chicken,

I didn’t downvote but I have mixed feelings about the message here and don’t want to engage with negativity for expressing them, so I can see why some people might want to just press a button.

The Irish government wants to pass a law that could see you or your loved ones jailed for possession of memes, cartoons or any content that could be deemed "hateful".

The Bill includes no definition of hate and is wide open to abuse by bad actors. Defend free speech – say no to this legislation, and any legislation of is kind… Anywhere!...

chicken,

This is more of an argument against EM than free speech absolutism, since your point is that he doesn’t actually believe in it. But anyway it seems like there should be some possible middle ground between a truly absolutist position on free speech, and the overt disdain for free speech implied by a vague prohibition like the OP law. Isn’t it valuable for people to generally be able to speak their minds? That can be the case even if the loudest people hiding behind the idea are disingenuous, or if the furthest interpretations of it go too far.

chicken,

I use my foot

chicken,

I think it’s just since it is a visible thing, and because alternatives are products you can buy and be seen using, it becomes a prime target for scolding and virtue signalling.

Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them? (gadgettendency.com)

With support ending for Windows 10, the most popular desktop operating system in the world currently, possibly 240 million pcs may be sent to the landfill. This is mostly due to Windows 11’s exorbitant requirements. This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses. GNU/Linux may be...

chicken,

So what do people think of TPM, supposedly why they’re doing this?

The Mathematicians

What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

EDIT: Let’s cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We’re not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don’t believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I’m sure almost everybody has something...

Appreciate the thoughtful and in-depth response. My worry is more that a science article’s editorialized interpretation of the paper may be wrong or misleading, than that the public isn’t very able to scrutinize the quality of science in the paper itself. Waiting for a possible email response from a researcher is pretty much always going to be a little too high effort for someone wanting to spend a few minutes comparing claims in the article and claims in the paper to potentially call bullshit on discrepancies between them in an online comment.

chicken,

I’ve heard that beans can give people indigestion if they don’t eat them very often, idk how many of their dishes actually have beans in them though

chicken,

Well, what is it??

chicken,

I am picturing bits of smelly corn perpetually floating at the top of the p-trap under the shower drain

chicken,

Point is having a drivers license does not mean very much about whether you are competent at driving.

chicken,

took a lot of training and tests to qualify to drive on roads

Those tests are stupidly easy

chicken,

When they increase the money supply, yes they do.

chicken,

Money printing. Larger amounts loaned out every year devaluing all existing dollars. The number might be higher but it counts for less. Official inflation figures don’t even cover it since they don’t count things people actually try to use to store wealth.

chicken,

Which religion is this

chicken,

Yeah at this point it’s rarely worth it for me, mostly just don’t drink anymore.

chicken,

Resenting Microsoft more than I hated Linux basically. When Windows started pushing malware-like popups and automatically “upgrading” peoples OS without asking I started using Linux as my main OS. At that point I disliked Linux because I had had some bad experiences with attempting to use it in the past, but it was becoming clear it is the lesser of two evils. Over the years it got more tolerable while Windows just got worse. Not an evangelist or obsessed at all, I actually still dislike it, but there’s no way I’m going back.

chicken,

I was hoping to say both at once tbh

chicken,

My loathing of X grows

chicken,

Idk how to square it away with what you’re saying but potatoes are good for you and granulated sugar is bad for you.

chicken,

I never got the point of watching a movie with someone if you’re both just totally silent and not interacting the whole time. Then at the end it’s like “what did you think of the movie” “it was ok” “yeah”

2 hours wasted

chicken,

This guy is confident as fuck

chicken,

Sounds like you’re pretty far up there in terms of being financially well off then, most people don’t have the option of doing that.

chicken,

I mostly only use youtube for music, so my only complaint is that it’s some extra clicks to get a url in my clipboard I can use with my yt-dl script

chicken,
