[short tusk]

I wonder what kind of shows play in North Slope Borough, Alaska

[muted zealot]

but what about derry

[ember chasm]

though Philadelphia might have been a better choice back then anyways

[cloud pilot]

I met a syra and now I met my twin brother Syro

[ember chasm]

Hello there!

[upper crest]

well Channel 9 is one of the top tv stations in the country

[gloomy tusk]

Hi!

[serene dune]

philly's manufact boom was discovered to be influenced by fraud, the governor for that time is still in hot water afaik

[cloud pilot]

Howdy

[narrow nimbus]

wa da

[upper crest]

(Guys this is literally my career, I work in TV)

[upper crest]

[astral nexus]

How bout this? 😊

[ember chasm]

oh? Well either way historically its been super important for trade and stuff

[narrow nimbus]

wa doe it mean

[astral nexus]

Oh wow that is amazing

[muted zealot]

#4 has to be tuscaloosa, AL

[gloomy tusk]

It's nice

[upper crest]

So like I’m not talking out my ass when I tell you this stuff 💀

[ember chasm]

May I nominate Salt Lake City Utah?

(the answer is no)

[upper crest]

it’s how they sell advertising

even online

[cloud pilot]

Well I was summoned by my California hermano, and I met my doppelgänger, so now I go back to my hibernation

[muted zealot]

how about….. we nominate the smallest city in utah we can find

[ember chasm]

Ah gotcha

Mexican Hat, Utah

[astral nexus]

Beautiful place

[upper crest]

Technically speaking Salt Lake City is the only TV Market in the state

There used to be two

[serene dune]

we just dont talk about who owns the market

[muted zealot]

interestinggggggg

bro

can we not

💀

[ember chasm]

Utah is kinda its own little weird bubble, idk

[astral nexus]

Funny enough I haven’t seen people firmly believe that DFW would be the number 4 on other social media

[upper crest]

KSL

[short tusk]

isn’t salt lake city important to the mormons or something. Surely that means something

[upper crest]

if you’re talking about who runs the local tv market there

[muted zealot]

i think utah is soooo beautiful

[ember chasm]

ah yep, KSL is a ugah thing

[astral nexus]

It’s like their Mecca

lol

[narrow nimbus]

i wanna see a non mormon utan someday

[ember chasm]

yes. The Mormons are the reason utah is the way it is, for the most part

[serene dune]

yeeaah... LDS is a majority holder of that station

[astral nexus]

There’s quite an amount actually

[ember chasm]

hello

[muted zealot]

i was stuck on my porch trapped by some mormons the other day

[narrow nimbus]

like in personn

[upper crest]

yeah and KSL also runs the Utah equivalent of Craigslist

[muted zealot]

[narrow nimbus]

so who pays the ticket

[serene dune]

fr?

[astral nexus]

I’d love to visit Utah it has amazing nature

[ember chasm]

About half of Utahns are non-mormon nowadays

[upper crest]

KSL Classified

[narrow nimbus]

is that a lot

nowadays!!

[ember chasm]

Much, much more percent than that in SLC, and way less in rural towns

[upper crest]

https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/04/ksl-craigslist-classifieds/521916/

[muted zealot]

glen canyon is beautiful

[narrow nimbus]

how many were there before

[ember chasm]

it has very, very slowly dropped to that point, so yeah it is kinda a lot

[astral nexus]

Southern Utah is very lovely

[muted zealot]

it really really is it’s beautiful

[short tusk]

swimming in Utahan lakes is really cool imo

[astral nexus]

I’ve only been to Arizona

[serene dune]

tbf anything is better than craigslist, using that site is a security risk and picking things up from it is a health risk lol

[ember chasm]

like 90% or so? dunno the exact numbers, id have to look it up

[narrow nimbus]

i think they still have many kids in general

[narrow nimbus]

what the fuck

[cloud pilot]

What yall talking about by the way?

[muted zealot]

mormons

[short tusk]

the holy city of the mormons, Salt Lake City

[upper crest]

Utah apparently

(I’ve been)

[muted zealot]

utah always sticks around

[cloud pilot]

Unfortunately I have to know the chisme

[narrow nimbus]

i mean i knew mormons were from there but not like an entire state controlled kind of thinf

[muted zealot]

every time it’s brought up

[upper crest]

as a Latino I felt very very weird being in Utah

[astral nexus]

I asked Americans what they would consider the number 4 city of America hermano

Like these would be the three

NYC
LA
Chicago

What would be ur fourth?

[serene dune]

idt we can talk about how that happened way back when here without breaking the rules; it was not a very ethical action

[muted zealot]

mormons are the church of latter day saints. they are an interesting bunch

[upper crest]

todos se llamaban Colton, Greyson or Payton 💀

[narrow nimbus]

like for importance

well san fran

[astral nexus]

😳

[cloud pilot]

Tbh that’s a hard one to say

[astral nexus]

I agree with you personally

but there are many

people can’t agree

[muted zealot]

definitely many farms, arizona

[short tusk]

san fran would be right alongside miami if im being honest

[muted zealot]

💀

[astral nexus]

Miami is gonna be the city of GTA 6

[narrow nimbus]

blehh

[serene dune]

SF alone generates like 5% or whatever of the WHOLE nation's GDP as a single area. idt there's any other city that can say the same outside of NYC, but NYC is starting to be less and less because most trading is done remote now.

