Ok. It was a near total loss. My point stands.

Guys - Epic lost the lawsuit. That's why nothing changed. Why does this feel exactly like the 2020 election, where one side lost but keeps complaining that everyone is acting like they lost.

I think you misunderstand - there are no other app stores. Only different payment processors.

I'd love to hear your reasoning for why there is a strong chance this will be struck down. The court didn't rule against the Apple Tax, just on the monopoly for payment provider. I understand that many people misunderstand this p

Well... except that explanation only arrived 20 minutes after the original video, after people began pointing out the deception.

Pretty obvious deception, IMHO. If the point is to demonstrate the training (which is copying a human) then why hide the human off screen? Because it creates the impression that it's autonomous. Putting "but it's not autonom

I'm not using straw men or hyperbole. I'm merely pointing out that there are arguments which are structurally the same as yours which are absurd. I'm happy to learn you don't embrace these absurd arguments - it's h

And from my perspective, the whole thing sounds very much like a weird religion. So I guess we should just agree to disagree.

Yesterday Elon came out and said Italians should have more babies to preserve their culture against immigrants: "My advice to all government leaders and people is make sure you have children to create a new generation," he said, &

That's because superdeterminism doesn't imply you shouldn't. Superdeterminism implies that you don't really have a choice as to whether you look both ways.

You're absolutely right. I'm somewhat new here, despite having an old account. I will try harder to follow the guidelines.

I would really appreciate a clear, concise, direct answer to my question. I don't think I'm asking too much.

I'd still love hear you explain how your essay supports the statement that Freud's ideas "not something that can be made piecemeal." This new essay seems to be completely unrelated to the original essay.

I'd love to hear you explain how your essay supports the statement that Freud's ideas "not something that can be made piecemeal." As a single example, I'm pretty happy with his concept of psychological projection, d

by qarl 3y ago
I don't know much about Freud and his theories - but as one example - I'd say that his concept of defense mechanisms seems pretty spot on. The last few years have given us many examples of psychological projection.

by qarl 3y ago
Well - for one - I don't see at all how the well-written, fairly detailed response supports that initial claim. I feel like my four-word rebuttal has as much support as did his initial statement.

> I don't know how familiar you are with Freud, but it's not something that can be made piecemeal. Hm. That seems unlikely.

by qarl 3y ago
That doesn't much help. Their main claim is that it is not normal (and hence political) for a subsidy to be canceled based for failure to make progress. I've seen no evidence supporting that claim, and lots of evidence to counter

by qarl 3y ago
Well - I may be biased, but I've been seeing a lot of claims from Republicans lately which do not closely match reality. Until there's actual evidence, I would be inclined to dismiss them.

by qarl 3y ago
Ah - that makes sense - but does not seem to be OP's original claim.

Well, no. Lawyers that have good arguments just use those good arguments. Lawyers with no good arguments throw everything at the wall.

by qarl 3y ago
Actually, I'm not seeing much practical difference between the two. Could you elaborate on what you deem is obvious?
