  • Do you know any good Usenet guide out there? The ones I found were confusing, I don't even know how to start really

  • You sure about that? Generally, people worth boatloads still cry about losing worth and refraining from encouraging IP's directly benefitting her could distract her or even send a message to her potential allies. It would maybe not change her ways, but it could change the platforms available to send her harmful ideas into the world.

    Then for escapism, piracy is still available. 🏴‍☠️ There's also no shortage of things to do that don't concern her.

  • I think it could be productive to not think of him as dumb, but as being taken advantage of by people with their own interests in mind. We are all humans and it's easy to see the other as different, but I think we are way more similar than we are distinct and as a relative, coming at it with empathy and maybe humor could bring the heat of the conversation down a couple of notches. Anyway it kinda worked for me I think, so take it with a grain of salt.

  • Were the US Republicans deluded and out of touch too? In fact, who was not deluded or out of touch?

  • Well that's exactly what I did, so obviously it didn't work for you, but substitutes absolutely did it for me. Don't know why you're so incredulous.

    I'm able to make a false analogy too : It's kinda like training wheels on a bike. It makes the experience of biking easier for the one learning and eventually you can remove them.

  • Yeah, but what if they're not loaded with methylcellulose, or what if we do eventually come close to the real meats or what if this is a gateway product that could convert carnists?

  • We thank you for your service

  • If everyone gets to be immortal, imagine never being able to get rid of dictators. Putin's 600th won election.

    People in the future wouldn't be allowed to have children, Earth will be filled to the brim with very old people and very few new ideas.

  • I get that, but am I wrong?

  • Exactly, like if someone doesn't want kids I wouldn't want to be their child, let them not have them

  • Where I live you pretty much cannot adopt if you're past 40, except when someone put their kid in their last will for you.

  • Exactly, it's the fourth forbidden one, it helps with debunking theist views for instance

  • Such a genuinely good reductio, I'm stealing this!

  • I suppose in most clinical trials you would want to be in the placebo group, no?

  • I like AI. But I'm not sure I like the way we use it if it's only to meet shareholders' expectations or to be a tool for greedy people. What is your opinion concerning the way we seem to use AI in academic research?

  • You guys have cigarette stores?

  • I'm not the one you talked to but isn't it better to receive assistance in dying so that the experience is less traumatic for friends or relatives of the dead? For example, they don't have to see their loved one inject themselves or whatnot.

    Plus, it comes with the benefit of not having to transport the body if it was a suicide at home, not having to stress about the lethal cocktail and if it contained the right amounts of drugs or whatever.

    It doesn't say much, but I would prefer it a whole lot that a person that I am close to chooses the assisted suicide. And I would much rather be strapped to someone when skydiving.

  • Do they have a transparent budget on how the donations are used? Anyone can claim the donations weren't enough to survive.
