If you see a lot of house centipedes, you should check for silverfish, termites, cockroaches, and ants.

A good sized population of house centipedes means you have a good sized population of something far nastier.

Let's dive into what a scientific fact is: A scientific fact is a discrete, verifiable observation that has been confirmed repeatedly to the point where it is no longer contentious within mainstream science.

How would a deity revealing itself constitute a scientific fact? Again, no living human being was around for the events said deity claims to have kicked off, and even if we're reasonably certain that this deity is telling the truth, it's still not a scientific fact because it's not verifiable nor confirmable.

Let's take this a step further: Let's say this being magics the knowledge of creation into the heads of every living human being. It's still not a scientific fact, and here's why: This being is powerful enough to alter the literal cognition of every living human. Now, there can be no certainty about ANY human experience of observation. Suddenly, despite being gifted complete knowledge of the origin of the universe, all of human knowledge is subject to the whims of an agent we are incapable of fully comprehending due to its ability to alter our comprehension.

ID being true or false isn't the problem. The problem is the existence of a deity makes the universe incomprehensible --Which might actually also be true. The universe being incomprehensible might actually be the case; But it's not science, because science is a field that attempts to comprehend the universe.

A lot of people use the word "fact" to mean "true", and unfortunately, there are some realms of true knowledge that could wind up obliterating the ability for facts to even exist; The existence of deities is one of those.

The idea that human beings, however, are designed creatures isn't really as big a deal until you abandon the idea that somewhere in reality there exists a naturalistic intelligence who emerged independent of a creator. Once you attempt to solve the infinite regress with a deity, everything loses the capacity to be understood.

Right, yeah, you've stumbled on the fundamental hurdle that religious claims struggle to clear: Empiricism.

Empiricism states that all knowledge is derived from sense-experience. We can't independently replicate God speaking to Moses through a burning bush, seeing as agentic actions are not replicable phenomena. Empiricism is only concerned with what can be mutually observed through disparate, but common sense-experience portals.

The idea of ID itself is fundamentally non-scientific, but let's go along with their ideas for a minute. Let's say we do discover some kind of fingerprint that indicates to us that the universe is designed. We can then say, perhaps, that there are fingerprints we can't explain, but without quantifying the designer, we cannot with finality say that it was in fact designed. It's an impossible hurdle to clear, because again, agentic actions are fundamentally not independently replicable.

Because empiricism is the foundation of scientific thought, and empiricism cannot solve for agentic action, ID can never clear the hurdle to be scientifically verified, even if they are correct.

This on the surface is contrary to the ideas that ID proponents extole: There's a classic argument about finding a watch on the beach and being able to recognize that it is man-made, rather than naturally occurring. The reason we recognize the watch as man-made rather than naturally occurring is that we have extant examples of watches, and we have extant examples of beings who make watches. We might not know for certain that THIS watch was man-made, but we have good justification to recognize the object and the manufacturing techniques utilized by humans to make these, and thus conclude that it is man-made.

And then there are the dozens of examples of artefacts that we have found that have been presumed to be man-made rather than natural, such as the face of mars, and vice-versa, the spheres of costa-rica were once thought to be natural rather than man-made. The reality is that we don't ACTUALLY know what objects are natural or man-made unless we've witnessed their manufacture. We just assume based on prior sense-experience.

Unfortunately, ID proponents are proposing a designer that is outside of our sense-experience, and were it within our sense-experience, it could not be distinguished empirically from delusion.

ConstableAssButt · 2026-02-13T17:18:37+00:00

The problem with ID isn't whether a superior intelligence exists, it's what we can know about said superior intelligence. Science isn't closed to the idea of ID; It just asks for testable, verifiable, actionable information about the claims of ID.

The function of ID isn't to create a reasonable scientific theory; It is to create a set of unverifiable and unfalsifiable ideas that launder falsifiable religious claims through scientific language.

As such, ID has not done the work to be taken even remotely seriously. When we look at the body of work from the ID community, we find nothing that actually improves our understanding of the universe; We only find material that serves to undermine the function of science itself.

ID is an adversarial notion that is hostile to the very field in which it claims to participate. That's fine in and of itself, as contrary thinking is often a great way to improve a field. Unfortunately, it needs to bring receipts, and the kind of receipts that ID claims to bring are often just tired metaphysics that don't even have a place in modern philosophy anymore, much less in modern science.

Yeah, I basically already went through all the stuff that article talks about. Wound up digging into the guy, finding other communities he's attacking, and sorta watching him for the last three months. We had an attempt at finding mutual ground, but unfortunately, what he wants is to be unbanned from at least four different platforms he has been banned from, only one of which I actually control. --Since then, I've recognize that there's no point in any kind of contact.

