  • Many people are giving wrong answers. Cognitive dissonance is NOT simply holding two opposing ideas in your head. Cognitive DISSONANCE is the uneasy feeling people are supposed to get when holding discongruent ideas at the same time.

    Some people do not feel cognitive dissonance at all even while openly voicing the opinions. Great examples are all over politics. If one is for women having the freedom to make their own medical decisions, but oppose abortion bejng legal, those are two opposing views that SHOULD trigger unease and make them reconsider one position or the other.

    A better example is people that believe laws should apply equally to everyone, but then go on to say Trump should totally be immune. That SHOULD cause dissonance, but it doesn’t for far too many.









  • Bandwidth really depends on which busses you’re talking about. Within a computer, 8Gb/s is peanuts.

    Even in 2003, a single PCIE v1.0 lane could do 2 Gb/s. Today, in the end-user commercial space, a single PCIE 5.0 lane can do 32Gb/s. That’s a connection that can be external to some degree. Not even talking about memory busses and internal caches that are already approaching terabytes a second.

    Dude talking like he’s never even heard of Schadenfreude… Not only is it cathartic, but it’s educational if you pay attention to what people are making fun of.

    What to learn from the cybertruck? That billionares are fucking morons and that the meritocracy is a lie. They, in fact, do not deserve their wealth. Any of them, but especially not Elongated Muskrat.

    If they’ve lived SEVENTY YEARS and haven’t come to realize that black people and lgbtq+ people are JUST normal people trying to live a moderately different life…

    Then yes, yes they are maliciously stupid. Ignorance eventually becomes a choice after so many oportunities have been passed up.
