Fallow land is used land. It's land that's not currently used but its non-usage only happens its efficiency when actually used. It's like sleeping, but for land, so it's not free to use

Ah sorry I misunderstood your comment

No, you can't prove that something never happens or that something doesn't exist. You can sometimes prove something that contradicts the existence of something, but that's not proving that the thing itself doesn't exist, because it's epistemologically not possible

You made a typo in your original comment

I can prove that the Christian God doesn’t exist

Shorts fucking suck. It keeps recommending to me exactly four types of videos:

  • stuff I have already watched, liked and commented -- sometimes a few minutes prior
  • videos I'm wildly uninterested with and systematically mark as irrelevant or instantly skip, yet it keeps bringing up videos of the same subject
  • very old old "news" shorts
  • stuff of people I'm subscribed to -- which is fine, just not what makes great algorithms

Meanwhile, in a very short time, tiktok has managed to make me discover communities I had no idea I'd like to watch content from, while subtly managing to stop showing me some of the content from those communities I don't enjoy

It was illegal to be gay in my western country in the early 90s. Your opinion is wrong and sucks ass

Stuart little lore (lemmy.ml)
 

HE IS NOT A MOUSE

Description: This is a screenshot of the "Stuart Little" Wikipedia. The excerpt reads "A boy named Stuart is born to an ordinary family in New York City. He is normal in every way except that he is only just over two inches (5 cm) tall and looks exactly like a mouse"

I love how it's logical, but untrue. A tree might have been planted in 1950 or 2000 but be the same "age" if both were cut after 10 years

If you don't mind me asking what is so important about privacy? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 37 points 11 months ago

How confident are you that this stolen private data won't become a tool against you at some point ? I'm not talking about hackers and impersonators (which are huge problems on their own), but anything you do could be used against you in a fascist regime.

If the records of Jewish people didn't exist prior to WW2, the Jew extermination wouldn't have been so easy. To consider that what you do or who you are won't be something you or your descendants would be oppressed for in the future is a very dangerous bet.

By protecting my privacy I'm not taking any chances, and it's actually making my life better through not being targeted by ads. Why would I do things differently?