[trim fable]

Somewhere in Texas probably

[ember chasm]

Utah was founded as a religious colony after the mormons got kicked out of several western states. The idea was basically to run away to the mountains and build their perfect little society in peace

[muted zealot]

yeah but economic factors aren’t the only influence that’s being weighed

[astral nexus]

I feel like if we were to say “the Bay Area” as a whole, without a doubt it would be #4

[narrow nimbus]

my mom was mormon so i know a bit of it

[astral nexus]

SF also had a lot of counter culture movements

That influenced the country

[muted zealot]

now this is also true

idk i don’t think of SF

[astral nexus]

60s to now

[muted zealot]

i’m from california btw

[astral nexus]

hippie culture, left wing movements etc

[ember chasm]

ehh, it is an important city, and the one the church is based in, but theres other cities/places id say are more important to its history (particularly Nauvoo, Illinois)

[muted zealot]

originally

[astral nexus]

the gold rush

that’s from 19th century

Even then SF was a big deal

[whole thorn]

Hey tori!

[muted zealot]

yeah but i don’t think of sf when i think of the USA

[muted zealot]

hello!!!

[upper crest]

obviously it’s all about the Chuck a Rama’s

[serene dune]

you're using something rn that was invented in the bay area

[whole thorn]

Wassup ?

[upper crest]

Which is a deep cut if you’re not from Utah

[muted zealot]

that’s fine i just dont think of SF when i think of the USA lolol

[whole thorn]

How's the day going ?

[muted zealot]

it’s not one of the first cities that pops in my head

[astral nexus]

damn man, so many things

Apple
Google
Facebook (Meta)
Discords HQ is there I think
Twitter

[muted zealot]

goooood just tired. what about you?

[astral nexus]

So ur fourth would be Dallas correct?

[muted zealot]

the beautiful thing is that we’re all going to think different things

[muted zealot]

dallas or houston yeah

[ember chasm]

again, its very slowly gone down as the state has become less isolated from the rest of the world (they migrated here before the transcontinental railroad was built, and there really werent many other people here before then besides the native nations.)

[whole thorn]

Ntg much just reading a book

And chatting

[astral nexus]

that’s why I loved this convo lol, i found it fun seeing all the different answers

[serene dune]

IBM, Apache, Northup has a facility there, Microsoft i think has a satellite, Oracle, list goes on and on and on

[ember chasm]

there was like... one white guy doing mountain man stuff

[short tusk]

I think Dallas is an okay 4th. I don’t think there’s too big of a gap between Dallas and Chicago

[serene dune]

these are corporations that as a modern society we cannot go through our day without interacting with something they created

[narrow nimbus]

i ptt much thought there weren't many differences between all the states between the west coast and illnois but this is more interesting

[astral nexus]

What major influences has Dallas offered to America in your guys views?

[muted zealot]

my bf said las vegas 💀

[snow cedar]

@dusk pine disculpa, una pregunta

[cloud pilot]

I’d say Utah

[narrow nimbus]

i really got the urge to visit the US just to go there

[serene dune]

international trade, i would say oil... but it only gets managed out of Dallas whereas the fields are elsewhere

[short tusk]

It’s close to Houston

[muted zealot]

LOL

[whole thorn]

Donald Trump

[muted zealot]

that made me cackle

[muted zealot]

what💀

[whole thorn]

Jk

[astral nexus]

Damn personally if I had to choose forcibly between Dallas and H town I’d go with H town. Lots of diversity and culture, oil business, and NASA is nearby no?

[muted zealot]

💀💀💀💀

[cloud pilot]

Ain’t worth going but if you wanna try whataburger, come by to Texas to try it, in n out and whataburger and buccees is the only things we got to offer in America

[astral nexus]

Houston was ofc a big deal in the space race

[short tusk]

Las Vegas would only ever be an honorable mention with San Jose

[ember chasm]

Yeah, Utah is... a weird exception. Though in a lot of ways Utah still does have a lot of general western influence (like, we dont talk much different from people in Washington or Cali)

[astral nexus]

Las Vegas imo is one of Americas most American cities

[narrow nimbus]

i recognized in n out but not the rest so

[short tusk]

The only thing i even know about houston other than rice university is “Houston, we have a problem!”

[narrow nimbus]

just the general life

[astral nexus]

Lol

[narrow nimbus]

what do these amerikanen do

[astral nexus]

same

[whole thorn]

If you love diversity and different culture you must visit India once

[astral nexus]

We work

[serene dune]

nasa launch site is just outside houston, yeah in the industry area, as well as corp offices

[narrow nimbus]

americans what do you usually do

[cloud pilot]

Buccees is a big gas station/market with good food and good merch

[ember chasm]

cry /j

[cloud pilot]

Eat and sleep

[astral nexus]

Are you from India?

[whole thorn]

Putt tarifs on another countries 🤣

[short tusk]

I really wanna disagree with this, but I really can’t 😭

[whole thorn]

Yeah

[ember chasm]

wait where is Hollywood located again?

