I think that's patently wrong. Babies and children in general absorb languages much easier than adults do. See children of parents speaking two different languages. By the time they reach school age they are fluent in both languages, a

Maybe it would help if you'd tell us why they're nonsensical. By the engagement these submissions get it looks like most people at least entertain, if not support them.

Maybe you're right, but if you see no connection between the trivialization of violence and murder (that most media, not just games is pushing) and the attitude society has to the same violence I feel like maybe we're living in di

Thank you, it sounds a little like a meme, and I had never heard of it. :)

One is not like the other though. How does espresso increase cholesterol, it's just water and coffee in there, just like filter?

Yeah, I can understand what you mean, when I bought mine they didn't really have screens larger than 1080p. Luckily that didn't matter for me at the time. I wanted to support them again, but I chose the new framework in the end. W

In Europe you can have a look at Tuxedo computers. They have some sweet configurations with the previous AMD CPU generation for reasonable prices. Full disclosure however, I had one of their Pulse 13 laptops (2 generation ago I think), on w

I have no information about this specific case, but generally speaking I think that it would be in their best interests for an intelligence agency to push their asset to the top of the org through any means in order to maximise their impact

Just so there isn't any doubt: I dismiss your initial theory that somehow the response to the Corona virus is a violation of anyone's bodily autonomy. My whole thread here was about trying to understand your reasoning, and perhaps

What do you mean 80% of the global population? OK, don't answer that, I did my own research[1] and from the Western democracies that have mandatory military service there are: Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Greece and Eston

Exceptions don't invalidate rules. Jesus, it's like I'm debating with preschoolers.

by mariusor 2y ago
The ethical system on which modern Western societies are built allows for body autonomy, while at the same time covers some corner cases: war, pandemic, etc. The fact that there are exceptions doesn't somehow invalidate the basics.

I'm not sure I'm ready to accept the fact that having rights restricted is a body autonomy issue outside of being in solitary confinement. I commented in a different thread about "exigent conditions" which sometimes can

I think the draft qualifies as "exigent conditions" in which some rights and ethics get suspended in favour of the "greater good", or if you mean mandatory military service, I think most western nations stopped having th

Outside of ethical systems with heavy religious influences, what kind of society doesn't accept one's autonomy over their own body?

Have you tested the waters with a request for the devs to remove whatever you consider suspicious in that list? I believe the current issue regarding Firefox is it's new terms of use, which are not presently in Zen browser. Other than

Zen browser which is a relatively modern fork of Firefox. https://zen-browser.app It's relatively new, but I liked using it more than other of the forks.

I think everyone is unsettled about the fact that Mozilla was able "to help you ... as you indicate" for twenty years before today without the need of a license agreement. And so we ask: what's changed?

To put on a stiff upper lip on the situation: we should be waiting for a cabinet nomination any day now.
