Well sorry then for reading your brief comments that way. Since my Spanish sucks I can't blame you. But come on, we see cops doing things like jumping on people . Do their colleagues protest that? Do they go on strike until such actio

I think you both missed that; it's about the arrangement of world chunks, not about the arrangement of tiles within those world chunks.

Video evidence of other protesters being violent, excusing any and all attacks by police? You're only digging yourself deeper and don't even realize it. By the same token, just one attack by a cop on a non-violent person justified

Who you think I am is completely irrelevant to who I am, that is something established by me from the inside if you will. It's done before the question whether an observer exists even arises. So yes, you wouldn't know either way,

I think it starts even sooner than that, with the confusion of abstractions and reality. Ralph Waldo Emerson described it in "Blight". Another thing that comes to mind is comparing "using science for this stuff" with a d

The way I see it, tribalism isn't unity. Unity, meaningful and lasting unity, that is, exists between people who are in harmony with themselves and each other. It doesn't require uniformity, it requires the absence of deformation

Parents don't really have to do anything special to earn the trust of their children most of the time. And the point of raising a child should be to raise a person, not a child. Yes, when a kid runs into the street you just grab it b

The type of comment written by someone not bombed to shreds by a drone or being born a cow in a factory and so on? Civilization isn't the only source of progress, and it's the source of a deep alienation, too. That is, when it ove

I wonder what, say, 100 fps video shot with an exposure of 1/25 would look like. You'd need 4 cameras or a special camera to record it, but that could be simulated. It would probably look bad, but maybe in an exciting new way? Has

Magic lantern truly is, well, magic. When my 30D died, I bought an 50D with some ambivalence; I wanted a "real body" and can't justify the price tag any of the #D series, but the 50D can't record video. Then I installed