[narrow nimbus]

so american guys

[cloud pilot]

I give you permission to go off on my hermano

[serene dune]

So Cali

[narrow nimbus]

LA

[short tusk]

Los Angeles’s little spoon

[astral nexus]

My political science teacher would always argue that only America could let a city like Las Vegas develop at the time

[ember chasm]

ah, never mind then

[astral nexus]

found it funny

[ember chasm]

LA's on the list already

[whole thorn]

Server occupied by Americans

[astral nexus]

I tagged all the Americans lol

[whole thorn]

Seems like that ?

[cloud pilot]

Lowkey it’s like that

[serene dune]

Las Vegas almost didn't happen, the surrounding governments tried to stop the "female adult entertainment" of the era from amasing the power and money to lay the groundwork for what would become casinos

[narrow nimbus]

NYC and LA are the cultural influence hub and SF the economic one

[ember chasm]

I feel like I'd choose Las Vegas over Miami but that might just be since I'm in the West and LV is more familiar to me

[narrow nimbus]

well NYC is both

[cloud pilot]

But good thing we’re half Americans lol

[narrow nimbus]

definitely can be both

[astral nexus]

NYC and LA are both cultural and economic hubs

[short tusk]

I mean it’d make sense for Americans of all english speakers to be on this server

[dusk pine]

Dime

[astral nexus]

so is Chicago

That’s why they’re the default top 3

[ember chasm]

NYC and LA just have way more people in general honestly

than anywhere else

[serene dune]

US holds a super majority of all consumed internet traffic. so...

[whole thorn]

Real

[astral nexus]

yea, makes sense why they’d have overall more media and economic influence

[narrow nimbus]

I used to confuse SF and LA but i think SF is a bigger one in that regard

[serene dune]

nope

[astral nexus]

Welllll

LA is a pretty big deal too

[ember chasm]

NYC has also like, always, permanently been in those top 4 pretty much

[whole thorn]

Lol 😂 bro entered politically 🗿 waiting for trump

[serene dune]

excuse me?

[astral nexus]

LA has two of the largest ports in the country receiving all our resources from China for example

[cloud pilot]

Well good thing I live close to Mexico cause LA and NY got bad traffic

[ember chasm]

its consistently been like, the primary economic spot in america

[astral nexus]

It’s also got a lot of financial hubs

LA is wayyy more than just the movies

[narrow nimbus]

just because of its number of
headquarters

[whole thorn]

what?

[serene dune]

you're overstepping and best stop

[snow cedar]

El bot de lectura lo puedo usar en canales mas privados como el de room 5?

[ember chasm]

why would you need to drive in NY though?

agreed on LA though

[whole thorn]

What you'll do huh ?

[narrow nimbus]

which it would be basically all internet media is supported by this lil area

[astral nexus]

LA traffic is horrible hermano

[serene dune]

<@&642782671109488641> using politics to be overly general and attacking

[short tusk]

just live in riverside or santa clarita or something instead of Los Angeles

[dusk pine]

Nop, el bot está configurado para funcionar solamente en canales de lectura

[ember chasm]

DC i think would make sense, especially if you did a Dallas-Fort Worth thing and combined it with Baltimore

[short tusk]

people really want to be in the epicenter of smogville

[whole thorn]

Do whatever you want i ain't gonna stop fck u

[cloud pilot]

I mean NY is a big city

[astral nexus]

I personally think it’s pretty close, sure LA isn’t the tech hub but it’s the media hub, as well as a ton of resource logistics, finance, it has one of the busiest airports in the world, and it’s the 2nd largest city in the country

[serene dune]

cool story, racists are still scum o7 adding to block

[cloud pilot]

Relax brother, it’s all love here

[snow cedar]

Y si quiero usarlo pero nada mas con un amigo, no se puede?

En los canales de lectura puede entrar el que sea...

[ember chasm]

yes? one with the best public transit and walkability in the country

[short tusk]

perhaps we may need a foreign perspective to give what they think would be the “4th” American city

[astral nexus]

All those folk end up working in LA anyway 😔 coming from someone from the greater LA area

[serene dune]

it's also a newer entry port for western world tourism, save for SF or SEA Int'l.

[short tusk]

like, what 4th city represents America the best

[ember chasm]

I think the issue is that there isnt one 4th city

[astral nexus]

That’s an interesting idea

[narrow nimbus]

bleh yeah but definitely should be second place

[ember chasm]

theres a lot of claims to it, and a lot of different reasonings and methods of measuring importance

[narrow nimbus]

SF/LA

[astral nexus]

well we have Andy from Argentina

He said SF

[astral nexus]

America just has so many cities

[narrow nimbus]

im representing the foreign amerikanen influenç

[serene dune]

i lived in east LA, worked IBM contracts from SD up to SF; but by the time i was old enough to have to live on my own i couldn't afford to stay even on that inclome

[narrow nimbus]

the eagle emoire has crossed borders

[cloud pilot]

Besides the public transit, people still uses cars to drive to work there, compared to my hometown, I bet New Yorkers have the hardest time getting to work from the traffic and the transit being full

