Hey no fair, I said inb4 Anyway, you're wrong and I think you know it because you said "government-mandated censorship." The first two words clarify the third. This wouldn't be nec…

Euphemism treadmill is driven by people who believe in a fairly strong version of the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis, that the thoughts we have are bounded by the words we have. They think…

The reason I mentioned my opinion is because it's an example of opinions which are suppressed. You have demonstrated this, by insisting that nobody could possibly have and express …

Who said anything about the government? In the article, Spielberg laments his own decision to censor the guns in ET. It was his decision to alter his own movie, not government-impo…

Ah right, I see what you mean. Supposing I tried to make youtube only show me videos of red trains, it would probably fail. It has a limited number of content bins and probably doe…

Each satellite is a cell.

I don't use many content recommendation systems, so maybe this isn't typical, but youtube's is very good at what it does. It knows I like videos about trains and ships, and suggest…

> Are you making a good faith comment? You have posed this as a question. My answer is yes. But perhaps you don't really mean it as a question, and instead mean it to solicit other…

> Cancer patients are much less rare than vegans after all. Maybe in the general population, but not in my social circles (which skew young and urban.)

Have you ever noticed that native cultures are commonly praised for not wasting any part of the animal, yet the modern meat industry is vilified for not wasting any part of the ani…

Then it should be safe for me to say that I've noticed transmen are less assertive and aggressive than transwomen, and that this tracks with all the research, including crime stati…

Food instability will lead to mass starvation, which in turn will lead to wars. Wars will trash this planet more surely than modern mechanized farming.

Anecdotally, vegetarian seem to eat a lot of eggs, fish, etc. Yes I know fish is technically not vegetarian, but.. they call themselves vegetarian and certainly avoid other meats.

> Every Vegan I know either looks like an underwear model or an athlete That sounds like the vegetarians I know. The vegans I know look like cancer patients.

> permaculture setups that integrates animals and a food forest into their operation. This is a premise from a bygone era. Replace modern farming with integrated permaculture and b…

Exactly, when it comes to essential matters like food, stability is much more important than efficiency. I don't want the food supply chain optimized for efficiency, nobody should.…

A lot of soap is made out of animal fat. Less these days than before, and I doubt any dishwasher soap is, but I suppose you could.

Experienced users (developer or otherwise) of unixy systems already know what lsof is. Inexperienced developers only need to learn it once, then they join the ranks of the aforemen…

They don't find themselves in the situation of sitting before a terminal emulator needing to kill a process by port in the first place?

Forget stew? I understand the motivations for being anti-meat, even if I don't agree with them, but anti-stew? Stew is great, even vegetables stews. How can you be anti-stew?

I doubt it.

Look up "antimicrobial resistance" (AMR) and see where the deaths attributed to this are occurring. South Asia (e.g. India, etc) and Africa. Regions with inadequate healthcare for …

I'd love a userscript that autohides/downvotes every "I asked ChatGPT and it said..." post. I'm getting tired of doing it manually.

If it were easy, everybody would be doing it.

Well, physics (including classical mechanics) already uses irrational reals, which are pretty spooky themselves. Imaginary numbers don't seem so much worse.
