How prevalent was colon cancer a) historically and b) since the advent of colonoscopies?

Wouldn't it? What about the TV stations repeating it, or any other platform available? I didn't realise social media was so new! The situation says more about the deep division and anxiety within society that made it possible tha

No. What the hell is wrong with all this absolutism. As I mentioned elsewhere, these platforms should have moderation guidelines from the outset that they adhere to. Now they play political games instead. If a platform is too large to be

And is it those platforms' responsibility to enforce thought-crime intervention anyway? It's easy after the fact to lay blame, but interfering in discussion, even heated and wild, is an easy slope into censorship and tyranny.

And of course nothing from stopping Biden creating his own platform should the tables turn, right? It's true the large social platforms are privately owned and so they can censor to their hearts content, but given the obliquity and int

by headsoup 5y ago
So sneaky censorship instead then? Or you could just present people with the data and let them make up their own minds. We have to stop thinking we're on the 'right' side and it's ok to silence the 'wrong.' Th

How did the 'insurrection' cause catastrophic risk to Twitter?

I think you missed the bit where the platform removed content for the mere mention of Trump. So you agree YouTube is perfectly ok to remove content because it mentions 'the opinion of a man about election results.'? And if Trump w

Definitely a good idea to let corporate social media behemoths decide what is acceptable speech. What could possibly go wrong?

by headsoup 5y ago
Yes only free speech for the 'intelligent.'. I wonder what you might be a bit ignorant about in future that would require restricting your participation... Amazing how many people support tyranny by thinking they are on the side o

I think additionally, the 'casual' user needs to understand Monero, Bitcoin, L2, Ethereum, etc just to make in informed choice of what to use, knowing which are best for privacy, convenience, security, etc. It appears there are so

You just explained exactly what I assumed is going on. Great, Wayland has a bright extensible future, but right now it doesn't solve anything so special that common users (or distro owners) desire moving over, hence the low usage of W

What credentials do I need to state and opinion on how it seems to have evolved? I'm not stating a scientific truth. And yes, it is the fallacy of credentialism to attempt to use that as a measure of authority to make a statement. I

This is what I don't get. Wayland seems not to have started with solving some of the X11 problems first but on a strong framework, it seems to just be reinventing the wheel and hoping to catch up and fix the problems somewhere along t

Sounds like Trudeau... Is this senator 100% wrong all the time? Which bits are wrong? Sounds more like you've just used this comment section to launch your own rant against a voice that's too loud for your liking...

I think perhaps there was just a greater general acceptance of the output of academia in the past, if the so called models or 'scientific process' were followed. Now it is much easier to come across the material, opinions and rese

The old having one's cake and eating it too. I get the optimism there, but I just can't see how the incentives possibly give way to each other there. Just have to ask kindly that those manipulating the platforms for profit stop?

I think the hope of Bitcoin is for countries where regulation and corruption impact one's ability to transfer and manage their money through banks, they have a separate, isolated system not vulnerable to that. But cryptocurrency doesn&

Fair enough. Thanks for the input and clarification

That's two incompatible things though...

No they're more like airbags. The don't stop the accident but they do make it immensely more survivable. It's amazing how much we've forgotten about how vaccines and immunity work over the last couple of years.

No they're not. A) there's more vaccinated in hospital per capita of late. Why aren't we demanding lockdowns again instead of just blaming the "unvaxxed" still B) the unvaxxed still aren't allowed into many

Seems we've forgotten all about how viruses work over the last couple of years. Without a vaccine, viruses will still evolve to be less virulent and more transmissible, leading to endemic status. Within this a large number of the popu