[ember chasm]

I think SF has really good symbolic importance with the imagery around the golden gate bridge and stuff

[astral nexus]

It’s so hard to live here

[ember chasm]

Not really, most people who actually live in new york dont get around via car

partly cause its way too expensive to own a garage there, lol

[serene dune]

subway is the number one transit in NY cities as well as bus or bike

[astral nexus]

I will forever envy NYCs subway system

[ember chasm]

But also because it has good public transit, particularly the subway

[serene dune]

i miss DC's public transit, it didn't stink like LA's (and i mean smell)

[ember chasm]

There are tons of cars but i believe they tend to come from suburbs and nearby states

[cloud pilot]

That’s interesting to hear, let me call the Texas government to do that shit, people in Texas can’t drive for shit, so I think it’s better to have a transit system

[astral nexus]

our transit is painfully neglected, only until recently have they been changing the bare minimum to suit the needs for the Olympics coming soon

[ember chasm]

Absolutely, we need it in so many more places...

[serene dune]

i look at most of my county's car accidents being TX tourists...

[astral nexus]

in LA using transit is seen kinda as a poor people thing

sadly

[ember chasm]

Thats... unfortunately the stigma in most of the US

[astral nexus]

Yup

[ember chasm]

same here in Utah, though we have somewhat halfway decent transit?

better than the really low bar that is most of the country

[serene dune]

last time i was in LA was 2010'ish. iirc they had just started switching to ecofuel and it STUNNNK the f' out of the buses

[cloud pilot]

Unfortunately, and it’s mostly from people from Mexico (not being racist, as a Mexican I know how they drive since in Mexico we don’t have roads to drive in lol)

[astral nexus]

I actually don’t notice stench from outside of the bus

[narrow nimbus]

i think its actually dangerous most of the time

[ember chasm]

It helps that we have good geography for it since like 70% of Utahns live along the Wasatch Front, all in a line

[astral nexus]

mmmm not really

I use public transit

It’s ok

[narrow nimbus]

scary should i

[twin gust]

y'all can we move on a bit.

[narrow nimbus]

shall i use amerikanen public transportation

[twin gust]

[ember chasm]

I would reccomend it! I like public transit personally

[cloud pilot]

Especially in Monterrey, damn people drive like maniacs

[astral nexus]

if you have a lot of time to spare 😂

[serene dune]

oooh nooo

anywho

[ember chasm]

oh, true

[narrow nimbus]

for science

[astral nexus]

ETA in America

🚘: 25min

🚎: 1h30min

[short tusk]

it’s really depends on the city

[astral nexus]

So

Yea

[ember chasm]

yeah public transit is... bad at getting you places quickly

i kinda forget that since i cant drive anywhere

[narrow nimbus]

i generally just walk

[serene dune]

US opinion of public transit and a lack of tax provided means we're still stuck with a system more closer to what we had in the 1800s than that which exists in europe or eastern countries

[cloud pilot]

25 mins ain’t bad, I hate living in Texas, I have to go to a different city for hours 😭

[astral nexus]

I will forever be envious of chinas fast train system

[dusk pine]

No se puede, es más que nada por limitaciones técnicas

[twin gust]

NASA is near Galveston so I wouldn't necessarily call it "close" lol

[ember chasm]

i just kinda figure it takes everyone an hour to get back from a short grocery trip, even though thats not true lol

[cloud pilot]

You don’t have a license?

[ember chasm]

We just really prioritize our cars

[serene dune]

i thought the corp office was in industry park in houston?

[astral nexus]

Oh I didn’t know, I assumed it was since people called Houston

[short tusk]

being able to rely on walking is sadly nothing more than a fantasy for many americans

[narrow nimbus]

like i'm too used to walking although buenos aires has a ptt good public transportation system

[ember chasm]

nope! dont trust myself or others to pilot these fast moving chunks of metal, personally

[snow cedar]

Vale, garcias

[cloud pilot]

I get you

[ember chasm]

I might eventually learn? but id have to do it out in the countryside

[astral nexus]

Wait hold on, seems to be in greater Houston still?

[twin gust]

I mean yes ish? But location wise... it's like a good 45minute- 1 hour drive from downtown to NASA

[cloud pilot]

I been in many car accidents cause people can’t drive

[ember chasm]

no way am i learning it here in utah

[twin gust]

It's not "close" per say lol

[narrow nimbus]

ok forgive mej amerikanen i kant brag about my ability to walk

[astral nexus]

Well isn’t that what Houston’s like? They say “you drive 2 hours and you’re still in Houston”

[serene dune]

an hr is close to me

[twin gust]

Yep lol

Add an hour if it's rush hour

[cloud pilot]

5 hours drive for me

[twin gust]

[astral nexus]

I take into account the metropolitan area

So yea

NASA is in H town

[serene dune]

DC to Woodbridge is supposed to be like 45min, but at 6am to 9am and 4pm until 8pm, forget it

[ember chasm]

doesnt metro area get measured really dumbly tho in the us?

