Yes exactly! This is a much better description than I was able to come up with.
I don't think there's much to be learned from SA in this context. It existed during a different time of the internet, when cultural capital and honestly just raw power were allocated differently. It existed into the…
I didn't catch if she said she was completely blind or not. She may be able to make out some shape or color distinctions and is using that as a navigational aid. I have a friend who is blind but keeps their phone on max…
Well the first two at least. I'm describing my beliefs. They are also shared by a lot of people; y'all wouldn't have to yell about free speech so much if this view was unpopular. I admit that I also enjoy riling up…
Correct!
Why not? Can you explain what "the issue itself" is in a way completely divorced from the people who have devoted themselves to _making_ it the issue? Even if you can I don't see the value honestly.
No, you're embedding a bunch of viewpoints in this comment as facts when there is absolutely room for disagreement. For example I think "rural people's best hope of finally not being an afterthought" is massive…
> The only reason it hasn't is that the telecom companies have bought out the government. I don't think this is true really. There's been a really big shift in the last 50-ish years and at least in the US there seems to…
I mean spread awareness but that's pretty much every job. I've done a lot of kinds of work in my life but this is pretty much the easiest. At least we're paid well and respected. All the other kinds of work were just as…
I don't think you understand. The mere fact that it COULD potentially be used by anyone is a defense against all complaints. Because democracy. Like a magic charm you see. No I have never read any theory or heard the…
I mean true but this is like pointing out that no one plays baseball with a golf club. One is ubiquitous because it's useful and the other isn't. Prescriptive dictionaries do exist but they're mostly used by specialists…
A good bit of my work is in php codebases from that era and uh... yeah kinda. Generally at that time (and for a few years after) you still see a huge influence from C programming constraints in php. Lot of extremely…
Yes this is exactly my understanding as well, from inside the US.
If it's not hard to avoid being overweight when poor, and most poor people are overweight... what is happening? Do you see the obvious conclusion here? Do you endorse it?
Huh interesting. Must just be an accent thing. I have a southern US accent in English and American accent with SW France influences in French. To me they aren't that similar but I do see how they could be. You're the…
Interesting angle that I hadn't considered but I think you're right. I'm reconsidering my position on this one, thank you!
This is a lot of really well expressed information that completely fails to grapple with the fact that most developers write code for the web and apple computers are extremely popular among web developers. All of the…
Yeah I don't know what to do with the assumption that going to meeting in meetinghouses in what quakers do either. I've been to a lot of quaker meetings and the venue has been pretty evenly split between traditional…
I'm not an insider in the music industry so I can't comment on this teacher's view but that seems... possible sure yeah I can see it. That's totally separate from the algorithm/genre issue though. The genres have never…
Yes this is one of the great advantages of the "some might say" move, love that shit.
This seems weird and bad. Emotion and "reason" aren't two ends of a spectrum. You likely aren't any more logical or less emotional now than you were before. I believe you about better control over how you engage with…
I wouldn't call this abuse either but there is a huge huge gulf between "that was the best time of my life" and "this is the best time of your life. It's at best just extremely rude to tell someone about their own life…
So I'm obviously not a monk but I've known some and that doesn't surprise me too much. Outside of some orders that highly value education, I think monastic life generally discourages knowing things for the sake of…
No one's trying to ban all potentially offensive homophones though, where did you even get that? I don't see any sort of proposal for what that would look like or how it would work. This is the case of one project…
Don't they pay them like 40 cents an hour though? It might not be that egregious anymore but those programs are exempt from minimum wage laws and as far as I know goodwill takes that as far as they can.
