Just maybe with a bit less sex appeal?
Counter point: sex appeal is fine.
It’s the people who are pushy irl who are the problem. IMO you can still be very “sexy” and as long as you don’t push it, that’s not a problem.
The animal and human dichotomy seems mostly religious in nature.
Agreed, and interestingly, it can be interpreted in one of two ways:
I guess both are true.
Short question: how would they enforce that? What if I use some obscure messenger that nobody has ever heard of? What if I simply use telnet
or netcat
to send messages to other people?
I’m introducing the theory of an “r-factor” that measures how capitalistic a country is.
r = 0 means pure socialism. Everybody gets the same amount of universal basic income, and earns nothing when they work hard.
r = 1 means pure capitalism. there is no social support programs, and what you earn depends entirely on your labour/wages.
in-between them, there’s a linear interpolation.
(i invented that “r-factor” as a thought experiment yesterday, and now i like it.)
i’m for r = 0.5 btw.
And Windows 13 will be a single stick.

It’s a squid-eat-squid world down there.
Sounds pretty capitalistic to me.
Do you have a minute to talk about socialism?
From the link:
A species of oceanic squid can fly more than 30 metres (100 feet) through the air at speeds faster than Usain Bolt if it wants to escape predators, Japanese researchers said Friday.
So, what’s chasing you?
I have always wondered how do you do it: How do you fly?
There’s nobody that I don’t like
Yesss.

I swear, it’s no longer possible to distinguish satire from reality.
The truth is that nobody ever really cared about anyone else
That is not true. I care about people. Please don’t make overly generalizations like that. It’s not fair.
Yeah, the question “when to ban something” is indeed a tricky one.
I propose that all good-faith arguments must be allowed, no matter whether they advocate for sovjet communism (so called tankies) or ultra-liberal capitalism or what.ever.
The only reason to ban something is if it’s personally insulting (e.g. non-sarcastic name-calling) or having the direct intention to hurt someone.
Yeah, jumping to extremes is indeed a problem for serious, honest discussions.
IMO there’s just too much money that “news” sources make by being polarizing. They know it increases their view-counts. And to them, that’s all that matters.
I think we need neutral, neutrally-financed news sources. Question is just, how do we organize that?
Hi there, I’d like to share my viewpoint.
(let me say up first that I’m not a conservative, not in the US, but still try to give good-faith understandings)
So I think a major pain point for conservatives in the US is that the traditional lifestyle (being a farmer, traditional family, …) are harder to uptain today than they were in the past.
Another issue is that conservatives don’t like that their children are being taught non-conservatives viewpoints in schools. Consider: how would you like it if your children are required to go to school by law, but then the schools don’t teach them “your” way of life, but a totally different one. It makes you angry.
Well, it lays on tables a lot, with the backside facing up.
My dad’s re-learning Python coding for work rn, and AI saves him a couple of times; Because he’d have no idea how to even start but AI points him in the right direction, mentioning the correct functions to use and all. He can then look up the details in the documentation.
