Meh, the thread is dead so I just wanted to say thanks. I am kinda passionate about certain things like liberty. I'm actually pretty moderate, just verbose. I'm not scared. They don't scare me. They put on a tough face. I&#x2

They speak of the Philsophy of Mathematics. I typed a lot out and chose to delete it. In short, it is considered the highest order among Mathematicians. However, us Applied Mathematicians just get on with the real work and have pretty much

I get her specialty spectrum lamps. She knits and crafts and lives under them until spring when, I kid you not, she goes out and forages in the woods. (Fiddleheads.) She isn't really a bear.

So, we have a starting point. Now, would you then agree that the primary purpose of a networked group of computers is the exchange of information? If you will agree to that, will you also agree that communication is information? If you will

I'd argue your use of 'we.' Have you ever seen what happens when we dehumanize our enemies? Have you seen what happens when we lose empathy? These people you hate are, without a doubt, able to exhibit some pretty poor behavio

Let's try something. Do you believe that the Internet should be a basic human right, that affordable access should be made reasonably available for everyone on the planet?

From a logical viewpoint, assuming a pragmatic approach, that'd be pretty handy. From a political approach, it's almost required. I know, you probably think I'm wrong. Hear me out. Imagine if Trump just announced he was layin

Again, I ask what good is a right if one can not reasonably exercise it? I also suggest we are veering too far from the topic. To be very, very clear - Reddit is under no obligation to allow anything they do not wish to allow.

I don't think you actually read what I said. Please do so. You will note that I point out that no rights are violated and even provide an alternative. You asked a question, I gave you the answer. Please, really, read all the words and

You didn't read what I wrote. Reddit is absolutely free to do this. Voat exists, if they want a place to speak.

Because we as a society have decided even the least among us deserve a base amount of human rights and freedoms and those aren't taken away without due process in a just society. I don't expect to change your mind. It's okay.

It's a bit of a problem, really. They take URLs away, they refuse to host them, etc... So, I'd say what good are rights if you can't reasonably exercise them? Don't get me wrong, I really don't like Nazis. They are

Yeah, that was a couple of years ago and a clear line in the sand. No illegal content. A good choice. Free speech doesn't include illegal content. Well, it doesn't to most rational people.

by KGIII 9y ago
I mean overall. It helps Reddit maintain their goals. I meant more specifically the problem with, you know, the fact that we still have Nazis.

by KGIII 9y ago
I'd argue they have no moral obligation to do any such thing. However, they should probably make a pretty clear warning sign. I fear we will digress too far. In short, I'm very pro freedom of expression. I'm glad voat exists,

The effect is largely the same, now isn't it? In fact, they recently published a study showing the efficacy of their sub closures from a couple of years ago. People leave, effectively silenced. They can do that. It is their right. It&#

It's really, really not easy to stand up for the rights of Nazis. If you're a Nazi, you can use voat.co as they are very free speech oriented. You don't have to be a Nazi to participate, but it's a good idea to have a th

That gets installed right after cowsay. I have my priorities.

To be fair, that's not actually what libertarian means. Well, not traditionally. It is the opposite side of authoritarianism on the political compass. Taken to absurd levels, it is anarchy and would mean no taxes to a government or wha

Not really, no. We grow so much extra corn that it's easily recouped. Don't get me wrong. This is a problem. This is not okay. It's just this isn't quite Set The World Ablaze And Panic level bad. Is mostly just annoying.

The US has never had a true democracy, and this is by design.

And you wonder why your side keeps losing elections. If you're curious, I am on the left.

We have SAD here, quite a bit of it. The missus suffers from it a bit, so I plant her under special lights and feed her tasty food until spring. I'm pretty sure she is part bear. She hibernates for the winter. I, of course, love it. Bu

Yeah, you know where I live, as I recall? You should come visit. ;-) Anyhow, we'd have to throw the clock off a full two hours to get any benefit. It's just getting light at 0700 and already getting dark at 1600 - during the short

It's dark when we go out. It is dark when we come home. We get down to about 8 hours of daylight, I'm pretty sure. 8:15, I think? I could Google that. I'm at about the 47th.

Maybe a better advisor would have helped them find a research topic that engaged them? I really didn't care much about traffic. I cared about Chaos Theory and MDOT had free traffic data and DEC was willing to loan me some hardware. Tha

Yeah, it really screws with us up here. Once you get up above the meridian, days get pretty short in the winter. Moving those hours around helps exactly none. No farmer has their life improved. It's not saving energy. It's just a

To put that 3 million into perspective, the US has about 90 million acres of just corn.

There are still some wild Atlantic salmon, if you don't mind a bit of a drive and hike.
