🤦♂️ Don’t put words in my mouth to try to make an argument
- Comment on Guitar technology 4 days ago:
Its a video so tough to quickly scan, but to keep the block in that plane, I think that needs the forces to be to magnets pulling each other at the back and that seems like it would make the tuning hard since tightening / loosening each string moves and rotates the block holding the strings. Did they say much about that?

I think this is the wrong language to look for an answer. Japanese has a lot more mimetic words. I’m guessing anime has this pretty well established but I don’t read it

Yeah, by memory Rupert Murdoch had his hand at that and in Aus and the UK. I’d love to see that reined in again too

Humans have been killing each other as long as we’ve existed isn’t an argument to avoid trying to make it happen less

Yeah, I figured. She’s just a bit questionable for my tastes

For others here, I use kagi and turned the LLM summaries off recently because they weren’t close to reliable enough for me personally so give it a test. I use LLMs for some tasks but I’m yet to find one that’s very reliable for specifics

- Comment on Why do some car lovers oppose bike infrastructure, when more bikes would mean fewer cars on the road? 1 week ago:
I think some of why is related to how most people in a traffic jam go “damn this traffic” not “damn, I’m making this worse”

That’s evidence for some people having more than a knee jerk response, it’s far from statistically saying it’s the most common rationale. Smart people are also amazing at having a knee jerk reaction and then making it sound well reasoned with clever arguments.
I agree its not just a knee jerk reaction, and I know I don’t have a good basis for how many are knee jerk vs rationalised but I do know I’ve been around plenty of people that seem to have a knee jerk reaction and plenty that demonise the culture, hell half the world is being bullied not to have windmills and some of that is blanket anything green is dumb
- Comment on Is anyone else having a hard time sympathizing with Americans? 1 week ago:
It’s probably more than “reliant on good-faith actors”. The Perils of Presidentialism by Juan J. Linz in 1990 is a decent paper comparing the instability of parliamentary democracies vs presidential democracies. Parliamentary democracies aren’t perfect, we have Hungary, but in hindsight it shouldn’t be surprising that presidential two party democracies are unstable. If you get two ideologies that are different enough then the government swings between the ideologies with the executive pushing for its side and opposite side getting angrier until, after a few oscillations of increasing amplitude, something snaps.

And… if only there was a method that could be used to test how well that would have worked…

I didn’t think about that. It almost looks metallic, or like the shading you see with 3d modelling software

I wonder what we can do to help motivate including links to sources
I messaged the moderator asking if we could update the channel description but haven’t heard back
- Comment on Io in True Color 1 week ago:
Yeah… I kind of wish it was a request of the channel. I’ve found a few of the sources now and it’s mostly on this channel people seem to post other people’s images with no references

This seems to be the source:

Although agreed that there is a pretty large issue with some people treating some bros online as a trusted source of information and not getting the obvious red flag that they are selling these same products.

Since this link wasn’t part of your post, and your post kind of prescribes health actions from news releases, I’d argue you’re making a separate mostly independent point here

- Comment on 600-year-old Viking shipwreck is the largest of its kind 3 weeks ago:
The page hidden behind the text “in a statement” has a lot more information and I think is better written (but longer):
vikingeskibsmuseet.dk/…/archaeologists-reveal-a-m…
It’s only at 13 metres and seems to be excavated as part of construction work. I think that explains the diving gear, I don’t think I’m familiar with it at all

I thought cameras on phones were a gimmick. To be fair, they were pretty low quality back then but I still use it to remind myself not to be too overconfident because boy was I wrong.

Isn’t this in the same city that started the Black Lives movement?
- Comment on YSK the Venezuelans community in the US is not representative of Venezuelans as a whole. 4 weeks ago:
In this case though, as much as I’d argue the US is violating the law and international balance in a way that I think could lead to some futures I don’t like, I still think its reasonable for a lot of individuals to want a leader that causes harm to no longer be the leader. It’s also pretty human to no longer care how that happens.
I’m ignorant on the ground but I’m not sure that focusing on the possible overgeneralisation is that productive. It kind of reminds me of early issues with ICE in the US: the right to defend yourself being removed is a problem regardless of if they’re a good or bad guy since the same logic can be applied to anyone. The good guy bad guy thing is very effective at motivating mobs though
- Comment on YSK the Venezuelans community in the US is not representative of Venezuelans as a whole. 4 weeks ago:
Its been years since I left my country (not Venezuela) and I love it.
Still, I like to joke that people that leave a country (like myself) are weird or phrased slightly differently they’re statistically not representative. I’ve noticed that I have a habit of meeting a small number of people from a country and overgeneralising and that’s particularly error prone when they’re traveler’s I’ve met somewhere or expats
