  • This reminds me that I don't understand normal people

  • People just like to rationalize their disgust. It's probably also why homosexuality is supposedly immoral.

  • I wouldn't have a problem with someone using males/females in a vacuum, but all too often I read men/females from incels and misogynists on the Internet, so now "females" feels derogatory by default.

  • My retort to the tolerance paradox is to say "L, deal with it" to bigots who bring it up as a gotcha.

  • tbf, that heuristic works ~80% of the time, which is way higher than I'd like, but that's the effect of polarization

  • Equally common, unfortunately, is people who don't state their point, they just lay out the pieces and expect you to put it together, but then if you say something bad about it suddenly that's "not what I said". Schrodinger's point.

    I've developed a response to comments that do this saying-it-but-not-saying-it thing, and while I try to judge sincerity, there are false positives. An okay approach I've found is just to ask people to clarify: if they say something reasonable they're genuine, and if they dodge the question they're a troll or someone who doesn't want to admit they believe something bad.

    But make sure you're running in 64-bit mode for the full range

  • I still need to figure out a way to do it that doesn't sometimes leave me feeling horrible.

  • No, it was a Magnusson device, now it's a dead strider.

  • I played for like 30min to get these screenshots, you'd better appreciate them.

  • Hold device

    Throw device

    Boom

  • For anyone who needs to hear this: RAID is not a backup. RAID is not a backup.

  • The violence already doesn't end. Why should I sit and take it? Obviously we need political stuff too, but violence is a useful tool to those ends.

  • We've mostly not been and yet that is exactly what's happening now. I'd at least like to try something else.

  • Do you really think all progress has to look huge? You've got to be trolling at this point, or you're so loaded with emotions you're just fighting people now.

  • This is basically the tolerance paradox but for violence. If people are willing to use violence on me (denying healthcare, keeping us poor, stochastic terrorism) then I'm fine using it back, otherwise they get free reign.

  • That's why I build in safety margins to how I drive.

  • Don't get your fingerprints on things?
