Ok. I think going further would bring no benefit and would run against site guidelines. Posting this so you don’t wait for a reply that isn’t coming. Thank you and have a good day.

So let me get this straight: what I think about whether a picture of Mario being rude is a joke or not determines if Elon Musk instituted a rule about impersonation? That makes no sense. You also throw ideas around like me pretending to be

Rather confusing thing to try and pin on me. Could you elaborate on how I’ve caused you to think that?

Given a list of all twitter bans, there would surely be many that we would both agree are obvious parodies. So, obvious is relative, or, a grey area/high weasel potential area to do what you want. So it’s not obvious that anything has

Musk didn’t institute that rule, the rule was already in place. Musk’s change was to ban without first giving a warning.

RPC calls is like ATM machine. Musk’s tweet says RPC’s. The person quoted everywhere arguing with Musk over it’s tweet says RPC calls. Does that count as apostrophe misuse suggesting not being at home with the concept as well?

The article is talking between 8 and 37hz, iirc. General given hearing range is 20hz to 20khz. So the vlf is flirting with that range. Throwing in an aside here, inaudible might be a better word than undetectable. I was always told just be

Hey stemming from this is a lot of talk of eq and rooms. I hope no one minds but may I also add something for budding sound techs: mics and speakers and why it’s easier for a dance venue compared to a live rock venue. These are what I’d cal

Seems as though “official” is for things or groups, like your list of companies, govt depts etc. Where as the checkmark is for people. That line gets blurry when people are things, like influencers. Seems like before, the checkmark filled b

I think they mean valid as in ~useful or ~worthwhile or ~good, because otherwise, as far as I understand it, that would depend on the arguments. And if so, that’s up to the person. Would this be a useful physical example?: evaluating a car

I’ve listened to a lot of Watts, which isn’t to say I understand it but rather I can recall it. your p1 concerns making progress, p2 on being serious. Watts talks on progress being an illusion, that the deer hunter doesn’t see the mountains

Hey, excuse me for using you as an example but there’s a lot of this rough idea in this comment section and I’m rather confused by it. I don’t mean to single you out. What would be wrong with that? In a search for low hanging fruit, the pla

Around a decade ago I saw an analysis of fluoridated drinking water and iirc the positive for drinking over toothpaste is that the fluoride hangs around in the mouth longer for drinking.

I found a way to put those two together. Theoretically. The people ‘really’ in power prioritise staying in power and morph to whatever shape that requires. The strats don’t really change so the avg goes up 10 years every 10 years. “Don’t yo

Here’s my guess: Pinker writes sometimes on evolutionary psychology. A controversy I heard around the atheism plus days was that evopsych should be banned. Therefore it’s likely that Pinker has been declared cancelled. Thus, to mention his

How does this fit together?: "Here's some people who don't fit in to the default social mold, now laugh and mock." “a large swath of probably-white, possibly-poor, definitely autistic people.” Also, Wikipedia says 4chan

I’ve heard it said to be careful. That one may find upon deconstructing their ego, and finding that it’s all an illusion, that they stare into the face of god, and that god is them staring back at them. That they are it. That they are the d

There’s a movie with Natalie Portman where she’s offended by a boy calling her a lady. She thinks she’s being called old. There’s also what I’ll call the Jeremy Clarkson ooo hello ladies, reserved for fancy done up groups of ladies in nice

True. Please allow me to expand my interpretation, not trying to discount yours. One thing would be a talk by Temple Grandin, who had her brain scanned in some way (I’m not sure between mri cat ekg eeg etc but I think fmri). Iirc and very l

Begs the question as to how much Mr Plinkett changed the review landscape? Long form anal sis including the meta, the craft, and how the soup was made. Throw in every frames a painting as maybe another OG. Going beyond is it good or bad x&#

Very stimulating. I am reminded of the mending wall by Frost, of meditations by Aurelius, of Cats Cradle, and Feersum Enjinn. And of the old server mantra of accept the traffic of others but watch the traffic you transmit. Of this lyric “ A

It’s funny that in the context of an article about a genius of language that I’ll admit there would be better, more accurate words, and ways, to say what I’ve tried to say. May I also clarify that I mean no bad will towards to writer or any

This could be done with a few people eg: “The remarkable brain of a nightclub bouncer with the worlds highest IQ.” The article talks of him like he’s a child. Bouncing around at all the attention. Thrilled to make new friends. Bordering on

Having a squiz at the first page of results on that question, seems like it’s a per capita thing of being a large country with few people. Also, “including exports”, which means all the coal etc and thing they export to China etc is being c

I’ve been wondering about “mid phase” internet a bit recently. The time where it opened up to “nerdy” people, after tech professionals, and before general masses. There was a pushback against the internet being serious business. All someone

It would be smart for me to neither confirm nor deny but I will say no. The way I see it the government has its own concerns and they may not align with mine. Can’t necessarily be angry that they’d want to maximise helped people. Not tellin
