The atheism sub perma banned me under the accusation of advocating for the harm of children for a one off random comment and I was suddenly just done.
- Comment on Trump Administration Fires New Shot in Fight Over California Clean Car Rules | A lawsuit argues that the state’s regulations would illegally force a rapid transition to electric vehicles. 5 days ago:
It’s hilarious just how deeply insecure these people are. Well it would be if they weren’t…you know…killing people and destroying the world.

- Comment on The U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team won gold — and then lost the room 2 weeks ago:
I agree with the point of the article but found it entirely rambling.
- Comment on In the US we have signs that say No Shirt No Shoes No service. When did this become a norm? Also if I am wearing a shirt and shoes but no pants can I still enter? 3 weeks ago:
I believe that the no shirt no shoes was originally targeted at rural areas where someone might be working on the farm and come in as they were to buy some groceries. Time? Probably 1950s with the larger health and hygiene movements of the time.

Is that a JE reference?

I remember seeing an article about how the xlsx format description was several hundred pages in length.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 5 weeks ago:
It is a scummy thing to do but the leaders of the gaming industry, Gabe aside, have always been psychopaths.

It’s always been about power, not policy
- Comment on Hard to answer the question when you don't even understand the question 1 month ago:
I’ve literally had this happen. Doing a doctorate in engineering rn and this is real.
- Comment on It always makes news when the "Doomsday Clock" is moved by a second or minute. What would actually happen if it got to 00:00 1 month ago:
As I understand, this clock measures how habitable the world remains for humans. If we get to the end, we’d say that humans can’t easily survive anymore.

Or the heavy statistics….

That’s when it’s most useful because now it’s nonstick.
- Comment on Supreme Court Refuses to Allow Trump to Deploy National Guard in Chicago 2 months ago:
The catch is that it’s not a final decision and they can still do whatever the hell they want but probably won’t.
- Comment on Day 520 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 months ago:
You are amazing. I have not paid super deep attention to these but seem them nearly every time you post and think that what you are doing is really cool.

Thank you.

I keep seeing this reference but missed the news. What’s going on?
- Comment on While we eagerly await the second coming of Steam Machines, it's worth remembering what a gloriously awful mess Valve got itself in over a decade ago 3 months ago:
Why is it necessary to go on the attack over a past attempt that didn’t work? That’s how innovation functions. Sometimes you hit the mark and sometimes you don’t, but everyone learns from the process.
- Comment on People who live in southern hemisphere countries: do your mall Santas dress for freezing cold weather? 4 months ago:
People in South America still play Santa but it’s a much different experience in the hottest part of summer.
- Comment on Did Border Control exist in previous eras? (Say, like 500+ years ago or more) Can people go to other places? If so, what does the procedure look like? Just walk across a border? 5 months ago:
These things have existed for as long as cities did but worried mostly about import duties than immigrants. In most of history, having more people to do useful things was a good thing and they tended not to block immigration except when there might be ethnic or racial tensions and such.
- Comment on How realistic is it for me to learn Japanese so that I can experience Anime better? How long would it take to learn? Has anyone attempted this? 5 months ago:
I had a friend who was a computer science student and did an additional major in Japanese just so he could read manga in original language. It can be done but requires a lot of dedication.
If you are a native English speaker, then learning Germanic and Romance languages will be easy because they have much in common. With Japanese, there’s no real evolutionary commonality so you really have to just learn a whole new system that doesn’t match your expectations–and from scratch. Example:
1,352
English: one-thousand three-hundred fifty-two Japanese: one thousands place, three hundreds place, five tens place, two
Just the conception of how numbers work is different. This isn’t to say you shouldn’t try to do this, it would be fantastic. Just know that you have to develop a lot of new intuitions.
