For that visual part, I think that that is the case for most people, including those without aphantasia. From what I have gathered from personal experience and by talking to other …

Basically. See US vs Alcoa [0] [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Alcoa

I believe that the usual response to this is that the devices include some kind of unmodifiable time and location stamping, although that argument spirals out of control pretty qui…

Maybe they are. I know of one site that had a premade array of "X bought Y" in the source HTML, which I imagine they repopulate after some amount of time.

Check out Brandolini's Law for a slightly less short examination of this idea, but the tl;dr argument against this is that any effective refutation of a "bad idea" is necessarily m…

By thinking about how it might happen if it were tech companies, I have a possible answer. From that perspective, I am assuming that the top (in hierarchy, not importance) groups f…

I would be willing to choose the latter option for FB money. If it were that lucrative, I'd already be there with my new startup.

>Worse, showing how obstacles are overcome and not seeing it applied in real world is soul crushing. I think that this is an important consideration. If I am not mistaken, this is …

Calling "they" an ugly or cumbersome construct seems like a reach. I am a native english speaker, and the use of that word to describe people with unknown characteristics (such as …

Would you say that your argument is essentially "This person is wrong in such a way that would not be possible without irrationally hating the president"? If that were the case, I …

I do not understand what "the democratic party, their propaganda outlets, and their commisars" have to do with whether or not the president has thought long and hard about his mora…

I do not want this to sound ironic, but the explanation that seems most intuitive to me is that the parent has been informed of some number of the president's actions (likely throu…

It seems to me that it is your view of reality that might be distorted if you can and have inferred that the parent has an irrational hatred of the current president of the United …

I imagine that most people abstract at the levels above and below assembly languages. E.g. they know about high level languages, and that a CPU cannot directly run that, but their …

They have probably been to a school at some point though. This guy is on another level.

That can make it even better, particularly if you can remember why you were making the decisions that you did.

I think that the educational content on YouTube can definitely outweigh any and all of its issues, as long as we are seeing YouTube for what it is. I am incapable of describing the…

The parent was not being rational, and noted that they were doing the same thing as other people. They later changed their behavior due to exposure to outside information. It seems…

It would be easy to read your question as "wife, deportation, debt, or all together" == nothing, and in doing so dismiss it. It is easy to see it as "you aren't even willing to sac…

Pervasive tracking and unwarranted surveillance via ads are a significant component of the problems that online ads have, but that does not make them worse than the ones you see el…

I have seen it. I do not believe that this test (or others, yet) compared known placebo treatments to unknown placebo treatments.

My intuition would be that a significant component of the effect is that the patient believes they have been treated. Until we see evidence otherwise, I see no reason to assume tha…

>Individual people's income taxes cannot be treated this way, because the closest analogy to "business expenses" for a person's lifestyle is their cost of living. If cost of living…

That is an excellent summary. It was like an answer that failed to produce any questions from me and I feel like I understand it now.
