Are you really comparing a living arrangement where adults regularly have sex in front of you due to overcrowding to "seeing your parents having sex?"

by sorcerer-mar 1y ago
Right, you prefer other conditions because they're better. We have decades of research to show that more space and privacy is not merely a matter of comfort. Or, if it is, that "comfort" affects more things than one would exp

I said we should want a world free of violence, and not purposely exposing people to violence as a matter of daily life (such as public hangings) is an important step towards that. Both in the direct sense that public violence is obviousl

Because if you need to spend time in a classroom, or a workplace, or form romantic relationships, it's important that you have attitudes that are somewhat in line with meaningful portions of the society around you. Obviously.

> Maybe we need to bring back superheroes who beat the shit out of the bad guys. Superheroes don't exist and never have. People who work tirelessly to chip away -- often imperceptibly -- at sources of badness exist. That's it.

Do you want your kids to grow up in a single-room household with 4 adults and 8 children?

Is public hanging "teaching kids about bad stuff?" No.

Spoken like someone who lives in the least violent era of human history. Does the fact that you can't ride a unicorn to work compel you to settle for walking 7 miles barefoot? Or is the sensible thing to do to constantly chip away at s

Yes, and that was bad . If you prefer a society free of violence (I do), then exposing people to violence in their daily life is bad.

The issue is that we raise kids into this world, and not a different time and place. They grow up to be maladapted to this world.

by sorcerer-mar 1y ago
No but the living conditions were atrocious, dangerous, unsanitary, and probably quite psychologically traumatizing (e.g. kids growing up in households where adults would have sex in the same room have all sorts of problems) Edit: Since HN

I think urbanists should be a lot more cautious of throwing Austin around as a success story. It is still too early to say whether they've found a good equilibrium in supply/demand that limits price increases or they're cre

Strongly disagree. I know a lot of losers with a lot of money, and most people around them think they're fundamentally losers too.

by sorcerer-mar 1y ago
It's called being a loser and we should ostracize such losers at every turn. Making money won't make them less of a loser. Can't wash it off, actually.

I think you should consider reasoning about reality in real terms instead of offloading to metaphors that, by design, don’t add any more information to the discussion than your own conclusions. By the way, it’s a “binocular” system. “Bicame

It's hilarious to see Tesla fans try to act like designing for an undefined operational domain is somehow extra brilliant and not one of the stupidest fucking ideas anyone has ever come up with.

by sorcerer-mar 1y ago
Tesla doesn't release the data required to assess this. And from that information alone, you can get the gist of what that data says! (inb4 you post the accidents per mile chart which is very obviously useless and designed to mislead m

Real estate inflation is a pretty obvious way it does that.

"slightly more indirectly" is an interesting way to say "by distorting local economies and politics around the idiosyncratic needs and desires of a very small number of uber-wealthy foreigners."

You underestimate how gobsmackingly dumb this administration is, IMO. They've cancelled extremely important, multi-year or -decade long clinical trials just for funsies.

The mapping from DNA to health outcome is unbelievably chaotic/high-cardinality, then mixed in with various environmental/social/cultural factors that don’t show up in DNA at all. Drugs are in fact how we come to understand

So in other words, the original poster who I replied to is wrong, and I am correct. You are now saying the exact thing that I stated above.

You can go do some reading on Third Party Doctrine if you'd like. SCOTUS ruled there are some instances where private use of a service is 1) effectively necessary for modern life and 2) leaks a huge amount of information about the pers

“Don’t post your photos on social media” is precisely describing a chilling effect on people’s expression, i.e. the exact thing the First Amendment is designed to protect against.
