To be completely fair I doubt that the Ukrainian military is particularly woke.

(The trans girls designing their weapons systems probably are though)

Is restricting your best posts to bluesky some sort of incentive system?

I wish people who rushed to defend science would learn the first thing about it.

Like how do you get so far in life without knowing what "confounding" means in a ststistics context?

It would be nice to see some people attend for a change

People are just incapable of being normal about this, huh?

Hi Liam, I'm afraid it's impossible to enjoy the original Star Wars trilogy outside of the context of the Disney Kenobi TV series.

This is complete macron erasure!

Thoughtful patriotism is a winning political strategy, and I'm glad that left wing politicians haven't abandoned it.

Pilk?

"technically"

2022 Liam would have bitten thr bullet!

It feels like a lot of the responses to the article have been a bit intellectually dishonest, tbh

Like yes, thank you for finally recognising the absurdity of the term 'African American' but are people just now going to pretend it isn't commonly understood as a euphemism for black?

The gap between black african and carribean brits is pretty persistent across multiple areas iirc, and it's a similar story for pakistani and indian brits.

Does make me wonder if there is an initial immigrant halo effect.

"No mum you did not 'discover' my porn collection! To discover something is to identify a phenomenon which is previously uncategorised by any other human, and as you can see this is already extensively categorised and has been reviewed countelss times! Honestly, pick up a book some time."

(Okay it took them a couple of revisions, but...)

It's crazy how the founding fathers exactly foresaw the Trump administration and gave us the tools to defeat it.

It turns out you can get away with doing outrageous things if you keep doing them.

Eventually people get bored and...

It's worse than that, you're allied with the worst kinds of reply guy on the internet (me)

Ethical twitter crossposting

There are actually some DAOs for reddit users to sell their individual data collectively.

(The proposed income allocation is via weighting income by reddit karma, which on the face of it seems like one of the most comically darkly dystopian concepts ever.)

Fortunately in many areas public experience is captured through survey data, which is fallible in it's own right, but serves as an important reference when considering these types of debates.

I think there are cases where the majority individual experience can run contrary to macro trends, and in many cases the public perception alone can be an important aspect, but the nature of it is the discussion often just gets captured by discourse itself and self-referential spirals.

I thought it was chili?

This is how I feel when string theorists are like "okay nut the maths works put if you model as having 13 different dimensions, but most are just really small" and you know, maybe?

It's those damn butterflies in Asia l tell you!

Did you really watch a whole sequence about piloting a crude analogy of a cock and balls down a narrow channel trying to get their "emission" into a tiny hole in the end and conclude it was anything else???

"What's that? You think I should act in a way that delivers society - and by extension yourself - the maximum expected utilons. And you're saying you think this is some fundamental truth of the universe? How convenient..."

Thics is all made up anyway (it's true, google it!) but virtue ethics makes a lot of sense as a bunch of heuristics to maximise shared utility.

But also it's the kind fo things that you'd selfishly want to encourage in others anyway.

As a general rule rights protect those things (and by extension people) that are unpopular, else they wouldn't need to be rights.

There is a weird overlap between philosophers and Visual Novel readers.

This is obviously flippant but it is curious why transracialism is frequently not seen as a valid form of expression, but also why exceedingly few people appear to express it - all of the objections I can think of would also apply to transgenderism and most of us consider that valid.
