Ouija boards with statistical machinery :)

I 90% agree with you, except that there is nothing technically correct about the word cis.

Causality (2000) made the topic accessible (to students and lecturers) as a single book.

I tried separating the sentences but an editor reverted my change.

Well, my take is not equivalent to OP, in that I actually don't agree :) I am a human-centered empiricist. I think OP's logic flows the other way: skeptical of human-centeredness p…

That was my reply to you, not the original point. If it helps: I think the GP implied with the statement that we should subscribe to some non-empirical theories ("outside spacetime…

In that humans built LIGO to bring forth phenomena for them. There is no science without an observer. The universe might exist without us, but without an observer there is no-one t…

And neccessary.

Sounds like premature optimization with security implications. I'm hesitant to use that.

If anything, it's an issue with a magnet's naming. My understanding is that the North pole/direction got its name first.

Sunflowers and Indian mustard do bioaccumulate lead (especially with a chelating agent).

If he breaks the server, then a callback/webhook notification for the fix won't work either. If you want to use a callback for this I'd recommend still polling periodically anyway.…

If this happened to a smaller company they would be dead. Edit: where can I get good Mercurial hosting? F this.

Requiring to have seen it all is a big problem if you identify as a critic, in all senses of the words. It's easy to be pulled in by irrelevant novelty that is not meaningful to vi…

Critics are not qualified to tell me what I should watch towards developing my own character. The disconnect between what they push as best and what audiences like as good, illustr…

Why does language matter to you? Is it a tool to entrenching your identity and present the world as a battleground between your groups? Or does language serve you as an individual …

You clearly have an opinion. Are you saying I should not? I don't follow. Forcing a change in language towards social agreeableness while using a lens of "there is only power" will…

To understand that terms like mankind already refer to all humanity is a small part of it. Another part is that communication serves us in finding suitable mates and manipulation o…

Truthful description of relevant info is most important. The constructed profile of the person I'm talking to online is uninteresting to me. You might actually be a dog for all I k…

I don't see where you said "no, you don't" so it's unclear what you mean here. Did you mean that labelling something as misinformation is unwise? Because then I agree with you.

A family in conflict might not have a future if we "only talk about 'climate crisis'".

As someone living in the third world let me assure you those living in poverty have more pressing challenges for themselves and their children. They are fighting raw nature daily f…

Maybe they believe in the usefulness of the "repeating it three times makes it true" rhetorical device.

What do you do with opinions that you think are wrong? Do you place them all in an "obviously nonsense" category and slap a misinformation sticker on it so others are not tempted t…
