That's deep! That's what i call the real power of social. You can always trust that your neighbor is watching you...
How could a sane supposedly normal person come up with an idea of such a link? How could a group of such people to implement and release it to the public? Did they suppress their vomiting reflex? Or may be they just don't have it at all, like drones.
- mechanical_fish 15y agoHow could a sane supposedly normal person come up with an idea of such a link? It's all part of the magical thinking. If you know someone's True Name, you have the power to require them to be polite. But if it turns out that you don't have their real True Name, your spells will fizzle! Geez, the more you think about the "civility" rationale the harder your head hurts. Let's go back to the simpler explanation: Google wants to require everyone to use a canonical identifier to make it easier to perform the giant JOIN across your entire life. Now the rationale of the "report your neighbor" link becomes clear: People who don't use their True Names are committing the mortal sin of... (shudder)... denormalization. Off with their heads!
