I don’t. Slippery slope is always a fallacy until it affects something we want to conserve. There has been a huge push for an absolute lack of censorship in games, so it’s… pretty predictable that we’d see the pendulum swing back, I guess?

I’ll never get over the hypocrisy of people loving steam and its exclusives while hating EGS and its exclusives. I’ve never seen an almost purely tech-focused crowd pull so hard for a monopoly before.

I’m saying they’re pretending that they’re more moral than him. They aren’t, of course. Hell, for a tell-all book, it was extremely benign. Flouting minor laws, not taking care of his health, and being mean? Ahh! And I’m not surprised that

Do you give credit when people are brave enough to admit they have… positive traits? Why would someone even bother with saying that stuff? “Everyone, I’m bravely showing you my spotless record” is really not an impressive showing. Being wil

Nothing I’m saying implies I don’t think they’re speaking how they truly feel. I absolutely believe they genuinely believe them when they say he’s some kind of monster because he didn’t get chemo (???) and was rude to people and took up han

It's a very difficult balance to strike imo. People do take niceness and humor as signs that you're not quite as "professional". Of course, other people don't make this mistake, but we don't live in a vacuum

I had no idea - I'll be diving into this next! Thanks so much for the suggestions!

So? Who cares why he died? Is it wrong to die for a reason you disagree with? If the world is no worse off without him, then wasn't his judgement neutral at worst, and good at best? It's weird how much he gets under the skin of pe

That's pretty dumb. There are literally thousands upon thousands of companies you purchase from every single day where this happens or has happened. Why do you only care about Jobs? Answer: because he was the only one brave enough to

The guy lied and didn't register his car and handled his own sickness in a way you don't like? The horror! Sure, complain about him forcing his way onto lists if we're willing to accept that all humans are truly equal (I&

There was a Walter Isaacson-authored biography which was extremely open and honest. Jobs wanted everything fully exposed, to include how terrible he was to his children, how intimidating he was to his employees, and how overpowering he was

And seeing as how time is only something observed at the macro level and is still completely unexplainable scientifically, you're really hitting the nail on the head here.

It's not similar to this at all. There is still a safe direction which exists - if you could reverse your fall, it would take you back to the plane. There is no reversing your "fall" into a singularity. "Out" no lon

by kulahan 1y ago
One of the more mind bending aspects of this is how the horizon becomes inescapable. The singularity is the only “forward” that exists anymore. You cannot conceivably go anywhere else. Every direction becomes “in”.

Incestual children can lead to a pretty significant number of medical issues.

That makes complete sense - thank you for explaining. It's correct that nuclear would not be in this group here.

by kulahan 1y ago
Is there some reason nuclear isn’t considered while wind is?

I think you might have a slightly off-kilter view of what I mean. Regulation is not inherently good. Large corporations will often work through lobbyists (I don’t think anyone can deny the incredible access powerful lobbyists have in the US

This failure is primarily due to regulatory capture, rather than a failed free market approach, for what it’s worth.

Not that I think it's necessarily appropriate to discuss here, but I've also been of the opinion that fiber is pretty dang necessary for health. It limits calorie uptake, it massively helps shield against sugar uptake, it helps us

We didn't have vaccines millions of years ago, so we didn't evolve with them. We've always been eating, so our bodies literally evolved completely around resource acquisition . Why is this such a complex concept for so many?
954.
by kulahan 1y ago
So, the time to bring up concerns about an appropriately built fire exit is not while you are actively evacuating from the fire. Arguing that there may be dangerous long-term effects for a vaccine makes no sense when the alternative is the

Oh for sure - I didn't really consider software development because I barely consider it a practice - it literally slipped my mind. I refuse to call it software "engineering" because there's not a single real engineer in

I’m certain IF more closely resembles how humans ate for millions of years, not knowing when our next meal would come before becoming an agrarian society, and we haven’t had much time to evolve since then. So, yeah, dieting is modern, but s

Right, so exactly like I said, it's very simple. If you want to lose weight, reduce calories. If you add extra modifiers like "I want to feel great while doing it" and "I want to lose weight while sedentary" and &qu

The reason we can't have whatever nice things you want is because California doesn't want to spend the money on that nice thing, and it has to maintain a budget, unlike nations. Including a $40 Billion project on a budget makes ma

We didn't even know what "junk DNA" did until like 25 years ago. We've discovered a couple new body parts in the last 50 years. We don't have any real understanding of how basic, foundational parts of medicine work

I think many people confuse simple with easy. It IS simple to reduce your weight. There are like, two things you need to do. It is, however, VERY hard to actually do those things.
