  • I just listened to the Emptiness Machine, it’s pretty good. I haven’t listened to Linkin Park since the tragedy and it feels weird and a bit sad to go back to them. But I like the song, and I’m glad they went with a female singer, it feels more like he wasn’t replaced but just added to. And I’ve always liked bands that combine female and male singers, Eternal Idol is one of my favorites in that regard. But yeah, I like the song, can’t wait to hear the whole album.

    Edit: just started watching a bit of that live video, really emotional hearing them start up somewhere I belong, that’s why I haven’t listened to them since it happened. I’ll go back to it a bit later.

    People say birds are dinosaurs because every living thing is in every clade of it’s ancestors which means they are dinosaurs. They’re also a lot of other things from all of the other clades so they’re not saying that birds are just dinosaurs, but that they are part of Dinosauria and every other clade of their ancestors and so too will all of their descendants be.

    Nothing exists in a vacuum. Once someone believes one thing without evidence, they are likely to believe more things without evidence and people act on their beliefs. That’s the fundamental problem, believing things without evidence. Once you are comfortable with having that door open, it doesn’t stop at one thing and nothing else.

    Technology-wise, most modern “analog” wristwatches are quartz, and therefore digital, not actually analog.

    Wat… that’s not how that works. Quartz watches can be digital or analog but what matters is whether it has a digital display or analog hands.

    I’m a watch nerd with a collection of mechanical watches and I’m not going to downvote you because you’re right. I wear them because I like them even though I know they are anachronistic. I can’t remember the last time I interacted with somebody significantly younger than me who was wearing a watch, and as I said, I’m a watch nerd, someone’s watch is one of the first things I notice about them.

    I will say that they are occasionally more convenient than other places I could check the time but I’ve built my life in such a way that I very rarely have to care about what time it is and I go weeks at a time without checking the time, just wearing them because I’m fascinated by tiny gears and springs doing their business and I like the feeling of it on my wrist.

    That’s the opposite of why he said that though. He said that because he felt that the things that seemed random couldn’t actually be random and that there was something more that they didn’t understand. In other words, he felt he didn’t know enough and wanted to learn more. Not sure where you came up with the idea that he wasn’t interested in learning more.
