So it translates to “Prenag”? I love it.
- Comment on The uber wealthy arent leaving. Its a lie. 1 week ago:
Exactly this. If the infrastructure is good, you get a well educated, productive, reliable workforce. The rich need to be taxed, for their own good. Many of them realise this and welcome it, because they can’t do it for themselves. The government has a duty to do it.
Personally I’m for the transfer of ownership of the means of production to the working class, but even neoliberals should be on board with a wealth tax, regardless of the fact that a side effect is a more enjoyable life for the riffraff. - Comment on Me attending "AI University" at work today 1 week ago:
Copilot is useless. I’ve yet to take less time explaining what I want from it than it would take to do it myself. Very big, one off repetitive tasks -you know, the exact type you want to quickly automate- are never properly understood or executed, and smaller ones need so much refinement that it’s not worth the time. Productivity gain < 0
- Comment on A pattern of negative posts about the BBC 2 weeks ago:
I think you have your answer. The bias towards Israel, and the transphobia are writ large in this thread as reasons.
These have been well documented, and on their own render opposition to BBC news reporting a perfectly reasonable position to hold. - Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
That is why empiricism relies on sensory information.
So you don’t need axioms for empiricism, just to be clear. Your saying “actually” could make it look like you’re disagreeing, when you’re actually not. - Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
We don’t need axioms for empiricism. That’s the entire point. We ask reality questions and infer limited and verifiable knowledge from the results, without ever stating that anything has been proven.

There’s no evidence for the Copenhagen interpretation either, it’s just the most conservative.

It’s important, yes. Imgur is not accessible in the UK anymore.

Seeing things counts as something hitting you: photons.

Momentum is conserved when passing through a portal. In the reference frame of the out portal, the object has no momentum, so it plops out.
- Comment on Musk: Many British people are living in lovely small towns. They are just like Hobbits. Until one day, people show up and start raping their kids 1 month ago:
Moron has obviously had no “exposure” to Hertfordshire if he thinks it’s like the Shire Image

You’re not making any sense. Have a word with yourself, maybe?
- Comment on 1 month ago:
You’re twisting words here.
Being glad because someone who was actively, demonstrably harmful on an enormous scale is dead, is not the same as “celebrating someone you don’t like dying”.
And neither has anything whatsoever to do with Zionism. - Comment on Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age' 1 month ago:
They are. For reasons I outlined.

They’re taxable is what they are
- Comment on Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age' 1 month ago:
You think money is imaginary. Ain’t no sane person listening to you.
- Comment on Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age' 1 month ago:
You don’t understand how any of this works.
- Comment on Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age' 1 month ago:
Billionaires make money on those unrealised gains. Therefore they are an asset, and must be taxed.

I remember my English teacher telling me the word “set” was the worst example of this, with over 200 definitions in the unabridged Oxford dictionary.

God yes. Especially with an advent that makes the-ant into two syllables.

Totally different R sound in English crucifix and French croissant.
- Comment on What's a word for "I actively endorse it for others even though I dislike it”? 2 months ago:
A single word: “abstain”/“forgo” , although these don’t express personal dislike. “Eschew” describes the shunning of something so might be more suitable. Since you’re using only one word, you might get some follow up questions:
“I eschew gnome”.
“
Dude wtf does “eschew” mean and why are you such a poser?Oh really? Why’s that then?” - Comment on UK weather: Amber extreme heat warning issued as 35C heatwave approaches 2 months ago:
All great advice. Can I just add two details?
- Install the foil on the outside of the windows if possible. The sun will still heat the air between your window and the foil, raising the temperature in your room, if you install on the inside.
- Kitchen foil works just as well. Harder to install, but cheaper. I crafted some sun blinds with tinfoil and cardboard that I use every year.
I can’t stress enough how much is a difference the foil blinds make. Goes from unbearable to comfortable almost immediately.
- Comment on Imagine How embarrassing that would be 2 months ago:
Why do you think that?
- Comment on Imagine How embarrassing that would be 2 months ago:
… Except if the USA was the aggressor, invading that country in a folly war. I think there is doubt about that.
- Comment on Imagine How embarrassing that would be 2 months ago:
It’s actually politically damaging to help the USA in its folly wars under this regime. Trump is even less popular in Europe than he is in the US. I guess they probably would help, but not definitely, and definitely not enthusiastically.
- Comment on [Video] Hasan Piker wonders why he is banned from the UK but Elon Musk is not after inciting race-riots in Belfast 2 months ago:
Advised is irrelevant in the context of banned. It does have something to do with what other people have been “stopped from”; because it’s a comparison, and there is therefore no error.
As an aside, “Mr Musk” deserves no respect from you. He is a fascist, and should not be tolerated.
- Comment on [Video] Hasan Piker wonders why he is banned from the UK but Elon Musk is not after inciting race-riots in Belfast 2 months ago:
Is that the point though? Isn’t the point that he has done far less to endanger the UK population than Elon, and yet he is banned and Elon isn’t? Surely that’s worth discussing?
