Well, I dont remember any "immigrants for the poor" movements. But I know from personal experience that Lions Club and Rotary people actually sometimes do something useful for the poor with their money... Given that context, do y

No. Just because a conservative is not willing to support a liberal position, that doesn't make them automatically a fascist. In fact, thats the core of my criticism. Political views are a spectrum , and you can't just push so

Yes. If you pretend to be the better person, you better make sure you act like it. If you give up and fall back to name calling, people will judge you based on your actions. "But I used to be the good guy" doesn't count at

I would love if the public discourse would allow for more diversity of opinions. Unfortunately, where I come from, the left has simplified the rhetoric to "If you are of a different opinion then we are, you are either badly educated (

The left pretty much falls into the same trap all around the world. Its almost funny to watch when a leftist realises that immigrants are right-leaning. The typical reaction is to fall back to elitism and claim those immigrants must be st

Well, I see an e-bike analogy around the corner. People dont want to invest the energy anmore, now that they can buy expensive batteries to help with the pedaling. That is pretty much the human nature.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. W

As if Israel was the only reason to not vote for Harris. I dont remember much of her "platform" that actually would be in my interest. Make-believe-minority-politics isn't for the masses.

So a country with 3% of the population of the US can throw the US into lawlessness or transform the US into a dictatorship? Pretty weak structure if that actually works.

Thanks! Came here to ask how to make pyright work with uv scripts... pyright --pythonpath $(uv python find --script foo.py) foo.py

I used to do offline mixes with a (partly generated) shell script that calls several sox instances to do the mixing/tempo change/volume adjustments. As a CLI person, I liked that approach, although I would be happy for something

Well, people that judge others from a distance and immediately throw in their opinion basically always come across as bullies. Likely because they are, maybe without noticing. Ironic? I tend to disagree. While the internet and especially

Well, to some kids (I used to be one of them), the world outside is hostile, unfair and pretty much depressing. I used to basically just have my "keyboard", and it was a wonderful way of escaping the reality and dullness of human

I submit, given your example, if I refuse to give the necessary blood transufion, I am the asshole.

However, in that particular case, her freedom trumps the "freedom" of the child, because for some reason, the child isn't allowed to make their own decisions growing up.

How you mixed Trump into this is actually fascinating. I have a different stance. Democrats would have won if half of the feminist/left weren't hung up on useless social studies and other modern soft science bullshit. Its a tur

Haha, when I finished that paragraph of yours, before clicking on the link, I thought of exactly the scene you linked :-)

I am sure there is a ton of people that used more or less your exact words 55 years ago when talking about The Doors, for instance... Are you sure what you're feeling isn't basically a generic knee-jerk reaction many parents have

To me it all sounds like "I don't like your music, society is going to end".

I am not suprised about anything coming out of soft "sciences" since I witnessed my former gf basically blackmailing her supervisor into accepting her rather unscientific PhD. Actually, I basically lost all trust in the perceived

> an excess of liberty, a confusion of social norms, and the weakening of authority that soon descends into lawlessness. Well, that describes about every ranting grumpy grandpa unhappy with the younger generation. Seems a tad too generi

It struck me as an euphemism as well. But thats the whole abortion debate. After all, pushing the timeline up from conception to a convenient point where abortion "feels" like it isn't murder yet is a pretty deliberate move

I feel like you are describing life. And your paragraph could be rephrased by striking every occurance of "therapist" and it would still be valid. Hence, therapists are pretty much useless, they dont provide anything a friend or

While I am not ready to argue for LLMs in therapy, I know that mental health professionals also feel very much like an echo chamber. At least my experience is that if you confront them with harsh enough reality, they basically fail to prov

Wait, are you saying there was a deeper meaning to S5E14 of Big Bang Theory "The Beta Test Initiation"? That would be quite hilarious.

Not just parents. Its a method that actual addicts employ. I have heard this not only once. "Moved a few months to a rural place where I had no access to the stuff to get my system clean" is a tactic that people turn to. Heck,

Ethernal September is actually a thing, so he isn't that wrong. I get the aversion towards elitism... But those of us who used the Internet in the 90s still know what happened when the "masses" started to flood it.

You can't be serious, right? I don't even want to imagine how many people would accidentally kill themselves or at least seriously damage their health if that was the status quo.
