Are mods actually dumb enough to assume someone would be dumb enough to include their own username in the vote brigading account though

I've felt pleasurable sensations from meditation before that are comparable to sex, you could try that

What about the other part of their argument though? Do you really think censorship powers can be withheld from those who are eager to abuse them? If the incoming government in the US was constitutionally able to be sanctioning vigilante violence against racist speech, I'm pretty sure one of the first things they would do with that is to classify people protesting the Palestinian genocide as being valid targets, under the logic that criticizing Israel is racist, for example.

Even if it was true that censorship is a more effective way to control toxic rhetoric than honest discourse, it would still be the case that it is an incredibly dangerous weapon. If we can't ensure that untrustworthy malevolent people never get the power to use it, there's no way it does more good than harm.

It is really frustrating to me that data which is supposedly public cannot be simply downloaded all together as a large dataset, instead you have to go through a convoluted process to access only a narrow subset of it

But other people fill their roles, with the main difference being just genetics, so probably on average very similar behavior. And most people don't do anything too exceptional or history changing. So would "ending a bloodline" really be more impactful than say causing a traffic jam, if all it's really doing is applying a passive RNG shuffle to everything?

So we ended up hiring most of the original Steam team from that other company to build initially this sort of in-game advertising streaming model but then [Steam]

Wow it could have been so much worse

Why would "free US trade and tariff data" have any legitimate need for that?

Do we know how big the file is?

Why does a flight simulator of all things need to be a live service game?

Well if I was doing it I probably would be trying to focus on browser emulation to avoid having to dig into those sorts of details. It sounds like OP is a beginner and needs a simple method.

IIRC it should be able to be made to work since it does everything a browser does, found this search result, though it has been a while since I used it myself at all. Another thing you might try that has worked for me is iMacros, that's a little simpler and more basic than Selenium but should work for what you say you want to do.

The reason to use Selenium is if the website you want to scrape uses javascript in a way that inhibits getting content without a full browser environment. BeautifulSoup is just a parser, it can't solve that problem.

The idea of being a loser or winner in life, and that there is an objective consensus that could accurately rank your value as a person, is fake. People as a whole don't take the time to come to agreement on what matters, they don't understand each other, and you don't have a ranking, even theoretically. It's only in your imagination, so make an effort to cut some slack and imagine yourself in a kinder way.

Personally I wish there was a way to filter out all the comments by people who haven't read the article.

I had one in most of the apartments I lived in, but I was always having problems with them and needing to contact the landlord to fix it (some of this was my fault but still). Now that I have my own place I'm not going to install one, I don't want to spend money if the result is mostly to get to maintain yet another thing, just to avoid shaking a drain trap over the trash every once in a while.

When I was a kid my father would always mute the ads, which was annoying to me because the images still demanded my attention and it was frustrating not knowing what they said. Now I don't watch TV and know how to use adblockers so it's a mute point.

But is chicken-ness actually defined by genetics? An important characteristic of a chicken is its domesticated status, if you consider the birds they descend from, they are remarkably similar, and it's hard to imagine that any one mutation would have been what caused people to start calling them by their own name or considering them as a separate species. It's possible that the first chicken became the first chicken when it was captured by humans, and so preceded the first chicken egg.

Arguments (especially political/ideological ones) framed as personal advice

Woah, this one is a little different

I'm glad to see it at least, though maybe it would also make sense to be posted on !reddit@lemmy.world
