Comprehensive end-to-end tests and CI can only attest to correctness , most engineers worth their salt won't review code only in regards to that aspect though.

Sure, everyone can be on their high horse from the comfort of their arm chair.

Well they weren’t silly but they were definitely deluded. They still are.

Tons of people have died for a variety of causes throughout human history. It does not mean that the causes were not silly or deluded. (e.g religious wars, Communism, Fascism etc.)

Please stop spreading misinformation, the European Parliament constituted by the MEPs has zero legislative powers.

The problem with grandiose statements like the GGP's are that they compare a realized outcome with an entirely idealized outcome they have in their brains as an alternative.

Confusing a logarithmic trend with an exponential one is also a classic mistake.

Try harder.

I see downvotes but not rebuttals. I guess facts just trigger some ideologically captured users.

Thank you for confirming.

Which section of the population is allowed to be armed by law and which is not?

Yeah I am aware that post modernists and leftists in general redefine words so that they can play dumb with enough plausible deniability. Equivocation is their bread and butter.

Dualism is not radical by definition, since most cultures during 99.9999% of human history believe/believed in it. What's radical is Scientism.

We should most definitely think of human life higher and above all other life. Unless you are suggesting that e.g someone should even consider ploughing through a car driven by a human to evade running-over a deer.

That's fine when a disagreement (or downvote) is just a signal on the post, but when it's used as a way to silence an opinion (e.g downvotes will hide it) that's even more harmful and malicious. Especially when the guideline

That's just silly. The fact that you disagree with an opinion does not mean that other people should not get the chance to be exposed to it. That's how echo-chambers form.

Isn’t that what Anarchists and Marxists peddle to the peasants?

“Money is that power.” That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever read. Power is power. Members of the Communist Party in the USSR were as wealthy as their subjects, their power differential was enormous.

It's the degree of power they hold, not a binary. A politican in Switzerland has much less power than a politician in China. When your power is to determine which day the recycling truck is dropping-by, hardly anyone wants to coerce

Don't hand over power to politicians, bureaucrats and NGOs. It's not rocket science to need further explanation.

Easily solved, remove the power centers and then the billionaires will have no power to buy or influence with their money.

Why is that the case?

You are making a normative claim (what you want). Not a nominal one (what is). Completely irrelevant, the UK cannot be outside of Europe geographically because of your feelings.

Should cannabis and other currently illegal substances remain as such?

Agreed, instead of focusing on the rampant fraud happening under their watch they are focusing on consensual behaviour between adults.

No, the scammers running those are voting for them.

Thinking that Reddit has any resemblance to reality is what is stupid.

by meta_gunslinger 6mo ago
Are you counting the fakes and the bots? Moreover, as sibling pointed out, content creator != visitor. If Reddit was a representative sample of reality, all governments in the West would have been ran by gay race Communists.

Reddit is a very small subsection of the Internet consisting mainly of basement-dweller radical leftist they/thems. We should not be taking them as a representative sample of the average Anthropic user.
