Title’s hard click bait. It leads up to talking about Arrow’s Impossibility theorem, which sets forth some explicit rules for defining a fair election, and communicates that all finite-vote systems are dictatorships that fail to meet those criteria, including ranked choice voting. Arrow’s theorem also uses ‘dictatorship’ in a pretty weird technical fashion, meaning that one individual can technically sway any election with their sole choices.

Directly after, though, Veritasium does acknowledge that Duncan Black pokes holes in the actual value of Arrow’s theorem, by showing that many ordinal voting systems will still favor majority preference, and that Arrow’s theorem does not apply to rated voting systems like approval voting and STAR voting.

It’s pretty bizarre that he decided to make such a click-baity title and front-load only skim over the better solution at the end, right near election month.

Using twitch is alot like being the orb pondered

Bobby Duke’s good too. Fairly talented, but also just a dad making sculptures while fuckin with cinematography.

I’ve seen some screenshots sifting around, and it’ll take a minute for me to hunt those down.

For now, here’s a xeet from the victim after rereading the chat logs directly.

Edit: I forgot about this, woops. I did find a Redditch megathread about the issue that has some screenshots of discord chats. That is probably the best aggregation of info and evidence currently. Apologies about reddit.

“I was not groomed” would just as easily come from someone being groomed as someone not, since the victim is unlikely to know it’s happening to them in the moment. IIRC, the chat logs for that situation were cancel-worthy by themselves - grooming accusations aside.

I reckon that cornea there’s bumpier than a gnarled pebble judgin by the number of them there shimmers.

You were the one who implied that, by saying that not having children leaves it up to those who will.

Adoption. Community building. Helping the disenfranchised.

These are all methods of bettering the future without pumping another child into this world. And arguably, they’re morally better than having a child.

I agree that bringing life into the world is morally bad. I also agree that eating other animals is morally bad, as is killing, always. However, that does not mean we should not do these things at times. You just need to understand that you are still committing an immoral act for personal gain. There is no such thing as a perfectly moral existence, as the world is a cruel place which cares little about morality and often forces you to be immoral. You should instead work towards being as moral as in out can when you can, and accept that sometimes morality is out of your hands.

In the case of the child: you are bringing a human consciousness kicking and screaming into this world you know to be dangerous and cruel. That is immoral, and you did it either by failing precaution, or out of personal want or instinct. I think to repent, you are morally obligated to give that child a good life at minimum and ideally the best life you can. You are beholden to them until they can live on their own happily, and you are obligated to help them even after that. I also think that if that child resents how you’ve cared for them, you have no grounds to hold that against them, as you were the one that forced them into this world.

If you cannot do the above, you are should reconsider whether you are fit to have a child.

It is also arguable that to do justice without injustice, the only option is to adopt or guide another person who has no one providing things they need, and I don’t think this kindness should be limited to children but children are the most vulnerable.

I understand what you mean. The future is scarily uncertain right now.

I encourage folks take that anxiety and turn it into productivity. Look into your local solidarity communities, which may take form as Union groups, local food shelfs, or many other forms. Donating your time or resources is what can help those most impacted right now and later down the line. There’s no cut and dry way to find them, you just have to look and ask around your community.

I would also recommend beginning to prep. There’s some small communities on Lemmy, such as [email protected] ( you can find others by searching communities with ‘prep’ in their name). There’s also some great podcasts covering prepping such as LLTWID and It Can Happen Here(this one is more heavy on current news but provides prep info in some episodes.

I would also say that keeping your ear on guntubers isn’t a bad idea (Brandon Herrera, Garand Thumb, etc.). Not only do they provide tutorials that are potentially useful in extreme cases (Garand Thumb’s urban and rural evasion tutorials and TRex Arm’s summary of radio comms for example), but they are also likely laying out the playbooks most amateur militia will use in the future (if it comes to that), which could be useful info to know going forward.

This is even more relevant to Digimon. I have no idea of whether their file format is supported, or how digiworld differs on OS’s. I’d have to guess it’s some type of web protocol? Dunno…

Edit: dug back into my childhood, the Digiworld is stored on a cluster of servers, so those are pretty likely going to be some flavor of linux. Local PC client applications are used for storing Digimon locally IIRC, and we also see in this clip that it appears that the guys are using windows 95 or something similar.

Still alot of questions but

Is this normal in Iceland? What’s the current situation there?

Edit: Found Details link

Edit2: looks like the town was evacuated

AWAB, fuck the Mage’s Guild!

One thing I think should definitely be put out there more loudly is that Alexithymia(emotional blindness) is likely very common among dudes. I’m mostly going off personal experience, and how I’ve had issues identifying my emotions, and how I’ve heard some dudes I’ve talked to straight up just say they think they don’t feel things. I suspect potentially most dudes don’t understand how to detect emotions outside of very intense sadness, anger, etc. and I think that they need that communicated and a path they can maybe follow.

We’ve had “hidden” planets multiple times actually. In one case, we discovered Neptune by observing that Uranus’ orbit was wonky, and this really Bolstered peoples’ trust of Newton’s gravitational theory.

The existence of another planet even closer to the sun than Mercury, Vulcan, was also hypothesized by the same astronomer who predicted Neptune’s existence. This was due to Mercury also having a wonky orbit. After Einstein’s general relativity came about though, it was found that no new planet was necessary to explain Mercury’s orbit.

I think this new planet is the one predicted by Cal Tech “Planet Nine”, is supposedly 10 Earths in size, orbits on average 20 times further out than Neptune, and has a very oblong orbit out in deep space.

As another ‘fun’ tangent, there is some debate every now and again that dark matter may demonstrate that Einstein’s Theory of Relativity is also flawed and that we’re in need of a new theory. Currently, though, there has not been a sufficient new theory to take its place, so the existence of ‘unseen’ matter still is the strongest explanation we have. I put ‘fun’ in quotes because it seems like this debate is starting to affect astronomers and physicists the same way that 'The Orangutan" affects Edgar Allen Poe experts. Video related

I’ve learned that most of the time I’m just going to have to break down what I mean. I’ve gotten pretty good at getting what neurotypical people mean first try, but that door does not swing both ways.

It makes forming relationships much more difficult, but once someone understands they’ll need some patience I can just explain things till we both get what I’m saying.

I’ve heard that neurodivergent folks understand each other immediately without issue but that there’s a barrier between the two sides communicating. I’d believe it. I run into other neurodivergent people sometimes and am able to just immediately click with them.

There’s a freaky ghost

Sleepin’ in your bed

So long as that drug use is paired by actually good rehabilitation infrastructure (like Portugal’s drug abuse treatment before its unraveling)
