These people like the TFA’s author who come up with good-faith solutions to problems caused by those acting in (very) bad faith… I mean, bless their hearts, but they just seem so completely naive. No policy will ever be pursued by the US g

No one cares. You’re standing for a shibboleth. How many FB memes have you seen that say “annoy a liberal, turn off CNN”, or something similar? Why attack free speech when you can use marketing to convince people to censor themselves, and e

This is certainly what we’re taught, isn’t it. Try this on for size, as abhorrent as you’ll initially find it: speech doesn’t matter. Marketing does. Ideas aren’t about debate. They’re about memetics. Why ban speech when you have Fox News?

If it causes errors in monetary calculations that can hardly be described as an edge case.

The real solution is to get rid of fossil fuels as quickly as possible and by any means necessary, no matter the cost.

tl;dr: LISP and Smalltalk have the only True REPLs because only in those can you rebuild the interpreter and redefine classes without restarting. Everything else is just so cute with how hard they try.

Nice. Though about adding blinds? I got some from IKEA about a year a go and have been super happy with them. Have them set to open 45min after sunrise, and close 30min before. Love em.

Alternatively, you could accept what is at root a rather small thing, and adjust you own reaction. That’s what I did when those kind of titles started to become common.

I do not know how to put it into words, but the simplistic morality expressed here makes me uncomfortable. While I also find remote controlled war to be abhorrent, nevertheless this attitude seems… overly simplistic?

You sound fairly rational to me. Do you, in fact, worship the ground he walks on?

> I've been accused several times recently of believing "Russian propaganda" about the war in Ukraine which of course I find very offensive. When and by whom?

Where are they? I see them failed against multiple times a day, but only see the complaints about them, and not the actual subject of those complaints.

Still refusing to answer. - What ad agency does Tesla use? - what networks have they advertised on? - Multiple people in this thread have pointed out to you the difference between advertising and marketing. Do you still claim they are one a

About what? What evidence is not being considered? Or… maybe my zealotry is for objectivity. To not using language as a tool to achieve predetermined outcomes. So, I noticed you didn’t answer the Question about which ad agency it is Tesla

Unlike you, I don’t give two shits about Tesla. We could put Musk, Bezos, Putin, and a random Saudi prince in a line and shoot them all, execution style, and I would not give a fuck . What I do care about is truth. I worship truth. It is m

> You sweet summer child. Suck my fat hog, cunt. None of those are ads. They are promotional marketing. I’m sorry you are so possessed by this need to hate and ridicule, but Tesla doesn’t advertise. That does not mean they do not promote

You’re the one obsessed with a word. Tesla markets. They have marketing. They made marketing videos. They do not advertise. They do not have commercials, or buy ad space in newspapers or magazines, buy space on billboards, or banner ads, us

Not an ad.

by revscat 5y ago
This gets brought up every time. Tesla has never said they don’t do marketing, or have a PR department. They have said they don’t advertise. If you have evidence saying otherwise please do share.

I agree with you, but forced degrowth is an option when other solutions become ineffective.

Growth. Every government on Earth is based around growth. To question growth is taboo, in the religious sense of the word. In most modern societies, in fact, it is more acceptable to question religion than it is to question growth. Growth i

How so? Saudi Arabia still exists. There is not a single country on Earth who has taken the necessary steps. Hell, the EU is being threatened existentially by a fascist Russia, and they barely even entertain the idea of reducing natural gas

Not only how it existed, but how people could find cause to send their own children there.

by revscat 5y ago
What justification was used by your parents in sending you there?

by revscat 5y ago
Except that what they were doing is better described as outreach, and was done openly and in apparent good faith. Such outreach is especially important given the prevalence of FSB psyops — actual psyops — throughout the world.

I echo the sibling comment on asking for an explanation as to why you feel that this is a bad thing. Are you American? If so, would you rather the government not make their case to influencers?