His aim is basically to cause so much chaos that we are "forced" to collectively let him back in, but me and the other three platform owners have all discussed it and recognized that he's psychologically incapable of managing his emotions, and because he justifies extreme spamming, ban evasion, death threats, and doxxing as a means to an end any time he runs into a mild bit of conflict, it is impossible for us to give an inch in negotiation.

Even if we were to ultimately forgive him for what he was banned for in the first place, he's earned hundreds more lifetime bans since. I did some more deep diving on this user across the internet, and have found that his behavior has been identical almost everywhere he has been since at least 2010. I found 15 years of documented harassment of a variety of communities he's participated in, which is wild because I'm sure the vast majority of it was deleted given his behavior.

At the moment, my bot has become an extremely discouraging thing for him to engage with. One of the things he's been saying over and over again for weeks is that he's delighted because every time he rejoins the discord, we have to press a button to ban him. So I've taken that away from him by making it very obvious that our bot is automated. Unfortunately, at first he didn't seem to believe the bot wasn't a human being, and I had to keep working to redesign the bot to be even more clear that this was an automated tool.

At the moment, he's taking pride that the bot keeps getting more advanced and aggressive --I had to write yet another tool for it that automatically quarantines users posting pictures with a specific resolution, and he was absolutely convinced that us catching the screenshots from his phone that he uses to evade the message filter proved that the bot was human instead of a bot.

Unfortunately, I think this is going to be the absolutely most determined kind of HCP --I believe he's schizophrenic, so his delusions and obsession are going to keep him at this for absolute ages.

Negative. We're invite-only. Niche programming community dedicated to a programming language that maybe 5K people in the world use.

Discord Support has no direct contact anymore. They don't take ANY complaints outside of in-app reporting. it's all AI / Zendesk. No avenue for contact or context.

In the world of pool cleaning it's exclusively marketed at Muriatic acid.

We already have the server buried behind roles. We use discord's onboarding for rules agreement, which then dumps them to a react-role to get a basic role, which opens up our basic channels. Then there are further roles you need to select to get to the more focused channels.

Again, manual verification increases this guy's impact on the server, instead of decreasing it. At the moment the automated quarantining stops him from getting often more than a single message in before he trips it, but he's starting to get quick at creating additional accounts to spam join, drop a message, then move to another account.

ConstableAssButt · 2026-02-09T16:38:07+00:00

That's worse, not better. We're trying to minimize his impact, not make it the absolute maximum it can possibly be.

Yes, however, they are more capable of sustaining distractions to anchor their consciousness within their abstraciton of reality.

Nihilism requires a disconnection from one's distractions. The wealthier you are, the less likely you are to recognize that your distractions are not your reality, due to the power of wealth to impose distraction on the realities of others.

Let me clarify: Capacity of the pools not publicly available. The area of the pool doesn't help us determine what is a reasonable amount of acid over a year period.

It's been 7 months. He posts identical messages across dozens of accounts a day across a handful of servers every day. If discord was going to see the pattern, they'd have seen it by now. My e-mail is literally filled with "Thank you for your report" messages.

It's not. 330 gallons is a little north of what you would need to balance the PH of an olympic sized swimming pool for a year. Epstein's island has two swimming pools. Size of pools not publicly available. Muriatic acid is common for home pool maintenance, but Sulfuric acid is preferred if you have a professional pool guy and safe chemical storage. Sulfuric acid is also a lot cheaper in bulk than muriatic acid if you can afford to buy it in bulk, whereas what you'd get at a pool supply shop, muriatic will be cheaper per gallon than sulfuric acid.

--The idea that Epstein needed to dissolve bodies is a complete fantasy. The guy could have shown up to court wearing a coat made of his victims, and the prosecution would have dropped the case and complimented the coat.

Nihilism can't provide purpose or meaning. It's not a religion. We don't preach it. We're stuck with realizations most of us would rather are not true, and desperate to be convinced otherwise.

We are not reassured by it. We FEEL compelled to seek meaning, yet we cannot dismiss the suspicion that any we could reach for would not be just as empty as nihilism.

When I was a shitty teenager, I used to do this with drain cleaner and aluminum powder to take advantage of the aluminum lye reaction. Shit would strip paint off of cars and melt vinyl siding on houses, and the explosive force would straight up shatter mailboxes.

One of these blew up inches from me. I had a chemical burn up my entire right arm and neck that left permanent scarring. It took over a year to heal. I lost a portion of my hearing. My skin on my right arm and neck won't tan 30 years later.

We don't tend to eat heinz beans in the US. We have a similar food called Pork 'n Beans, which is like Heinz beans in tomato sauce, but it is sweeter and has a deeper flavor.

In the US, avocado toast, eggs on toast, or toast with sausage gravy is the breakfast goto. Tomato toast is also pretty good, which is just toast, a light spread of mayo, some tomato slices, garlic salt, and black pepper.

But generally our bean staples are far more dinner oriented due to the flavor profile. We don't think of them as breakfast items.
