Most people on earth don’t care much about Paris. If you ask 1000 people on earth to do this measurement you’d probably get 1000 different answers. Picking the line that goes through Paris is just a random choice that got enough agreement.
It must be so exhilarating for you, asserting your opinions on weights and measures.
- Comment on Fictional 3 days ago:
There’s no reason to pick those specific things to base your system on.
If you’re not a human, and not living on earth, and are unconcerned with the day to day activities of humans as they go about their lives on earth, I tend to agree.

Anyone come up with a good measure of distance that makes the speed of light a nice round number? I like the metric system, but the meter feels pretty arbitrary. We could do better!
Originally, the meter was defined as one ten millionth the distance from the north pole to the equator, as it runs through Paris. The unit and system were picked for ease of use for day to day activities. It is also tied to the attributes of our planet, which is also how we derived the time units that we use.
That’s the opposite of arbitrary, no?

- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 2 weeks ago:
not only that, but then your pet attack dog comes along and somehow twists that into me defending pedophiles
I should actually pop back in and look at the thread, instead of just replying to my inbox. I have a pet attack dog? That’s kinda neat. I wasn’t aware, but neat nonetheless.
My point stands: when called upon to boycott Tesla, no resistance. When called upon to boycott Apple, blow up the conversation into anything but generating momentum for an Apple boycott.
It really is that reductionistic.

Why did you assume I was “nullifying action”?
Mostly your action nullifying attitude.
I shit on Tesla on a routine basis, and get zero pushback. No bitching about other vehicle producers who also are Trumpdy Dumptys…, zero.
I say don’t buy naziPhones, and people come out of the woodwork with every conceivable devil’s advocate angle, and basically maximize tangentiality.
Anything other than reinforcing the message of not buying apple:
Be mad at everyone, such that you apply pressure to no one.
You know, nullifying action.
- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 2 weeks ago:
You’re made of spare parts, aren’t ya, bud? No, therefore you should punish both, and get a phone with GrapheneOS or Linux.
So why didn’t you just say something like Look into Graphene OS or Linux in the first place?
- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 2 weeks ago:
FYI, Google is also going after ICE-spotting apps.
And therefore, ill punish neither.
Can you add anything else to nullify action, and foster an attitude of placid obedience?
Please, share more ideas to help entrench the status quo.

Thus solidifying my scorched earth policy with apple.
I don’t want your naziPhone.

It’s as though there’s been an unbroken pact from regime to regime, whether through inheritance or war, from old to new, from the vanquished to the victor:
Under no circumstances must our citizens experience freedom. Authoritarian then, now, and forever.
We don’t need to, but we’re gonna do it anyway.

- Comment on Humanity has to change how we solve disputes every so often to avoid people gaming it 3 weeks ago:
That’s how you get “general secretaries” and “chairmen of military commission” who are totally not Supreme Leaders.
President, king, politburo, commission, magnets, general secretary, whatever.
Forget naming conventions, and limit the scope of power. When someone gets delusions of grandeur and tries to consolidate more power, remove them.
- Comment on Humanity has to change how we solve disputes every so often to avoid people gaming it 3 weeks ago:
None of us are particularly talented at ruling, and when given power we tend to impose it on others.
Limit personal wealth/power, make it difficult to entrenched, and make it easy for society to strip it from those who want to hoard it.
- Comment on If A.I. is so fast and efficient, and CEOs are paid so much, why not replace CEOs with A.I.? 3 weeks ago:
Every one of us is utterly replaceable, including the billionaires and multi-billionaires.
For all the status quo that they push for, they don’t actually do anything special.
You could take the average billionaire, strip them of all their worth and hand it over to some millionaire, and basically nothing would change as far as the planet is concerned.
This is not a scenario where we are all NPCs to their game. We are all players, but more to the point, they are as expendable and interchangeable as we are.

Rumor has it that he is so disliked by his colleagues, that they started circulating the rumor to undermine him.
They’re relying on the fact that it’s so hard to tell what’s true and what’s only highly likely.

I swear to God, if you bring up the totally not true story that he plays with Barbie dolls, I’m gonna fucking lose it.

It’s all about control.
If you can convince your cannon fodder to disregard their own health outcomes, you can convince them to go along with pretty much anything.
Then you just hand them their marching orders, and they comply, regardless of their personal consequences.

Insults because you still don’t have anything?
You’re having some sort of brainfart. The youtube link literally includes receipts of Linus, in his own words, being a cunt.
Lol get off your high horse if you are going to act like this much of an ass.
No high horse required. A presentation of the facts works, as is.
This was me casually dropping some shade on some dickhead, who i barely know or care about.
Would you like me to lean into spotlighting his history of being a narcissistic cunt? We both know that there is no shortage of dirt out there.
Just ask, and I’ll add more credible links as I find them.
Or if that doesn’t suit your fancy, consider shutting your yip yap.
