  • Conservatives only trust things they can see. If it can’t be seen directly with the naked eye in real time it is a conspiracy or imaginary.

    It’s why things like vaccines don’t seem real to them. They can see the needle and the injection but what happens afterwards is an unknowable, untrustworthy thing.

    It’s also why MAGA had such a hard time processing Biden’s win. Saying things like, “he didn’t even hold that many rallies” or “attendance at his rallies were low!” Because to them, a physical presence is necessary to convince anyone that someone is serious about winning their votes (or even real).

    Since anything unseen is scary to them it’s easy to point the finger at people they don’t see very often and say, “they’re the ones responsible for your troubles!”






  • Hall effect sensor expert here! No, the magnets in the joycons that are used to attach to the display/body of the Switch 2 would not interfere with hall effect analog sticks.

    Two reasons:

    • The magnets are too far away (sensors are usually only sensitive to magnets within 10-12mm directly above/below)
    • The mounting/attachment magnets would be perpendicular to the magnets in the analog sticks (if you imagine the flux lines they wouldn’t cross the sensory boundary).

    Regardless, it would be trivial to place a tiny little piece of ferromagnetic blocking tape wherever necessary to prevent interference.

    Nobody is learning Mandarin. Not even the Chinese! LOL

    They’re all relying on automatic translation and even the Chinese are using speech recognition to enter characters on their phones. The written language is rapidly being forgotten.

    …which is the destiny of all pictographic and logographic languages so it shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing, necessarily 🤷
