Back when I was in high school in the stone ages of the early 00s it was already running into trouble, and by the time I was in college for anything major-specific it was too broad or (as I said) oversimplifying concepts, so a bit of a risk, few lecturers by professors to the class on such things went students pointed it out. Anything research or even grad lvl it was totally and utterly useless. Still makes me roll eyes on some pages in the current year.
I donāt want to self-dox by specifying area, weāll broadly say something in the life sciences thatās both highly specialized yet very interdepartmental. Idk the case for other specialties or areas, Iād imagine theyād have similar issues, perhaps not as terrible as the 2010s but still not good. For most laypeople, the intended audience of encyclopedias, this is probably acceptable. For true in-depth knowledge, there are no shortcuts.
Thought of another good one, for non-technical surface-level knowledge Wikipedia isnāt that great about foreign film information.
Few years ago quite a few CN films had bad propaganda-vandalism going on, notably Kalil Blues (thankfully been fixed, beautiful movie). Some wiki entries were as if whoever wrote them had never seen the film in the first place. Said films were so that regardless of language barrier anyone on 21st earth could shut off subtitles, maybe even picture in more dramatic cases, and tell what was written on the Wiki was not what the film was about. Did we watch the same movie?
Youād think the baseline for an encyclopedia would be at least that, but most people I know of for emergency purposes simply truncate the arts and media sections all together. Itās gotten better over the last few years there was well (controlling edits Iād suspect) or at least having entries in the first place.
Another more mundane film example would be a lot of Cantinflasā films on the English wiki arenāt quite correct (last time I checked was a year ago, was curious about one of the actors) on events within the movie or famous lines/dialogue. Could be a case of randos altering according to memory alone, which we can all admit has its shortfalls.
I thought this was old hat, even when I was in school we were also told not to use Wikipedia as a source since nearly anyone can edit it and their credentials could be suspect, therefore the information could be as well.
Some areas have gotten a lot more scrutiny and are better than they used to be but are still bad (ex history and politics as others mentioned).
Science stuff on there is still rather superficial and over-simplifies a whole lot (issue that was there say 10yrs ago), but its a lot more branched out than it used to be.
For internet doomsday scenarios wikipedia is a nice rough reference rather than a definitive guide, it was never meant for the latter as an encyclopedia. Itād be a poor call to teach off it alone vs dedicated websites or various textbooks and so on.
This is not really a recipe, its more of a generalized bad-for-health cooking hack, add an extra pinch of salt and to meats, if you dare, some MSG in place of some salt.
Georgian eggplant rolls right now, but instead of the real way with walnuts or homemade soft cheese I drain some cottage cheese or tofu with nutritional yeast as ācheeseā, whateverās cheaper that day and roll away. Not as good as with walnuts but a fraction of the price and still good.
I tend to stress myself out about not being able to sleep, since I really enjoy my sleep, and that leads to a vicious cycle. I normally wake up at 6AM and go to bed around 9P, but in the past year or two since developing insomnia who knows when I sleep and I usually wake up around 9A if I do sleep. I once went a week without sleeping at all. Iāve lately been having some good luck with rest and tend to get 5hrs or so, vs the 1-2 I was getting for almost a year.
I try not to eat later than 3pm, Iāve noticed some connection between food and ability to sleep, the later I have my last meal of the day the harder it is for me to sleep at night. Iām also afraid of caffeine now and I donāt have any past noon if I do at all.
Biggest mental thing thatās helped me is realizing most bodies will eventually fall asleep when theyāre ready, and even if I got 0 or just 1 hr of sleep itāll be ok, my body just didnāt want sleep that night. I wonāt be as mentally sharp but I can still try to do challenging things in my day on my lil hr of sleep.
If I donāt fall asleep after 20-30min of lying around Iāll get up and go do something, like read something simple on my phone (in black and white mode) in a chair or play a very mindless game like cards.
Sounds like nostalgia there, I remember around 2006 old reddit was a lot like 4chan, where link Russian roulette was seriously a thing, and I saw things I wish I never did on what seemed like a harmless thread. Redditās always had a shady, icky layer to me. Thereās also the mass, thoughtless consumerism that doesnāt help things along.
I suppose lack of retro gaming discussion is simply because of amount of users, as the site grows I 100% expect it to be made and created. Iāve noticed a lot of comrades like Oblivion for some reason (I personally love modding it like one of those train sets models people spend years on). On emus a rom community perhaps?
Pretty sure investigators have other means to get that information, depending how bad they want to make an example out of KF. KF for a while had its purpose of being digital blackshirts, but when they swatted that senator and the whole business in Ireland they just took it too far.
