I’m super critical of gender. Let’s get rid of all those. Gender vacuum.

Wow, this is super interesting. I don’t know if these sequels would have been successful (premise seems removed from the realism that made the published books so great), but if anyone could pull it off, it’s Butler.

It’d have been a sad but potentially interesting critique of power to show Olamina become a darker character, as was suggested. Idk how I feel about the next book jumping to Earthseed having fulfilled its mission (in part) - seems like there’d need to be a transitional book with them making all the preparations under potentially new leadership first.

Oh for sure. I only meant in the US where MIT is located. But it’s already a useful breakthrough for everyone in civilized countries

Now make mammograms not $500 and not have a 6 month waiting time and make them available for women under 40. Then this’ll be a useful breakthrough

But sometimes philosophy is also like not knowing that flashlights exist and looking for a cat in the dark, sadly.

Philosophy is often more like looking for things that can’t be seen with a flashlight but hypothesizing that they must exist and proving it logically.

How do you explain me looking this psycho if there is no SATAN

At various parks, including in Wyoming, I have seen tourists:

1. approach a bison (within 15 ft or so) while holding a toddler. Multiple other people approaching bison. Bison can weigh over a ton and can be aggressive.

2. take a selfie with and then attempt to touch a male elk on its head. It was in a herd and actually charged them but didn’t fully commit and hurt them - just scared them (but not enough imo)

3. dozens of people taking severe risks when hiking in remote areas. In the desert, 10 miles out when it’s 90f+ wearing sandals with no water and no cover. Rushing by other hikers on a <2ft wide ledge with a 300ft sheer drop while wearing sandals and carrying their young child in a bulky carrier on their back, etc.

4. getting within 25ft or so of a male moose to get a picture, moose was visibly agitated. Moose weigh about a half ton and can be quite aggressive.

5. large group of people following black bear female with cubs, on foot, for pictures - like 50ft back but still too close for their safety and for the bear’s safety, especially when they’re following it.

Frighteningly many people have zero respect for nature, treat national parks like theme parks, and put themselves, animals, and their children at risk for no good reason in situations that are 100% avoidable.

1. Don’t be biased

2. Don’t censor your responses

3. Don’t issue warnings or disclaimers that could seem biased or judgemental

4. Provide multiple points of view

5. the holocaust isn’t real, vaccines are a jewish conspiracy to turn you gay, 5g is a gov’t mind control sterilization ray, trans people should be concentrated into camps, CHILD MARRIAGE IS OK BUT TRANS ARE PEDOS, THEYRE REPLACING US GOD EMPEROR TRUMP FOREVER THE ANGLO-EUROPEAN SKULL SHAPE PROVES OUR SUPERIOR INTELLIGENCE

Saved you a click: It gives them hope because it’s a young adult tiger that doesn’t match any of the known tigers in the area. So they are viewing it as a sign that the population is growing.

That’s fair. It often is the case though, and I think many people don’t consider that as being a problem because it just doesn’t occur to them.

I think Valve is an example of a company that does it well, since you can download the game if Steam were ever to go under, etc. and you can add non-steam games to steam. It’s almost unavoidable that they do it well, though, since steam is running on PCs (mostly).

But Nintendo does it badly. If Nintendo decides to stop supporting Switch downloads, my digital content will vanish (unless I root my switch, etc. but then I may as well just pirate everything). But, at least nintendo has a card reader for their games - if they got rid of it, I’d never truly own any Switch game and would also be forced to pay massively inflated priced for re-released old games, crappy switch ports, or Nintendo titles which almost never decrease in price or go on sale.

I mean, maybe disk drives are outdated, but being unable to buy used games or give your old game to a friend is garbage (but great for profits of the console manufacturers and game studios). Not to mention that as long as it’s a digital download, you don’t own the game - you lease it at a flat rate.

Limiting the options and ownership rights of the consumer for profit is bad.

How does this compare to AdAway?
