terrific

Using phrasing such as “necessarily implies” is exactly what makes me call your conversation style “lecturing”.

Is it normal to talk like this in your circles? In my culture it’s a certain way to antagonize anyone who doesn’t already agree with you.

It’s a fair point. Your assessment is missing one crucial piece of context: my last conversation with CowBee. It was really quite painful and I’m just not in the mood for another treatment.

I’m sorry if I’m dismissive but I gotta tell you, last time we talked felt an awful lot like being lectured. You didn’t really engage with anything I said but rather regurgitated endless theories and facts.

And you are a self-proclaimed Marxist-Leninist, is that not true? Subscribing to a particular narrative is IMO exactly what “dogmatic” means. I’m not saying it’s wrong, it’s truer than most dogmas. But still a dogma.

Oh it’s you again. Last time we talked you lectured me about imperialism. I’m not really interested in a lecture today, or any day. We can have a conversation if you want, but I’m not going to subscribe to your dogma.

Americans think that the US is the centre of the universe 🙄

Anti-communism is a fancy name for fascism.

As someone who was forced to start using Windows again after ten years after ten years of exclusively running Linux: Why is it like this? Everything is so crappy and slow!

I too could have won it! I just didn’t want to. It’s too easy, you see?

This is a very good point since tritium is a very limited resource.

The hope is that it will be generated by the fusion reactor itself using tritium breeder blankets https://www.iter.org/machine/supporting-systems/tritium-breeding

Whether that will work remains to be seen.

Terrific!

Wow. It sounds like something out of PKD’s VALIS. Which of my memory serves me right is thought to have been an outlet for the author’s paranoid delusions.

ChatGPT is probably one of the most dangerous catalysts to psychosis, and almost completely unchecked at this point.

Proton is pretty good and covers IMO the most critical parts of the Google ecosystem. I made the move a couple of weeks ago and it has been pretty easy, honestly.