[narrow nimbus]

metro areas are generally enormous so

[astral nexus]

depends

[ember chasm]

it includes the whole county/ies the city is part of iirc

[astral nexus]

the US census has designated CSAs

[serene dune]

it's an arbitrarily assigned system

[ember chasm]

So like the SLC metro extends into the desert nobody lives in due to Tooele being part of it, but tooele county barely has any people outside of the one area on the border of SL county

[serene dune]

it has parameters, but, it gets weird

[ember chasm]

like. Nobody lives in western Tooele or Juab counties

[serene dune]

not just geologically either

[twin gust]

oooo sort of related but check out "NotJustBikes" if you're into transit/metro/suburbia stuff lol

[ember chasm]

it is the salt flats

[twin gust]

https://www.youtube.com/@NotJustBikes

Y'all reminded me of that one Houston video he posted a while back

[ember chasm]

but theyre included due to one or two cities on the border of Salt Lake and Utah counties

[astral nexus]

This is LAs CSA

[narrow nimbus]

what could we do without dutch ppl teaching urbanism

[astral nexus]

Also super spread out

[narrow nimbus]

i found another guy kinda similar in ig

[twin gust]

if I had a bunch of $$$$ I'd move there with my doggos and walk to work daily

[serene dune]

if i didn't have cultural concerns to care about, i'd rather move back towards northern virginia; i liked being able to walk short distances to everything or taking an uber to whatever else

out here, no car = get rekt

[ember chasm]

this is probably about what SLC metro area should look like

like, look how few roads or anything there is out in the rest of the county lol

[astral nexus]

To be very honest with yall, metro area for me would just be going on google maps and seeing how much civilization consistently spreads together lol

[ember chasm]

yeah, thats what it should be

[narrow nimbus]

streetcraft

this made me still love american suburbs with the privacy and spacious houses and yards without it being a lifeless car hell town

[astral nexus]

Unfortunately most places here are still like the latter neighborhood

[narrow nimbus]

ye im aware

but the first one isn't necessarily present in europe

so it's rare in general

[honest sigil]

what American suburbs look like that

99% of them are lifeless car hell town

[merry perch]

What streaming app do you use to watch news from Latam and Spain? I live in the US and I don't have TV news channels but I don't like getting my news filtered from YouTubers reacting to sensationalist news channels either

[woeful socket]

sorry, i worded it wrong. i watch news in spanish on youtube like from telemundo or euronews and what not. i know they can be a bit biased but i watch them purely to improve my listening ability. i strictly avoid youtuber reactions though

[pastel scaffold]

Does anyone know which Colombian accent Shel from dreaming Spanish has?

I've been mimicking her voice, speed, flow etc

I'll get a video

[cyan linden]

Hii

[dense beacon]

@cyan linden considering that you know so many languages, how do you learn them? What kind of methods/sources do you use?

[cyan linden]

Well, two of them are my native languages and i learnt English by playing games, watching short videos on YouTube and English class
we learn Arabic in school but i can't speak as well
about the Spanish, i use chatgpt to learn Grammer and basic things then i come here to talk with natives to improve my Spanish and i try to use the new things that i learn
there are some sites that teach you useful verbs or words, but the best way to learn a new language is talking to a native and i also suggest you talk to yourself if you want to improve your speaking skills, because here i don't have anyone to speak Spanish with him, i stand behind the mirror and i ask questions from my self in English, then i try to answer them in Spanish
that can help you a lot

sorry if it is too long i tried to say all of the things

[dense beacon]

Ahhh alright. Entiendo, muchas gracias!
Don't worry I follow you perfectly! It's very impressive you got to the level you are now by learning just within 23 days

[cyan linden]

You're welcome!
actually I joined the server at 11th of July but i started to learn Spanish one week after that so don't disappoint if you can't do well as a beginner!
keep going and practicing everyday im sure that you will achieve the highest level that you can in a short time!

[dense beacon]

Muchas gracias. Poco a poco, mejoro!

La teoría de evolución no es verdad. Nos humanos vienen de la profeta Adam y su esposa Eve. La ciencia es falible mientras que la palabra de El dios es infalible

[crisp shell]

wow I never knew anyone thought this

[storm mica]

It's true my man, science is fallible

Tell me anyone who says science isn't fallible

[crisp shell]

fallibility of science is irrelevant. you're dealing with a system of epistemology which is founded upon the principle of using models to explain and predict existence, and modifying those models to fit new data. I'll take a system which makes accurate predictions according to our data any day over some paper compiled from oral traditions millennia ago by people who knew nothing of the world, and whose book(s) have no predictive value in science.

going to work now, if you want to discuss we can later

[storm mica]

I mean, if Islam is true, then automatically Darwinian evolution is debunked, so...

[storm mica]

[gloomy whale]

Can you convince me that you understand evolution? Im not trying to be mean, its just that a lot of people dont have a good conception of it, they just believe it is about monkeys transforming into humans or something like that

[storm mica]

I do understand evolution, evolution as in things change is a fact, aka micro-evolution, no one denies that. But humans coming from fish is absolutely false because we have a religion and a god saying that it isn't true at all

And if Islam is true, then automatically Darwinian evolution is false and debunked

[raven oasis]

all thetrapodos are descendants of anciant fish

[raven oasis]

nice

[gloomy whale]

I dont think that the existence of islam in particular denies anything, remember, there's a lot more religions and beliefs, and anyone can be confirmed

[storm mica]

Can you show me them evolving right now?

