Correct, doctors do triage according to need and available resources. When you imply that there is some category of care that doesn't deserve treatment (or is too "costly" to provi…

> I don’t think being addicted to laziness and having a glutinous appetite is exactly comparable to say, being addicted to heroin. Your opinion is that of a petulant child. Many ye…

There should certainly be measurements taken, costs considered, alternatives approached when building our healthcare system. No one has ever implied otherwise, ever. To imply that …

Do you think addicts should receive treatment? Do you think that people who make bad decisions deserve to live? Do you extract the exact amount of value from society relative to th…

I wrote a few paragraphs of response to this assuming that you are implying that there is a level of death/disease that is acceptable because treating it would not be cost-effectiv…

roll your own runtime does not imply to me `import runtime from "runtime";` but this seems to just be "include deno and use deno"?

hint: they aren't being honest

You just linked an insane conspiracy theory website.

this is nonsense. WebAssembly is strongly typed. either you don't understand type systems, or you don't understand WebAssembly. in either case, I can encourage reading the article,…

why would it be only 1 external display? Can you not plug into a thunderbolt dock and use multiple external displays? I do exactly that with my 2012 MacBook Pro.

I don't have any resources to link, sorry. The weird-power-dynamic-Lincoln statue with the freed black man aside, I generally agree on statutes of the founding fathers. I doubt a s…

It's important to remember that the majority of these statues were not created after the civil war in order to remember them, but during the Jim Crow era in order to intimidate bla…

I love the fact that this thread is empty while the one about deplatforming white supremacists is chock-full of people screaming about free speech. Really makes the whole thing a b…

Exactly! If you find yourself defending these words, in any context, you might be the problem! It is -not- normal to say any of this, 1000 hours or not.

1. Not extreme. 2. No, do your own research.

I agree that we will have to address the privatization of speech at some point. Ultimately I'm not sure where my opinions lie on that spectrum. However, I find it challenging to ha…

Are you seriously comparing the struggle of Jews in Nazi Germany to white supremacists being deplatformed in America? If you are, you should really take a step back and evaluate th…

This kind of half-measure response is exactly why white supremacy continues to thrive in America. You cannot argue with a white supremacist on reasonable ground, their world view i…

While those who defend them may disagree, defending white supremacy is in itself white supremacy. They defend it because they believe it. The thing that still continues to shock me…

> Any reasonable person would have agreed that silence isn't an expression of complicity with white supremacy I'll repeat. Silence -is- complicity. Now, the thread is over.

Do you think it is correct or incorrect to deplatform white supremacists? Do you think white supremacists deserve a platform? Edit: I've asked variants of this question several tim…

We are talking about two different things. I claimed that purging white supremacists from platforms is a good thing. I also claimed that silence is complicity. These are orthogonal…

That's not what I said. Do not put words into my digital mouth. I said, silence -is- complicity with white supremacy. If you, after all of the injustices demonstrated in enormous d…
