Can we talk about that foot?

Found this when snorkling in Greece about 17 years ago when i was just a kid. Always wondered what it was... Anyone an idea? Almost certainly made of metal and i think it is hollow on the inside. in c/whatisthisthing@lemmy.world

Cyberpunk 2077 released in December 2020. Almost 4 years later, what is your opinion on it? in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

I'm with this. Totally agree.

What game is there that does this kind of gameplay better?

Only the original Deus Ex has captured this genre so well.

I don't have one, would it work if I hold yours?

Is anyone checking whether crime is down or whether crime reporting is down?

I'd love to vote for Harris but if I did then I'd be proving Trump right. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

It's even harder than that for me, because I'd have to cross an entire ocean.

Well, I've not broken any laws, but if I were to vote then I would be.

I'd be an Illegal immigrant, and that's illegal, like the mad man has been lying about

The internet has made a lot of people armchair experts happy to offer their perspective with a degree of certainty, without doing the work to identify gaps in their knowledge. Often the mark of genuine expertise is knowing the limitations of your knowledge.

This isn't a social media thing exclusively of course, I've met it in the real world too.

When I worked as a repair technician, members of the public would ask me for my diagnosis of faults and then debate them with me.

I've dedicated the second half of my life to understanding people and how they work, in this field it's even worse because everyone has opinions on that topic!

And yet my friend who has a physics PhD doesn't endure people explaining why his theories about battery tech are incorrect because of an article they read or an anecdote from someone's past.

So I'm curious, do some fields experience this more than others?

If you have a field of expertise do you find people love to debate you without taking into account the gulf of awareness, skills and knowledge?