Where's the evidence for that?

[storm mica]

But Islam has many unique things unlike other religions, hence making Islam the only true religion

[raven oasis]

oh yes cause i can control time and jus skip millions of thounsed years in a second

[gloomy whale]

I dont think you are an expert in other religions, they have their unique things too, each belief with a big community and with enough time can be pretty deep

[crisp shell]

I think it would be better if you explained in granular detail how you understand evolution to work. For example, how one population can evolve to become two different species. Could you explain how you think evolutionary biologists would explain it, in your own words?

Rather than making truth-statements which we can't just assume to be true

So rather than saying "macroevolution doesn't occur", explain how "macroevolution" is claimed to function, step by step, and then explain why it doesn't work

That's how to argue in good faith. You have to take an argument which you don't agree with, and work to understand it so well that you can make that argument yourself, and then break it down from within

I don't argue against Islam any more than I argue against Buddhism, Judaism, or Hinduism. All people of all faiths believe themselves to be correct and I have no good reason to prefer one over another

[storm mica]

Exactly, you don't have observable evidence for Darwinian evolution to be true

[storm mica]

I sure am an expert in other religions. Other religions have books that aren't preserved, and that have contradictions. The Quran has been preserved and has no contradictions unlike every other 'holy' book

[storm mica]

Do you want to see how Islam is true unlike other religions? I have the proof for you

If Islam is true, immediately macro-evolution is false. It's that simple

It's simple, the Quran is infallible, while science is fallible. Why should I trust something fallible over infallible?

[wild basin]

theres plenty of evidence in fossils and dna and anatomy that prove that species evolve overtime to adapt to their environments, theres no present observable evidence because evolution is a slow moving process that happens over hundreds of thousands of years, though there are exceptions as rapid evolution is something thats been observed before though it isnt as drastic as normal evolution

https://youtu.be/NArlXzSFt2Y?si=75rFG9T_rdIJhnW2

[storm mica]

Fossils aren't evidence for evolution because they are fabrications. There was one fabrication called Lucy and they grabbed a bunch of fossils, put them together, then made up a whole story on that

[wild basin]

what about dna? what about anatomical and biological studies even outside of fossils that prove evolution is real? are these also made up fabrications by big science to try discrediting islam and straying people away from it? i dont wanna seem like im jumping to conclusions but that seems to be the direction youre heading in if you think any and all evidence for evolution is nothing more than a fabrication. i dont think evolution is something thats made up because why would the scientific community as a whole fabricate something for the sake of discrediting religion when they are by extension discrediting multiple religions all with their own sets of beliefs

i dont know how this discussion is supposed to be constructive or beneficial at all when no matter what anyone says your response will always be something like “thats fake” or “thats made up” then fall back onto something that has no hard solid evidence and something that the validity and proof of which can be endlessly debated until the end of time

[crisp shell]

Again, I would prefer you to try to explain to me how you think evolution works. I have no interest in discussing islam, but I am an avid nerd about evolutionary biology and can discuss it in depth, and I would like to see where your misunderstanding of the topic lies.

[wild basin]

to me it sounds like youre not dismissing evolution on the basis of anything with true hard evidence but because it invalidates your own beliefs

and like muta said im not here to debate islam or any religion and im not trying to say that what you believe isnt true

but to me regardless of what religion you follow evolution is something thats undeniably real

[crisp shell]

If someone can't explain something through the lense of the thing they don't believe in, then they don't understand it

You can tell someone doesn't know how it works when they use terms like micro and macro evolution, and make broad statements which read more like rhetoric than actual meaningful statements

[storm mica]

Argument:

DNA Is the Evidence That We Have a Common Ancestry

Assuming we have similar DNA with apes, this argument can't be made if you look at homology and homoplasy. Even in DNA levels you'd be incorrect to argue that we have common ancestry. There is counter examples to this notion. For example, bats and whales.

Source: Echolocation in Bats and Whales Based on Same Changes to Same Gene

That itself refutes that DNA is the definite determining factor of common ancestry since we have convergent evolution.

If Evolutionist Atheist still doesn't want to acknowledge that the problem of homology still present, look no further than science and the philosophers of science themselves such as Andrew Inkpen and Ford Doolittle

[storm mica]

No problem, we can discuss Darwinian evolution, it's an interesting topic to talk about. Forget about Islam and all other religions for now

[storm mica]

APE-HUMAN GENETIC SIMILARITY FALSEHOOD:

Argument:

It is claimed that the genes of chimpanzees and humans bear a 98% similarity and assume that this shows their closeness, which is used as evidence for the theory of evolution.

Rebuttal:

In order to claim that the genetic structures of human beings and chimpanzees bear a 98% similarity, the entire chimpanzee genetic code would have to be mapped, in the way the human one has. Then the two would have to be compared, to obtain the results. Yet no such results are yet available: While the human genetic map has been completed, the chimpanzee equivalent has not.

