  I never heard of it until a couple of weeks ago, and now I hear too much. Sounds like serious advertising and marketing dollars are being spent

  I think this exposes the sadism of philosophy the past few hundred years.

  Often, it’s been some rich idle folks making up murderous fantasies in their heads while looking down at my ancestors . “Oh, you don’t know page 273 of Aristotle’s rejoinder? Haha, you must be too poor”.

  Semi related for all the programmers, and makers of online services, and similar providers, doing stuff on their own: nobody is going to care about your obeying regulations , compliance and rules about your thing until it gets big enough.

  Obviously avoid some things! But that list is very small. And for that there is the dark web which has its own rules.

  But all the other stuff ( usually legit ordinary stuff) can be safely ignored until that site or service is more than a one person show , or never, whichever comes first.

  Usually people who have good ideas do not have much money, and many are intimidated by this or that law or regulation which the rich and well connected use to prevent more competition .

  If one gets to that point the regulations are starting to have teeth, then that is a sign of success. And most probably profits, which can be used to fix up the service to comply. Or shut down and do the next idea

  So… I’m in Texas , been here a long time.

  most ballot counts in the primaries and general are counted by secret software and hardware run by ultra conservative families the last 20 plus years. Recounts are not allowed and exit polls not used anymore because of unpredictability.

  Nobody cares, no political party wants to change : not a topic in forums anywhere, even in conspiracy minded chat rooms, and it’s been this way forever ( since before 2000).

  There is a ton of crazy that is ignored .

  I’ve seen how the system works, I’ve been at the county chair level. Nobody will criticize it . There is a quiet culture of people knowing it’s invalid but decide to leave it be.

  Oceans freezing also depends on currents, and mixing of the water from the surface. 28° will freeze water in a room.

  This is why often the ocean is not frozen at much lower temperatures.

  I’m not at all cognizant of how 0 was decided

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Burning Up⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  0°F is when the ocean freezes

  100° F was human body temperature, later revised somewhat with better measurements and a decrease of parasites . The average person in those days in London had a slightly higher body temperature than today
