I have definitely seen studies saying that people who play video games are better surgeons. Surgeons who don't play video games take longer to develop their fine motor coordination to the same level of competence.

Most likely but it's funnier if you don't think about that.

So the majority of people agree on what exactly? What do they mean when they say something is morally right or ok?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's the next step. Once we agree that someone is right and someone is wrong, then we can start talking about the definition of "moral good". And that is a very difficult and complicated discussion. But just because it's hard to define doesn't necessarily mean it's not real.

Muslims say that music is Haram because it is said so in Hadith, does that make music objectively wrong?

That is the exact opposite of what the above comment said. An objective view of morality would say that the "rightness" or "wrongness" of the act of making music is an objective truth. If music is "right", then music is right, regardless of what Muslims or any other people say, and vice versa.

It means you can't come to a correct moral judgement just by taking a poll of the people around you.

I havent seen that episode, but it is kind of an issue how whenever you try to put a bunch of poor/homeless people together, others start to avoid that area and jobs/services become scarce.

I like the idea of "mixed income housing". Apartment buildings with a mix of free, cheap, and regular priced units. The standard units would probably be valued a bit lower than the normal market price, giving mid-income people an incentive to live there, and the homeless people who move in get to be part of a normal-ish community.

100 homeless people stuck in one place can cause a lot of chaos, but a small small group here and there seems a lot more manageable.

And the income gap is caused in part by the education gap which is caused by the housing gap because schools are funded by property taxes.

There are a lot of systems that need to be fixed.

I will gladly listen to you ramble about your niche interest but only if it is somewhat similar to one of mine.

Another solution then: automatically download/cache a user's most frequently played tracks. I know downloading is a premium feature or whatever but they should consider it if it would save them money.

Shown Furcotte taking it up the ice.

He passes to McSriff.

Oh, a big hit by Bobson Dugnutt! He collects the puck and sends it on to Dandleton.

Dandleton now with the puck. Across to Sweeney - But it's picked off by Smorin!

He finds Noginly on the breakaway! Noginly - He Scores!

Noginly hits the brakes at the last second to slip it past the bumper of goaltender Mike Truk!
And the Jonsonbill Nailers take a 2-1 lead, with 3 minutes remaining in the second period.

They're measuring how many people can pass through a fixed point in space in an hour, not how long it takes one person to get from point A to point B.

I think the raw oils are not that bad (maybe in quantity it becomes an issue). Coconut oil I know is saturated fat, so that can be bad for your heart.

I think the bigger issue is how they are used in processed food. Just about every processed food has "partially hydrogenated soybean oil" or something like that, which is basically the worst possible thing for cholesterol.

It's the same with how everyone started using Crisco because lard was thought to be unhealthy. It turns out heavily processed vegetable oils are worse.