Propaganda

In fact, the “98% similarity between human and ape genes” slogan was deliberately produced for propaganda purposes many years ago. This “similarity” is a highly exaggerated generalization, based on a similarity in the amino acid sequences in between 30 and 40 of the basic proteins present in man and ape. Sequence analysis of the DNA strings corresponding to these proteins was performed using a method known as “DNA hybridization.” and only these limited proteins were compared. Yet there are around 30,000 genes in human beings and these genes encode some 200,000 proteins. There is thus no scientific justification for claiming, on the basis of a similarity in 40 proteins out of 200,000, any 98% resemblance between human and ape genetics. The DNA comparison of those 40 proteins is also questionable. Two biologists named Charles Sibley and Jon Edward Ahlquist carried out the comparison in 1987 and published the results in the Journal of Molecular Evolution.(Hubert Journal of Molecular Evolution, Vol. 26, pp. 99-121.)

[wild basin]

1. Claim: 98% Genetic Similarity
   The statement that humans and chimpanzees share approximately 98% genetic similarity is a widely accepted figure in modern biology. This estimate originates from early studies, such as those by Sibley and Ahlquist in the 1980s, which used DNA hybridization techniques to compare genetic material. Subsequent advancements, including full genome sequencing, have refined this figure, but it remains broadly accurate.
2. Rebuttal: Incomplete Chimpanzee Genome Mapping
   The rebuttal argues that the chimpanzee genome was not fully mapped at the time of the claim, and thus, a comprehensive comparison with the human genome (which was completed in 2003) was not possible. This is partially true for the time when early studies (like Sibley and Ahlquist’s) were conducted. However, this argument is outdated. The chimpanzee genome was fully sequenced in 2005 by the Chimpanzee Sequencing and Analysis Consortium, published in Nature (Vol. 437, pp. 69-87). This allowed for a detailed comparison with the human genome.
   Modern comparisons confirm that humans and chimpanzees share approximately 98-99% similarity in their DNA sequences when considering single-nucleotide differences in aligned regions of the genome. However, this figure refers specifically to the sequence identity of protein-coding regions and does not account for structural variations, such as insertions, deletions, or duplications, which can increase the genetic differences slightly.

3. Propaganda Allegation
   The claim that the 98% similarity is “propaganda” based on a limited comparison of 30-40 proteins is misleading. While early studies, such as Sibley and Ahlquist’s 1987 work (Journal of Molecular Evolution, Vol. 26, pp. 99-121), relied on DNA hybridization and focused on a subset of genetic material, these studies were foundational but not exhaustive. Modern genomic sequencing has since compared the entire genomes of humans and chimpanzees, not just a handful of proteins.
   The human genome contains approximately 20,000-25,000 protein-coding genes (not 30,000 as stated in the rebuttal), which encode a larger number of proteins due to alternative splicing (closer to 100,000-200,000 proteins). The 98% similarity figure is based on nucleotide sequence comparisons across the genome, not just a small set of proteins. The rebuttal’s assertion that the similarity is an exaggeration based on 40 proteins out of 200,000 is incorrect, as whole-genome comparisons now underpin the estimate.
4. Scientific Justification
   The 98-99% similarity figure is not a generalization but a well-supported estimate derived from rigorous genomic analysis. Key points include:
   • Nucleotide Similarity: When comparing aligned DNA sequences, humans and chimpanzees share approximately 98-99% identical nucleotides in coding regions. This is based on whole-genome sequencing, not just DNA hybridization.
   • Structural Variations: Differences in genome structure (insertions, deletions, duplications) reduce overall similarity slightly, to about 95-96% when these are included.
   • Functional Differences: Even small genetic differences can lead to significant phenotypic variation due to regulatory regions, gene expression, and epigenetic factors. The rebuttal’s focus on protein numbers oversimplifies this complexity.

5. Sibley and Ahlquist’s Study
   The 1987 study by Sibley and Ahlquist was a pioneering effort using DNA hybridization to estimate genetic distances between species. While their methods were limited compared to modern sequencing, their findings were consistent with evolutionary relationships and have been validated by subsequent genomic studies. The rebuttal’s implication that their work is unreliable or propagandistic ignores its historical context and the corroboration provided by later research.
6. Evolutionary Implications
   The genetic similarity between humans and chimpanzees is one line of evidence supporting common ancestry in evolutionary biology, but it is not the sole evidence. Other data, including fossil records, morphological similarities, and molecular phylogenetics, also support this conclusion. The rebuttal’s suggestion that the 98% figure is used misleadingly to promote evolution oversimplifies the broader scientific consensus, which is built on multiple converging lines of evidence.
   Conclusion
   The claim that the 98% genetic similarity between humans and chimpanzees is a falsehood or propaganda is not supported by current scientific evidence. While early studies had limitations, the completion of the chimpanzee genome in 2005 and subsequent comparisons confirm a high degree of genetic similarity (98-99% for nucleotide sequences, slightly lower when structural variations are included). The rebuttal’s arguments are outdated or misrepresent the scope of modern genomic research. The similarity figure is not based on a small subset of proteins but on comprehensive genome-wide comparisons.

also, if something is infallible by nature, then it cannot be considered scientific, thus it is completely unable to disprove anything scientific

religion cannot be explained by science and vice versa

what you do have are facts; we know that we descend from LUCA due to extensive genomic analyses, which disproves adam and eve

religions are a belief system, they are not based in fact but are rather a guide

they attempt to explain things but many times they fail once pitted against science

I don't have the money for a course or anything so I don't know the effectiveness
@glad bison you don't need money, nor a course, to be effective in learning something, whether that would be a language or a subject. So long as you receive feedback from people who/sources that are qualified, you are already on a reliable path. Other factors, like having fun and not having a lot of stress, play a roll in how you pursue a subject (and of course affording time and effort). Just my opinion.

