People can feel whatever they want, yes. If those feelings lead to hurting another group out of revenge, it’s not feminism. Human rights are not a limited resource.

If you believe in undertaking revenge against men because misogyny exists, I don’t want to engage in that conversation. It’s not going to be productive for either of us.

I get the impression you don’t read things before responding to them.

I had to look up the part about open-carry guns to see if it was legit. My Canadian sensibilities would be all in a tizzy down there.

If dead internet theory was the goal.

I hope she gets a dick out of it.

I agree that part of it is heuristics, as someone else mentioned here.

Another part is cultural. I was once invited to speak at a panel where we were supposed to be discussing news in our sector. Instead of getting the information ahead of time, the MC just gave us headlines from articles and told us to discuss. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is common in talk shows and panels, reinforcing the idea that people don’t need to read content to get the gist.

I agree. I’m just sharing an article I found when I saw your post and decided to look into it, because I thought it was interesting.

I found this. https://time.com/4068036/imdb-history-25th-anniversary/

Usenet, too, probably. It got going around 1980. But yeah, not technically web sites.

Seems too niche to be worth the time and money. However, advertising music only available for bitcoin on the dark web could work as a marketing tactic if the music appeals to that niche audience.

Thing is, I’m on the dark web, I use cryptocurrency and I like underground music, and this doesn’t appeal to me. In my mind, I’m wondering why they didn’t just build and host their own website instead, and sell their album for crypto. I would question why they only accept bitcoin if they’re trying to be subversive. I go to the dark web for drugs, not music, and would be paying in Monero.

Alternatively, some artists have already NFT’d their music so people can purchase it for crypto. And, long before that, radiohead released In Rainbows independently through their website, which only took donations. So there are ways to skip the middlemen without the gimmick.

Could it work? Yeah, it could. I don’t think it would work very well.

Mr Henderson is a coward and would never make it on Henry Hudson’s crew. His wife deserves better.

Please don’t assume that me saying it’s difficult for me to understand is the same as calling it incomprehensible or metaphysical. I’m interested in the science, have read quite a bit, but haven’t taken any higher level education on the subject.

I know what quantum entanglement is, I’m just self aware enough to say I don’t really understand it.

Man, I wish.

I wonder what CSIS is doing right now.

I wonder if we can finally get a Canadian spy thriller out of this.

I notice that whole “shit’s crazy” attitude in a lot of people who have a doctorate or more in a scientific field. Science is first taught as an absolute and much later it’s more like “This is what we know for now, but context might change the story.”

I’ve tried to understand quantum entanglement and it still breaks my brain to think about.

We need people with seemingly implausible theories to hone our scientific knowledge. Every so often someone comes up with an idea that goes against common sense and it turns out to be true, or at least leads to a better understanding of the world. But yeah, that’s like one in a thousand.

I think this article did a decent job presenting the idea while remaining critical, since it is a scientific journal.

It concludes with:

For now, I am unpersuaded that terminal lucidity is the evidence that overturns materialism. It is, rather, a reminder of how mysterious the brain is, and of how cautious we should be when looking for metaphysical answers in scientific data.

Thanks for the context.

Unfortunately I don’t know enough about the issue to comment on China’s policy, and I know that any information I find (including the article I posted) is going to have gaping plot holes.

Yes.

Neat article, but I don’t understand the connection.

We’re not taking about simple incompetence anymore. It’s another kind of ignorance entirely to receive a mild correction for fucking up — in this case having a few comments removed, misrepresent the situation to strangers for validation, and choose to be ignorant despite all attempts to explain the fuck up.
