Correct! I will edit my previous comment to make it more clear. (Edit: Nvm, I'm not able to edit that comment any more, I've still not understood the edit-function here)

Well, yes? Very simplified... It is a suppressor of symptoms like pain and fever which are the bodies way of letting you know something is damaged and killing off unknown foreign bodies respectively. Suppressing symptoms does not remove the

If by dig you mean lazily sweep the front door while listening to dance music, then yes, I agree with you :)

Please never change (in thus regard at least)! I agree with you, it's not obviously clear what "advanced" means in this context if we don't automatically equate it with humanlike.

There is also the fact that an agreement under a power imbalance can be, and often is, exploitative.

But... Which one of TRUTH and FAKE NEWS is the equivalent of boolean TRUE and FALSE respectively???? The original options are more clear imo, even though they show their age.

And the concept of web of trust and signing parties just gets more and more valuable for each day!

Yeah, I really think this is a big part of it: more control and harsher social punishment for less. Unfortunately it is not only a bad thing.

Would you mind sharing a link to that plugin?

Thank you, maybe you could share a link or specific search term I should use. Because I guess I'm just bad at searching, since none of the text or video guides I've found contain the information I'm looking for. (I want a sor

Maybe it's time to try Flattr again? (And this time with a solid option for companies too!)

Is that really true? Isn't it the other way around: the public sector funds the private sector that allows people to amass their hoards?

To me it looks very much like a scale... Anyone that works at FAANG or "big"/mobile game studios, anything to do with advertising, banking, natural resources extraction/processing, non-sustansible farming, etc, etc. In m

For me this is todays new conceptual thought! Or something like this, just trying to express that I've never really thought about it like that. That we don't really interact with original works when we read/listen to translat

Small typo in the first paragraph: "Strart" should probably be "Start" unless it's ragebait to gain engagement.

Thank you for reminding me, this is so fun to have bobbing around in the back of your mind! :D

You are correct, I'm not sure how I missed the second part of your original comment, my apologies! (I thought I could edit my first comment, but I can't, so this comment will have to do.)

I just noticed (and got a chuckle out of) something: To me it looks like you first "assumed malice", got called out and now don't want to be assumed malignant yourself. Thanks for the chuckle! But in seriousness: would you mi

What a great article! > Absolutely right. There is a certain cowardice in how we deal with death in the contemporary west. This is one of my favourite topics. I had forgotten to bring "cowardice" to the table when thinking abou

I enjoyed the article, well written and engaging. (It gave me a small sense of reading a recipe blog where the meta is to tell an enormous backstory) I kind of sympathise with the premise of trying to somewhat soften the economic-worldview

Not who you asked, but no, old ingrained cultural thing! The trick is to trick us into not realising we are interacting, then we are quite friendly and polite :)

Well, that's not entirely true, you just have to be a bit particular about when and how to start the conversation. Things I find work most of the time in Sweden to get started is complaining about something mutually bothersome, annoyin

Yes, that very simple task :D But I also wonder if that is actually an equivalent. I think of "common sense" as think you should know to function well in your current society. I really don't know what "casual knowledge&q

I read it as "casual" rather than "causal", got very dissapointed while reading the article! An inventory of casual knowledge would be really fun, although it's hard to think what it would consist of now that I thin

Yes! But more importantly wealthy countries shouldn't depend on there being poor countries where women still have "too" many children but rather we should fix our own problems so we want and can have sufficient young people o
