sure, im not saying blindly trust people in all situations. but distrust should be exceptional, not normal.

and your heart could fail at any moment randomly. doesnt make it rational to design your whole life around it. Yes people can betray your trust, but again and again and again it’s been shown that people dont betray eachother far far more often than they do. Also, if you’re big on Logic™️, lying only works if the vast majority of communication is truthful.

the sort of logic that’s fundamentally irrational.

what’s this?

they’ll find a use case any day now for realsies.

Preparing for and discussing impending genocide is not mutually exclusive to respecting neopronouns, this motte-bailey doesnt make sense and you are being extremely hateful in all of these comments. you will likely say you dont care, but it matters. im not sure this expression of panic and fear is helping anyone, though the degree of fear is completely understandable and warranted.

my friend, think this through. if they can move stuff off tables, if cameras can record them, if humans can see them, if they create chills… these are all measurable, tangible, things. if your explanation of ghosts requires that they be immaterial and incapable of affecting reality in any way, then that’s trivial and inane. We have ways to measure all of these things. these are all examples of measurements, in fact! positing we dont know the fundamental force that ghosts interact with so we cant measure it doesnt make sense. Literally, it is not cogent.

our sensory capabilities are probably better than you think, and, among other things, that doesnt make any sense anyway. if they can tangibly interact with the world in any way, such as a human noticing them, knocking stuff off tables, showing up on videos… there is really no scenario where this logic works, and while toxicity isnt nice, the argument presented is wrong in humorous ways.

based on the screenshot, it does not seem to include a buffer, and is unlikely to imo because that requires taking a stance on the size of that buffer.

if you eat the recommended amount of protein (and a little extra as a buffer) then you would not notice any particularly striking change, but statistically your quality of life will improve for myriad subtle reasons. Hormone production will be more stable, you will be less likely to get diseases associated with protein deficiency, you will build muscle slightly more easily, your brain will technically function slightly better in subtle metabolic ways, as with all your other organs. etc. You will likely, not notice any of it. But across your life it will statistically make a difference in your health outcomes. this is true of all phytonutrients, not just protein.

Yes, i point out whackamole in my comment. It’s a completely useless critique of tor/briar because there is no alternative which cannot also be critiqued like this, and there can never be.

you might as well say “well the problem with keyboards is that someone needs to ship it to you.”

oh sure, but you can get around these blocks and this sort of block is ultimately always a possibility short of building your own network infrastructure. and as blocks like that become more common it becomes more common to circumvent them too.

“significantly harder than youve been lead to believe”, no, you just werent clear in your description of the problem. if your problem with tor is “governments can play whack-a-mole blocking ips and traffic” there is no technology which doesnt have that as a downside.

“the tor protocol can be locked” ?

tor is decentralized, if someone’s tor server goes down you just go to another.

music has things that can be described mathematically in ways that are largely historical, but not axiomatic in a math sense. but if learning music helps you learn math and/or visa versa, power to you.

it might be a difference of language but it’s important to recognize that courts are part of your system of governance regardless of the words you use to describe it, and are subject to most of the same incentives and corrupting influences, and some thatare unique to courts.

courts are part of the government…

it is certainly spurred by the developing situation in the us and has examples from it, but otherwise nothing applie only to the us. and the us finalizing it going to shit effects you anywhere in the world.

? eff has international reach and the article applies everywhere. it was clearly intentionally written to apply anywhere. your comment makes no sense.

do you think the us is the only state that works with corps to surveil?
