Yes, obviously the statement can be made about fraud, because you already made it. I was pointing out that the effects of violence are not as simple as hurting one person as you said. Then you replied by repeating yourself. I am so tired of

Violence ripples out. It’s never just one person. Living in a violent society has huge costs on all of us.

It was not tricky. The arguments against are fundamentally dishonest and so is your representation otherwise.

Kavanaugh agrees with their reading of the 14th Amendment, though.

Look into dehumanizing language used by political leadership over history and where it tends to lead. Especially when paired with extremist, evil policies like remigration.

Remigration is more than a strict immigration policy. And calling legal immigrants parasites is going too far.

Definitely a famous story that gets retold and almost mythologized in China. When I taught over there, several different middle school students independently told me about this story.

Mullvad worked okay in China in June for me. I imagine it will be better in Indonesia with their less sophisticated blocking.

He has signed it. Look at the update on the top of the article: >Update: This article was published on June 5. Since then, Gov. Greg Abbott has signed Senate Bill 2972 into law. It will take effect Sept. 1. https://legiscan.co

Sorry. Online discourse has poisoned my brain.

Yes, absolutely criminal and true. The US is quickly going down a dark path. That doesn't make what I said about China any less true.

The person you're replying to is ridiculous and ignorant. But also many of the creators you're talking about are paid by the Chinese government. If they're living in China on an ongoing basis creating content it's almost

Hard to believe that this is your good-faith take on the substance of the letter.

I consume very little "traditional media." I haven't forgiven most traditional media for the coverage leading up to the Iraq War and adjusted my reading accordingly going on 20 years now. Cable news was always horrible and I

Nah. Not misinformation. Just other people aren't willing to give him the massive benefit of the doubt that you are. There's no point arguing with you about it, of course. But in context, watching the full video, seeing his opinio

I guess I'll save a click for other readers. The post linked is completely unrelated to the subject of this thread. This person isn't interested in real conversation.

Your post added nothing to the conversation except insults though. I would have been interested in hearing an alternative perspective on why GP's post was reductive because as far as I know it's accurate.

FYI, I assume anyone using the words "stay mad" is actually the mad one. Just a note on your rhetoric, I have no opinion on El Salvador's bitcoins.

You'll lose a lot of the PyMC convenience functions with Numpyro but gain a lot of control and flexibility over your model specification. If you're doing variational inference, Numpyro is the way to go. You can use the Numpyro NUT

I'm glad this exists. But their example with a blog post draft is something I will never do. ChatGPT writing makes me cringe at this point—I might as well write the entire thing because of the number of edits. Natural-sounding writing

I don't know who this guy is, but listening to him speak in your link, he does not seem like a good source of information to me.

No, it wasn't.

It's not really "Newspeak" at all; if anything, it's the opposite. Newspeak had limited vocabulary. The interviewer is using a bunch of ten-dollar words. Still, interesting interview! I might read some Padgett Powell at

Yeah. It probably depends on the brand, but I was just looking to buy my first car in quite a while and had to update my thoughts on this. Previously I'd be all for buying used. But I was looking at the prices for 2 to 5-year old Toyot

This is nice! Going to try it out for a while. Could potentially expand to TV shows on YouTube, there are tons of free ones for my target language (Chinese). Also, this might be challenging, but would be nice to see Chinese divided into Can

How am I supposed to answer that? Either your insurance agent was wrong, or mine shouldn't have sold it to me. All I can contribute is my experience.

Okay. Sorry they're jerking you around. But your experience is clearly not universal.