What you need is something you that helps you learn a language.

For me, a course could help me because I feel like my discipline is not good enough in order to learn a language on my own with primarily online resources, including Discord and native speakers. While this server is very helpful and I am glad I have found this server, I shouldn't expect nor rely on this server to constantly help me, such as in #🐸・ꜱᴘ∕principiante . This, however, is solely based on personal reasons, so I can only say this for my own.

The reason why I question the effectiveness of a course is because of how it may be designed. This can vary per course, so I won't go into detail about what they each may entail, but I do want to point out how you could effectively learn. Consistent (daily) exposure of a language helps a lot in learning, since you want to keep the patterns you have already learned/noticed from the language be repeated in your head. Same goes for words. Other factors, like having fun, also play an important role, especially if you learn the language out of fun. Why continue learning a language if the fun goes away? Of course, assuming you started learning because of fun. You can do all this without a course and a course can diminish fun.

I've said it multiple times and I'm going to reiterate: this is my perception of learning. I'm open for anyone who thinks otherwise about this , if anyone bothered to read this wall of text that is

Yes I understand everything that you have said, the important thing about it is choosing the right course for YOU, not every method will work, nor will keep you engaged, the thing about discipline is it's not the same as school anymore anyway, you won't be in trouble if you slack or quit or anything, you need motivation and to enjoy what you're doing, at least from what I've seen, there are some courses where you can have like a free consultation to get a jist of the structure or you could email something in charge of it, if you're worried about the structure

Are you Muslim?

[obtuse flint]

No

I'm from Argentina bro

[storm mica]

Then why do you have a Muslim name?

[obtuse flint]

I don't understand the Arabic language

[storm mica]

An Argentinian can be Muslim

[obtuse flint]

It's a long history

[storm mica]

You don't need to understand Arabic to be Muslim

[obtuse flint]

I don't know almost anyone here who is Muslim.

[obtuse flint]

Bro is trying to convert me 💀

[storm mica]

No I'm not, I'm just stating a fact

[storm mica]

I'm all ears

[obtuse flint]

I only know the "sa" and "as" salute because some friend from Turkey

[storm mica]

Oh ok

[obtuse flint]

He is a former soccer player, he had a son named Farid, in the 2006 World Cup his son died in an accident and my parents named me Farid in honor of their son.

I was born in 2007

That's why I have a Muslim name without being one or even being from the Middle East.

You understand?

@storm mica

[storm mica]

But still, you're not Muslim and so you shall not have a Muslim name

[obtuse flint]

But how Farid is a Muslim name?

Do names have religions?

Farid Didn't it mean "unique"?

[unreal garnet]

I think the name Christian is a pretty religious one

[fair kestrel]

what are u on about😭

so many african americans in the usa who are christian but have names like "omar, ahmad, khalid" etc

[fair kestrel]

the origin is Islamic other than that nothing else u do u dawg

[obtuse flint]

Bro, the guy started telling me things about Islam and I never had any relationship with him.

And with it

Here in Argentina it is an absolute minority

In fact, in South America I think it is a minority.

[signal trellis]

Where I live I know many people called Farid, but they are not Muslims. Here the majority of the population are Christians.

[prime stag]

Yes

The oldestThe majority of Muslims are concentrated mainly in Asia and Africa, not in the Middle East.

[obtuse flint]

Where?

Here in Argentina I have never met any Farid in person.

Only via the Internet

Tldr: mojang has a contract with its users. However, it and many other companies in a modern context believe they can update and retroactively apply changes to the user agreement to people who didn't agree to the updated changes. It's very illegal and too many companies including mojang have been getting away with it for too long.

Hey guys. I want to learn Spanish for livelihood reasons. However the cultural richness of the region is also important to me. By culture I don’t mean food, or politeness but rather things like literature, dance, political frameworks, etc. Now I am not saying that Latin America doesn’t have this. What I am saying is that so far it’s difficult to fully appreciate what does exist. This is because personally I don’t care about dance. So there’s that. I do care about literature and the latin america literary boom along with magical realism has interested me. The problem is, I think there is a disparity in cultural output between settler colonial and non settler colonial countries. I think non settler colonial countries with sufficent institutions to propagate itself has the most interesting cultures. For me Europe and Asia are great examples. I study literature as a passion, and I like studying the cultural and political contexts of a country. In your opinion, what do you think your country, if you’re latin american, or the region as a whole, has to offer to someone like me?
