The solstices, as we know them, are a Western idea that has been propagated through European colonialism and conquest. They are now widely accepted around the world, but this was not always the case.

Cultures like India, Japan, and natives in Australia or Northern Canada (as a small handful of examples) have historically split the seasons into as few a 6 seasons and as many as like 24. Then, there are some cultures in tropical climates that simply use two. Different areas of the world are going to have varying climate changes during the year (dry season vs. wet season, monsoon seasons, etc.) that influence how seasons are perceived. In Europe, spring and autumn were particularly important for farming.

Your general feeling comes from what you know, and what you know is limited to your personal worldview.

Technically correct

Interesting thought, but not all cultures historically broke the seasons into four parts as is common now. The current common four season status quo is very Euro-centric and spread from Western influence.

Jesus Christ, the mental gymnastics and goal post moving.

Drowning is not water poisoning, and if you can’t figure out why, that’s no one’s problem but your own.

I think most can agree that AI has some great use cases, but I also think most people dont want AI in their damn toaster.

If you can tolerate giving Musk $165 a month, Starlink makes it possible to work remote without issue on a boat. But also you have to give Elon $165 a month, so…

Or wait until Amazon has their own network so you can give Bezos your $165…yay.

I’ve often thought about this kind of thing myself. Hang in there, I guess. :/

From a technical perspective, I wonder what they do with those seldom viewed videos. Do they get stored somewhere in slower, deep storage, only to be eventually transferred out and cached when they’re actively receiving views? I imagine you wouldn’t want to waste faster, more expensive storage on something that’ll likely rarely to be retrieved.

I don’t understand this. The older I get, the more angry I get at the system and want to tear it down 🤔
