If I'm following the logic from the other guy, I think that it would be "Microsoft ecosystem", not "XBox ecosystem", since they're removing the specific platform, and adding the company. Which I think works.

While I do agree with what you're saying, and it's a way of reading it I hadn't considered, I don't think the distinction is clear from the meme. Then again, it's just a meme, so my expectations can probably stand to be lowered a bit.

This might be heresy, but I feel like saying that "science isn't truth, it's the search for truth", and "if you disagree it's not a disagreement, you're just wrong" is internally inconsistent.

It sounds to me like you are talking about what Steam is doing, with the geolocking and refunds (not fraud), while the other person is talking about what Sony is doing, with adding PSN requirements after the fact (maybe fraud?).

Things that lay the groundwork for future things are often surpassed by what they inspire (shrug)

Just watched it last week for the first time actually. Pretty good overall 👍

I've been thinking it's just a rebranding of the idea of karma, which is old as dirt. "The Law of Attraction" is just the way I've seen it discussed online in its most recent manifestation (pun intended)

[–] Dieterlan@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago (4 children)

To all the people downvoting: "Law of Attraction" is not a lay person's way of saying "Law of Gravity".

It's the belief online that "if I give off good vibes, good vibes will be attracted back to me. You know, because everything is, like, made up of vibrating strings, and stuff" (that last bit is just the connection to String theory OP mentioned)

OP is not endorsing these beliefs, just observing them.

Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, for mining, by doing what the meme says (I don't know what "fossilized algae" refers to, but it makes the nitro not go boom, when it really wants to boom). After seeing what it was eventually used for (bombs. Lots and lots of bombs) he regretted ever making it. He set up the Nobel Peace Prize as a result, to try and even the scales a bit, so to speak

It's the tea party. T = tea

We'd probably end up with a situation where wild deer don't have the gene and city deer do, excepting any cross-breeding.

Ah, missed that. Yeah, I see where you're coming from.
