- Comment on How does South Park get away with trashing identifiable people? Are they sued often? 7 months ago:
Celebrities don’t really win anything by suing. First, they look like a cry baby. Second, the bar for slander/libel against a public figure is enormous.
- Comment on Pros and cons of getting a job at a very small software company? (14 employees) 7 months ago:
Small companies are great. Opportunities for growth. Always the chance to switch to a bigger company later.
In my experience the micromanaging is LESS at a smaller company. No middle managers who have to justify their existence.

To echo Beryl, light is a wave.

First contact? Annular? Lunar?
I believe in partial and total. All the other eclipses are mental illnesses.
- Comment on 1000 years from now physics is forgotten and all that remains is the legend of two hobbits, Charm and Spin, and their quest for the Higgyboson. At this point, is physics true? 7 months ago:
Can you know something if it’s false? Is that the question?
- Comment on If Hitler was captured, what would have been his punishment in the Nuremberg Trials? 7 months ago:
They would have uploaded his brain into a supercomputer and then forced him to experience death six million times over.
Just kidding, he would have been executed like many many other war criminals throughout history.

Good example. Obsidian is apparently 70% silica. Iron is apparently what makes it black in color. If it’s thin enough, it is translucent.
If you cool pure silica slowly enough, with impurities to cause seeding, you will get tons of crystals, not a single glass, that won’t be transparent.
- Comment on ⌛⌛ 7 months ago:
It’s the cooling of silica (really, any material) that makes it a glass, and even then, transparency in the visual wavelength is not automatically certain.

If there was another memorable line from this movie, I’d be quoting it. The utter genius.

Just because that is how you enjoy the show doesn’t mean everyone is the same way.

It’s worth citing that this would not be routine for you or me. It would not be normal for any state to delay this and plenty of states would not

Palm Beach Post suggests the Full Faith and Credit clause of the constitution disagrees with you.
The Sun Sentinel does suggest James would have to ask Florida courts to grant the lien or the foreclosure.
All the other major news sources barely contend with the idea that a state could simply deny a lawful court order of another.

Why would this be true?

- Comment on Misinformation? 8 months ago:
Not sure the angle here.
Yes potentially there was “mutual rape” or whatever you want to call it.
The point of the poster is that a) rape charges against men are often prosecuted, b) going to parties to find “easy women” who are to drink to legally consent, even if you are also at the same level of drunkeness, isn’t a great idea.
If the poster is sexist, it’s mostly just trying to market to its audience and the legal realities.
This is a poster trying to get 18 year olds to moderate and consider their behavior, not be a treatise on law or gender studies.

- Comment on American veganism is like American Christianity. Sometimes fine and wholesome, especially when kept to oneself; but often a toxic, blatantly lying, proselytizing cult when in a group 8 months ago:
The only people better at being a victim than vegans are you!

Thanks for clearing up some stuff most of us googled years ago.
- Comment on weaponized nerdery 8 months ago:
I think the post makes a point important in modern capitalism: people will create “value” for free because they can, they care, they want to, it’s a challenge. Capital and/or the threat of starvation is not actually always necessary for people to be “productive”. Ego, boredom, altruism, adventure, these are also traits of humanity besides survival and greed.

- Comment on Exception implies deficiency. Am I the only one who sees this? 8 months ago:
This is maybe the most illogical conclusion I have seen written anywhere.
“you say A, I say C, clearly the answer is sort of C but also B”
No, it’s not logical that the correct answer is somewhere between two popular answers. 1+1 does not equal 2.3, just because some people say it’s actually 3
- Comment on Exception implies deficiency. Am I the only one who sees this? 8 months ago:
You aren’t.
So we live in capitalism. So usually the presumed deficiency is that historical their families were denied opportunities and therefore the candidate has had inherited a lack of opportunities, or would otherwise face a lack of opportunities.
Family capital is very real. Racism is still very real. It’s not that your black doctor had bad grades and shouldn’t have gotten into medical school. It’s presumed he had less opportunities than his white peers who scored sliiightly better, and besides the cut off doesn’t imply lack of ability, it implies a limit on seats in medical school.
