Basically the site keeps everyone's player in sync. Then you just make a guest name at the bottom of the chat so we can all chat during the movie.

True, but the auth-left is really rabid for authority. Sometimes it's not even very left but it's some "trusted institution" and it's "unamerican" to question it. I say question all power structures. Because if you can't even question them you are in a bad place culturally.

When are people on both the right and left going to learn. There is no one in the middle east who's values actually align with yours. So stop supporting a side and lets get our selves completely out of not our business.

Though genocide is our business so that's the one time we should take a side.

But in everything else where we've taken a side it has been a mistake. Folk on all sides of the middle east project to the west an image they hope will garner sympathy in hopes we will fight wars for them and they can avoid fighting their own wars. "Genuineness" is a uniquely western thing to see as a positive value. Absolutely no culture in the middle east values presenting an honest image of themselves to us. The idea of that being socially positive or necessary for their own sense of ethics is literally foreign to them. I'm not trying to single out Muslim countries or Israel. What I'm saying is we in the west do in fact have values that are particular to us, and we need to stop imagining those values on others. That's why the whole of the middle east is like that. Because they aren't us.

Then the other thing we should understand is that all sides employ what are basically professional communicators who study our culture and use what they understand of it to manipulate us. So we get dragged into problems that aren't ours and expose ourselves to actual security threats as a result.

But under "new-ethics" they are beyond reproach.

They are non-discriminatory bombs being dropped on Gazan children. In fact this is the least discriminating bombing in history.

These only block old people.

Also how transparently published and reproduced was Pfizer's vaccine trials, considering a judge had to force the contents released, yet it was science right away. You can't have cake and eat too.

You have ignored the possibility that even though there are finite gay people, among those finite gays one of them might be infini-gay.

[–] x0x7 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think that could be possible. If sexuality were multi-dimensional and "gayness" was just a 1-D collapse of a higher dimensional space then you could pick a vector in the higher dimensional space to represent gayness, such that a few points at the extreme happen to have the same dot-product with that vector.

But then you would be defining gayness around the gymnastics of setting that up instead of something you are actually trying to estimate about people on that spectrum.

Right. And if you depend on them for your logic with cloudflare functions you will never be able to migrate to another CDN.

Never let a vender do anything for you beyond standardized features. That's why a "selling point" if we go with this guy we can do this... never makes sense. Because if option B can't do it also you wouldn't want to do "this", and you should probably implement it in a more old-school way.
