool demo, and Ive used it on the past to show off ray tracing. But man its just not as pretty as the old portal because it lacks the charm, its like those nature photos that are blown out with HDR

7% is low in France. From what i can see online thats the lowest the unemployment rate has been since at least 1990 (thats as far back as i could find reputable numbers)
