Okay, but I don’t interact much with Mormons either. Doesn’t bother me that there’s a Mormon enclave. Not my thing.

I don’t mind more Bangladeshes. Seems like your whole issue is that they’re a different ethnicity. Kids born in the US are citizens and you have no good reason to think they’re worse somehow.

Why wouldn’t they be skilled or motivated? They’re just not tech workers. Even if they were all lazy or whatever, what about their kids?

It doesn’t do more damage though. Our shared culture is like 99% copyrighted media for a variety of reasons. In books for example, the language becomes harder to read, and while many things remain constant across time, old works can become

Legality doesn’t define whether it’s good or bad for humans or their society.

Yup. I’m not sure who downvoted me but I meant my comment as a genuine compliment.

> Introducing this idea of "mocked and ostracized," is a rhetorical tactic to try to establish the idea of some sort of mistreated people that other mistreated people can identify with. It's not based in truth of how the s

That’s just a restatement of the original argument >Anarchist's believes exclude or at least severely limit the state as a force that can prevent warlords, gangs and mob rule which inevitably arise in any power vacuum.

I get the sense smart anarchists don’t want no organization, but organization with borderline zero coercion, and they’ve got complicated ways they imagine that might be possible. I also think many consider an absence of coercion the aim, bu

What’s the point that stands? How do you justify the initial framing of “sounds over a beat”

Complexity isn’t really the thing either. I’ve heard a ton of terrible but technical songs. Often the coolest songs are remarkably simple, yet manage to do something that feels new. A modern example: https://youtu.be/ga8K_di

What I’m hearing is “it’s different music.” Why does this justify a reduction to “sounds with a beat”?

Ever since humanity crawled from the muck it’s had some dude yapping about how uniquely cool and special humans are because it feels good to do and to listen to. As we’ve learned more, we’ve realized that the underlying principles of our th

I think it’s really good for people to have good case studies like this they can refer to in the case of ai prs as a justification rather than having to take the time themselves

Yup i second this mcdonalds is cheap but they hid it as best as they can. You can minmax a good meal with 7.80 or so.

The only place i can get a falafel wrap is 12.50. Alright on a tech salary but way too much for most ppl.

If you were to put your point into more careful words, what would it be?

by BriggyDwiggs42 11mo ago
That doesn’t make sense in any way. People eat what they learn to eat and what’s available. Choice doesn’t enter into the picture unless something sort of bumps you out of your normal headspace and makes you think about it in the first plac

I think the way it ends up working is you’re a sort of very cushioned, comfy (in the US upper middle class, that is) slave not to a boss, but to the entire class of bosses. Sure you could quit, but you’d have to work somewhere or you’d suff

Hmm I think you’re right. That’s really interesting. If this implies it’s a deliberately constructed phenomenon, what mechanisms could be responsible for producing it visually?

by BriggyDwiggs42 11mo ago
Fair. Could you build a receiver that would detect the microwave signal? Probably wouldn’t be too difficult, and you seem like a technical person. You could prove it or, at worst, stop anyone from sending the signal if they wanted to avoid

I’ve seen these videos. They depict what it would be like to be a human in the body of the animal, not what the animal would go through. There’s presumably a lot of suffering that wouldn’t be useful as a signal to the tripod fish. For examp

That’s ridiculous though. A normal life for an animal involves lots of hardship, but also pleasure. Factory farms are 24/7 torture for the entire life of the animal. It’s like being born in hell.
