feels awfully close second one… especially now that i found out they’re deputizing bounty hunters to impersonate federal officers, with masks on… and paying them >$1,000 per brown person they kidnap…
i mean i knew it something extra odd was happening but a lot of these guys are contractors… and ofc white supremacists… - Comment on Can you clear a straight line of malfunctioning pixels on a phone with a lighter? 1 week ago:
no. that’s for stuck pixels… a line is a connection for a whole row of pixels, ie the problem isn’t the screen it’s the connection (or both).
but the problem probably isn’t in the visible part of the screen….
it’s also a bad idea for stuck pixels - Comment on VPN Registrations Increase by 1,000%, less than Hour After PornHub Blocked France From Accessing its Website. 1 week ago:
that’s a lack of imagination….
just because i can’t think of a great solution doesn’t mean there isn’t one.
off the top of my head, here’s a system without a centralized surveillance database:- porn site gives you a random token,
- you then hash that with a time-stamp,
- get the token signed by your government ID system (like a dmv),
- return the signed hash.
- the government only knows that you used age verification for something somewhere….
now the hard part is just explaining cryptographic signatures and hashes to people….
of course people could still give a kid a verified account, but at least it’s harder for them to access it, i don’t need perfection…. - Comment on VPN Registrations Increase by 1,000%, less than Hour After PornHub Blocked France From Accessing its Website. 1 week ago:

but… not a good excuse for creating a citizen surveillance database. - Comment on A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it. 3 weeks ago:
the dude started attacking her in a full on hate crime…
if anyone starts attacking me in a sandwich shop, i am going for maximum damage… i’m not going to just hope they’ll stop attacking me, i will do my best to make it not possible for them to attack (although leaving is the first choice… if i can’t, i’m hurting them).
she has zero remorse, but i don’t imagine it’s the first time she’s been attacked for being trans. - Comment on A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it. 3 weeks ago:
the article skips why, but it is actually extremely relevant…
Cruz’s attorney claimed his client, a transgender woman, lashed out against Hodges because the 36-year-old postal worker had made a slur “about her gender identity.”
….
Cruz claimed that Hodges had ridiculed her with homophobic remarks and struck her several times before she pulled a knife and fatally stabbed him.
She showed no remorse for her actions when interviewed by detectives at the 28th Precinct in Harlem.“I hope he’s maggot food,” Cruz told detectives, according to court documents. “I killed him laughing. Oh, well. I’ll piss on his grave.”.
Hodges had struck Cruz at least three times during the deli fight before she stabbed him, she claimed.“I told him, ‘You come to me and I’ll kill you,’” Cruz told investigators. “No motherf—ers are going to put their hands on me no more.
“He tried to mess with me because I’m trans, and I poked him up,” Cruz said.

i suppose knife makers should have someone following you around at all times to make sure you use the knife properly. - Comment on Lara Croft games are the nightmare of any real archaeologist, biologist and paleontologist. 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on SUNS OUT GUNS OUT 3 weeks ago:
honestly i don’t find Cantor’s diagonal argument that compelling either. I’ve been working on a counter argument.
In euclidean geometry, you can’t make a circle with the same area of a square… but i guess you can’t express that geometrically? I never really studied it much… but i am fond of geometric proofs.
At any rate, I’ve learned that Wittgenstein provided some great counter arguments to Gödel, so let’s just go with: i may be some heretic, but i’m with Wittgenstein on this.
I don’t expect a lot of open minds on a pro-gödel meme but, i find it annoying how many people act like it’s just soooo profound. I don’t think it is… and i think most of the people claiming Gödel have any understanding of it, and take some interpretation of an interpretation of it and bring it to woo-woo magic land….
(not you, of course, your way of arguing with me is quite refreshing and nice, i wish you were my friend).
At any rate, i wish you well. I guess, Gödel did have his place in that time, i just think people are making a mountain out of a molehill in the present time. - Comment on SUNS OUT GUNS OUT 3 weeks ago:
to be fair, i don’t think you speak for “all of us”, i also don’t think you’ve actually read it.
- Comment on Tantrum & sulk seem to be a loop. 3 weeks ago:
it bothers me because of my computer science background… flow charts should be pretty much executable, to me… other people can do whatever they want, i suppose.
but, you could have all of the loops with proper arrows and some decisions in there… - Comment on SUNS OUT GUNS OUT 3 weeks ago:

that’s not a big deal. Some things are unprovable… that’s pretty obvious.
also P≠NP, that’s just dumb.

- Comment on SUNS OUT GUNS OUT 3 weeks ago:
that seems fine for it’s purpose, but the modern interpretation is dumb. Even the way Godell went about proving it is dumb.
how about:
x = 2
2x = 3,000
omg! they’re inconsistent! big whoop….it just irks me because i saw all these smarty pants talking deep stuff and referencing how the incompleteness theorem changed everything, and it was basically just stoner philosophy, with a rigorous, needlessly convoluted proof.
when i finally read it, being sure it was over my head, it was like cracking a secret code that turned out to say “drink ovaltine” - Comment on SUNS OUT GUNS OUT 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on SUNS OUT GUNS OUT 3 weeks ago:
Gödel’s incompleteness theorem is the dumbest and least profound theorem ever made.
e.g.- the second sentence is false.
- the first sentence is true.
omg! reality is crumbling!

i’ve been censored as ableist for saying idiot, moron and stupid… idiot and moron were once medical terms too.
how am i supposed to properly say “very not intelligent”?
“derp” was kinda popular for a minute, but i think that was making fun of the types of sounds mentally handicapped people make.furthermore, scientifically, retarded means slowed down… flame retardant, retarded plant growth, etc… the problem isn’t the terminology, it’s how people use it. A bunch of kids picking on a disabled kid called him any name for being that way is evil. Someone acknowledging their own folly and using that term isn’t evil.
and before the n-word comes in, that’s completely different because that word was used as part of a system of slavery and oppression.
i guess it’s worthwhile to be sensitive of people’s feelings even when you don’t agree with all of it… like, im not going to show the bottom of my shoe to an arab person… but trying to be the politically correct word police isn’t usually either.
every negative word is offensive. for some people it’s full on triggering. i knew someone with bipolar who would occasionally, while manic, act like a total asshole… like deliberately… but then the word “asshole” became triggering for him, making him full on melt down… because people kept calling him an asshole when he acted like it.
but should nobody call an asshole an asshole because it hurts their feelings to be referred to as someone who hurts people’s feelings? (i’ll never call him that again).the whole thing is retarded and has missed the point of being nice to people… not erasing words that can be used meanly.
(p.s. i’m far far faaar leftist, but i don’t believe in coating the entire planet with nerf foam)
