Even a cursory glance at the legal code should convince you that "free speech" is a convenient fantasy mostly used to hoodwink liberals into supporting the KKK. Why not call it a "speech" issue?

Well, sure. But it sure as hell aint't diplomacy and peace that built this society we live in now. Or at least, not a good sort of peace. That's especially true for the US and Canada. What went on before europeans made an appearan

Really? I am not a lawyer, but from what I recall this would fall squarely under defamatory speech.

I'm quite the introvert. I just am flummoxed why you would build around something so much less substantial than equitable distribution of resources, which necessarily implies our bothering each other to enforce. If you want to be left

odd choice to be forced to make, but I would prefer being electrocuted to burning my face off.

Isn't this a wittgensteinian problem? ie how you interpret language is inherently subjective. But regardless of what language you use, or how you intend to bind the terms to reality semantically, apriori truth is still apriori truth. I

Back? This country was built on taking and retaining land with violence. We just call it "property" now and act like everyone thinks this is fine. we now refer to human sacrifices as "essential workers" and "terrori

Well we have plenty of records of people who did pay attention. (American?) Society as a whole isn't very good at focusing on what will care about in the future. Anyway, it's not easy to turn oral history into speculation about

I mean you could, but we're inherently dependent on each other. I'm not sure I see the value of building a society around personal liberty. It wouldn't make much of a society, would it?

> Anyone who thinks Google or Chrome is evil has no idea the scope or scale of what/where evil is. There are degrees of evil. I mean sure they're not murdering babies, but they're definitely also not pro-humanity.

I had the same reaction. I think I'm just used to seeing headlines oversell their point.

The Years of Rice and Salt is amazing, very vivid characters, and (SPOILER) it's amazing how he ties in multiple lifetimes. Shaman is another one I'd recommend.

> Also, it’s quite boring that these people say the same thing for decades now. It’s quite simple nowadays to predict how these “unlike me” people will “think” on every single topic on social media. Usually, it’s not even their thoughts.

Everything I've heard from word of mouth has been absolutely negative. Of course this has to be taken with a large rock of salt—who knows how reliable or representative this is—but five very negative reviews feels like it's on the

I would argue the interesting part is that these shapes are nearly impossible to find outside of human society. Sure you can find quasi-crystals and straight lines occasionally, but either this is reused functionality (abstract thought?!) o

I've been on the internet for twenty-some-odd years and at some point this attitude has come to feel like willful ignorance (generally; i do agree that it is unsurprising that crows recognize patterns. Or much less obviously intelligen

I suppose if what you don't like about twitter is the people there (or the moderation), bluesky would make a lot of sense. I can't help but feel like the combination of catering towards businesses (verification) and people who don

I'm trying to remember a single moment in the last twenty years of desiring identity verification and I just can't think of anything. Maybe people trying to protect their "brand"? Is there really that much demand for bra

I would probably call this "charge discrimination", which gives a clear indication which side of the party is empowered with this concept. Still, wildly volatile pricing is also an excellent reason to avoid taxi apps. Why politici

Well that's certainly AN economic theory, but it feels a little polyannish/unreasonably hopeful. Like most of american macroeconomic discourse.

I don't think we're referring to the same concept. Dynamic pricing implies charging two different concurrent customers different prices for the same good or service. The only place you can see this now are basically reward/pr

Not mentioning Kim Stanley Robinson's The Mars Trilogy is insane. Almost "didn't bother to google the topic" insane. Screw the article; it's a worthless wrapper around a single quote by one of the authors of the a
