It's your responsibility to actually state your position if you disagree with the position others assume you have.

Pretty much nails the whole discussion.

Politesse, I have a great deal of respect for you, but you really do need to understand the reality that sometimes there aren't good alternatives, and decisions beget decisions beget decisions. It's not about not questioning why those were the options. Question all you like, but they are the...

My understanding was that he preferred stimulants.

But you're my hero *clings to leg like a love interest in an outdated movie poster*

Or turn the trope on its head, make a secret pact to send the hero to something that WILL gank him, and then take over the plot. Like "Op, guess we accidentally the 'hero', let's be gay and do crimes hero shit."

Naw, you're like my favorite poster here. Feel free to make me your "magical whitey" though.

I find the anthropological history of people in migration South through the Americas from the Bearing Strait to be quite interesting, myself: The Large Beaked Bird, Quetzalcoatl, etc. leading the people south to a sign of a promised land is quite prevalent across a number of cultures AFAIK. I...

Hence why they shot it down on standing rather than merits.

Well, it makes sense... Waves will tend to radiate in circles/arcs around disruptions that are not aligned with the ripples caused by the wind, whose tangent is perpendicular to the direction of the center, and the larger waves from the wind will still carry the smaller waves from the land...

I mean, it makes some sense why they are doing this: if legal personhood begins at conception, then fetuses are tax write-offs. They realize there's an insane legal outcome attached to frozen embryos in the presence of the laws they're using to enslave women, and this is the only way to get...

What we need is a torrent of clips of trump talking about how he has the very best dementia...

No, algorithms CAN be "functions", but all functions are all algorithms. You have made more confident and wrong declarations than this, assuming you are right about all sorts of things that you don't even understand well enough to begin discussing. You just hide your religion in terms you find...

The irony is so palpable I can fucking taste it. It's not a straw man, DBT, how can you not understand the implications of a lack of free will, and the eminence of predestination and thus superdeterminism that it never could be otherwise that the big bang would be what the Christians call...

Fair enough. My point was more about things where people act as if they didn't know. It's like a lot of arguments: the first time the argument comes up and gets refuted... Sure, whatever. But the thirtieth time?

Pretty much. Anything that is continuous, but for which continuous through process scales with available energy -- either through small lines that open or close in cyclic patterns to enforce a duty cycle, or through a throttling of feedstock flow -- and you have a pretty cheaply over built...

And like, it's still full on Calvinism, just with all the words changed to hide the theology aspect of it.

"Tell me you believe in God without telling me you believe in God"

Not past precedent

Just... Wow. Like holy shit wow. I've never seen such a Trainwreck of not-even-wrong before.
